The regime tried to force a special session in Mississippi to illegally gerrymander Jan 6 Chairman Bennie Thompson right out of office. But Thompson fought back, civil rights groups mobilized, and the MAGA governor folded. Read the victory here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/the-resist...

SICKENING.

Massachusetts just overwhelmingly passed a bill banning ICE from making warrantless arrests at schools, hospitals, and daycares. Local police are now barred from helping federal agents. Like this if you want your state to do the same! www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/the-resist...

Duffy embarked on the all-expenses-paid Great American Road Trip, designed as a “guide to the historic landmarks, open roads, and small towns that tell 250 years of this country’s story.” But as the financing has come into view, the trip looks less like civic uplift than a rolling ethics problem.

This regime is the most corrupt government, ever. But there are other adjectives. Depraved. Unscrupulous. Perverted. There's one more that's the most important and we should be THANKFUL for it. They are so shockingly inept.

Recently, I've heard lots of liberals say things like: "Most people calling for a revolution don't understand how bad things get during a revolution". While this has some truth to it, I would argue that most people don't understand how bad it will be if we don't do a revolution.

UNBELIEVABLE

A governor who discards votes should be impeached.

John Fetterman Thinks Trump Calling a Woman “Piggy” Is Hilarious - The New Republic As hilarious as me calling Fetterman a brain dead fat fuck. Now that is com-e-dy!

What a fucking POS

We need to flip four senate seats this November to overcome the Fetterman problem.

While BioNtech & Moderna become household names because of their Covid vaccines, those emerged from different projects: finding ways to treat the most challenging cancers. They hypothesized that we could vaccinate patients against their own tumors, & evidence is mounting that they were right! 1/n 🧪

As Starmer tries to fend off pressure from within his own party to step down, the parallels with Biden's exit in 2024 are increasingly palpable, writes Mike Shear, who covered both. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/13/w...

In advance of this morning’s oral argument, here’s a great piece from @thecoalition.bsky.social’s @geurkink.bsky.social on the ways in which this policy is making us all dumber.

A @politico.com analysis finds that judges have ruled against ICE detention practices some 10,000 times, or roughly 90% of cases, since the agency mandated that millions of immigrants must be locked up while they face deportation proceedings. @kyledcheney.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

If Hunter Biden had accompanied President Joe Biden on a state visit to China, every host at Fox News would have talked about nothing else for a year. Here, Fox host Lara Trump posts that she and her husband Eric Trump are joining Eric’s father, President Donald Trump, on his trip to “CHYYYYYNA.”

Who would have thought. Dumbest ducking administration in history

Remarkable: Vulnerable Republicans are tied to *all* of Trump's most hated policies. They've voted for: *health care cuts *tariffs *war *ICE raids *tax cut for rich Meanwhile, inflation and Iran have Trump raging. On the pod, @simonwdc.bsky.social talks midterms: newrepublic.com/article/2103...

New in PN: FCC's Brendan Carr picks a fight w/ The View ... and winds up in a battle w/ Mickey Mouse "Disney seems to have come to the belated realization that knuckling under is bad for their bottom line.

Iran has restored operational access to 30 of its 33 missile sites along the Strait of Hormuz and has retained 70% of its prewar missile stockpile, according to US intelligence, as reported by @adamentous.bsky.social Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/u...

America didn’t turn ugly because he became President. No. He became President because America was already this ugly. That’s the uncomfortable truth nobody wants to admit.

Bravo

LOL

Democrats doing “scorched earth procedural warfare”—or as @gregsargent.bsky.social has put it elsewhere, “procedural total war”—is the appropriate response to illegitimate Republican power grabs and distortions of law. The alternative is appeasement. Which, as history shows, will not work.

Tennessee Rep. Justin Pearson just destroyed Trump.

In a story which shouldn't surprise anyone who's been paying attention (or at least who's been following my healthcare wonkery for any length of time), @paigecunningham.bsky.social of @notus.com has a scoop re ACA enrollees losing coverage due to Trump/GOP policies: www.notus.org/healthcare/a...

The Trump regime is more hostile to the First Amendment than any administration in recent history, yet Trump portrays himself as the guardian of free speech - a ludicrous con. Here, the WSJ complains about being harassed with a subpoena for reporting on an unconstitutional war:

Ahead of the hit show’s finale, cocreators Paul W. Downs and Lucia Aniello talk about media consolidation, the perils of censorship, and why they find AI “deeply disturbing.” www.wired.com/story/the-bi...

Across the 30 states on the federal exchange (most of which are GOP-controlled), a whopping 21% of those who signed up during Open Enrollment had already lost coverage as of April. Across the remaining 21 states w/their own ACA exchanges (most of which are Dem-controlled), the drop-off was 8.4%.
