For the rich, by the rich.

To be clear: the lower court said the map intentionally discriminates against black people in violation of the *constitution* (not just the VRA) and the MAGA Majority of SCOTUS is saying "that's ok now."

Something remarkable is happening in Iowa with @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social's campaign. Congratulations on earning the nomination, Josh. Looking forward to hitting the trail with you soon.

The Purcell principle now officially just means “Republicans win.” For the reasons Sotomayor lays out here, SCOTUS’s eleventh hour intervention for Alabama Republicans is indefensible. It’s going to unleash massive chaos on the ground for both voters and election administrators. What a disaster.

"What is true is that the President has lied about being on Epstein's plane." Rep. Madeleine Dean confronts Acting AG Todd Blanche with handwritten notes exposing a massive DOJ cover up.

Brain-damaged Fettermaga gets confronted at a grocery store by a woman who had breast cancer and a double mastectomy ant then lost her health insurance under Trump. He can barely string words into a sentence. This man should not be a Senator!

National Security expert Joseph Cirincione spoke to me on Trump’s Iran war saying point blank: “This is one of the greatest strategic defeats the U.S. has ever suffered.” He added, “Iran has become more powerful because of the war and the U.S. has lost credibility." youtu.be/XjrjBXFLOWg?...

If you go out, go out like a Scott Pelly, not like a John Cornyn. Fight evil, fight corruption, fight vapid anti-anti-Trumpism, fight the trash people ruining the country and the culture. But hey, congrats to Nick Bilton. I assume he’ll now get an invite to speak at that big FIRE conference.

Sotomayor, joined by Kagan and Jackson, issues a 17-page dissent to the 4-page order: "[J]ust as Alabama doubled down on racial discrimination, the Court today doubles down on chaos."

Scott Pelley was fired. Bari Weiss and Co are day by day killing a great journalism institution. For what? To appease a man who despises journalism, free speech, democracy and American values. Infuriating.

Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends. He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission. Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

“Republican friendly” is just a sanitized way of saying racist here www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/u...

Fox News is so out-of-touch that it thinks being against the construction of data centers, which are wildly unpopular, is a "far-left" policy. Keep up the good work of making progressive candidates more appealing to voters, Fox.

well, it isn't just physics--it's chemistry, biology, etc. But models afford us with the best opportunity to understand nature at a conceptual level, and it's the marriage of models and observations that leads to the richest understanding of all.

I believe that Stalin's spokesperson said the same thing when asked about science policy changes under Lysenko's leadership: #ScienceUnderSiege

Since there are once again some pretty outlandish claims circulating based on papers that have not passed peer review, a reminder that the global temperature record of the past decade is fully consistent with state-of-the-art (CMIP6) climate model simulations: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

This is a helpful guide! If you haven’t made a comment yet, please do! Even—especially—if you’re not a scientist!

Still thinking about how Trump EPA's economic analysis for its final rule delaying the phasedown of super polluting refrigerants monetized potential savings but *not* potential costs. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This has been a long time in the making but I am sure that technology companies with skyrocketing emissions are very very very happy about this apnews.com/article/sec-...

NY Times Pitchbot: Meanwhile, the Iowa Governor signed an executive order allowing kids in the state to work the weeknight graveyard shift at dangerous poultry processing plants. So, both parties are taking controversial stances on kids' bed time.

US states sue Trump administration and TotalEnergies over offshore wind cancellation reut.rs/4uhK3q5

So glad they're back, best environmental news in the Universe!?! @greennewsreport.bsky.social and @thebradblog.bsky.social !!!!

PETERS: Yes or no, do you think it's right for a president to approve disaster aid based on whether a state voted for him instead of the amount of damage in the state? This chart behind me is pretty dramatic MARKWAYNE MULLIN: That's not my experience of the president P: This chart speaks volumes

The president took your money illegally and he won’t give it back

Ossoff: This is what small men like Trump, Vance and Miller will never understand. Our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas. Americans are a people united not by ethnicity, but by our shared convictions. That is what makes us exceptional.

Political positions considered Leftist in America are just common sense in other countries.

This is the same person who tried to weaponize mortgage information to go after the President’s enemies. This man has no business being anywhere near our national intelligence and security agencies. ⬇️

You sound unhinged if you say it out loud, but the acting Attorney General directed the IRS to stop all ongoing audits of Trump, but we know from leaked tax returns that Trump owes more than $100 million in unpaid taxes, so Trump is basically just giving himself a free hundred plus million dollars.

“We’re surprised people like you are allowed into here” “Jew, Jew, Jew” Imagine trying to focus on taking one of the most consequential exams of your life, while hearing these hateful taunts. This is the reality for Britain’s Jewish students.

COLORADO IS UNDER ATTACK BY TRUMP! What can we do to stop this? www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Pam Bondi deflected responsibility for the Epstein files over 30 times while a top DOJ lawyer stopped her from answering any questions about the President. Republicans need to release the transcript now.

Ossoff: "While you pay more for everything, Donald Trump wants your tax dollars for what many are calling the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom."

Genuinely odd sea surface temperature anomaly pattern in the North Atlantic right now: pulse.climate.copernicus.eu

The same bad actors that have opposed climate action for decades have now sought to weaponize the modest progress toward decarbonization we've made in spite of them. My co-author @doctorvive.bsky.social & I recently weighed in on this in the @thebulletin.org: thebulletin.org/2026/05/sorr...

NCAR just won in court! A US district judge in Colorado has prohibited NSF from taking #NCAR apart, specifically in spalling off its supercomputing center in Wyoming. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Our earlier story on this and why it matters: www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪

Imagine how angry Americans would be if the media had adequately explained to them that Obama had secured a deal that was preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon and Trump blew it the fuck up.

With each passing day, I'm liking Jon Ossoff more and more. I think he may be the real deal.

Trump pushed out 7,000+ Social Security staffers, declared living Americans dead, and installed a part-time commissioner to oversee the whole thing. Now, we have a scourge of “ghost offices” unable to help millions of beneficiaries. Frank Bisignano needs to resign NOW!

A South Carolina jury has found a store owner not guilty of murder in the 2023 shooting of a Black 14-year-old.

In a few days, Republicans will try to hand Trump over $70 billion more for concentration camps like Delaney Hall.

MOST RAPES ARE NEVER REPORTED. THAT DOESN'T MEAN THEY DIDNT HAPPEN.

At their state convention, Minnesota Republicans held a moment of silence for former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.
