If his job was to represent the rest of South Carolina, he would be Senator Clyburn.

“We went through this referendum to try to protect American democracy,” Surovell said, but he failed to add the obvious and indisputable next part of that sentence which is: 'but we failed because our success among voters was thrown out by partisan Republican judges operating in bad faith.'

What a difference two years can make.

“It’s been somewhat disorganized. There was not a lot of great communication in terms of letting people know what was going on,” said one Kansas City World Cup volunteer.

I was really not worried about the hantavirus until this administration started saying more and more forcefully everything is fine

oh my god

Slightly increase a band: Ten for Misconduct

Me at my desk this morning lol

Trump is about to hit REM sleep on camera in the Oval

ngl this would be the funniest possible signal that It Happened

They buried the lede. *One of the Americans en route home has tested positive for the Andes Hantavirus* Fortunately, the receiving facility is equipped to handle this. But whoever wrote that someone tested “mildly positive” is an idiot. They are PCR positive. They have it.

one extremely funny thing is that 2/3 of these people are right-wing ethnonationalists who are broadly imagined to be left-wing because of the country they are right-wing nationalists for (Palestine, Palestine, Palestine, Iran.)

I’m not convinced there’s a serious “platform MTG” movement outside the sewer that is the supposed “left” that’s still cooking their brains on twitter but basically the last thing she did before leaving congress was try to ban gender-affirming care for all minors so fuck them very much

192 murders.

How to Be a Real Man, 2026 GOP Edition: -Drink whiskey, smoke cigars, make sure it's on camera -Claim you'd kill for your kids, but barely parent -Say you could beat up a bear -Say an out-of-shape 80-year-old can beat you up -Express pants-wetting fear of cities -Be an asshole to women -Whine a lot

I also want to point out that if, to you (not you you, generalized you) MTG has better “vibes” than Liz Cheney or even AOC, your brain has been cooked.

Susan Abulhawa shares Marjorie Taylor Greene's hatred of trans people, so they have more in common than just anti-Zionism.

Remember this brave Ukrainian lady? After a year apart, 77-year-old Antonina Khorunzha - evacuated by Ukrainian Defenders from a shell-shattered road in the Lyman direction using a ground robotic system - has finally reunited with her granddaughter.

The Great Replacement already happened and that’s why an Italian-American is trying to run the Klan

🇺🇦 For the first time in almost three years, the initiative in the war appears to have shifted to Ukraine, — The Economist Ukraine is now turning the tide and inflicting increasing damage on Russia on virtually every front;

Whenever racists go off about how Sharia Law is taking over I'm like, fun fact: the Church of England has courts that have the same legal standing as Crown Courts - and so as the only person in this conversation who's actually been taken to a religious court... I'm telling you to shut up.

I love how every quote in this article is "We can afford to pay this and will not change our behaviour at all in response, but it's still basically Bolshevism."

"Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you." ~ Baseball legend Satchel Paige #MLB #Motivation #Wisdom

This!

It is wrong and criminal for government agents to kidnap someone, send them to die in a concentration camp, and disappear them, regardless of immigration status. But it's still worth noting she has a green card. The government doesn't even pretend this is about deporting undocumented people.

NEW: ChatGPT advised the FSU shooter that a mass shooting would get more attention from media if it involved several children, according to a new lawsuit against OpenAI www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

You may have heard us favorably discuss The Athletic in the old days. It was like the better parts of the old Sports Illustrated and Sporting News. Now, like the rest of the Times, it is no better than USA Today.

Hungary’s parliament sings “Ode to Joy” — the anthem of Europe — after Péter Magyar is sworn in as prime minister. Hungary is once again a proud member of the European Union.

While you can’t afford a trip for your family this summer, you just paid for Sean Duffy’s 7-month road trip at $4.55 per gallon of gas.

“In the midst of a hantavirus outbreak that involves Americans … the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been uncharacteristically missing in action, according to a number of experts.”

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito leaned on an erroneous claim that Black voter turnout now tops white voter turnout, in his Callais v. Louisiana ruling that gutted the Voting Rights Act, reports The Guardian. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Thinking about this part... "Before the second recess, all four of Louisiana’s Black congressmen, past and present, since the Reconstruction era spoke to the committee..."

this is the closest I've ever come to actually suggesting a "one neat trick" suggestion for anything, but I'm so serious here. the Virginia Constitution gives the legislature the power to set retirement ages for judges "REGARDLESS OF THE TERM TO WHICH ELECTED OR APPOINTED." make it 54 right now.

This is actually crazy

It’s very important to note (because the people this will affect are already prone to anxiety!) per the article the FDA has no authority whatsoever to do this and in fact drug companies can simply refuse to comply - and have done so with other drugs as recently as last month.

Yah i am parkoor axpert ,waht of it?

This is literally the logic of Taney, who thought he could use the law to defeat abolitionism

"shaking their vaginas at the ground like maracas" is just such a...rich text of racism and misogyny and a secret third thing [failing the 6th grade health class anatomy unit?]

idk what's funnier here, "He portrayed himself as Jesus he talked about girls pee, pees. " Or saying "I never saw my future like this." *repeatedly* Or the fact he's from Texas

🔥 @theatlantic.com‘s @adamserwer.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social on this @thebulwark.com pod on redistricting. "While partisan gerrymandering is A-OK w/Alito & co., it apparently is not alright for D voters in Virginia to do anything like that to Rs." 📺 www.thebulwark.com/p/adam-serwe...

I genuinely think that MAGA would rather dominate pop culture than the federal government. A lot of their incoherent anger is driven by the fact that they control what is basically a consolation prize for them.

It’s telling that Alabama took 14 years to implement Brown (you MUST desegregate) and < 14 days to implement Callais (you CAN eliminate Black districts if you call them Democratic, but you don’t HAVE to).
