Unbelievable ruling by the Virginia Supreme Court. Meanwhile, all the Republican states will almost certainly let their new maps stand.

Based on this Virginia ruling, the Tennessee and Florida maps should both also be shot down. If not, Virginia should just pull a Tennessee and change the rules to ram it though the legislature. 🤷‍♂️

“Trump’s grip on the Republican Party faces these challenges” Stop it. Trump could waddle naked across the South Lawn screaming about how Obama was spying on him from inside the White House microwave, and the GOP would clap like obedient seals.

There’s hope. Authoritarianism scholar @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social shares what history tells us about how authoritarians fall. She’s seeing the early signs now. Check it out on Substack, then consider subscribing: open.substack.com/pub/thefrank...

Here are the questions Raskin wants Patel to answer: tinyurl.com/528pdfs3

I honestly don’t know. He’ll be a lame duck, but that might make him try to do even more illegal shit via executive order. It will be better than our current situation, though.

The GOP could stop this tomorrow if they wanted to. Instead they’ll keep fiddling while Rome burns.

On the part of Trump’s advisors? Almost certainly. Trump actually thinks he’s winning, though. I hear the meeting today wasn’t great. Trump was pissed that they closed the Strait again.

I hope they stress about it every day. And then I hope they’re right so we can hold them all accountable.

Trump *hates* drinking, which is why some people were surprised he nominated Hegseth to begin with. He was pissed at Patel for drinking on camera, so this might very well be the last straw.

A note to ex pilots, SOF guys, etc: Maybe shut the fuck up about the intricacies of SERE training. It’s great that the WSO was able to escape and evade, but you don’t have to tell everyone how.

Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours. Gas prices skyrocketing. Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month. Another war in the Middle East. Are we great again yet?

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America. And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

Oof. Multiple THAAD radar systems have reportedly been destroyed by Iran. That’s bad. I’ve also seen some surprise that Russia is providing Iran with targeting data for US forces, but that was expected. We’ve been providing Ukraine with targeting data for 4 years. www.cnn.com/2026/03/05/m...

The stock market is tanking, gas prices are spiking, the DHS Secretary was just fired after lying under oath to Congress, prices keep going up, Trump refuses to refund tariffs despite a SCOTUS decision, and we are in another war in the Middle East. When does the winning start?

NEW: A conservative attorney said to be coordinating with the White House to push Donald Trump to take control of elections via executive order cited a bizarre 2020 conspiracy theory involving Michigan voting machines as the emergency that justifies the scheme.

WASHINGTON (AP) - House Republican leaders call for Texas Rep. Tony Gonzales to end reelection bid after he admitted to affair with aide.

Two weeks. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

BREAKING on MS NOW: The House Oversight Committee just voted to subpoena Pam Bondi as part of the panel's Epstein investigation. The vote was 24-19. 5 Republicans voted in favor.

Wowza! Democrats are fired up everywhere!

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is attempting to short-circuit state bar ethics investigations into department attorneys through a new and unexpected proposed rule. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Rep. Lofgren to Noem: You know there's an old adage that states there are no bad dogs, just bad owners. One of the questions we have is, are there bad agencies or just bad leadership?

Barron should go reopen the Straight of Hormuz.

Joe Neguse is just consistently better at this than anyone else, and it’s not really that close. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The Trump White House saves a MAGA adviser via private jet, but won’t save regular Americans stranded in the Middle East. I've got the latest on this outrageous maneuver to help a Trump consultant while the State Department scrambles to figure out a plan for others. youtu.be/rWvQDKRY-0Y?...

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for. Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

Madame Secretary for the win.

Jasmine is a class act.

I am back in D.C. to hear from cruel Kristi Noem on why she is complicit in the chaos happening at DHS, vote on a War Powers Resolution to rein Donald Trump in, and vote against a DHS funding bill that does nothing to address the reckless actions we’re seeing from ICE. The work continues.

NEW: The House Ethics Committee will investigate allegations that GOP Rep. Tony Gonzales had an affair with a former staff member who later died after setting herself on fire.

I'm not making this up. if you're an American stranded in the Middle East and you call the State Department help line, you get a recorded message pretty much telling you to go fuck yourself. thank you for your attention to my extremely angry post about it. link is here: bit.ly/409JSAA

I don’t think we’ve heard the last of Iran yet. They have an extensive succession plan, their military has standing strike orders in the case of decapitation strikes, etc. Now that they’ve announced the Supreme Leader’s death, I would expect a big retaliation, or at least an attempt at one.

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote. Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?

The files were largely still making their way through the court system when Biden was in office. It’s not clear to me that he *could* have released them. I think he certainly would have if he could, if for no other reason than Trump is mentioned about a million times.

He can’t. Old man yelling at cloud shit. If Congress doesn’t pass the SAVE act, there’s nothing Trump can do to force it down our throats unilaterally.

How would we even tell?

That’s my concern. They aren’t building all these detention centers just for immigrants, I fear. I don’t think that’s going to work out the way they want it to, though. As far as to what end, the cruelty is always the point with these people.

2A might be far enough away from Trump sharts to avoid the smell.

I’ve seen a LOT of the worst of humanity over the course of my career. Brutal torture videos, beheadings, immolations, etc. I usually compartmentalize that stuff pretty well. This is something else. I was actually nauseous reading some of these files.

From what they’re saying, it’s someone close to Trump getting caught communicating with a foreign intelligence operative. I don’t know what it was related to, but I’m deeply concerned that the NSA Director and Deputy Director were both fired around the time of the complaint.

That’s absolutely the intent, and I would encourage people to ignore every bit of that nonsense. I’ll crawl over broken glass to vote these idiots out of office, and I hope all of you will too. I worry that if ICE tries to prevent people from voting, we’ll be looking at actual violence.

If you haven't heard the next date yet. #NoKings3 ❌️👑3️⃣

Need to make this one the biggest one yet.

I’ve never seen a commercial destroy a company’s reputation before. Great work, Ring.

It probably ends with a massive stroke or a cardiac event. And yes, the good guys win.

"Who's city is it Chief? Bovino: "It's our fucking city." And that, in a nutshell, is the problem. It is not a democracy when men with guns and uniforms believe they have more control over a city than its residents.

Can Minnesota pay Tom Homan $50,000 to get ICE out?

The Dems (and Republican who care about DHS abuses) should demand as pat of the budget that DHS share with local authorities all the evidence it has about DHS officer shootings so they can investigate too. 1/2

Hi, what you saw in 2020 was states expanding access to mail in voting in response to the pandemic. Republicans found out what happens when they make it easier for people to vote, and now they’re doing everything they can to stop that. Hope that helps.
