A lot of attention has been paid to the collapse of traffic to The Daily Wire and Ben Shapiro's YouTube channel. But other ragebait sites are also seeing huge drops in audience. According to The Righting, Outkick, The Federalist and The Blaze are down at least 48%. therighting.com/traffic-repo...

BREAKING: In written questions for the record, Senator @coons.senate.gov followed up on his question (from the 4/29 hearing) about the 22nd Amendment and whether Trump can run again. All four nominees conceded that No, Trump is not "eligible to be elected President for a third term in 2028."

Great interview and conversation on @deadlinewh.bsky.social between @nicollewallace.bsky.social and James Comey. He has hope and faith that this time we are struggling though is “not who we are”. From his lips to God’s ears.

Sean Duffy’s reality series is getting slammed for all of the obvious reasons, but don’t look past the fact that his show is being sponsored by companies his department oversees and regulates. In other words, it’s not just a political mess, it’s also an ethical one. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Supreme Court smashes Voting Rights Act in my latest cartoon for the Wisconsin State Journal...

I don't know if @aoc.bsky.social's told this story about orientation before, but I've never heard it

Just in time for summer.

Exactly what was/is needed in response to the desecration that is happening to our country.

The President of the United States is a criminal. He SHOULD have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th, 2021. He WAS convicted of 34 felonies for corruption and harassment. Yet somehow, instead of facing the consequences he deserves, he’s running the government like a mob operation.

Love this.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

She is so right.

" under Trump, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which helps people prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters, has been denying aid to states that have Democratic-led governments while speeding it to Republican-dominated states." heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/may-8-2026

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

A really tough week. I am doing everything I can to spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. You can help me by subscribing to Democracy Docket for free and sharing its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

The hill I’m dying on: The Marco memes are the best.

Benched. 🗳️🤦‍♂️

@timobrien.bsky.social on The Weeknight on MS Now. “Trump has epiclly bad taste.“ In reference to the changes trumps made or is planning for the White House.

At this point the White House might as well install a drive-thru window: “Would you like fries with your executive clemency?” Critics are now demanding answers over whether loyalty and connections matter more than accountability. Again. Read 👉 crowdblue.com/news/915605

Had convos w/ multiple people in the past 4 days who DID NOT KNOW that 1. AI doesn't "think" or know anything; it's a probability machine 2. It was created using massive amounts of work stolen from actual people including me 3. The environmental costs are astronomical Spread the word, every time!

thedemlabs.org/2026/04/23/d... Spreadsheets show Jane Roberts earned $10,323,842.70 in commissions over seven years.

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

Our government is lying to us.

From tyler merritt : “Racism with paperwork. And what’s wild is you smile and quote scripture while doing it.” @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn

MEGA (Make England Great Again) is rising and it should frighten us all. From Farage Camps to Local Election results everything is going Reform's angry way and Britain's decent majority need to step up now. Inaction is no longer an option. Me for @noosphere.app www.noosphere.app/farage-camps...

Omg. World class trolling.

World Donkey Day is celebrated annually on May 8 to recognize these intelligent, hardworking animals and raise awareness about their welfare.

Total shocker. Alito’s argument for why black people don’t need voting rights protections is based on fraudulent statistics.

Tennessee NAACP goes to court to stop "late-decade Congressional redistricting," and the law sure looks to be on their side.

Trump's attacks on free press and on his political opponents intensify. Meanwhile, his opponents are taking heart from how democracy-activists defeated Viktor Orban's authoritarian government in Hungary. My latest Authoritarian Watch column breaks all off this down. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

It’s staggering How swiftly states in the South can still move to stymie Black voters And how ready they were to do so

Louisiana v. Callais will “probably go down in the history book as one of three of the worst Supreme Court decisions in the history of this nation,” said NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson. From @jonshorman.bsky.social.

The President of the United States is a danger to the United States. And Congress and SCOTUS are complicit. 🇺🇸

russia: “We are fighting nazism” Also russia: invades neighbors kidnaps children destroys cities jails dissidents worships one leader uses propaganda 24/7 Sounds familiar for a reason.

Rollcall! How much is gas where you live? I saw $4.65 yesterday in Milford, CT.

EXCLUSIVE: In 2022, a Georgia grand jury investigated Trump’s alleged interference in the 2020 election. It heard from more than 60 witnesses. For years, the full record of what those witnesses said under oath has remained hidden from public view. Until now. www.lawfaremedia.org/projects-ser...

it's time for Virginia, a solidly blue state, to reckon with why it has a supreme court that has the politics of a deep red state

REP. @justinjpearson.bsky.social : “This isn't coincidental or accidental. We're seeing the greatest purge of Black power since the era of Reconstruction.” (H/T @motherjones.com ) #Memphis #JimCrow @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn

If you live in a state where lawmakers are not rushing back into session to make sure politicians get to pick their voters instead of allowing voters to choose their representatives, please don't ignore what is happening in the South. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-new-ji...
