A Slam Dunk for Newsom….

Over at “One First,” I wrote about how the redistricting chaos we’re seeing in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Virginia is something #SCOTUS *chose,* and how it belies both the entire purpose of the “Purcell principle” and the Court’s claim that it’s staying out of the political process:

“Some inmates who served with Ghislaine Maxwell say they were punished by prison staff for talking about her alleged special treatment. One woman says after speaking to a reporter, she was punished.” Totally normal and not suspicious at all.

russia: “We are fighting nazism” Also russia: invades neighbors kidnaps children destroys cities jails dissidents worships one leader uses propaganda 24/7 Sounds familiar for a reason.

What an absolute steaming turd.

ABC Accuses Government of Violating First Amendment www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/b...

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.

I could not have said it better!!!❤️💯

This amazing image really captures the Tennessee fight and it's all over the internet. I am reposting it to encourage people to credit photographer Nicole Hester and the Tennessean.

I stand with Mark Hamill. These weenies who do nothing but shit post 24/7 are upset? Grow some balls back you sick freaks. You all know you're waiting too. 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻 White House rages at 'sick' Hollywood icon over social media post www.rawstory.com/mark-hamill-...

Ah, yes. Let's remove all of our change-makers and then complain about other countries having an edge over us. That's like Jim Farley whining about not wanting Chinese EV's to ever come to the U.S. market because, "We just can't compete." Code for: We don't want to invest in innovation.

Freak Show And Former Junky, RFKJR Is A Vaccine Alarmist,And Incompetent HHS Secretary.......

I see Roberts was whining about the people's "perception" of SCOTUS. If you don't want people to think you're a right-wing extremist and partisan hack, don't act like one. www.truthdig.com/articles/the...

As in any business, one way to grow the audience is when your competition screws up. That's exactly what's happening at ABC's World News Tonight. It's added nearly 1-million viewers so far this year thanks in part to Bari Weiss' mistakes at CBS. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...

Just realizing that Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade's plot hinges on the idea that an amoral American businessman would be so obsessed with seeking immortality he'd easily conspire with Nazis and... well, good call there, film.

Actually I don't find it funny at all. We've wasted $72 billion, seriously made life harder and more expensive for those in our country that can least afford it. It's a debacle that infuriates me.

New York Yankees x Detroit Tigers x Everton = Fuck Trump

Meanwhile the California grid now boasts the equivalent of 12 nuclear power plants worth of batteries -- the total cost of which was, I suspect, less than a single nuclear plant.

Oooooh, how I miss this man.

California is the birthplace of the film industry and we have to stay competitive to keep it here. I will protect and expand the film tax credit to bring jobs back to Hollywood.

OBAMA: A good policy that I'd like to see followed is that the president shouldn't have a bunch of side hustles that companies and foreign entities can invest in COLBERT: How much of that is just jealousy that you didn't think of selling sneakers?

If Trump was actually the problem we’d be in great shape.. The problem is WAAAAAAAAAAY bigger than him.

apple.news/AaElXnwfoSiW... Can someone in Congress who’s not an active alcoholic driven by anger & unresolved trauma assist Rep Mace here? It sounds like what she’s obtained is valuable- Congress pays the settlements against reps accused of sexual misconduct. She’s nuts but the passion is real.

"The media's double standard for Trump needs to STOP Call it normalizing, sane-washing, or giving him the benefit of the doubt" He is 100% unfit & a clear & present danger to US BLAME THE GOP BLAME CORPORATE MEDIA Bravo @sulliview.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/margaret... #RemoveTrumpNow

Buttiigieg: "Look, when you are this deep into your second year, if your reflex is to still be trying to blame the previous administration, it really shows that you are out of ideas, out of solutions, and unwilling to take ownership of your own choices."

“SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!” The people of Tennessee not taking the stripping of the voice of majority Black MEMPHIS (to protect a corrupt president) quietly #NewJimCrow @GovBillLee. @MarshaBlackburn

I saw firsthand while campaigning with Chedrick Greene what a committed leader and excellent public servant he is. Congratulations on your victory tonight - I know you’ll continue serving fellow Michiganders well in the State Senate.

Someone out there decided it would be a good idea to put a German Shepherd in charge of babysitting a bunch of Doberman puppies and they were 100% correct

Ah, yes. Another member of the Teeny Peeny Club.

Costa Rica passed a law in 2018 that required electric utilities to install fast chargers every 50 miles on national highways. Tax breaks have made Costa Rica a pioneer in electric vehicles. Costa Ricans are buying electric vehicles at 3 times the rate of Americans. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/03/b...
