I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

Mamdani: I cannot help but think of the words of our 40th president, Ronald Reagan. He famously said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the govt & I'm here to help'" I think nine more terrifying words are actually, "I worked all day and can't feed my family"

ok I know everyone is saying exactly the same thing at once but christ on cracker this is the president of the United States bragging that a fellow crook 'kept me out of jail for years.'

We lost Douglas Adams 25 years ago today. This has made a lot of people very sad and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Fixed it!!

This hasn’t just broken containment. It’s reaching escape velocity.

While you can’t afford a trip for your family this summer, you just paid for Sean Duffy’s 7-month road trip at $4.55 per gallon of gas.

Dems running for president in 2028 should consider pledging to replace Trump's ballroom with a museum devoted to American democracy and all our struggles over it. For good measure, let's throw in an exhibit about Jan 6. END newrepublic.com/article/2101...

Love this idea!!

that the virginia supreme court allowed the referendum to go forward - they could have stopped it - and then ruled this way really gives up the game the only difference between now and then is that the we know the result and they didn't like it

ICE is a criminal organization harming and racially profiling Californians. I'll send ICE to jail if they break our laws, all the way up to Stephen Miller.

If you thought elaborately faking being good at videogames to impress a bunch of manchildren was embarrassing, consider elaborately faking that your mother loves you.

To be fair, they don’t hand down decisions based solely on political motivations, sometimes they hand down decisions based on who’s giving money to their spouses www.forbes.com/sites/nichol...

For those of you who don't like to speak ill of the dead, HURRY!

I keep hearing reports that Rudy Giuliani dyed.

Folks, I've been seeing some negative comments about Giuliani. C'mon, people. Is that really how low we've fallen? "Some negative comments" isn't enough, it should be more. Pick up the pace, team.

Chuck Schumer has no chance to beat AOC in 2028. From how she is acting in New York State right now with the DSA I think it's pretty clear she's looking to challenge him in the Senate instead of running for president. I would argue that's the more important thing for her to do anyway.

John Lewis had John Roberts' number from the jump: takebackthecourt.substack.com/p/john-lewis...

Full statement on the Supreme Court's ruling in Louisiana v. Callais: "The Roberts Court seeks to achieve what the Confederacy and the Klan could not while wearing robes that are black rather than white."

The Voting Rights Act helped move us toward the promise of a pluralistic, multi-racial democracy. And now John Roberts has fulfilled his lifelong ambition to destroy it. Expanding the Court is the bare minimum. We need fundamental reforms to undo the damage being done by these neo-Confederates.

Just like the previous shooting, it wasn't staged, but they're incapable of reporting it accurately.

So an advisory opinion? The kind courts profess to never issue except in 303 Creative?

I do not get this shit. I'm a big guy. Former infantry officer, did a bunch of martial arts, gym rat, stupidly fought off some muggers once, blah blah blah. Never in my life have I thought of challenging someone to a fight. Cause I'm a grown ass adult who wants to win arguments on reason.

I've been led to understand from decades of US gun violence that there's a variable window of "too soon to politicize this" during which discussions of gun control are verboten. It doesn't seem to apply to advocacy of the illegal demolition of a White House wing to build a party room out of bribes.

This is a position that should lead to expulsion in a Democratic majority

Cry havoc and let loose the @dieworkwear.bsky.social

Trump: I'm going to destroy an entire civilization. We're going to keep killing people in boats. Senator Kelly should be executed. ICE protesters are domestic terrorists. Immigrants are vermin. Raskin: Donald Trump is bad for this country. Bash: Do you regret your heated rhetoric, Rep. Raskin?

Meal portions served to sailors on the USS Abraham Lincoln according to Newsweek.

Zero. Sympathy. They did this to themselves. Oh, and also? There definitely is an easy answer.

“In the absence of compelling evidence of federal law-breaking during Midway Blitz…” They rappelled out of a Blackhawk onto an apartment building to kick down doors and round up the occupants under false pretense and without a warrant to create social media content.

We can avoid the worst of it with proper nutrition.

Peter Magyar is not playing around at all. He's going to purge every single remnant of corrupt Orbanism. This is exactly how Dems need to be when they retake power.

Hey, Beshear, Lis Smith, & associated Majority Dem-types: If you want to kill group-speak, how about we start with “officer-involved shooting,” “ice agent involved-shooting,” “weaponized vehicle” & other mealy-mouthed obfuscations of state-sanctioned murder?

For the first time in decades, consensus broke at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. The United States cast the lone “no” vote on a document aimed at improving justice systems for women and girls worldwide. Misogyny is the official policy of the US under Trump.

Good for him but I am tired of learning about all the ways a 41-year-old candidate for U.S. Senate supposedly has a lot more growing and learning to do. Maybe do that before the Senate? And maybe try out a lower office before then? Or maybe we just watch him blossom into another Sinema/Fetterman.

Mamdani: When I ran for mayor, I said I was going to tax the rich 
Well, today we're taxing the rich...

This has been an open secret for years among everyone at Harvard Law but we're not supposed to acknowledge it officially. It's completely perverting the entire profession and ensuring ideological capture.

Trump would like to jawbone Thomas and/or Alito into retiring but (a) they're both too self-absorbed to care about anything after they die and (b) both are well aware that, if the rule of law is restored to America, they will be subject to prosecution on numerous bribery and corruption charges.

anyone who doesn't understand the value of middle management has never actually been a manager. the problem with these VC bozos is that they didn't work their way up the ladder, they got someone to throw them a bunch of money to go straight to CEO and they have no clue how an organization works.

Melania Trump: ‘Never Once In My 4,000 Years Have I Been To Epstein Island’

Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day.

This has to be -- in part -- an early dig at Mullins. I bet they highlighted the use of the fuck jet when coaxing him to give up his safe Senate seat for a job he'll inevitably be fired from.
