This is exactly what happened in Missouri. Post2010 Census, went 5R-3D to 6R-2D w/ the provision that Black Congressmen in KC & STL remained. MOleg pulled some illegal moves to do an unconstitutional mid-decade redistricting of 7-1 map. Will probly cut MO-1 next. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/09/u...

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."

Book rec: this is the most accessible piece of reading about the Constituition I’ve ever encountered. Melissa Murray (@profmmurray.bsky.social) is a law professor with a podcast (is there any other type of law professor these days?), and she certainly has a point of view on the law. But … (1/2)

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...

Democratic minority leader Karen Camper’s response to Speaker Sexton stripping Dems of committees — she says House Republicans have little regard for rules/the law and points to a “deliberate symbolic scheme” around the way the special session was handled. www.facebook.com/share/14aY9Z...

NEW: Iraq and Pakistan have reportedly struck separate deals with Iran to secure shipments of oil and liquefied natural gas through the Strait of Hormuz, per Reuters. The development is a striking sign of how much leverage Iran now holds over one of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints.

New puppy.

There are few things more difficult than departing from meeting with a client in I.C.E. detention. Wasn’t even permitted to speak with her because I didn’t have the funds to pay associated fees beforehand. To be clear, this is illegal. The Right to Counsel is clear. But the Rule of Law is dead. 🇺🇸

Male and female Palestinians describe brutal sexual abuse at the hands of Israel’s prison guards, soldiers, settlers and interrogators.

Every once in a while he tells the truth.

PabloReports: What do you make of Trump saying that he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation? Rep. McGovern: Is anybody surprised? I’ve been saying all along that Trump doesn’t give a shit about the people of this country.

ICE Launches Door-to-Door Sweeps in NJ

He don't care about our problems.

"I DON'T THINK ABOUT AMERICANS' FINANCIAL SITUATION." Dems, if you aren't making ads with this dumb bastard saying this repeatedly, you're derelict in your duties.

🚨 When GOP Rep. Jen Kiggans hears “cotton-picking hands” directed at the highest-ranking Black lawmaker in Congress and responds with “That’s right. Ditto” — smiling as she says it — that’s not a slip-up. That’s her mask coming off. 👉Let’s flood the replies with #JimCrowJen!

Rep. Patty Murray: "We need serious leadership at the FBI that the American people can trust…If you want to pass out liquor or pop bottles in a locker room, stick to podcasting. Leave law and order to people who really do care about justice."

I don't think it would be a violation of any journalism canons if, every time Don Snoreleone nods off, a member of the press yelled "HEY!!" really loud. Not great but it's better than pretending it isn't happening every day.

A 10-year-old wrote MAGA Congresswoman Virginia Foxx for a school project. He chose to write about an electric vehicle tax credit. He thought it was good for the environment. Virginia responded by attacking him and his teacher for being propagandized. These people have power over your life.

This President deserves to be called out. Every time. We can never let him off the hook. Ever. I’ll never be afraid to say it like it is.

This kind man stopped his car to rescue a wild coyote that had been stuck in a fence for several days. 🙏🙏

Well, you can understand how The Anschutz Corporation that owns Coachella and funds various anti-woman/LGBTQ organizations wouldn't want to have their reputation confused with someone trying to promote humanity and kindness in the world. www.them.us/story/coache...

Here you go DNC. You're welcome.

No, it's not too much to ask at all. In fact, waaaaaaay back when I was in Journalism school, they taught us that we were to be public arbiters of fact. Not give our opinions, but tell people what's true and what isn't. Seems that's not a thing any longer.

AI cannot replace teachers. Students need caring adults, strong relationships & opportunities to think critically, question, create and grow. AI doesn’t make educators less important, it reinforces how irreplaceable they are. www.aft.org/news/ai-alre...
