WIN: The Utah Supreme Court dismissed the GOP’s request to block a fairer congressional map from being used in this year’s midterms. The remedial map, which remains in place, allows Democratic voters a chance to compete for representation in a state that's been marred by partisan gerrymandering.

This clown is the embodiment of militant failsonism, the center piece guy for building a notionally private sector state media organization. worst of the worst.

“I don’t have change right now. Take it out of Melanie’s G-string.”

Massie goes full beast mode today. Gets on the house floor, shreds the DOJ and starts naming names from the Epstein files.

That would have been a great observation to bring to the public somewhere around 1/07/21 as a preemptive measure. There were all of signs that Trump wasn’t a passersby in the political world…especially after attempting to overturn the election. And proceeded to scream the election was stolen! WTF!

But in a good way. 🤭

Tonight’s theme at the SOTU will be cleaning out the Swamp.

NEW: In a few hours, Trump will deliver the annual State of the Union address. As you watch tonight, ignore the pageantry. Focus on what we need to do to protect our democracy — safeguarding free and fair elections and electing a new majority in Congress, Marc Elias writes.

Sharing because it's #TwinPeaksDay and because fiction tells the truth first

If you have time to read only one news article about tonight's state of the union before the speech, I think this piece by Glenn Kessler should be it: www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

oh dear Kash Patel was using the FBI's private jet to visit his mom... "The evidence response team instead had to drive through the night amid a snowstorm..." www.ms.now/news/senator...

NEW: The State of the Union address allows the president to reflect on how the nation has become more united through their leadership. One year into his second term, Trump has instead declared war on his opposition. It’s time we put an end to it, Common Cause Virginia Kase Solomon writes.

It does seem like the planes and the pilots of all the key power ministries (to use the Russian phrase) are being monopolized by a mix of boondoggles and booty calls of the Directors and Secretaries.

Fearing a ratings embarrassment, Donald Trump announces the State of the Union will close for a two-year renovation.

NEW: Felony disenfranchisement is one of the most widespread forms of voter suppression. Virginia, a state known for being one of the harshest examples of this discriminatory practice, is close to abolishing it — and voters will have the final say this fall, @anjalienjeti.bsky.social writes.

Rubin: "There is at least one witness for whom 3 interviews with the FBI in in 2019 are missing [from the Epstein files]. What's the big deal? We can also confirm she is the same person who in a 2025 FBI presentation is identified as accusing Trump of a sexual assault when she was between 13 and 15"

SOON … Very soon.

Driving thru San Antonio, it can be breathtaking to suddenly come across the old Spanish Missions: Concepción, San José, San Juan and Espada. Read More👉 ebx.sh/6FcfHU

America is watching today, so every reporter covering tonight's State of Delusion should be questioning why 50+ pages related to a woman accusing Trump of sexual assault when she was a child are missing from the released files.

Trump falsely alleged Democrats “cheated” in the last election and escalated his push for anti-voting policies outlined in the SAVE America Act. Though the bill faces steep odds in the Senate due to the filibuster, the president has pressured Republicans to abolish the procedural tactic.

I like to give Van Orden the benefit of the doubt and suggest he has CTE and PTSD but it may very well be he's just an effing idiot

SCOOP: Sen. Padilla and Rep. Morelle demand Congress’ investigative arm to look into the White House’s creation of a website urging voters to support the suppressive SAVE America Act. The lawmakers argued the site is an unlawful use of taxpayer dollars for partisan politics by officials.

At this point, the white collar job that AI is most likely to replace and improve is Washington Post Editorial Board member. The link in the post below doesn't even go to the right editorial, that's how good they are at this.

Last week, SCOTUS ruled 6-3 that Trump’s tariffs were illegal and unconstitutional — a decision that was a vindication of the rule of law as it relates to the federal government’s taxing power. In the longer war for democracy, however, it could prove to be a setback, Marc Elias writes.

Aggressive immigration enforcement opens way for federal criminal defendants to avoid justice

They poll <$50k and over >$50k. Wish they did over $500k so people could see who still supports this guy, the Epstein Class, fundamentalists, hard-core racists, and that's pretty much it.

Tonight, during his SOTD (State of the Dictatorship) speech, the most mendacious and impaired President in world history is going to lie— NONSTOP— about anything and everything. Don’t believe a word. He will likely finish without having voiced a single truthful statement.

The US Government is like a clearinghouse for high-dollar deals, schemes and scams by a lot of DC elected and appointed officials, and oligarchs, which about 340 million people aren’t invited to participate in, yet many of whom are lawfully forced contributors to the Gov Is the system unbeatable?

Dem Attorneys General Prepare for What Seems Inevitable: Trump Election Interference talkingpointsmemo.com/where-things...

Judge Cannon ruled in Trump's favor & against releasing the Special Counsel report today. Some tortured, but important procedural history here. As with Epstein, Trump is so insistent that this report not see the light of day you have to wonder what’s in there? joycevance.substack.com/p/if-doj-is-...

Democratic lawmakers introduced a Georgia voting rights act aimed at protecting the voting rights of voters of color in the state. The bill comes as elections are under severe duress in the Peach State, and follows the FBI’s raid of a county election hub for 2020 election materials.

The SAVE America Act is uniting the GOP in the name of eradicating “noncitizen voting.” But opponents say the bill’s proof of citizenship and voter ID requirements are unnecessary burdens aimed at combatting an imaginary problem. And it’ll come at the cost of millions.
