In a stealth upset, Democrat Eric Gisler flips a GOP-held Georgia House seat spanning parts of Athens and Oconee County. Gisler won 39% of vote last November. He captured 51% tonight to defeat a Republican backed by Gov. Brian Kemp and other GOP leaders.

BREAKING: The DOJ has filed its opposition to my motion for expedited processing of the EPSTEIN TRAINING VIDEOS. They're arguing that there's NO WIDESPREAD PUBLIC INTEREST. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-doj-re...

The first family corruption continues.

Oh right

Great! Lander is a Progressive. Goldman is a Moderate.

This is a time in our nation's history that will be remembered for all the broken fools who needed so much attention.

In case it wasn’t already clear - cbs is fox now under Bari Weiss

It’s important to remember that Laura Ingraham went to Dartmouth. She’s not as stupid as she sounds. She’s just a shameless liar.

NASHVILLE JUDGES request heightened security from @GovBillLee after Rep Andy Ogles posts their pics with the phrase “we are at war” A sitting congressman putting judges in danger. Pinocchiogles is going get people hurt. A disgrace to the office. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

The President is bragging again about passing a basic cognitive exam they give to determine if your brain still works.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

Disbar the lawyers.

The ACA tax credits that help millions of Americans afford health care are going to expire at the end of the month. Every House Democrat has signed the petition to extend the credits for 3 more years – but not a single Republican. Do👏 something👏 to save👏 health care👏

Since we can’t ever expect Mike Johnson to do the right thing, we’re forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits. And we only need four more members to sign the petition to make it happen. Help us move the needle! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

I've twice explained to spouse that there is no peace plan. Rather, there's a plan to limit the blowback when Trump capitulates to Russia. Trump will do it anyway: Trump is going to reverse sanctions bc he wants the grift. He's just trying to limit blowback for Russia Russia Russia.

SCOOP — Gregg Phillips, a conspiracy theorist with no emergency management experience who helped produce the election-denying documentary ‘2000 Mules’ with Dinesh D’Souza and has faced numerous legal inquiries, has been named head of FEMA’s Office of Response and Recovery. My story:

Here's the filing. SHe describes the delayed discovery at fn 9. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Here's the order Pam Bondi signed yesterday appointing people to replace Alina Habba. Lamparello signed a filing in LaMonica McIver's prosecution today. So they haven't put in a US Attorney. They've instead put in people working for her. www.justice.gov/opa/media/14...

It's really time to hold Murdoch accountable for this. Not that any of the Murdochs are squeamish about this. But they like being accepted in polite company and this stench should stick on them.

ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I sent those deaths threats directly to him in a text message & informed him of what his name calling & words were doing - it was a direct assassination threat on my son. And he was extremely - I won't repeat what he said - but it was extremely unkind. No sympathy. No care"

Waste. Fraud. Abuse.

it is actually kind of bananas how unitary executive theorists have taken a straightforward clause requiring the president to "faithfully execute the laws" and transformed it into a grant for the exercise of limitless unenumerated power.

Fact check: Lindsey Halligan is not and never has been US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia case mystery: After issuing a sealed order last week, a federal judge cancelled a hearing this week on Abrego's vindictive prosecution motion. Trump's DOJ moved to partially reconsider the ruling, and the judge scheduled a sealed, ex-parte hearing tomorrow.

A federal judge ORDERS the disclosure of Ghislaine Maxwell grand jury materials. But Judge Engelmayer swipes repeatedly at Trump's DOJ for paying "lip service" to then sidelining victims — and misleading the public about what the records contain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

4. Why would a U.S. private equity firm (Affinity Partners) owned by a U.S. citizen (Jared Kushner) need to waive governance rights to avoid review by the Committee on FOREIGN INVESTMENT in the U.S.? Because Paramount knows that Kushner's company is simply a vehicle for foreign influence.

This is the post I was going to write about Larry Ellison (and Jared Kushner's foreign influence peddling). Only written better.

The EDVA filing asking Judge Kollar-Kotelly to lift her TRO on unlawful searches of Dan Richman's data is signed by someone unlawfully impersonating the US Attorney. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I rediscovered this post I wrote in May, about how Trump has shifted the money the US used to spend on curing cancer into snatching your neighbors. I think I'll keep harping on this point. www.emptywheel.net/2025/05/09/s...

If every Muslim voter in Dearborn voted for Harris, she still would have lost Michigan. If she had won Michigan, she STILL WOULD HAVE LOST THE ELECTION. If you want to blame voters for current conditions, feel free to blame the actual demographic responsible for Trump and that is WHITE PEOPLE.

EXCLUSIVE: For years Donald Trump has evaded responsibility for the Jan. 6 insurrection. And for years, he has tried to kill a lawsuit that could hold him liable. He has failed. Again and again. This is it. This is the last chance to see Trump held to account: www.huffpost.com/entry/lawmak...

And remember these supporters were one person who needed at least one pardon (Stone) and another who almost did (Gaetz).

I think of that the same way Trump always fucks up (intentionally, it now seems) the meaning of asylum -- his believe that migrants all broke out of insane asylums. I suspect it's just like the wall, something someone told him but now won't stop him from saying.

I recently (and very belatedly) finished Jean Guerrero's Hatemonger, abt Stephen Miller. One thing she described which I can't shake is that the Wall was only a mnemonic Bannon developed to get Trump to repeat stuff. But Miller chased that religiously. www.pbs.org/video/jean-g...

Wonderful Ad!

holy shit this is a helluva ad from the democrat running for michigan secretary of state. watch and pass it on!

Two of these people are really depreciating the Irish-America brand

💰SCOOP: Hungary is in advanced talks with Russia on a plan to bypass US sanctions on Serbia’s mostly Russian-owned NIS oil firm by having a Hungarian firm buy shares. My sources say this is foreign minister Péter Szijjártó’s main topic at today’s Moscow trip—just 11 days after Orbán's Kremlin visit.

One way to think of the Trump Admin is as having SHIFTED the $$ we used to spend on curing cancer (and providing care to Veterans and protecting nature and etc) to snatching brown people off the streets.

DOJ wants to force American Oversight to get rid of three pages of a FOIA complaint that lays out DOJ's Jeffrey Epstein cover-up. Here's some of what they're asking to strike. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.
