man barney frank really went out calling for pulling up the ladder behind him with his last breath. shameful

Hi. Teacher Aide here! Fuck you. I won't.

BREAKING: 144 House Democrats Join 203 Republicans to Pass CORCA Which Gives DHS and ICE the Absolute Power to Collect Personal Information on Everyone Under Guise of Fighting Retail Theft, in Case the Democrats Weren’t Disappointing You Enough

Jared Polis should resign today and never return to politics.

NEW: Sen Michael Bennet (D) says he will not appoint Gov Jared Polis to the Senate if Bennet is elected Governor. Bennet calls Polis' clemency for Tina Peters "disqualifying"

When a federal agency tasked with protecting all Americans decides to mandate a specific religious worldview, it ceases to protect democracy and begins to threaten it.

No money for pediatric cancer research but there's $1.7 billion for people who beat cops and smeared feces on the walls of the US Capitol.

Rep. Ogles: "Muslims don’t belong in American society," Rep. Fine on "mainstream Muslims": "I think you should destroy them first" Sen. Tuberville: "The enemy is inside the gates". Rep. Roy posted "No more Muslims" on his social media. None of them censured by Democrats. No penalty.

fundamentally unjust in their founding, always playing the victim, claiming underdog status despite their materially dominant position - sorry but they might be cooking with this one

Cato publishes some of Radley Balko’s stuff, which is in and of itself enough to justify their existence, IMO.

In an unusual flight path, jet flies into World Trade Center.

TRUMP: Routinely falls asleep on camera, has unexplained injuries on his makeup-caked hands, regularly makes genocidal threats, posts nonstop AI slop, compares himself to Christ, goes on unhinged rants every time he appears in public THE ATLANTIC: "He's becoming purer"

Your tax dollars paid for this event freedom250.org/celebration/...

Yes Barney Frank is bravely coming out as having the exact same opinion as all of his friends and colleagues. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Someone should ask Bill Cassidy whether it was worth torching his entire reputation of supporting children’s vaccination & medical care for poor people at his clinic by confirming RFK Jr as head of the entire U.S. public healthcare system just to come in THIRD in his reelection primary.

Some of the people interviewed are three-time Trump voters who nonetheless consider themselves political independents who distrust both parties, in case you needed another reminder of what that actually means

Seeing Dril enter his Reply Guy Era is the only reason to ever log into Threads

When a Democrat is president, the press only cares about the swing voters who oppose him. When a Republican is president, the press only cares about the conservative voters who support him.

Texas Children's caved and ended care under pressure in April 2022, over four years ago and they still got targeted by DOJ and Paxton. NYU caved and they still got served with a grand jury subpoena. Caving and abandoning will not save you. You have to fight these bastards or they will destroy you.

Just laughing at how it’s possible for a black woman to be so beautiful and talented that she sends a racist into a six day public stroke

in a way, isn’t causing men to crash out before she’s even done anything just proof that Lupita is perfect for Helen of Troy

this should end his career

/2 More seriously: I submit that it would be reckless, and an abandonment of duty, for other countries to join our Iranian adventure. Coalition action requires some level of responsibility, some level of shared assessment of reality. That’s totally absent here….

The reason people keep doing crimes for Trump is that you get rewarded for doing them, congratulations to Colorado's Dem governor for making sure we get more people trying to overturn elections on his behalf bsky.app/profile/kyle...

Jared Golden was the only Democrat to vote NO. If he voted yes, it would have passed. He isn't even running again. He's just a bad person who wants more people to die and wants a job lobbying for defense contractors. www.cbsnews.com/news/house-i...

Justice Alito saying that medication abortion undermines their decision in Dobbs is nucking futts. Dobbs SAID it was returning the issue of abortion to the political process / electoral politics. The FDA is part of that - and the FDA decided to make mifepristone available by telemedicine.

Freedom is a scheme to undermine fascists

What “distressing” ideas? How are they “cocooned”? It’s amazing how much publicity one can get by reinforcing cliches that accord so little with the experiences of so many of us who actually teach college students.

Fuck do I care? Don't publish this shit.

Surprise! Anti-woke slopwriter Jeremy Peters gets the irony exactly backwards.

This guy got Hand, Foot and mouth disease as a adult. Nobody should listen to anything he says.

Weird, it seems like the messaging was exactly the opposite of what the Make It Feel Like Head Trauma dude says

Show me the public health experts who, during the summer of 2020, said "you have to go protest in the streets because it's good for public health."

What you write in an “editor’s note” at the end of a story when you are definitely a credible news outlet running reporting by a legitimate journalist

An extremely courageous person who meant a lot to so many people.

Reminder that Florida voters passed a Constitutional amendment in 2010 banning gerrymandering with 62% of the vote and the Florida GOP just stole the courts and ignored it. By contrast retaliatory gerrymanders in CA and VA passed with the approval of voters. Yet media portrays them as equivalent.

The WSJ employs a lot of actual journalists but if you are one of them it's important for you to know your bosses and your colleagues in the opinion section prefer you personally to go to prison for doing your job than for trump to lose

NYU caved and ended care and they're still being hit with a grand jury subpoena. It's incredibly clear that no amount of preemptive compliance will stop this attack. You either fight or you will be destroyed by this administration. Caving will not save you.

🚨🚨🚨 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...

The Purcell Principle means it always too late for courts to fix something racist and never too late for states to do something racist

the court failed to provide the appropriate level of deference to a constitutional referendum and no one is obliged to honor its conclusion that the results should be invalidated.

again, i don’t think any of this is necessary. just say that the court was out of bounds, that it may be correct on the definition of “election” but that this technical matter has no bearing on the results of the referendum, which occurred in a free and fair contest.

In Louisiana and likely Alabama, actual, cast votes are going to be tossed out as officials speed ahead with new (or previously enjoined) maps. This is such an extreme use case for the Purcell principle that the court ignoring it here signifies that it was always a made-up toy, not law.

Why haven't we heard from a SINGLE Democratic state about steps they're taking to counteract the post-VRA GOP power grabs in Louisiana and Alabama and South Carolina and Tennessee? Do you think this is going to fix itself? Why is it so fucking difficult for Democrats to fight back?

Roberts dropping that “we’re not political actors” quote and doing this 96 hours later is nasty work

The Roberts Court previously treated the “Purcell Principle” (can’t change electoral rules close to an election) as important. But that was in instances doing so advantaged Republicans. Faced with a situation where Republicans want to change rules while voting is already underway, the Court says OK.

Th treatment of Mamdani will be nothing compared to what AOC will get, which amounts to attacking her opposition to concentrated wealth
