Perfect campaign ad for the upcoming Midterms. 👌

What has me worried — what we all need to focus on — is that something important in our democracy broke last week, and we are only beginning to see the fallout. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

I’m shocked shocked U.S. Intelligence Shows Iran Retains Substantial Missile Capabilities www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/u...

Bye bitch

This is beyond outrageous. Settling a $10B lawsuit with the government you control using taxpayer money. One of the settlement terms under review requires the IRS to drop any audits of Trump, his family members and businesses. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/b...

Republicans refused to show up today for the #Epstein survivors testimony. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett explains this shouldn’t be a partisan issue. She’s right. Shameful.

After many failed attempts to subpoena trans kids' private health records, DOJ is now trying to get them via criminal grand jury in Texas. "This is mafia-type behavior," Shannon Minter tells @hurwitz.bsky.social. This will be a new test of blue-state shield laws. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Democrats can save a ton of money firing all their political ad teams and just showing Trump clips.

We have a democratic crisis. That can’t be solved by Democrats winning every election. They can’t—and it wouldn’t really be a democracy if they did. trib.al/n5rwXS9

JEN KIGGANS — ELECTION DENIER She may not wear the red hat every day, but she knows exactly which MAGA lies to flirt with when she needs the base. REPORTER: Do you believe that President Biden was fairly elected? KIGGANS: laughs nervously #JimCrowJen

NEW AD ALERT: I took on RFK Jr., and won. After the deadly measles outbreak at Disneyland, I passed laws to protect children at school from measles. Now Trump and RFK Jr. are attacking science again. I’m running to stop them. #DrPanforCongress #CA06

“…the forces that stand today against …political representation for Black people won’t stop there…They seek a one party political system ruled by authoritarians. The political oppression of Black people is not the end. It is the conduit.”

A particularly chilling detail: This site includes a guide to “conscience protections” for parents who want to refuse medical treatments for themselves or their children That comes as more newborns are bleeding to death because their parents refuse a vitamin K shot at birth @autonomynews.co

Sam Alito has personally taken a flamethrower to legal precedent resulting in states forcing people to give birth against their will, disenfranchising Black voters, and many other evils and he’s upset that people think he’s a villain

@crockett.house.gov: "For me, this is obstruction of justice. That's what it is."

Stated or not, the whole point of the constitution mandating regular elections is to keep officials accountable to the public. It's a joke that SCOTUS doesn't find partisan gerrymandering (protecting unpopular officials from the loss of power) to be an egregious constitutional subversion.

This month, the Department of Housing and Urban Development introduced a proposed rule that requires federally funded shelters to house prospective tenants based on their birth sex alone. https://bit.ly/4wpLdC4

“The Supreme Court’s decision will mean the greatest loss of Black representatives since the end of Reconstruction.”

Trump is good for their numbers. Just like transphobia.

A few Dem Senators are (still!!) occasionally voting yes on Trump's nominees for lifetime federal judge positions in the name of their "qualifications" but these people are not qualified! securing a nomination from Donald Trump is disqualifying in and of itself! ballsandstrikes.org/nominations/...

If you report the truth about the Iran war, Trump is coming for you: "He delivered the message on a sticky note — the word “Treason” in Sharpie — placed atop a stack of printed articles he handed to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche in a White House meeting, the officials said."

Major breaking news tonight. NYU Langone has received a federal criminal subpoena over its provision of trans youth care. The subpoena originates from a grand jury empaneled in the Northern District of Texas. It's a massive escalation in attacks on trans poviders. Read our breaking story:

Gonna keep saying it. SCOTUS is just a partisan legislative branch that never stands for reelection.

Katy Faust is explicit about wanting to end IVF, surrogacy and no fault divorce.

The three democratic justices on the court need to drop the legalistic critiques in their dissents & openly call out SCOTUS Republicans as partisan supremacist hacks. And everyone else must do the same.

There is really no sense in which it’s accurate to call the radical SCOTUS majority “conservative” justices. Call them what they are: the Republican justices.

In a stunning win for Republican fascists and gift to the most corrupt president in American history, the white supremacist wing of the Supreme Court is allowing Alabama to eliminate one of two predominately Black congressional districts before this year's midterm elections.

This is absolutely outrageous. SCOTUS reinstated Texas gerrymander 15 weeks before primary because they claimed it was too close to election to block it but now allowing Alabama to gerrymander one week before primary after trial court found map was intentionally discriminatory against Black voters

This is dead on. If the Democrats retake the House and Senate--or even just the House--it could mark the beginning of the end of a 50-year Republican project. If they can't? The GOP will spend the next 2 years destroying all remaining guardrails. Most important midterms of our lives, no question.

They are playing for all the marbles. This is their last chance to create the Confederacy. They'll burn it all down.

“I’m a quick study so I learned everything there is to learn in three or four minutes.”

My prediction for whatever it's worth. the Trump administration does NOT want abortion restrictions before the midterms and the Fifth Circuit court of Appeals hasn't even heard arguments in this case yet. Opportunity for court to cynically paint itself as "reasonable" while keeping the threat alive

The foundation of our democracy is burning to the ground. It did not begin with Trump, but he stoked the flames. The conservative Roberts Court did not light the match, but it has repeatedly declared fire hydrants, sprinklers and smoke detectors illegal. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

In less than a decade, the Social Security trust fund will run out. The later Congress comes up with a solution for Social Security funding, the more expensive it will become to solve. #DrPanForCongress

There’s only one thing that will turn this country around… One. Turning up at the polls and making the Democratic voter turnout TOO BIG TO RIG. Just like in Hungary. Let’s. Do. This. 😎✨

Masked federal agents tear gassing & pepper spraying children is a feature, not a bug, of Trump's America. Devastating @propublica.org report about the harm ICE has inflicted on kids. Sickening stuff. You can't reform an agency this evil or violent, you must abolish it.

JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person in the Scottish parliament. Absolutely incredible.

The Trump regime has released their 2026 counter-terrorism strategy, declaring their focus will be on "identifying and neutralizing pro-transgender groups", comparing them (us) to cartels and Islamic terrorists, in order to "defend the homeland".

It'd be the same 6 dildos on the Supreme Court destroying our rights so can we PUH-LEASE stop this shit.

Also, I'm not sure it fuckin matters whether Black voters now participate in elections at the same rate as the rest of the electorate. What matters is whether there's an entire neo-confederate apparatus eagerly awaiting any opportunity to dilute or eliminate their voting power, and yes, there is.

If Black votes didn't matter, they wouldn't be working this hard to steal them. You don't spend millions of dollars and pass dozens of restrictive laws to stop something that "doesn't matter."

Last month in Virginia, the people made their voices heard at the ballot box and voted for new Congressional maps. Today, the Virginia Supreme Court ignored the will of the people and overturned those democratically chosen maps.

Excited to see @xavierbecerra.bsky.social's Come-to-Jesus on housing at the Terner Center event right now. Let's see how well his new housing team prepped him in the 24 hours since last night's debate.

Corrupt

Disgusting. Foul as the Calláis decision is, SCOTUS took great pains to distinguish Milligan from its decision in Calláis. Alabama just can’t stand to see the rest of the Confederacy having fun without it.

The First Amendment is clear: The federal government can't punish media organizations just because it doesn't like what they have to say. By fighting back, ABC is sending an important message: Our rights are worth fighting for.

My entire lifetime has seen Republicans benefit from every structural bias in the system: two republican presidents elected while losing the popular vote,the senate being biased towards small rural conservative states,house and state legislatures being heavily gerrymandered, and a captured SCOTUS.

Yesterday, Trump pointed at Rachel Scott of ABC News and said "she's a bitch" after Ms. Scott asked him about rising gas prices. It will be old news by close of business today. Once again: Trump is held to a different standard by legacy media.
