This is a party asking to die

They put one of yours in the hospital, you put out a statement about how disappointed you are. That’s the centrist way.

From the terrific new book Undue Process by NBC immigration reporter Julia Ainsley: How the Trump administration fired a DHS press person because she refused to call undocumented immigrants "scumbags" in a press release.

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

My "we're not a stupid country" tweet has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my tweet.

Right-wing media is upset that Hasan Piker quoted the extremely radical... uh... JFK.

White House rolls out an obvious distraction and here’s the most powerful Democrat in the country clapping like a seal

After months of threats, Disney is finally standing up to the FCC rather than needlessly pulling one of its stars from the air. www.avclub.com/disney-filin...

what good is woke cia if it won't ratfuck the supreme court on this

yes. change the statute on which this decision turned and redistrict according to the legitimacy conferred by the people of the state

FWIW: This is essentially John Roberts’s “reasoning” in Skrmetti, so, yeah, don’t laugh too hard.

The Washington Post is just so profoundly embarrassing now

Lol you fucking cowards

“We need a strong Republican party” is a psychopathic thing to say at this point. And in my opinion at ANY point in recent decades. But now? Straight-up saying hey friends, we still need a lot of fascism, a lot of racism. It’s necessary. C’mon guys. We need a destroyed Republican party. Ashes.

One side is like “can we disenfranchise all the Black voters by this weekend” and the other is like gotta follow the rules that govern the rules that control the rulebook

I'm a page and a half in and I'm already fuming. A Republican justice pretending to whine about gerrymandering and quoting Kagan's dissent in Rucho in order to throw out the will of the voters and enshrine Republican gerrymanders elsewhere is so fucking rich.

its rulings like the virginia one that have people like me thinking the people who continually insist the dem party's "be patient just vote and do nothing more" wing have it right are fucking insane

insane every blue state in the country needs to pack their own state Supreme Court immediately if the unelected law wizards want to make donald trump a god-king with a 30% approval rating their power must be broken at every level

"the institutions will save us"

Ohio Republicans overruled their state Supreme Court to implement their gerrymander anyway: Time for Virginia Democrats to do the same.

it's time for Virginia, a solidly blue state, to reckon with why it has a supreme court that has the politics of a deep red state

Gerrymandering for me but not for thee, the Republican way.

It’s pretty humiliating to watch sixty fucking minutes do a glam sympathetic interview with a guy I saw get arrested for beating people in the streets

I wrote about the emails Josh Shapiro didn't want you to see, exposing too-cozy ties between Pa. gov and Amazon, whose $20B plan for loud, energy-guzzling data centers across the state has sparked a citizen revolt Amazon delivers a political headache. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/tech...

Breaking NEWS!! Federal judge rules DOGE illegally terminated NEH grants last year in a summary judgment in favor of plaintiffs AHA, ACLA, and MLA, and orders the restoration of 1400 terminated grants

Iran keeps cooking our ass with these videos

lock'em up

The fact that the Republican Party always has legislation to make it harder to vote or to disenfranchise Black people ready to go whenever the Supreme Court takes another whack at the Voting Rights Act tells you...a lot.

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

Oh fuck this guy forever

it is genuinely very important that we wipe this guy’s name off everything he’s slapped it on and tear down his ballroom and his arch he wants to be mythologized and the answer has to be no, he is a loser and a failure which should be remembered as one

it's kind of astounding that a billionaire is somehow the best looking CA governor candidate

I voted for her, but I really don’t understand the desire to blame voters and not the candidate when the issue is literally genocide. Like, GENOCIDE. This was not a disagreement over lawn maintenance.

SCOOP: A confidential new CIA analysis delivered to policymakers this week concludes that Iran can survive the U.S. naval blockade for at least 3 to 4 months before facing more severe economic hardship, a finding that contradicts those hailing an imminent collapse 🧵

There will be an elite media effort to rebrand Rubio as "the grownup in the room" when the GOP 2028 stakes heat up. It will involve a lot of magical thinking, but it will happen.

look, it’s time to embarrass these people. ask them if trump could play quarterback right now for the cowboys, ask them if trump is more mortal or god, ask them if donald trump deserved an oscar for his performance in home alone 2

im sick of the media describing a potential “deal” in iran, there is no “deal,” trump is begging them to let him surrender and they wont let him
