Not a conspiracy! "Tigert, the water system director, blamed the issue on a procedural mix-up." "the utility didn’t know about the water hookups because the connection process 'got mixed up' as the county transitioned to a cloud-based system while also trying to accommodate an industrial customer"

Happy Mother’s Day to every woman who became someone’s safe place. Especially to my mom. 💐 “My mother is my life. She is my soul. She is my identity. She is my pride. She is my power.” ~ Nelson Mandela #SheShed #HappyMothersDay

Like every Mother's Day today I am asking that you consider a donation to @nationalbailout.bsky.social to help free mamas who are separated from their families by the injustices of pretrial detention systems. secure.actblue.com/donate/freeb...

This is an excellent analysis by @gelliottmorris.com of the fatal statistical flaw in the Roberts Court’s gutting of the Voting Rights Act. My view is that Republican partisan gerrymandering is often the same as white racial gerrymandering — the Roberts Court simply pretends otherwise.

So yesterday, the president's allies unveiled a 22-foot-tall golden statue of him that they prayed around, and then the president confused Iran and Iraq, seemed clueless about his FDA commissioner getting fired, and called a reporter a bitch? Cool. Cool cool cool.

NEW: The National Trust for Historic Preservation has filed it's response to Todd Blanche's wackadoo midnight motion to dismiss the injunction barring Ballroom construction (the one that read like a Truth Social post. They open by listing several lies Blanche told in his motion: 1/

I sat down with Heather Brown-Richardson for ‘Out in STL’ last week to discuss my perspective on the challenges facing our LGBTQ community in Missouri. For me it’s simple it’s about the freedom to live your life and raise your children without the government and extremist politicians dictating how.

National Trust for Historic Preservation achieves the nearly impossible—a dignified response to Blanche’s PR stunt disguised as a court filing exploiting the WHCD attack to get Trump his ballroom.

A father's sacrifice: Saving his son, losing his life and the heartbreaking choice left behind

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.

Virginia voters showed up. Over 3 MILLION of them. And a court just threw their votes in the trash. This is voter suppression wearing a robe. Hakeem is right — this is unprecedented, undemocratic, and it CANNOT stand. Our fight is not over. We are just getting started. No Jim Crow 2.0

"Your racist maps won't silence us!" TN voters were kicked while watching their rights be stripped away. Mother Jones' @garrisonhayes.bsky.social reports on the scene:

The FDA authorized the first fruit-flavored vapes for adults 21 and over amid President Trump’s previous vows to “save” vaping. The agency green-lit electronic cigarettes from Glas in mango, blueberry and two varieties of menthol. https://wapo.st/4n8UaeO

NEWS: The Epstein files are now bound into 3,437 physical volumes in a new exhibition space in Tribeca. Millions of pages. Two stories tall. And yet only two people have ever faced accountability. Katie Phang discusses the rage she felt walking through the space.

The U.S.’s failure to learn the *most obvious lessons* from its actions’ repeatedly going sideways is the craziest thing on a long list of crazy things about it.

While you're celebrating with your mom this Sunday, thousands of kids are wondering when they'll see theirs again.

If Lutnick is not asked about this when he testifies in Congress today, it would be profound negligence. Here’s proof that he lied about his relationship with Epstein and had deeper financial ties with the sex criminal than he admitted. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“The first step in truly reining in the court is to remember that the republic — and the Constitution that brought it to life — is meant for us. It is ours to interpret and ours to transform,” our columnist Jamelle Bouie writes.

Morning Joe put together a supercut of Sen. Blumenthal asking Trump's judicial nominees who won the 2020 election, and each of them refusing to acknowledge that Trump lost

“The consequences are likely to be far-reaching and grave. Today’s decision renders Section 2 all but a dead letter," Justice Elena Kagan wrote in a dissent for the three liberal justices.

Here are the top 5 dogs of April!

The Georgia Supreme Court race is nonpartisan, buried in the May primary, and designed to be confusing. The (I) next to an incumbent’s name isn’t an accident. Know who you’re voting for: @jenjordanga.bsky.social and Miracle Rankin. #gapol

Don't let anyone or anything tell you that you don't have any power. You do, so use it.

This is what happens when we stand up and fight back. RFK Jr.’s attacks on trans people and public health are failing. But we can’t stop now. Contact your Rep today and demand they co-sponsor the articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. Take action: zurl.co/kXTJL   #ImpeachTheQuack zurl.co/BuZWn
