They're just straight up calling autism a social contagion now. Exactly the same thing they did to trans people.

The Roberts court has spent decades systematically making it harder for workers and consumers who try to fight back in court—including raising the bar to bringing antitrust suits, blessing fine-print clauses that deprive workers of their day in court, and gutting class actions. trib.al/cARcvaU

To be clear, this guy thinks 9/11 was an inside job!

A must-read thread 🧵

My entire lifetime has seen Republicans benefit from every structural bias in the system: two republican presidents elected while losing the popular vote,the senate being biased towards small rural conservative states,house and state legislatures being heavily gerrymandered, and a captured SCOTUS.

I agree with the Dark Woke Commander.

In a speedy timeline that is rare for the Court, SCOTUS ruled to allow Louisiana to redraw its congressional districts even as an election is underway. The decision not only continues to reshape voting rights law, but also accelerates the GOP's efforts to redraw maps on compressed timelines.

In case you’re wondering, this is a real post.

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

Pediatrician and former state senator Richard Pan is on a mission—to make vaccines great again.

as long as john roberts has his majority, there is simply no pro democracy reform that will survive the supreme court. none.

The basic view of Alito and the rest of the Roberts Court when it comes to voting rights is that black people can vote for anyone they want as long as it is a Republican.

The 70-90% desistance numbers myth has always been bullshit but it's nice to see research confirming that it is. phys.org/news/2026-04...

Funny how that works. 🤔🫤🤨🙂‍↔️

Land doesn't vote, dumbass, people do. And cities are where most people live. And if not for the advantages given to rural voters (Senate, Electoral College, gerrymandered maps), Republicans would lose most elections.

What do Levi’s, Hanes, and Chewy have in common? California AG Rob Bonta just revealed evidence alleging that Amazon used its power to pressure them, and countless other brands, to inflate prices of listings on rival online marketplaces as part of wide-ranging price-fixing scheme.

John Roberts' wife is not the only Supreme Court spouse to shake down people with business before the court to give bribes. Ginni Thomas has a "consulting firm" (AKA a PO Box for checks) to funnel money to Clarence. #Corruption

1. Idaho banned the pride flag on government property. So Boise made the pride flag their official city flag, which allowed them to fly it. Then Idaho banned new city flags. So in response, Boise has now wrapped the poles themselves in rainbows! Subscribe to support our journalism.

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

It's peculiar because Trump never shuts the fuck up or misses a chance to get attention from the press. The fact that he has changed his behavior is odd. Also, Biden wasn't the attention-whore Trump is, so going a few days without a press event was normal.

you, a naive fool: i do believe there are some things the nytimes won’t both sides the nytimes:

Trump: Not-Ivanka isn't doing her job. She's supposed to make me look good but the media is still being mean to me. Anyone: She's a young blonde woman who lacks a conscience and is willing to fuck rich old men. That's why you hired her, not because you actually thought she could make you look good

More than 2 million oil and gas wells sit unplugged in the U.S., many leaking contaminants into waterways, farmland and neighborhoods. Time and time again, oil companies have walked away — leaving taxpayers to pay for cleanup. Here’s how. (Published Dec. 2024)

Shortly after Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed Florida’s version of the SAVE America Act into law, pro-voting groups moved swiftly to challenge the severe new voting restrictions, asking a federal court to block the state from requiring voters to prove their citizenship status.

Please, please, please let Trump step in to argue the case against birthright citizenship. His inane ramblings would make it impossible for the conservative justices to decide in his favor and still pretend to have any intellectual legitimacy. It would also be really funny to listen to.

When you combine this case with Skrmetti, the Supreme Court has initiated a regime where states can ban medical care to affirm trans youth while states cannot ban efforts to engage in conversion therapy on trans youth. This court is such a joke.

FCC Chair Brendan Carr claims he protects local news, but the fights he picks with broadcasters over the “public interest” requirement aren’t local stories. They’re national stories that upset President Trump. FPF's Seth Stern writes in @theintercept.com:
