So this has been floating around for a bit, but holy shit lmao this is like the worst possible thing to say.

www.rawstory.com/stringr/whit... duh.. Trump should have been locked up long ago. He should never have been allowed near Our Government.

Here's the wild exchange between Patel and Sen. Van Hollen (D-MD), who openly visited Abrego Garcia while he was detained in El Salvador, where Patel called Abrego Garcia a "convicted gang-banging rapist" and a "felon." bsky.app/profile/atru...

"the prior criminal record...or the character or reputation of the accused." The judge warned: "With knowledge of the Local Rule, any future statements that pose a clear and present danger to Abrego’s fair trial rights may subject the speaker to sanctions." www.courtlistener.com/docket/70476...

In Oct, the judge in the Abrego Garcia criminal case found that govt officials had already "made extrajudicial statements that are troubling" & directed govt counsel to provide all DOJ/DHS employees w/ this order reiterating the local rule against statements re: www.courtlistener.com/docket/70476...

Days after a trans University of Washington student was killed in off-campus student housing, the UW chapter of Turning Point USA is hosting ex-trans activist Chloe Cole. Students are organizing at counter protest outside Kane Hall at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, 5/13

As I told some people on the Hill recently, Trump is writing the Dems’ ads for them. He’s at -50 on handling prices, and 50% of persuadable voters say the economy/prices is their top issue, and they trust Dems by 10 on it (will likely increase with new data). This is a huge easy W for Dems

Dems are still favored to win the House. But we can't ignore or downplay how Republicans essentially won 10 seats IN A WEEK through gerrymandering, lawsuits, and judicial rulings. This isn't the kind of democracy we should be comfortable with. newrepublic.com/article/2102...

So much for the US military campaign that Trump and Hegseth claim has decimated the Iranian military…. NYT: Iran still fields about 70 percent of its mobile launchers across the country and has retained roughly 70 percent of its prewar missile stockpile. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/u...

vote blue, missouri

In three rulings, the court dealt a staggering blow to voters’ months-long, uphill legal battle to block the new map. The decisions — all unanimous — were released less than six hours after the court heard oral arguments in the cases.

BREAKING: The Missouri Supreme Court greenlit the GOP's gerrymander, which could hand the party one more red seat, for use in the 2026 midterms. Full story to come.

It's simple, Americans can't afford this president's agenda.   But instead of working to address the rising cost of living, this president would rather use your tax dollars to bankroll his billion-dollar ballroom & give ICE another $70 billion. www.cnn.com/2026/05/12/e...

Every so often, truth escapes Donald Trump's lips. This is true. Trump doesn't give a rat's ass about anyone's financial situation except his own and that of his cronies.

It’s anti-American to stand up against injustice and defend human rights, now? Thanks for clarifying

These are the truest words Donald Trump ever spoke “I don’t think about American’s Financial situation” #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

😡😡😡

This is the move, as Sotomayor all but said and as I covered at Law Dork.

The governor has already called for a special primary for four affected congressional districts to be held on Aug 11

UPDATE: Plaintiffs in Alabama last night went to the district court seeking a temporary restraining order keeping the 2023 map blocked—essentially using the reasoning about intentional discrimination and their constitutional claims that Sotomayor discussed. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

UPDATE 2: The second set of Alabama plaintiffs today filed a motion for an ex parte TRO — arguing that Callais doesn't upset their Section 2 VRA ruling because, again, of the finding of intentional discrimination. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BREAKING: Three-judge district court in Alabama redistricting sets a one-week schedule for briefing after SCOTUS's Monday order, citing an aim "that all Alabamians may timely and efficaciously exercise their constitutional right to vote." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NEW: We have a schedule for the ~new tariffs~ stay requests at the Federal Circuit: Cases are consolidated, briefing is to be completed over the next 10 days, with an administrative stay in place in the interim. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Brian Driscoll, the former acting FBI chief who was fired before Kash Patel took over the job, told CNN that Patel's job security depended on firing agents who investigated President Donald Trump over things like the Jan. 6 insurrection or his possession of classified documents.

Raskin accuses Patel, DOJ of millions in improper settlements to former FBI agents

VAN HOLLEN: Are you willing to take the audit test that members of the military take to determine whether they have a drinking problem KASH PATEL: I'll take any test you're willing to take. VAN HOLLEN: I'll take it. You ready? PATEL: Let's go. Side by side.

VAN HOLLEN: You agree, Director Patel, that if one of your agents was unable to perform their duties because of excessive drinking you would need to take disciplinary action? PATEL: We would implement the inspection review process VH: Multiple reports have alleged episodes of excessive drinking

STATESMEN LINCOLN: "[O]ur fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." JFK: "Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country." TRUMP: "He kept me out of jail for years!"

Residents in Fayette County, Georgia noticed their water pressure was unusually low. Turns out that a data center 20 miles away had been drawing 30 million gallons of water in secret through connections the county didn't know existed. Is it any wonder why so many are opposed to data centers?

Dominion and Smartmatic may have a new lawsuit to file

Fetterman just finds the issue that Dems are most upset about each day, takes the opposite side, then goes on Fox to call it TDS. On the rare occasions he can put two sentences together coherently. Rise, repeat. It’s boring. Tired. Classless. Useless. Like Fetterman.

Trump shares a post calling for Obama to be immediately incarcerated and tried for treason

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has allowed Alabama to select a different map for this year’s congressional elections in a stunning, last-minute move to interfere with another state primary election that has already begun. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Another dental visit, huh? It’s just getting comical at this point. They can’t even keep the lies straight.

We’re here in West Palm Beach—here are my thoughts ahead of tomorrow’s field hearing with Epstein Survivors. Epstein created a system to not only abuse women and girls—but the system itself. And, it was against a backdrop of wealth and power. The same world as the President himself. ⬇️

White Fascists can cheat. Black Citizens, and the people who support them, cannot. The SCOTUS majority is criminally corrupt.

The theory is that the Virginia Supreme Court is wrong on two issues of federal law: the first being the federal legal definition of "election", and that the court violated the state legislature's power to regulate federal elections.

Crime after crime. No Justice bsky.app/profile/chri...

They all lied. From Fox "news" ($767.5M) to all of they lying grifters of the 2020 election. Every damn one of them.

Other materials include video and audio of the plea agreement proffers given by Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis, and Scott Hall. The recordings also include interviews with Georgia officials and witnesses, including Gabriel Sterling and Ryan Germany. youtu.be/j1aogKMmcYU bsky.app/profile/anna...

The materials include the full proffer video of Kenneth Chesebro, the alleged architect of the fake electors scheme, along with interviews prosecutors conducted with 5 fake electors under immunity agreements. Watch Chesebro’s proffer here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=0Z8l... bsky.app/profile/anna...

Rod Stewart to King Charles on his visit with Trump: “Hello, sir. May I say well done in the Americas. You were superb. Absolutely superb. You put that little rat bag in his place.”

NEW: The Supreme Court allows Alabama to ignore its court-ordered map and greenlights a last-minute republican gerrymander in the middle of the primaries. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

NEW: NAACP on Supreme Court allowing Alabama to redraw map to dilute power of Black voters "We are witnessing a return to Jim Crow. Anybody who is alarmed by these developments—as everybody should be—better be making a plan to vote in November to put an end to this madness"

SCOTUS, which ordered Alabama to create a second Black opportunity district just 3 years ago, has lifted that order a week before the primary. The Purcell principle says courts shouldn't permit chaos too close to an election—it's now an open question whether there will even be a primary on schedule.
