We are in the worst possible hands imaginable with RFK Jr. running HHS and the guy who told people to drink bleach during COVID back in the White House.

John Roberts claims the justices aren’t “political actors” Spare us the sanctimony. By destroying VRA in middle of election the court put its thumb on scale of midterms, turbocharging Trump’s gerrymandering war & imperiling majority-Black districts across South www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

"The Callais decision has been catastrophic in substance and timing. The Roberts Court not only dismantled the country’s most important civil rights law, but put its thumb on the scale of the 2026 elections, turbocharging Trump’s gerrymandering arms race" www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

CNN: “Tennessee is the first state to pass new congressional districts since a US Supreme Court ruling last week significantly weakened federal Voting Rights Act protections for minorities.” www.cnn.com/2026/05/07/p...

From tyler merritt : “Racism with paperwork. And what’s wild is you smile and quote scripture while doing it.” @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn

The Supreme Court’s War on the Voting Rights Act Sends America Backwards | It took 60 years for Black Americans to get representation in Congress proportionate to their numbers. Now we’re likely to backslide.

Steve Hilton wants California doctors extradited to Louisiana and prosecuted for performing legal abortions. He's also pro-ICE raids, pro-Trump's war, and pro-kicking Californians off Medi-Cal. No one this extreme belongs anywhere near the governor's office.

Been saying for ages Trump acts like a trust fund kid spending down an account he imagines is bottomless and has no concept of how to refill. Roberts OUGHT to know better, but seems not to.

🚨BREAKING: The NAACP filed an emergency lawsuit Thursday seeking to block Tennessee’s new congressional gerrymander, arguing the GOP’s rushed effort to dismantle the state’s lone majority-Black district. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Veteran television news executives have raised concerns about how bad things could get for CBS News and its once-prestigious Evening News broadcast, and are placing the blame on Weiss’ leadership. “This isn’t what a turnaround looks like. This is what a train wreck looks like,” one executive said.

What the fuck is Pete Hegseth talking about? 😂🤣👇

Ahh, yes, the unpopular decisions like “black people don’t deserve political representation,” or “rich people should be able to control everything,” or “women shouldn’t be in charge of their bodies.” Truly a man committed to justice.

The party in the White House always loses seats in the midterms. So this one decided not to play that game. They're changing who votes, which votes count, and where the lines are drawn-in broad daylight. New piece. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Democrat Cait Conley - who served our country for nearly 2 decades, 16 years of which was in uniform as a combat veteran - calls out Mike Lawler for his disgusting lies about her service. Meanwhile Lawler spent his youth lining his pockets as an oil and gas lobbyist. The choice is clear, #NY17.

This is the new gerrymandered map the Tennessee House Speaker — a Republican — says that Republicans will try to pass. The lone Tennessee Democrat in Congress would be gerrymandered out of a seat.

Can’t believe the GOP is redistricting the entire country just to prevent the release of the Epstein files. Tennessee has released their new redistricting map.

Melania Trump praised her husband in a speech today, saying his "empathy" rises above the office. So of course I edited it slightly to show how non-existent his empathy really is. #DonaldTrump

“I’m not privy to those demographics”🤔 William Lamberth is laughed at by the audience as he pretends not to know Memphis is a majority black city 🙃 as he pushes a law to delete the last sentence of the law that makes what they’re doing to Memphis blatantly illegal

It's impossible to imagine two more morally polar human beings than Donald Trump and Pope Leo.

We are watching the worst assault on multiracial democracy since the Pettus bridge. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/06/u...

The entire right wing ecosystem, from politics to media to business, is just for-profit contrarianism. The formula is: they name a real shortcoming of the imperfect status quo and once they got you they sell you horseshit that's much, much worse

New details have been released about Palm Beach International Airport, recently renamed to Donald J. Trump International Airport. Their new contract requires the airport to purchase Trump merchandise from Trump's own licensor, directly violating the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution.

funniest thing i’ve ever seen

Fox News hosts are now openly advocating for little kids to be mocked on the school playground if they are overweight - essentially saying it should be public policy. "It is a part of the MAHA movement, this is part of the, a central part of the MAHA movement." www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/dis...

A new investigation reveals Republican officials in Georgia covered up a massive forever chemical leak for nearly 20 years. The state ignored warnings of "staggeringly high" PFAS levels in drinking water in 2008, 2023, 2016, and 2019, refusing to warn the public or punish the companies responsible.
