"In reality, if public authority were to begin delivering again, voters wouldn’t be so drawn to Trump. And that’s the political tragedy of progressivism’s unending effort to box government in: It compels people who might support the Democratic agenda to vote the other way."

Does this sound like someone who regrets her actions? Release her statement in which you claim she expresses remorse, @colorado.gov You have commuted the sentence of someone who plans to engage in further election tampering.

governor brainworms

We need different Democrats. The ones we have aren't up for a fight. Fuck you Jared.

“The Constitutions […] is intended to be the charter of a self-governing and free people, not a secret code that can only be interpreted by those who have been read into the proper mystery cult. The Constitution belongs to us, more than it does the faculty of Yale Law School.”

It’s never gonna stop being funny/sad how absolutely *terrified* conservative men are of just like… cities.

“Democrats decided to take it lying down.”

"In the name of 'interpreting' a law designed to safeguard the voting rights of African Americans, the Court will have put minority voters exactly where they were when the first 'Redemption' brought an end to Reconstruction: relegated to the sidelines of democracy."

Today's Dems aren't built for the fight they're in. Need new Dems.

🏒 Hoping for some MadKinnon tonight. #Avs

folks, the idea is out there. Virginia Democrats are talking about it. this could happen. gift link to the NYT: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/10/u...

It is wrong and criminal for government agents to kidnap someone, send them to die in a concentration camp, and disappear them, regardless of immigration status. But it's still worth noting she has a green card. The government doesn't even pretend this is about deporting undocumented people.

This is a party asking to die

the most anti free speech administration in this country’s history

The most insulting thing in all this is having to pretend there's any reasoning going on. It's just a fundamental principle of all these justices and the Republican Party that the Consitution isn't written to give Black people power, which requires ignoring or twisting the 14th and 15th amendments.

this is the closest I've ever come to actually suggesting a "one neat trick" suggestion for anything, but I'm so serious here. the Virginia Constitution gives the legislature the power to set retirement ages for judges "REGARDLESS OF THE TERM TO WHICH ELECTED OR APPOINTED." make it 54 right now.

"Callais reaches something deeper, about constitutional democracy itself: about whether the Constitution ... means what elected branches say it means. The Court has declared that the branch of government most accountable to the people cannot legislate its way toward a more inclusive democracy."

yes. change the statute on which this decision turned and redistrict according to the legitimacy conferred by the people of the state

virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

they’re calling it “Roberts redistricting,” and someone doesn’t like it

Patel: the story is not true and also we need to polygraph the people who leaked the story

A classic

trump and hegseth are presiding over one of the great Ls in american military history.

Kash Patel is investigating who leaked all that TOTALLY UNTRUE stuff about him to Sarah Patrick at The Atlantic www.ms.now/news/fbi-inv...

At its core, the MAGA project is and always has been an attempt by the former ruling class of the Jim Crown South to convert Jim Crow authoritarianism from a regional institution into a national autocracy.

The best thing John Roberts has ever done is prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the Supreme Court is a political institution and we should dramatically reduce its power over our government.

By building lots of new apartments, rents for the Average Class C Unit are now cheaper than mandated "affordable" units in Denver

☃️ Snows really coming down now. If this keeps up, we're getting dumped on.

Dems thus need to make a different kind of argument than the one their quants want them to make: that All the country’s problems—its economic ones, yes, but the whole pall that’s been cast over it for the better part of a decade now—are Trump’s fault. www.offmessage.net/p/trump-fasc...

On its third attempt tonight, Marblehead Town Meeting approved an “MBTA Communities–compliant” district largely centered on the 125-year-old Tedesco Country Club, meeting 3A requirements on paper while all but assuring no new housing would be built. This comment says it all.

📝 Loving the Stanley Cup second round so far - a 9-6 shootout with the Avs on top and the Eastern Conference Semifinals looking an awful lot like the Adams Division of yore.

I was not expecting this much scoring between the Avs and Wild

I'm loving this Eastern Conference lineup - it's like the 90s. Montreal v Buffalo and Hartford v Philly

Yes. The text of the 14th and 15th Amendments explicitly gives the power to decide how to enforce these amendments to Congress. The Civil Rights Movement was an attempt to enforce the Reconstruction amendments. By undoing the work of the movement, you are undoing the results of the Civil War.

"What if Ken Martin were to claim CBS News interfered in the 2026 election by editing down Trump’s interview, no less than it interfered in the 2024 election by editing down Harris’s?" Yes, Martin should weigh in. The same with Dems in Congress. Holding Ellison & Weiss accountable is essential.

By gutting the Voting Rights Act, the Supreme Court is killing the Second Reconstruction. The first Reconstruction shows how Congress should respond. Me and Daphna Renan in the NYT on the tools we have to save democracy from a hostile Court.

this needs to extend to everything, including for example filing the exact same bill shit lawsuit at 60 Minutes for editing trumps interview as trump filed over the biden interview

looking forward to Oh No The National Debt becoming the single most pressing issue for the national media the second a Democrat takes office again, as is tradition

LIVE omg too good

Congrats to the Sabres for winning their first playoff series since Alex Tuch was 10 years old!

Bring on the Wild

The "reactionary colorblindess" of the right-wing justices has reached its logical conclusion in finding that it is racist NOT to let Louisiana—and any other state for that matter—discriminate on the basis of race in voting. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Racism is over says the Supreme Court, which you can tell because it took literally a matter of minutes after they gutted the Voting Rights Act for Republicans in the South to start moving to make sure Black people in their states get no representation in Congress

i was told by john roberts and sam alito that racism is over so i won't worry about white republicans in the south jumping over themselves to end black political representation wherever they can

This is correct. There is no future of democratic self government in the US with an unreformed Supreme Court. The Court is riddled with corruption and abuses of power and rooting out that corruption is a sine qua non of civic democracy in the United States.

it’s simple. Dems need to 1. prepare retaliatory gerrymanders in every blue state now that the VRA has been overturned 2. pack the court (and prosecute Thomas/alito) in 2029 I will only even *consider* primary candidates who support both of the above going forward

Another situation in which the presumption of regularity regarding the government is leading to unfair consequences for those outside the government.

I talked to Jamie Raskin about his explosive exchange with CNN's Dana Bash. "The media should understand that the survival of the free press is at stake right now," he tells me. "There is only one party in America trying to censor and control the press.” New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2095...
