The outcome of this case is a pivotal moment for our country. If the Voting Rights Act goes down, the SC is truly bought and paid for and we are all in real trouble.

I can’t overstate how entirely untethered to the constitution and past practice this unilateral move to repurpose funds to pay for military pay is. The commander-in-chief clause has precisely 0 bearing on the ability to expend funds. Here’s a list of authorities that do:

but I'm the only one that matters LOL

Canceling Jimmy Kimmel show is not about Charlie Kirk, just like going after universities was not about antisemitism and occupying DC was not about fighting crime.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

THE LATEST SCOTUS RULING IS A REMINDER OF HOW IMPORTANT JUDGES ARE. 📣 #Pennsylvania has 3 Dem State Supreme Court Justices up for retention this fall. Help keep them on the bench! There's also seats up in #WI & #NC next year. Donate today! secure.actblue.com/donate/state...

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

www.yahoo.com/news/article... TRŰMP, Rs, MAGA DID THAT! 👉🏼Thune Barasso Johnson Scalise👈🏼 Entirely responsible for everything that’s happening to you & will happen. I’m not Cassandra. It’s not just medical. TRUST ME. Prepare your life.

Outgoing senior DoJ Domestic Terror lawyer Tom Brzozowski warned last month that threat level was “red,” not b/c of a terror group but increasing propensity for disgruntled Americans to act on personal grievances. Unit disbanded by Bondi. @SpyTalker www.spytalk.co/p/exclusive-... #KirkAssassination

While we were distracted by Charlie Kirk, the incompetence of Kash Patel, the conviction of Jair Bolsonaro and the GOP voting not to release the Epstein files Republicans in the Senate were busy deploying the nuclear option by shredding the filibuster Thanks so much, Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema

Judging by the shamefully opportunistic & politicizing rhetoric of some rightwingers on Twitter, & their cynical use of Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder for political point scoring, it’s almost as if Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t murdered by a Trump-voting MAGA maniac just 12 weeks ago.

"President Trump ventured one-tenth of a mile beyond the gates of the White House for dinner on Tuesday night, only to be met almost immediately by protesters who called him “the Hitler of our time.” And he dragged his posse along with him... www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/u...

What’s wild to me: NOW, media outlets & medical organizations are “stunned” by the damage RFK Jr. is doing to CDC, other health agencies, & public health. Me & my colleagues have been screaming about him for years. Years. Even more so in the last year. We were called hyperbolic. 1/

But by far and away, the biggest priority for a Heritage Foundation-captured CDC is going to be using the agency's legal frameworks for access to medical data, and weaponizing them to control women. *Most* of the Project 2025 plan for CDC is a witch hunt against abortion on an unprecedented scale.

When a veteran who served 22-year as a naval officer and spent his life as a public servant says things at the Social Security Administration are this bad, an immediate congressional investigation is in order. Another example of honorable people doing honorable things. We should listen to them.

Yes, call not matter which party you Representative and Senators belong to; Yes, call if at all possible. You can *also, additionally* send an email if you'd like; Yes, call after hours to leave a voicemail if you don't want to speak to a person; Yes, you can change my script if you want to

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.

Vote for Mikie!

My sentiments exactly, @angrystaffer.bsky.social !

[writing the constitution] Benjamin Franklin: Write down "no dumb fucks as president" Alexander Hamilton: Stop saying that Benjamin Franklin: I'm tellin' you. You're gonna regret not writing that down

I grew up in Washington DC and it has never felt safer or cleaner. Trump's "emergency" is fake, straight out of the authoritarian playbook

🗞️Israeli's targeted mass-murder of five Al Jazeera correspondents in Gaza was absolutely repulsive, and has not gotten the attention it deserves. As a lifelong journalist I send my respects to their families and absolute disdain for Bibi Netanyahu who has proven himself a hideous monster. #FreePress

merit? oh really. Trump's pick vs Dr. Erika McEntarfer www.nytimes.com/2025/08/02/u...

Let's focus on qualifications: Antoni finished grad school 5 years ago at Northern Illinois with no distinction. Dissertation: No focus on labor or data collection. Zero publications. One lifetime citation (by a former colleague). This record would not earn you a job as junior economist at BLS.

Great Question - @nytimes.com? @washingtonpost.com? @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy ? @nbcnews.com ? What's the answer?

Pritzker: "It's cheating. Donald Trump is a cheater. He cheats on his wives. He cheats at golf. And now he's trying to cheat the American people out of their votes."

IRS commissioner’s removal reportedly over clash on undocumented immigrant data https://twp.ai/4ip3Vr

Hello journalists. If you report this you gotta say that under the Constitution he has no power to do it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

"Unlike the left, we don't believe in erasing history" says the guy renaming ships and purging any mention of like the navajo code talkers, tuskegee airmen, black medal of honor winners, etc

Narrator: He will never be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

😳

Pretty much sums it up.

Reminded again today, with shock, that those of us who predicted the breakage of our democracy weren't overreacting, we were overly optimistic.

Trump’s first BLS Commissioner, Bill Beach, calls today’s firing groundless and dangerous. www.friendsofbls.org/updates/2025...

"There is absolutely no chance that the BLS commissioner manipulated the jobs and unemployment data to hurt Donald Trump," a former labor official says.

I thought we had a deficit spending problem that made us cancel all cancer research

“The hunger in Gaza is an urgent moral crisis,” the editorial board writes. “Israel’s often reckless administration of its war and occupation have helped create this emergency, and it has a unique power to alleviate it. It must do so.”

Love this

Y'ALL. PBS is in trouble and they need our support. Public television is important and I shudder to think of what our society would be without it. They've vowed that they're not going anywhere, but they'll need help. Use the link below to subscribe (it's free!) www.pbs.org/newshour/new...

Question everything.

News outlets keep calling this a 15% tariff ‘deal’ with Europe. But before Trump, the rate was 0%. That’s not a deal, it’s a massive tax hike on American families. Say it clearly and stop misleading readers.

NO matter what a known liar and Epstein’s pimp of underage girls says to get a lighter prison sentence… If Trump’s name wasn’t in the files, they would be released by now: as he promised. #GhislaineMaxwell #TrumpEpstein

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Such a travesty

This is not getting enough attention.

This is some insane Soviet bullshit. The idea that any American news organization would agree to something like this is unconscionable. I don't know how any self-respecting journalist could work for an outlet that's doing this.

Hey look alive folks. This is horrifying.
