Tony Carruthers Receives 1-Year Stay After 'Outright Barbaric' Botched Execution in Tennessee

BREAKING: Federal courts have dismissed the DOJ's attempts to force Maine and Wisconsin to turn over their voters' sensitive data. The Trump administration is now 0-for-8 in their attempts to force states to hand over voter data and subvert our elections.

Californians, if you’re hitting the road this holiday weekend, be sure to AVOID Chevron. Pro tip: unbranded gas comes from the same refineries, storage tanks, and pipelines, and it meets the same state standards to keep your engine running clean, even if it doesn’t have a fancy name like ‘Techron.’

Jeffrey Epstein abused and took advantage of numerous young women and girls, while those in positions of power looked the other way. @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social and Oversight Dems will get justice for survivors and end the cover-up.

Big court win against Trump for @freedom.press and @citizensforethics.org. A federal judge halted the White House effort to evade the Presidential Records Act — no president gets to claim America’s story belongs to them alone. Watch @laurenleharper.bsky.social explain. freedom.press/secrecy

I’ve covered Chicago’s federal courthouse for 11 years and have never seen a hearing like this one.

Just submitted my comment. today is the last day to comment. my existence is not offensive, provocative, or sexually explicit. go tell them that my existence does not need a warning label, nor does my depiction in media.

There is nothing more American than freedom of speech.

Katalin Karikó is one of the most extraordinary scientific stories of this era. A girl from a modest Hungarian household helped develop technology that saved millions of lives worldwide. In 2023, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for discoveries that enabled effective mRNA vaccines.

Actions by the Trump admin like forcing the J.H. Campbell coal plant in Western Michigan to remain open, are making energy bills even more expensive for working families. Stay tuned for what UCS and partners are doing about it:

Celebrate tonight and boycott, CBS❌ and Paramount❌ tomorrow!

Tonight we congratulate our friend Stephen Colbert and his writers, staff and crew for eleven years of excellence. Watch Colbert’s finale tonight, and then never watch CBS again.

78 firefighters — including Chumash tribal firefighters — are battling California's largest wildfire of the year on Santa Rosa Island, home to species found nowhere else on Earth.

Every time a white person disengages from another white person, the regime gets stronger. I just published an essay about it. A defection map for the fight we're already in. White folks especially: read it, holler back, share it. medium.com/@ashleewooda...

Yes. Finally.

Cosigning this! When we unionize and win better pay, benefits, and working conditions, that’s the union difference! Across the globe, working people are demanding their unions to create better for themselves, their families, and future generations. #UnionsForAll

Here is what Democracy Docket is tracking today: Active Voting Rights Cases: 161 Active Redistricting Cases: 44 Active Anti-Voting Cases: 80 Active Pro-Voting Cases: 77 Active DOJ Lawsuits: 29 www.democracydocket.com

"This study is a wake-up call for parents everywhere, who trust these brands to put their kids first," a Greenpeace campaigner said of research that found microplastics and related chemicals in baby food sold in pouches.

Why have the Dems never tried to outlaw ALL gerrymandering? Voters should pick their representatives, representatives should not be allowed to pick their voters.

@nunesalt.bsky.social did Devin get a new job?

The Trump Administration’s new student loan caps could lead to fewer nurses and physicians’ assistants. Healthcare worker shortages in rural and underserved areas are already bad enough, so more Americans will suffer more under this cruel policy. But I hear the ballroom is coming along nicely. 😒

The American people are rising up against the GOP’s racist power grabs.

UCS’s @kevshen.bsky.social breaks down the recently unveiled BUILD America 250 Act: "People would be trapped in our current expensive, car-oriented system while giving away billions to the highway lobby for new highways without strong protections to ensure current infrastructure doesn’t crumble."

‘Open, Shameless Grift’: Right Before FDA Ruling on Vapes, Big Tobacco Company Gave $5 Million to a Trump Super PAC "In the Trump administration, money beats MAHA every time."

Trump's Justice Department is very online. And it loves conspiracy theories.

Chief Justice John Roberts has made it his life's work to dismantle the Voting Rights Act. He succeeded. We need Supreme Court reform and a national ban on gerrymandering.

BIG win for Freedom of the Press Foundation and @citizensforethics.org: Trump’s White House must comply with Presidential Records Act, judge rules

Despite unfounded allegations to the contrary, Cuba poses no threat to the United States. And the United States has absolutely no right—zero—to interfere in Cuba’s internal affairs.

NEW on “Paper Trail”: Two @ctmirror.org reporters kept hearing about drivers having their cars towed and then sold — sometimes, in just 15 days. So they teamed up with ProPublica to find out: How was this legal? Who was profiting off of it? 🎧 Listen and subscribe:

Congress and the White House must secure postal finances by ending their damaging restrictions on USPS finances. The mail must flow! #USmailNotForSale #USPS usmailnotforsale.org/news-article...

The clock is ticking on Postal Finances. Our members of Congress need to hear from us.

“The Take It Down Act gives the powerful a dangerous new route to manipulate platforms into removing lawful speech that they simply don’t like,” EFF’s irmck.bsky.social told @Gizmodo.com. gizmodo.com/ftcs-strict...

American taxpayers should not be forced to bankroll political favors for Trump's allies. This is corruption hiding behind the language of "justice."
