Gosh, just think about how much money they could make if they stopped paying for ALL healthcare for their customers. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/05/15/b...

Pay attention people. We've got quite the backlog of legal cases that will need to be brought once Republicans have been voted out of office. cmarmitage.substack.com/p/the-500-mi...

SCOTUS, which ordered Alabama to create a second Black opportunity district just 3 years ago, has lifted that order a week before the primary. The Purcell principle says courts shouldn't permit chaos too close to an election—it's now an open question whether there will even be a primary on schedule.

This seems like a good idea. Why aren't more states doing it? cmarmitage.substack.com/p/we-could-e...

Well, cool! If obeying court rulings is optional, I guess we're all set in Virginia. cmarmitage.substack.com/p/the-courts...

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has allowed Alabama to select a different map for this year’s congressional elections in a stunning, last-minute move to interfere with another state primary election that has already begun. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"So what needs to happen now - and it needs to happen now - is that Democrat-led states need to set aside procedure and redraw the maps. New York, New Jersey, Washington, Oregon, Illinois, Maryland, and Colorado need to get it done. Do it in 2026 if possible. By 2028 is non-negotiable."

@marcelias.bsky.social Would this work? Is there anything stopping VA from doing this ASAP? www.the-downballot.com/p/how-virgin...

So, in reality, ICE is actually making sure violent criminals - "the worst of the worst" - actually go free, while they unlawfully imprison or deport people who have contributed to their communities, paid taxes, and done nothing wrong. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/05/08/m...

Republicans are using every tactic they can to try to steal this election. www.democracynow.org/2026/5/8/tru...

Tell me oil companies aren't using Trump's moronic war as an excuse to gouge consumers.... www.nytimes.com/2026/05/07/b...

“Not since Vietnam have we seen a more systematic effort by an administration to lie about the nature, costs, consequences, and results of a war than we have seen from the White House on Iran.” heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/may-6-2026

The Trump administration will go down in history as the most corrupt administration ever. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/grand-thef...

It's starting to look a lot like a Weekend at Bernie's.

Imagine that. The lawless criminal and pathological liar was lying.

Next time any Republican talks about voter fraud, shove this in their face. In those rare cases where there actually is voter fraud, it's almost always done by Republicans to support Republicans. Trump's effort to conceal this case should end his presidency. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Idiot. Just a complete idiot.

Alarming state of affairs. In past 3 months, Trump has: 1. Closed FBI Foreign Influence Task Force 2. Closed State Dept Global Misinformation office 3. Ordered CISA to no longer address misinfo 4. Redirected Cyber Command away from Russian disinfo 5. Fired NSA Director 6. Sacked 6 NSC officials

"If you give the rich tax breaks, they'll lower prices for everyone else." No, they won't. Want proof? Every single MLB team owner is in the richest 0.1% and receives hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax breaks every year. And it now costs an average $225 to attend a game.

Reminder that Florida voters passed a Constitutional amendment in 2010 banning gerrymandering with 62% of the vote and the Florida GOP just stole the courts and ignored it. By contrast retaliatory gerrymanders in CA and VA passed with the approval of voters. Yet media portrays them as equivalent.

In the category of "war's silver lining" there's this.... paulkrugman.substack.com/p/trump-is-l...

Trump has always been about screwing the little guy and lining the pockets of the rich. The pattern continues. www.contrariannews.org/p/trumps-166...

Trump sucks and everyone knows it. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Just watched "Democracy Under Siege," the new documentary from @lauranix.bsky.social. Definitely the most important documentary I've seen this year. Should be required viewing for every high school student (and every eligible voter) in America. www.democracyundersiegedoc.org

Reporter: NEW ABC/WaPo/Ipsos: Trump’s disapproval hits 62%, the highest of either term. He’s underwater on every issue tested, 2/3 say the country is on the wrong track, and GOP voters who strongly approve are down to 45%, the lowest across both terms.

Mid-term elections in the U.S. are exactly six months from today. If Democrats do not regain control of Congress, it is game-over for American democracy. Please check your voter registration (www.vote.org/am-i-registe...) and be sure to cast your ballot (ideally in person) on Nov. 4th!

"The family made national headlines after being taken by ICE during a routine immigration appointment. The family was detained in Dilley TX, while the oldest son, Antonio, was held in Raymondville. "The family and Antonio were later released and reunited..." www.valleycentral.com/news/local-n...

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.

In 2024, 89 million eligible voters chose not to vote. If just 229,726 of those non-participants in MI, PA, and WI had shown up and voted for Harris, we wouldn't be in our current mess. We must all make it our mission in November not just to vote ourselves, but to get everyone we know to vote too.

TODAY IS THE DAY!

We the people need to rise up and put a stop to this before Republicans steal another election.

Lets be clear. This is about stealing an election, this time, with SCOTUS on their side. House Speaker says, “you’ve got to keep the grown ups in charge.” GOP doesnt care what the voters want. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Evidence that James Comey’s absurd seashells indictment is selective and vindictive:

Hillary was right about everything.

NEW: Katie Phang is suing DOJ over alleged “brazen” violations of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. She says DOJ missed deadlines, over-redacted, and withheld records tied to Jeffrey Epstein—including references to Trump. The suit seeks full disclosure and a special master to oversee compliance.

A Supreme Court so fundamentally hostile to the rights of minority voters places the Court at odds with democracy itself. This is the legacy of Chief Justice John Roberts. I opposed his nomination back in 2005, and I stand by that.

The DOJ violates the Epstein Files Transparency Act on the daily. So I'm suing Todd Blanche. As a journalist, I cannot report accurately on the Epstein Files if I cannot even read them. I am represented by @brendanballou.bsky.social & we seek to hold the DOJ accountable for its noncompliance.

Big news out of Maine. Let's hope Platner doesn't turn out to be the next Fetterman.

Trump and his thugs are now stripping and jailing American scientists whose only crime was doing research to keep people safe from infectious disease. We must end this by electing Democrats by overwhelming margins in November. www.science.org/content/arti...

The indefensible second Comey indictment is obviously evidence of a weaponized and corrupted Justice Department. But it’s also one of many unsubtle steps Todd Blanche has taken lately to delight Trump and try to nail down an AG nomination. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
