we are returning to the state in which the framers intended for the legislature, in which the lower chamber and the upper chamber absolutely despise one another

If you want to know why a federal court struck down Texas' new congressional map, read this. It is an amazing example of Trump's DOJ utter incompetence. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Nine-month-old AI company you've never heard of that revealed its first product last month wants to be valued as much as Ford

From my reading today, I have concluded that Hunter S Thompson was also the last political journalist to also be a good writer

women are always saying “lord grant me the confidence of a mediocre man.” ok well he did. now what. is the world a better place? look at what you’ve wrought.

EXACTLY!!!!!

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

I like how with the whole “sitting on Epstein files” and “actually the rape victim was the instigator and Matt Gaetz was the real victim” stuff most papers would take a little break. But not the New York Times. They want to repeatedly hammer home just how fucking awful they are.

This is both A) incredibly suspicious, and B) within what I would accept as normal levels of government incompetence. So, you know, we'll see how the judge takes it.

ICE is currently considering awarding contracts to companies interested in providing “skip tracing” services that would deploy privatize investigators to track down immigrants residing inside the U.S.

Why, did he do something wrong

It’s so funny that Nick Sirianni can’t manage to get fired even though everyone wants to fire him because Howie Roseman is too good at his job

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

The more democratic elements of the American constitutional and economic order are actually throwing up road blocks to Trumpism. Protests and boycotts and low level courts and juries and cetera. Elite actors on the other hand are all too frequently caving. Fascinating study in who actually cares!

Tom Brady telling US Soccer to simply have the best player in the world

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

“Public Service Commission statutes indicate that utilities can keep only certain items from the public and for very discrete reasons – for instance, to protect competitive information or trade secrets. But in practice, secrecy is extended to a wide range of records.”

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Not long ago, ESPN would have covered today’s bombshell story with a heavy dose of Bob Ley, Jeremy Schaap, and Roger Cossack. We are a long ways from that era in media and are never going back. It’s a sad reality of modern day media and extends well beyond sports media.

Just absolute garbage. Hire real people to write.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys. "I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man." It's a must-read:

I feel like the market value for "I make Indiana great at football" commands an irrational price much higher than this so yeah, good deal

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone. And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.
