This would be utterly, flagrantly unconstitutional.

Jun 16 10AM CDT: Key Messages for Potential Tropical Cyclone One. For the latest information visit http://hurricanes.gov https://x.com/NHC_Atlantic/status/2066899911963037964

From the @texastribune.org: “I would strongly advise you to leave our caucus,” [former state GOP chair Abraham] George said. “There is a Democrat convention happening in a couple weeks. Join them.”

NHC has initiated advisories on Potential Tropical Cyclone One (formerly AL90) located over southern Texas. Potential Tropical Cyclone Advisories (PTC Advisories) are issued when there is high confidence that the disturbance will develop into a storm and bring significant impacts.

It’s worth mentioning in every news story that this deal is substantially worse for the US, and far more lucrative for Iran, than the Obama nuclear deal Trump blew up almost a decade ago.

BREAKING: The U.S. military says it's striking "multiple targets" in Iran in the latest escalation of tensions.

VoteHub projects Scott Wiener to advance from the Nonpartisan primary for California U.S. House District 11.

HAPPY PRIDE!!

Millionaire migration? Not according to the data... www.amny.com/opinion/econ...

If at this point you’re not assuming Trump is personally getting a cut of everything going through the White House you just haven’t been paying attention.

Misogyny is an increasing factor in far-right attacks, but it often goes unnoticed.

The goal of "viewpoint diversity" hucksters is to create precisely the kind of corporate (and fascism) friendly misinformation that leads to survey results like this.

Here is Tom Steyer personally supporting high school trans athlete AB Hernandez. I don't think I've ever seen a candidate as brave as Tom Steyer in his explicit support for trans folks. It says a lot that it took a self funded billionaire not dependent on donors to do it.

I’ve never connected The Chicks getting cancelled for opposing the Iraq War to the rise of bro country but it honestly makes sense?

The 10,500 diesel backup generators attached to data centers in Virginia produce enough pollution to harm public health in the region even if used rarely, according to a new analysis of emissions permits for The Post. https://wapo.st/4wSVnvi

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.  He embodies the broken system we’re running against. It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

This is Ken Paxton's mugshot. He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud. He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery. He was impeached by his own party for corruption. Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas. Together we will stop him.

Gross

As of a couple of weeks ago, no US Senator had lost reelection in a primary since 2012. Now GOP voters have ousted two senators over 10 days: Cassidy in Louisiana, and Cornyn in Texas.

BREAKING: Federal court blocks Alabama’s congressional map that creates an additional GOP-friendly seat, finding it ‘intentionally discriminated based on race.’

I just want a president who isn't a complete moron.

Absolutely. We’re going to work everyday getting GHGs to zero, building climate resilient communities, & leaving nobody behind. We’re clear-eyed about the impacts & the challenges. There’s no secret info—it’s bad! We can make it better. Doomers & population bomb folks aren’t in the climate movement.

Folks worried about overpopulation are not in the climate movement. They are in…another movement (derogatory).

Our new pied-à-terre tax will have the ultra-wealthy elite — those who own $5 million apartments in New York City but don’t actually live here — pay their fair share.

Then they're not "swing" voters, they're just Republicans

Happy 518 Day Capital Region! Whether historic sites, delicious restaurants, unique businesses, or fun events, NY-20 has so much to offer and enjoy. It's my greatest honor to represent each and every community in our district. What's your favorite thing about living here?

I'm begging for one article--just one--that is "Trump says Iran war is worth the economic pain. These urban voters in Harlem say `We told you he'd screw everything up, why didn't you listen to us?'" Just one. Just one "diner" interview in a place w a density above 1 per 1000 sq mi and < 95% white.

There is absolutely no reason for prediction markets to exist. None.

They are raising taxes on electric vehicles but not on gasoline vehicles. It’s bad policy during an energy crisis but also during any other time too.

I love how this article is 70% breathless fearmongering before you get to the last section which says: “U.S. officials don't believe Cuba is an imminent threat, or actively planning to attack American interests”

FIFA, which has apparently bought off the city of Dallas in exchange for nine World Cup matches in Arlington, is painting over a beloved 164-foot-long mural of humpback whales, one of a series of 100 created across the world by the artist Wyland... bit.ly/4uXFTVa

"“It’s possible that we’re starting to see the consequences of severe and sudden cuts to global health programs that have eroded surveillance and allowed deadly viruses to spread undetected...” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/15/w...

Today is the final day of early voting in Georgia. I'm curious how massive Democratic turnout could get. As of 10:30am, 63% of people who've voted today alone (roughly 20K people at the moment) have pulled the Democratic ballot.

All 50 state constitutions have ways to help the people overcome gerrymandering. Here's how in Virginia: retire the state Supreme Court. Virginia's Article VI gives the Assembly the power to set the retirement age of the Court. Dismiss them, and the voter-approved redistricting map can be law again.

Markwayne is saying arrests at the World Cup are “not off the table” while saying the Gestapo won’t have a presence there out the other side of his face. DO NOT COME HERE IT IS NOT SAFE!!!!

They think that you’ll just move on after they dodged your question once or twice cause you have limited time. I’m more than happy to spend my entire time getting the answer to my damn question.

Inflation is at a three-year high. Everything costs more — groceries, gas, healthcare, a plane ticket. The math is simple. Every American dollar spent overseas on war is a dollar that could’ve been spent here at home to pay for a dignified life. It's time we change the equation.

My guess is that the percentage of Americans who are aware that we are blockading and immiserating a neighboring country is in the single digits. Its not an invasion, but involves the use of American military force with the intent of collapsing the government.

The new inductees into the National Recording Registry at the Library of Congress include Swift’s 2014 pop album “1989,” Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” Khan’s hit “I Feel for You,” Vince Gill’s ballad “Go Rest High on That Mountain” and The Go-Go’s debut album “Beauty and the Beat.”

NEW: The Supreme Court has frequently admonished lower courts for intervening too close to elections but is now facing accusations that it is doing exactly that in a way that helps Republicans draw new districts at breakneck speed: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

its crazy how literally everything is worse than it was two years ago

What is the threshold for state to no longer be considered a democracy?

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.

In Opinion After the Virginia Supreme Court overturned a state redistricting vote, “the correct response is to fight back in the name of the people, who made their choice in a free and fair contest,” Jamelle Bouie writes. “Democrats must meet the moment. Or move over for people who will.”

Why

BREAKING: In a loss for Democrats, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled the congressional map voters approved last month to counter GOP gerrymanders cannot go into effect. The decision overturns the will of voters for technical reasons and gives Republicans a leg up for the 2026 midterms.
