Wow, absolute chaos just broke out in the House as Republicans refused to bring another war Powers resolution up for a vote. Mike Johnson has adjourned everyone and sent them home for the holidays. This is wild. Republicans are imploding. Nice work pissing them off Rep. McGovern!

People need to stop rounding the amount of Trump’s Insurrectionist Slush Fund. Spelling out the exact amount - $1.776B - shows how unserious & trolly this thing is.

Rep. Ogles: "Muslims don’t belong in American society," Rep. Fine on "mainstream Muslims": "I think you should destroy them first" Sen. Tuberville: "The enemy is inside the gates". Rep. Roy posted "No more Muslims" on his social media. None of them censured by Democrats. No penalty.

If Democrats had the political instincts and media machine Republicans do, in 48 hours 95% of Americans would know Andrew Paul Johnson's name and be LIVID that the government is getting ready to give him some of your tax money

This is what happens when you have a national environment where it is acceptable at the highest levels to claim that Muslims are incompatible with the fabric of US society

The $1.776B “anti-weaponization fund” announced today is a theft of our tax dollars and a fraud on the American people. Congress needs to step up and block this settlement before Trump helps himself to the rest of our tax dollars. Please share and help sound the alarm. youtube.com/shorts/4bnF4...

“January 6 was a false flag operation made up of undercover FBI deep-state operatives to whom we will now be awarding large reparations.”

May 18, 1980 | 8:32 a.m. The ground shudders. A M5.1 quake hits beneath Mount St. Helens. Weakened critically, the north face bulge collapses outward. Within seconds, a pyroclastic density surge bursts through the disintegrating slope. The clock strikes zero.

When a federal agency tasked with protecting all Americans decides to mandate a specific religious worldview, it ceases to protect democracy and begins to threaten it.

Marching in Alabama… same bridge, same fight, different century… (H/T @memphisforall )

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

Virginians, scream this into the ear of your state reps until they restore the districts you voted for.

The reason people keep doing crimes for Trump is that you get rewarded for doing them, congratulations to Colorado's Dem governor for making sure we get more people trying to overturn elections on his behalf bsky.app/profile/kyle...

Israel is suing the NYT to try to bury NYT's documentation of the IDF's systematic and psychotically brutal rape and human rights violations. Here is the free to read gift article 🎁 of what sadistic amoral IDF war criminals don't want you to read: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/o...

As someone pointed out to me offline, this is a really funny typo in Alito’s mifepristone dissent: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

The President is telling the IRS to give him $10 billion rn

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

@merkley.senate.gov @wyden.senate.gov Court reform now. It’s table stakes.

The Purcell Principle means it always too late for courts to fix something racist and never too late for states to do something racist

Absolutely outrageous Virginia Supreme Court invalidated redistricting referendum approved by the voters when voters haven’t been able to weigh in on a single gerrymander passed in red states

Other nations are building high speed rail and renewable infra. We're rolling coal and bringing back Jim Crow.🤡 Racists were like, "Yeah the future has technology and medical miracles and the end of armed conflicts and sustainable agriculture, but Black people have things! We don't like that!"

Excited to live in a country where you can mail someone a handgun but not an abortion pill

A perfect illustration of the dire results from the inadequate response to Jan 6.

We know that if and when Iran reopens the strait, Trump and every bad faith actor in his orbit will pretend to believe Trump is vindicated—and that really, only he could’ve triumphed so exquisitely. It’s thus very important to set the bar now: a humiliating, pointless, eternally discrediting defeat.

Officials at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration have blocked the publication of several studies supporting the safety of widely used vaccines against Covid-19 and shingles in recent months, the New York Times reported on Tuesday.

Non-antidepressant things that would lessen depression, though (list not exhaustive): Trump's removal from office, RFK Jr.'s removal from power, Democratic landslide in November, Court expansion, restoration of a functional Voting Rights Act, holding Trump Admin officials & ICE agents accountable

Senate Republicans are now proposing using $1 billion in taxpayer money for the security upgrades in Trump's East Wing project.

An acquaintance who works at the Met told me that proceeds from the Met Gala flow almost entirely back to the Costume Institute, they barely benefit the museum as a whole. What’s more, the rest of the museum has to put everything on hold for the weeks leading up to the gala to help prepare. 1/2

The man who overmedicates with steroids and cocaine would like you to know that your anti-depressants and other necessary prescriptions are in his cross-hairs.

Abortion Pill Thrown Into Air And Caught In Mouth

Trump asked Sean Hannity to serve as his intermediary in getting John Fetterman to switch parties, according to Politico. Hannity then conveyed Trump's offer of "more money than he ever dreamed of" to Fetterman the next day on his podcast. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

It’s a 5 alarm fire. Blue states have to stand up. They are our last line of defense against a free fall into full-on technofascism. 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

A complete WASTE of taxpayer dollars. Pete Hegseth and Kid Rock need to be INVESTIGATED NOW! While Trump is ripping health care away, how much did this crap cost us???

Warnock: "I know that there are those who are tired of the remedy. I'm tired of racism. I think it's a strange position to be more concerned about the medicine than you are about the malady."

So mifepristone can’t be sent through the mail but misoprostol can? Obvs I’m glad about the latter & I have no doubt they’ll get around to banning miso too, but how do they explain this inconsistency?

This is an abortion ban

The Fifth Circuit just told millions of women that three judges know better than the FDA, their doctors, and 25 years of evidence. They don't. This restriction on medication abortion is a nationwide abortion restriction, full stop. I have no intention of letting this stand.

More accurate estimates found that Trump’s war on Iran has cost $50B. That money would fund a year of the ACA subsidies that he and the GOP have refused to extend — with $20B left over. Instead, millions of Americans have dropped their insurance because they can’t afford it. Priorities.

What the everloving fuck

John Lewis had John Roberts' number from the jump: takebackthecourt.substack.com/p/john-lewis...

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.

5 out of the 6 Supreme Court Justices who gutted the Voting Rights Act were nominated by a president who came into office having lost the popular vote. 70% of Americans support the John Lewis VRA. The Supreme Court is historically unpopular. It is not a democratically legitimate institution.

A black girl born today will have fewer reproductive and voting rights than her grandmother.

“The supreme court betrayed Black voters, they betrayed America, and they betrayed our democracy.” - Barack Obama

John Roberts, Grand Wizard of the Supreme Court

Absolutely! Two can play at this game.

This short film about one night in one city documents racial profiling and a host of other abuses by ICE using body cam footage. Issued as a video opinion by full editorial board of the New York Times, it is utterly bone-chilling. Gift link. Please take the time to watch it, then call your reps.
