we often wonder what it might be like if the lockhorns were in an open marriage

I'm sorry WHAT

Crazy stat I just told @chrislhayes.bsky.social: Memphis has had its own congressional district since 1923 and now Republicans splitting it three ways to intentionally dilute Black vote

A good story about character and free speech history from the redoubtable Paul Alan Levy, whom I am proud to call a friend. paulalanlevy.blogspot.com/2026/05/a-hi...

The newly released Epstein note contains a weird a phrase "watcha want me to do - Bust out cryin!!" Well, our eagle-eyed producer @carebrose.bsky.social found it in an email Epstein sent to his brother in 2016. www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

/3 I spent a fair amount of time now criticizing or mocking FIRE over some of their political and philosophical choices but (1) their litigation work is important, effective, and very admirable and (2) they have many effective and admirable people doing good work for them.

He's giving the rebuttal to the keynote, I assume.

well

Holy shit this is magnificent

The state legislature tried to make a 63 percent black city live with a statue honoring a slave trader, KKK leader, and convict lessor. Now they’re going to make sure Memphians are represented in Congress by someone who hates them, and is terrified to step foot in the city. (Or any city.)

Alabama Legislature is meeting on redistricting; we are under a tornado watch, and it’s flooding in the building. These metaphors are too on the nose.

We live in a time dominated by deeply unserious people making deeply unserious arguments in support of tragically serious results that serious people would have both avoided and known to avoid.

This man is fucking disgusting. I hope that when he dies it's really fucking painful.

Dershowitz is genuinely loathsome and has been for a long time.

Considering how the pile of shit typed in those emails, this handwriting doesn't shock me.

This woman is savage and I fucking love it.

HOW THE FUCK IS THIS GUY EVEN A THING?!?

My new take for @msnowreports.bsky.social is similar to @marisakabas.bsky.social’s. Antidepressants help me to thrive & build a career in health policy. And RFK Jr is acting like docs/pts aren’t discussing tradeoffs of meds. (Projection amid MAHA docs selling magic beans?) www.ms.now/opinion/rfk-...

If you saw this happening in another country, what would you call it? https://newrepublic.com/post/210013/fbi-investigation-atlantic-reporter-kash-patel-drinking

Vecna would be all "gross man I'm not touching that thing"

Literally anyone involved in making these arguments before a court needs to be fucking disbarred with baseball bats.

The cruelty is the point.

This is the total cruelty of Trump’s mass deportation machine. I'm asking for Kevin’s parents to be released immediately so that they can be with their son. www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/c...

I am at the point of blocking anuone who takes issue with my characterization of this comment as "disparaging." Just FYI. I choose to only engage with people who can operate in a basic reality. Those are my rules. Sorry/not sorry.

Louisiana GOP is obviously & severely harming the public by nullifying the election of Calvin Duncan but also my jaw dropped, when researching, seeing how much Governor Jeff Landry and Attorney General Liz Murrill are like 'fuck this one Black man in particular' ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

The FBI’s reported investigation focusing on an Atlantic journalist would represent a significant escalation in the Trump administration’s war against press freedom, @dgraham.bsky.social argues.

This is actually exactly how sexual harassment prevention works under the 80/15/5 rule

Fox News has always been the epitome of the playground bully personality

The DOJ is demanding the personal information of thousands of 2020 Fulton County election workers — a move one local official said amounts to “harassment.” “This is yet another act of outrageous federal overreach designed to intimidate and to chill participation in elections,” he said.

Holy fucking shit. Food prices are going to fucking SKYROCKET.

This is really fucking bad

remember when michelle obama focused on encouraging childhood health and activity and republicans told her to shut the fuck up

One of the famous duties of Vice Presidents of the United States, "investigating" US states. And the media just nods along.

*rural Trump-voting seniors starving in their homes because Meals On Wheels cannot afford to deliver food* "IT'S GONNA BE THE GREATEST UFC EVER, THEY SAID I COULD BE A FIGHTER, I WAS A GREAT FIGHTER I'D KNOCK YOU OUT. IT'S GONNA BE THE BEST FIGHT EVER. HOTTEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD." - Donald Trump

Like, I get what they are going for, but...

holy shit this is real shop.indycar.com/products/inc...

God fucking damnit. I didn't note it before, but client has sent a letter to the court prior to my appointment where they call themselves the authorized representative/grantor of themselves.

The same people who decided to falsely describe the Park East event as "auctioning property in West Bank settlements" are now saying "the presence of a single vendor with brochures for settlement property is just as bad" If you believed that, you wouldn't have lied in the first place

This is exactly why we need DOJ reform to be *codified in law,* as I argued in this piece, and as Adam Schiff and others told me in interviews. The old post-Watergate norms-based approach is dead. newrepublic.com/article/2099...

funniest thing i’ve ever seen

Hey Siri, is this the way it works?

This is end-stage cult ideation, the kind of thing people whispered to each other in the Berlin bunker and the waning days of Jonestown.

This would mean ICE would acquire 10 GEO facilities, which would allow a Dem President to shut them down the moment they take office, resulting in both less ICE capacity AND less GEO capacity. And in the short term, the total number of prison spaces remains unchanged, just some change ownership.

Watching Obama barely able to maintain his composure is hilarious And the very smooth and immediate "It was not" 🤣
