I encourage states to review the text of Fuck You v. Make Me

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is once again able to walk out of court and return to his family. Federal Judge Xinis’ protections remain in place for Kilmar. This victory is thanks to the power of community organizing and all of you who have stood up for justice. #Fight4Kilmar

There are few things more difficult than departing from meeting with a client in I.C.E. detention. Wasn’t even permitted to speak with her because I didn’t have the funds to pay associated fees beforehand. To be clear, this is illegal. The Right to Counsel is clear. But the Rule of Law is dead. 🇺🇸

A U.S. soldier was sentenced to 17 months in prison after a military jury convicted him of abusive sexual contact and assault involving a female soldier at Camp Humphreys, an Army base 40 miles south of Seoul. www.stripes.com/theaters/asi...

Farmers voted for Trump at 77% clip across 3 elections. Something about sowing and reaping.

(10) When the reckoning comes (and it will), our sleeping watchmen will be less culpable than the creeping burglars, but not without sin. It matters to speak up now about this massive enterprise of climate denial fraud and dark money corruption.

Art is a powerful way to explore complex problems, and I am so proud to showcase our local talent. Congratulations to our artists!

EXCLUSIVE TONIGHT 🚨You're not going to want to miss this...

Gas prices in America are up more than 50% since the Iran War started. Californians are paying $6.16 a gallon. Instead of doing anything about it, Trump is asking for $1 billion taxpayer dollars to fund his luxury ballroom. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

"A federal appeals court has ruled that the Trump administration must continue allowing members of Congress to inspect immigration detention facilities without advance notice, ruling unanimously..." www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/u...

This spring, turnout in the California city of Whittier doubled from recent city elections. A slate of challengers endorsed by immigrant advocacy groups and the local Democratic Party swept local contests, flipping the city council to a liberal majority.

The "American Dream" is being sold back to you on high-interest debt.

they should literally campaign on this.

SCOTUS Voting Rights Act opinion based on faulty data. Kevin Morris, a researcher at the Brennan Center for Justice: “In zero out of the last three presidential elections, did Black turnout come anywhere close to parity.Alito’s claim is simply not factual.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

So. A judge said, "turn it over", and voila!.. the US District Court of MN got it. Wait. That means if the MN state police had just filed a lawsuit when the FBI/DOJ refused it to them... How long ago was the murder? 4 months. And for a different case. www.startribune.com/federal-gove...

@deadlinewh.bsky.social Big Heileman fan here but that last comment was so out of bounds for so many reasons and it wasn’t even his own original humor. That should be 30 days off the show. 30 days

US House Democrats will hold public hearing on Epstein files controversy, with testimony from Epstein survivors, on Tuesday in Palm Beach, Florida

Y’all, this is important.

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...

My 8yo asked if I would post something to Bluesky for her, then grabbed a piece of paper and made this So here is your advice for the day:

On this National Day of Prayer, we'd like to remind everyone that MAGA Republicans are the biggest bunch of hypocrites this country has ever seen.

I used to have political convictions but then I got scolded by John Roberts. That’s an important part of his job. Now I see that it’s time for me to listen and learn.

We're building a list of every prominent Republican credibly accused of a violent crime since 2000 with almost 375 added so far.

Stephen Miller can go fuck himself, the weird little jockey prick. Pee-Wee German doesn't get to dictate who protests and doesn't. We will ALL join our marginalized brothers and sisters in fighting fascism and doing everything possible to end this white nationalist MAGA nightmare.

IT’S TIME Dear California gov candidates, 🚨 There are 61 candidates in this race. SIXTY ONE! That’s how we hand the general election to TWO Republicans. If you’re still in single digits, the window’s closed. If you care about the Democratic Party, do the right thing. Drop out. Be loud about it.

The fire fatality rate for occupants of the hideous Cybertruck is 13 times higher than was that of the infamous Ford Pinto. You might want to share this data with any owners of these rolling death traps you might encounter in your daily roaming about.

“Vogue has so much rizz, and no money. And the Bezoses have just so much money and not a lot of rizz. It's a marriage made in heaven.” @profgalloway.com and @karaswisher.bsky.social on why Jeff and Lauren Bezos belong at the Met Gala. Catch the full conversation in tomorrow's episode.

We need to elect leaders that understand this Court majority of partisan right-wing ideologues will knock down any significant strides to help working people. I will fight for Supreme Court reform including an expansion to 13 seats and an enforceable code of conduct that prohibits external income.

I’ll be damned. The Pulitzer board did it. Good on them

In the interest of national unity I want Jimmy Kimmel to host a roast battle between himself & Ted Cruz, where Kimmel gives half his writers to Cruz so he can legitimately shred Kimmel with barbs, and they go back-and-forth on equal footing and just have fun and then shake hands. @jimmykimmel.com

In cases such as the Trump v. CASA, Inc., the Supreme Court reiterated that district courts CANNOT issue nationwide rulings. Sadly, the odds of the Supreme Court using its notorious "shadow docket" to strike down this ruling by a lower court are very slim indeed. The Supremes are playing politics.

Jeffries says everything is on the table legislatively to deal with the Supreme Court: In the new Congress, we’re going to have to do something about this Supreme Court, and let me be very clear: everything is on the table.

“TRUMP mentioned something to the effect of, “Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be.” TRUMP unzipped his pants and put head, “down to his penis”. [NAME REDACTED] TRUMP and EPSTEIN sometimes used the terms “fresh meat”, “untainted” and “not jaded” while referring to girls.”

Absent a sharp deterioration in the job market or decline in inflation, the fed will not be cutting in June. Moreso, if the easing bias is not removed, and the Fed doesn’t cut, Warsh could have four dissents at his first meeting or more. Peg the presidents first critical tweet of Warsh for June 17?

Congress is given the power to enforce the 15th Amendment’s ban on racial discrimination in voting through “appropriate legislation.” Today 6 Justices took that power away from Congress based purely on their desire to help the GOP. Everything else is beside the point. SCOTUS is not a court of law.

Powell: "After my term ends on May 15, I will continue to serve as a governor for a period of time to be determined"

Fox News is literally celebrating this already

Better put the car in Park. We’re gonna be here for a while.

In Trump's America, one of these images is an expression of free speech by a "patriot" while the other is a dangerous threat that divides the nation and thus deserves a 10-month investigation. Further proof that Trump's America is an authoritarian state bereft of justice and the rule of law.
