The citizens of Festus, Missouri, population approximately 14,000, just voted out every single city council member who secretly approved a gigantic data center. A recall petition is also being circulated to remove the mayor and council members who were not on the ballot.

MacFarlane: I'm filling a notebook with misinformation spreading about January 6th today. The idea that these cases were wrongful, no case was overturned, not a one on appeal. And lots of people appealed. They had a 100% success rate for juries at trial.

Nearly 800,000 Louisianians voted yesterday and won, rejecting all five state constitutional amendments put forward by Gov. Jeff Landry...

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

Love and respect AOC (Ted Cruz not so much) @aoc.bsky.social

Perfect campaign ad for the upcoming Midterms. 👌

So Texas, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, and Tennessee can redraw districts without a referendum and that stands, but when Virginia lets voters decide directly at the ballot box, it gets overturned?

florida blatantly disregarding their state constitution is fine though? texas not putting it up to vote is fine though? but dems use a democratic process and virginia is invalid by a technicality?!

What is happening in Louisiana right now is both a redistricting power grab and a dry run for authoritarian election subversion this Fall. The governor has declared a state of emergency to suspend the congressional elections because he doesn't like the current map.

🚨BREAKING: A new lawsuit is challenging Louisiana’s decision to suspend congressional primaries already underway — arguing the state is illegally nullifying votes and plunging an active election into chaos following the Supreme Court’s gutting of the VRA. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-MD) tells @macfarlanenews.bsky.social the lawyers who filed the Comey case should be sanctioned. Ivey: I think the lawyers who are pushing these kinds of cases really should be held accountable.

A Supreme Court so fundamentally hostile to the rights of minority voters places the Court at odds with democracy itself. This is the legacy of Chief Justice John Roberts. I opposed his nomination back in 2005, and I stand by that.

Smith: "We're doing this on our own as we increasingly push away all our allies, gratuitously insulting them. In the middle of this war where we're asking NATO to come join us, the president took time to insult Macron and his wife. How is that helping us, to try to belittle everybody in the world?"

Thomas Massie at the Supreme Court this morning: “The White House Chief of Staff worked for a lobbying firm that accepted money from Monsanto / Bayer and that is wrong.”

"You can smirk, sir, but... " @rephaleystevens.bsky.social #rephaleystevens

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

Virginians: there are few people that hate gerrymandering more than me. But the Republicans violated norms with the Texas mid-decade redistricting, simply to grab power. The ONLY way to stop these acts is to make them backfire. Vote YES on the redistricting measure…

We cannot risk the world nor the wellbeing of our nation any longer,” she wrote. “Whether by his Cabinet or Congress, the President must be removed from office. We are playing with the brink.”

I don’t think Pete Hegseth’s henchman yelling at the papal ambassador to the US is going to intimidate this Pope.

The Supreme Court deserves a 2nd S.O. for giving him immunity.

Big Congratulations, thank you and your people for another important victory for the American people.

SHE is the definition of FAKE NEWS. She lies and spouts propaganda pretty much every day, to give Trump cover. And she's not that good at lying either, like this latest one, immediately contradicted by the facts that followed quickly after.

Mayor Mamdani chats with New Yorkers while walking the six miles from City Hall to Gracie Mansion, fulfilling the promise he made in his inauguration speech to “be outside” as Mayor — “because this is a government of New York, by New York, and for New York.”

Kim: Three weeks of the war in Iran could have funded vision, hearing, and dental coverage for every senior in America on Medicare. I mean, it just gives you a sense of the trade-off.

🎯🎯

Thanks again to @reptedlieu.bsky.social for having the courage to tell her to her face in the hearing: "I believe you just committed perjury."

@DesiLydic was really good on Kristi's husband. #Bimboification

Kristi Noem: "I was today years old when I found out about my husband!"

He needs to go, even more than Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi. The American people don't want this war, not to mention that he ran on "no new wars."

Washington state’s Millionaires’ Tax was officially signed into law this week. The revenue will fund public education, child care, and expand the state's earned income tax credit to help an additional 500,000 working families. Remember: We still have the power to fix the system.

The law applies a 9.9% income tax on income over $1 million.

Don’t let them gaslight you. This is from the NYPD’s official account

Walz: We will never leave the side of our Somali Minnesotans. Here's our pledge to you, our Somali Minnesotans, your great grandchildren will still be here when that orange clown is in the dustbin of history.

He has also been reported to have used Mail-In Ballots years ago. This comes up every time he goes on a rant against mail-in ballots. But they're unreliable/fraudulent for everyone else?)

Poland is planning to jail all the elites in Epstein files. They have started a task force to analyse the Epstein files as they don't trust the way the Americans have handled them.

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

Post it in the bulletin board. You may never see it again!

Putin must not have included this in his briefing...

watch Markwayne Mullin's facial expression as Rand Paul confronts him for "never having the courage to look me in the eye and tell me that the assault was justified. Today you'll have your chance. Tell it to my face."

Thanks @summerlee.bsky.social! And BTW James Comer is pathetic. He's the Republican go-to guy for getting nothing done and wasting time on useless performative theater, like deposing the Clintons for the Epstein Files. #SummerLee #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

The only imminent threat Trump was facing was the release of the Epstein files.

A tax season reminder that Intuit TurboTax lobbied the government for years to block free public tax-filing. Trump then terminated the free IRS Direct File program established under Biden, just a year after the tax prep giant gave his inauguration fund $1M. Do you see how this works?

CROCKETT: Professor, are you saying you believe it's constitutional for the US to blow up people that are accused of being drug traffickers? "It's not going to be a yes or no answer" CROCKETT: I'm going to stop you there. It's unconstitutional.

Speaking of learning disability: Gavin is not the one who blocked his college from releasing his transcripts. Or the one who learned nothing from W's disastrous Iraq War.

wow! Rand Paul begins Markwayne Mullin's hearing by confronting him about comments he made describing Paul as a "freakin' snake" & "celebrating" Paul getting assaulted "I wonder if someone who applauds political violence is right to lead an agency that has struggled to accept proper use of force"

Or Karoline Leavitt should be fired for being a propagandist
