Extremely funny to watch the right coalesce around “I’m in a bubble of morons, so this is impossible!” as an explanation for the LA mayoral results.

People, I'm begging you. Do not share this guy. He's not making the point you think he is. This isn't a dunk on Trump, this is purely a libertarian take on the role of government, which he thinks should be very small. He's a right wing, libertarian flat earther.

People ... please stop quoting this guy. He's not saying what you think he is, and he's a rabid right wing populist, and a flat earther. He's making a libertarian argument about limited government here, not some progressive attack on what Trump is doing.

So much like the cigarette companies of past decades. This is capitalism as its absolute worst.

NEW 🧵: Here's how Dems could redraw 9 congressional maps by 2028 & target more than 20 GOP seats. The GOP tried to rig the national map in 2026, & Dems had few ways to respond. But Dems could fully counteract them by 2028. We have example maps for each state www.the-downballot.com/p/how-democr...

GOP Rep. Andy Ogles has deleted his tweet saying "Homosexuality has no place in America."

lmao

The people politically loyal to Graham Platner are, largely, rural people. The people baffled by political loyalty to Graham Platner are, largely, not; and do not understand that the things they consider demerits are a foundation of his political appeal. open.substack.com/pub/rickperl...

this is my kind of company motto right here

I have seen C.H.U.D. there is nothing mysterious about this

This new PROOF report will make you angry. It should. Platner isn’t a great candidate—but he’s also not the person corporate media is trying to paint him as. PROOF does a deep, exhaustively sourced dive into the lies being told to ensure MAGA keeps its Maine Senate seat.

Give this a read.

Completely ludicrous.

the series started with wemby watching SGA win the MVP trophy that he openly campaigned for and ended with him stealing game 7 in OKC to go to the Finals….. absolute CINEMA

holy shit nobody has ever answered a question worse

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Trying To Draw Foul While Shooting Free Throw

Attorney: I’m a trial lawyer. I tried the case against Meta and Google in Los Angeles, the first social media addiction case decided by an American jury. The evidence that I saw in that case keeps me up at night.

This is what happens under fair maps—and why they gutted the Voting Rights Act. Get it? This is why generations marched, organized, and mobilized. And so must we. 📈

Los Angeles could elect a Democratic Socialist mayor.

On the plane, so I was able to watch Little Miss Sunshine with no distraction. I love while each of them struggle with their own issue, but they all push the bus together, move forward for the little one, for the future generation. What a lovely timeless film.

IT WAS CALLED THE SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR AND THEY BROUGHT THE BOOKS TO THE SCHOOL AND SET IT UP LIKE A BOOKSTORE AND YOU COULD GET GOOSEBUMPS AND FEAR STREET BOOKS BUT ALSO MICHAEL JORDAN POSTERS AND NICKELODEON BOOKMARKS AND PENCILS THAT SMELLED LIKE CUPCAKES

Republican Rep. Tom Kean Jr. of New Jersey has not voted in Congress in weeks, sparking questions over when he will return to Capitol Hill as he faces a competitive race for reelection back home and Speaker Mike Johnson oversees an extremely narrow House majority in Washington.

Platner is pushing a highly progressive platform — one far to the left of Mills. Yet all I’m hearing on Bsky is that he’s bound to be “another Fetterman” who’ll vote in lockstep with Republicans. This strikes me as rooted in stereotypes of the white working class rather than any actual data.

The 2026 and 2028 elections are going to be decided by gerrymandering. I don't want to hear of a single Democratic state legislature that isn't fully committed to maximizing the gain in seats for the party. This is a political war that needs to be won.

Today's cartoon by Drew Sheneman. "Sam Alito is an angry man. I don’t think he can feel or express joy anymore, but I imagine he still managed a strained rictus grin as he wrote the majority opinion gutting what remained of the Voting Rights Act..."

Absolutely extraordinary. The Democrats conceded *nothing* and got everything they demanded. They said no ICE/CBP funding, and that's precisely what happened. In other words, they did not cave. At all. But the GOP did—completely.

BREAKING: Mills ends her Senate run—Graham Platner the presumptive Dem nominee. Platner’s platform is nearly identical to Mamdani’s platform—and polling has Platner up 10 points against Susan Collins. In MAINE! Dems will win every seat when we prioritize WORKING PEOPLE over corporate interests.

Absolutely! Two can play at this game.
