We do not have voting rights in this country anymore. We just don’t. We did for a while because Congress codified them pursuant to a constitutional amendment enacted by the people in a great repudiation of the original sin of slavery. But the Supreme Court has nullified that law and that amendment.

If I was really trying to “ruin” 60 Minutes would I be saying I’d fire you unless you write a letter apologizing for repeating a list of my evil plans?

Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.

Why I got out of the gambling business:

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

lol they spot you six points if you know the date and where you are at that moment

we have an elite impunity problem (globally, but the US is certainly no exception) and nothing will get better until we deal with this

i don’t need therapy. i need the president in jail

The podcast bros said they were supporting Trump for two reasons: He wouldn’t start any wars, and he’d release the Epstein files. Massie lost tonight for two reasons: (a) forcing the release of the Epstein files, and (b) trying to restrain Trump’s war in Iran.

they have rigged the judiciary and the only way to unrig it is abolishing the filibuster. period. end of story. no Democratic president, no matter how cautious or moderate, will be allowed to do Good Things. this must change or every Dem presidency is failed before it begins.

the president is raiding the treasury to put your tax dollars into this mans personal checking account as a reward for what hes doing in this picture

As a guy with half a trillion dollars, I have lots of options: 1. Enjoy a 100% stress-free life doing whatever I please in unfathomable luxury all over the world with people of my choosing 2. Have 87 meltdowns a day on a website

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

EPIC #ArtWork. The New American Gothic, 2017, by Criselda Vasquez Just… amazing. ❤️

it’s awesome that bezos has turned the wapo into reason magazine with cte

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

So id assume the black folks in America will stop paying taxes now that they no longer will have representation ?

where is john roberts to tell us that this is just one of those apolitical, unpopular decisions the court has to make sometimes?

Happy Mother's Day

Fucking haaaaaaaaaaate it

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

Trump threatened to nuke Iran during the same press event where he called a woman reporter "baby" and a "bitch" and we'll all just supposed to continue on tomorrow as though any of this insanity is normal or acceptable

Setting aside the moral atrocity being committed here: they're burning all of this political capital for one (1) additional Republican seat

Hell yeah

The aim of the war is no longer regime change. The aim of the war is now to convince people this wasn't a mistake in the first place.

The purpose of "good government" policies is to promote democracy. Now, when the Reconstruction Amendments are being perverted by a GOP packed Supreme Court to give license to racism in legislative districting, the good government move is for Democrats to counter-gerrymander, aggressively, and fast

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

total wealth of all American billionaires is estimated around $7-8 trillion. total federal spending in FY2025 was $7 trillion. the only way to pay for the government we want is a broad-based system of progressive taxation. that's it. there is no alternative. there is no magic Scrooge money pit.

you do not tax billionaires to fund universal healthcare. you, yes you the person reading this, and everyone you know, pay more in taxes to fund universal healthcare. you tax billionaires to take away a gun that Elon Musk is pointing at your head.

"The legalization of mobile sports gambling in America was a policy mistake and that the evidence is now clear enough to say so."

The 1st Amendment wasn't written so we'd feel free wishing each other a happy birthday. It was written so we'd feel free saying sharp and difficult things, such as stating plainly that the president of the United States is a convicted felon who is trying to destroy American democracy.

May I ask… what is wrong with my colleagues? I should be able to vote and have it counted fairly and accurately. If you can’t defend that basic idea, you should quit your job.

Any event which occurs automatically bolsters my longtime worldview.

Last night’s gunfire at the White House Correspondents Dinner is a scathing indictment of those who disagree with any number of my political opinions.

Somebody you've compelled to fork over millions of dollars in a show of abject servile bootlicking and obvious corruption is somebody who can never credibly oppose you. That's what it's about.

Re. the White House Correspondents Dinner:

we should also be immediately cautious of any framing that—implicitly or explicitly—frames liberals as having sole responsibility to ensure good outcomes

It's not great that our enemies know that all it takes to undermine United States national security is getting Republicans elected.

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

REDISTRICT EVERYTHING ESCALATE TO DE-ESCALATE GERRYMANDER EVERY SINGLE STATE IMMEDIATELY CREATE A DELICATE BALANCE OF TERROR NOW RESTORE DETTERENCE

yeah it is critical that dems win the senate

the year 2026 making me side with the Pope and TMZ

This is dictator shit

Well this is terrible

The massive Orban defeat should prompt Dems to align themselves more firmly with anti-fascist and pro-democracy forces abroad. There's a powerful link to be drawn between the celebrations in Budapest and the confrontations with ICE in Minneapolis. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2090...
