Talarico has to run up the margins with Latinos and independents. But, presumably, Trump will have made life even worse for Texans before November. (I'm taking Paxton's depravity as a constant.)

MAGA loyalists raged against SCOTUS' ruling to maintain the 150-year-old birthright citizenship precedent. "Congress must act! THIS IS A BLOW TO THE FUTURE OF OUR REPUBLIC. The Supreme Court’s decision will harm America for DECADES to come," wrote Eric Daugherty of Right Line News.

The Trump admin limited OSHA’s ability to hold bosses accountable when they don’t protect workers from heat. 530 workers died from heat illness on the job in 2024. Now, much of the country is bracing for a dangerous heat wave this week. Workers deserve to be safe on the job.

New: House votes 189-235 against War Powers Resolution for Lebanon. The resolution, led by Rep. Tlaib, would have limited Trump's ability to get involved militarily in Lebanon. 22 Democrats joined 212 Republicans against. Big shift from vote a few weeks ago, which was 92-324.

Rep. Tom Kean finally speaks after months away from Congress for a previously unexplained absence: "I was given the diagnosis of depression ... the doctors recommended I remain in the hospital to address my illness"

You might disagree with Kavanaugh about the constitutionality of high school athlete genital inspections, but you can't deny he's always been very consistent in his support for nonconsensually groping teen girls.

NEW: DOD is probing the leak of information about an active intelligence officer involved with Peter Thiel's Dialog club. The officer is said to work for a special missions unit. The White House also claims details about another top intelligence official are restricted on national security grounds.

The District of Columbia has agreed to pay $50,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by a resident who accused police officers of illegally detaining him for following an Ohio National Guard patrol while playing Darth Vader’s theme song from “Star Wars” on his cellphone, according to a document.

"To illustrate the extent that we are now governed by a blustering humbug, you might want to go on to cite Saturday evening’s Truth Social proclamation from the great and powerful Donald J. Trump."

Trump-backed candidates have won roughly 98 percent of their primaries so far, according to Ballotpedia.

When US health officials meet next month to reconsider a list of controversial peptide drugs, they will hear from a new set of voices: doctors and pharmacists with deep financial ties to the burgeoning industry of unproven chemicals.

Warren: So we’ve got all these ways to lower the cost of housing. And Donald Trump just doesn’t care. And he openly says so. The guy who ran for president saying, “I will lower costs on day one.” Remember that? He ran for a year saying, “I will lower costs on day one.”

I don't give a shit about football, but I just heard my favourite stat about this World Cup. Every single country taking part has universal healthcare... Except one. Can you guess ?

Here's a bit of good news for privacy rights. We need more good news. SCOTUS got it wrong on several decisions, but not in Chatrie v. United States where they ruled that individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy in their cell phone location history, & police must get a warrant for it.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is pointing to a busy retirement next year. She and the University of California, Berkeley, are partnering to form a new nonpartisan academic institute they say will be dedicated to strengthening democracy. abc7.com/post/uc-berk...

We need a real independent process to remove a president who can’t do the job — Raskin’s bill creates exactly that. Tell Congress to pass it.

🤡's corruption rolls right along. Feb 10, 🤡 bought shares in Axon valued between $1M & $5M. 2 weeks later, ICE causes the company's shares to ⬆️ But nothing to see here. WH: "[🤡] only acts in the best interests of the American public.” -- Where's the falling down laughing emoji when you need it???

The Supreme Court has been shielding power instead of the people under Roberts. Congress holds the power to change that through impeachment — use it.

Why is Clarence Thomas secretly meeting with Speaker Johnson during the Supreme Court term⁉️

US District Judge Cathy Bissoon didn't blink. When the DOJ demanded the private data and Social Security numbers of millions of PA voters, she completely threw the lawsuit out of court. Read the raw legal receipts here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/one-by-one...

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican. It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong. Millions are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up. The sleeping giant of America is roaring. ~ Robert Reich
