House Oversight's Robert Garcia says Dems will release a new report May 12 that he says will detail, from bank records, how the sweetheart deal that Alex Acosta helped further enrich Jeffrey Epstein and expand the network of sexual abuse of adolescent girls. "This report is just the beginning."

things are truly off the rails

Straight up Klan talk from the 1920s. The reference to Islam is the only thing that would mark this as something from our own era.

not subtle

Following the Supreme Court’s gutting of the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965, elections in newly-gerrymandered states are likely to lead to a historic drop in the number of Black representatives in Congress.

Trans rights are human rights. Feel free to send your bitch army to my house.

he has been laser focused on this tiny little bird for like 10 full minutes

donald trump is fatter than jb pritzker, i know it feels gross to talk about weight but if he’s gonna talk about pritzkers it’s completely appropriate to point out that he’s very obviously obese

Our survivor-centered hearing in Palm Beach is underway. If law enforcement had done their job from the beginning and delivered accountability to survivors, we wouldn't be here today. Tune in now on @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social.

Palm Beach is where many of Epstein's horrific crimes took place. And it's where some of the most damning failures of accountability occurred. That's why we've brought our investigation here. Tune in to our @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social hearing with survivors: www.youtube.com/live/SSkTW4m...

BREAKING: PayPal capitulates to Trump admin over its June 2020-announced "Economic Opportunity Fund" to "support and strengthen Black and underrepresented minority businesses and communities," agreeing to a new $30M-valued "Small Business Initiative."

Pitchfork gives ‘BROWN’ by Chris Brown a score of 1.3, accompanied by a one-sentence review: “Chris Brown’s soulless, hit-chasing new album doesn’t justify his return to the public eye.”

The White House says they will “identify and neutralise” political groups that are anti-American, “radically pro-transgender” and anarchist. (www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...)

“Every time Black communities get close to political power, we see this shift… We see states across the South reminding the country exactly why those protections exist in the first place.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Ok, this is far besides the point and likely just the result of using AI slop, but in their cover pic for the event either the American flag or the cross is upside down. Either way it's unintentionally spot on.

Happy Mother's Day to those raising, supporting and caring for NYC's cutest. We honor you today and every day.

But they’re definitely not racist

Went from being like “this is stupid” to “as always, Karl Urban makes a good point”

🚨🚨🚨 DOJ sent a grand jury subpoena from the Northern District of Texas to NYU Langone for all patient records of trans youth. DOJ is engaged in forum and judge shopping in Texas in a blatantly unlawful bid to shut down gender affirming care in blue states. nyulangone.org/public-notic...

Requiring the parent of a SNAP recipient to provide a written statement clarifying that a birthday money transfer was not recurring support is so dystopian.

they're paving the way to make it illegal for women to choose not to have children btw

Dems and mainstream media are trapped in a doom loop. When objectively scandalous things happen, the media waits for Dems to treat them as scandals and Dems wait for the media to treat them as scandals. Eventually everyone just moves on.

“Inevitable” The automobile was inevitable b/c the PEOPLE wanted it The personal computer was inevitable b/c the PEOPLE wanted it The internet was inevitable b/c the PEOPLE wanted it The smartphone was inevitable b/c the PEOPLE wanted it AI isn’t inevitable b/c THE PEOPLE DON’T FUCKING WANT IT!

Mississippi State Auditor Shad White says redistricting isn't just about partisan politics; it's about making sure "Bennie Thompson and Hakeem Jeffries are not in charge."

Understand that the news below isn't being consumed by MAGAs. MAGA influencer-grifters have told them that the job is already completed, wasn't done by an unqualified Trump pal, cost $1.8M (not six times that) and isn't doomed to produce more algae blooms.

On our way to start shooting the new episodes of MST3K this morning. Very exciting! (He’s gonna drive)

ICE agents are deploying harmful weapons like tear gas and pepper spray against children. This is unacceptable. Congress must rein in ICE and reject any more funding for this cruelty.

NEW: In a major win for Montana voters, a court blocked a voter suppression law that would've cut off Election Day registration for federal elections at noon. The pro-voting plaintiffs argued the law would create needless confusion and block voters from casting ballots ahead of the midterms.

Seeing lots of stuff on here about how the Democratic wave predicted for November means hardball moves like forcing retirements at the VA Supreme Court are unnecessary and I am old enough to remember how people thought we didn't need to remove Trump from the 2024 ballot since he'd lose anyhow.

The Denver Police Department broadened its use-of-force policy to allow officers to use Tasers in more circumstances for 10 days last month, then reversed course and rescinded the new policy after the city’s police watchdogs criticized the move.

Interesting piece, but I resent how Peter Thiel is represented in the Gawker saga. Thiel didn't "emerge from the shadows" to magnanimously tell the NYT he funded Hogan's lawsuit against Gawker. He did it because my colleague and I exposed his involvement. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

Today was supposed to be the trial date for my arrest last September at 26 Federal Plaza. My trial was postponed until early June, so I used the time for another court-watching shift. We must continue to fight back together against ICE’s lawless abductions.

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

Hope every mother out there had a Mother’s Day as beautiful as my daughter’s portrait of Mom

Trump gathered all of the very worst people in the country in one place and got them to break a million laws and then pardoned all of them, and now local law enforcement has to go get them one by one as they commit new crimes.

'it's really OK for them to be loyal to the person that appointed them' should be all Democratic Senators need to hear from Trump to categorically oppose Trump's judicial nominees

The screenwriter is William Goldman. To me, the master of movie thrillers. He adapted this film and also wrote the screenplays from his own novels "Marathon Man" and "Magic." #FrightClub #TheStepfordWives

It’s cool how the most powerful person in the country is a decomposing 79-year-old

If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.
