Absolutely shameful from Rep. Kiggans. They aren't even trying to hide it anymore. Trump’s MAGA movement is fueled by racism, fixated on denigrating Black leaders, and focused on attacking Black voting rights. We see it and we won’t back down. www.mediaite.com/politics/hou...

Indeed this fellow has filed a defamation suit against Google. It is important to note that the suit has been filed in Ontario, Canada, and not in the United States. I suspect he has a rather better chance up north than he would here. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/m...

Don't blame "Dems" - since Platner has no political record or past policy stance other than a bunch of Reddit posts, what he's saying now is coming from the DSA operatives who scouted him - and did so with the explicit stated goal of undermining the Dem party.

The U.S. Supreme Court is conducting a coup d'etat. It is at war with the very premise of an electoral democracy. Nothing about that institution or its work is legitimate. Nothing.

NEW: NAACP on Supreme Court allowing Alabama to redraw map to dilute power of Black voters "We are witnessing a return to Jim Crow. Anybody who is alarmed by these developments—as everybody should be—better be making a plan to vote in November to put an end to this madness"

Man, this is such a nihilistic take. Forget Lord of the Rings. My kids have watched The Wizard of Oz. The Godfather. Planet of the Apes. TONS of classics that are quite a bit older than 30 years, and they’ve enjoyed and appreciated them all.

One reason FDR's court-packing plan failed to catch on is that the Supreme Court was perceived by many Americans as apolitical and therefore a victim of unwarranted aggression from the president. This court, however, is nakedly partisan. And any Democrat in power should be saying so early and often

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

one thing that’s got to be of critical importance to the DSCC is getting control of the senate to ensure trump can’t fill alito or thomas’ seats if they croak in the next two years

Removing the gas tax doesn't target fossil fuel companies. If anything, it helps them by making it more likely consumers buy gas.

The US or any other country that ends gasoline and diesel taxes won’t make much of a dent in the war-caused economic disruption, but will lose revenue and incentivize more fossil fuel use, then find it politically very difficult to reinstate those taxes after the Iran war and associated damage end.

GOP Rep. Jen Kiggans says she agrees that Hakeem Jeffries has “cotton-picking hands” “Get your cotton-picking hands off of Virginia.”

I really appreciate folks like Charles picking up this line of questioning, because I think it's important to highlight just how willing progressives are to compromise on things that, just months or years prior, they considered so important that it was worth letting GOP win over imperfect Dems.

Thankfully, Democrats put together the rules for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program so rock solid, for which alt-leftists like Ezra Klein attacked us over during the 2024 election that Democrats' lawsuit to block Republicans from axing NEVI were successful and plenty of EV chargers

Genuinely funny that the faction that complains about the manufactured inauthenticity of the “Establishment,” and by “Establishment” meaning anyone who doesn’t code to their faction’s desired aesthetics and agree 100% (99% not allowed!), created a manufactured, inauthentic candidate.

Auburn Hills and surrounding areas - please continue to follow all local advisories and updates from officials as crews work around the clock to address the water main break.

The plan does not address the scenario where, with the gas/diesel tax gone, fossil fuel companies simply raise wholesale prices to absorb the savings before they reach consumers at the pump. Bad policy machine go brrrrrr

This is a bad idea that will also be ineffective in lowering costs.

It will put us further behind in fixing crumbling infrastructure, and it won't do anything to make gas cheaper, but

This is the kind of thing I worry about with politicians like Platner, not the hyperbolic freakouts about him being Fetterman 2.0 or secret Hitler or whatever. Just the run of the mill bad policy you can get from eclectic left candidates without a strong grounding in organization and ideology.

It really feels like progressives are willing to accept anything Platner does *because* he's a white man with a Nazi tattoo.

Let’s see.. —supports subsidizing the fossil fuel industry —opposes an assault rifle ban What core value will progressives throw under the bus next?

Judging by the merits of his proposal, Graham Platner is helping Big Oil commit climate arson. America's gas and diesel taxes are already an order of magnitude smaller than every single developed country not named Russia or Canada. That's why there is no urgency in this country to decarbonize!
