This is absolutely outrageous. SCOTUS reinstated Texas gerrymander 15 weeks before primary because they claimed it was too close to election to block it but now allowing Alabama to gerrymander one week before primary after trial court found map was intentionally discriminatory against Black voters

This, the US Supreme Court has explained to us, is what it looks like to finally live in a land free of racial discrimination. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/u... South Carolina is 26% black. Louisiana is 33%. Mississippi is 37%.

Air traffic Control is in crisis, planes are crashing, TSA lines are around the block, airlines are going out of business. And this fox news bozo went on a seven month-road trip while we were paying him to be transportation secretary? Do I have this right?

BREAKING: The Virginia Supreme Court has voted to overturn the results of the state’s special election. This decision silences the voices of Virginians who approved an updated congressional map that levels the playing field ahead of the midterms. The fight continues.

Rep. Roger Williams on the SAVE America Act: "We want the right people voting"

“Use AI to brainstorm but not to write.” “Use AI to help you outline but not to write.” These are commonly proposed as “ethical” ways for undergrad students to use AI, but I’m sorry, brainstorming & outlining are just as integral to writing as the actual construction of sentences.

“We’re seeing the greatest purge of Black power since the era of Reconstruction.”

UPDATE: Today Tennessee Republicans will strip representation from majority Black Memphis and dilute it with white power, stretching their districts to cherry red Williamson County, the richest in the state — making Tennessee 9-0 Republicans. While insisting it isn’t about race.

Why is it always the Presidency? Why can’t they do this for like a Governors race first?

Can't fix racist maps because the election is only a year away, but you can stop an election after voting starts to make the maps more racist. Good thing racism is over. 🤬

It happened again. The most corrupt administration in history.

When the cartoon replaces all the words ...

Trump’s net worth has nearly tripled in his second term, reaching $6.5 billion. His administration is the most brazenly self-enriching in American history. My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart.

How is this being treated as normal? A Republican governor is declaring a state of emergency to cancel n ongoing election for Congress. If you think this is ends with redistricting, you are not paying attention.

Trump's war in Iran has already cost Americans $21.7 billion more on gas alone. Let that sink in.

A reminder that both Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris literally warned everyone that SCOTUS was on the ballot. They were right yet again.

We must call this for what it is: voter suppression that will silence Black and brown voters. The magnitude of this decision cannot be understated — it guts the Voting Rights Act and its very purpose of protecting all voices. Every American deserves an equal vote.

WaPo reports Louisiana’s governor will announce on Friday that he is suspending the House primaries where people have already started voting and redraw the map; I’d expect them to go for an all-Republican map and eliminate both majority-Black districts, not just one.

Its been sanitized out of our history books as being nothing but marches and been repackaged as TV movies about very good white people™️ helping things out alongside sad black organizational and milquetoast radical teddy bears

Listen this time white people.

“We all need to play by the same set of rules” - @aoc.bsky.social

The ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good still has his job. There has been zero accountability.

Today’s Supreme Court ruling guts the Voting Rights Act and turns back the clock on the foundational promise of equality and fairness in our election systems.

OVERNIGHT: Trump Admin files latest court motion in support of White House ballroom It reads like a Trump Truth Social post, with random capitalization, accusations the plaintiffs are "very bad for our country", suffer "Trump Derangement Syndrome", etc storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"a deranged man with a gun means the president should be able to build his gaudy ballroom" is the insane position of the republican party of america

Texas tech now bans students from writing about LGBTQ issues in any form. Mentions of gender identity, orientation etc in textbooks must be skipped. Deafening silence so far from all the brave heterodox free speech absolutists www.erininthemorning.com/p/texas-tech...

American Christians when they talk about the Pope

“'I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life,' the congresswoman said, fighting back tears. "She described the way people were laying down inside as “like sardines.” “'It is frightening in there,' she said. 'It is disgusting'..." azmirror.com/2026/04/10/i...

Helluva coincidence. "That former federal prosecutor was John J. Kelly, ... who served as the U.S. attorney for the District of New Mexico from 1993 to 2000." “No federal investigation of Zorro Ranch was ever opened during Kelly’s tenure.” www.rawstory.com/jeffrey-epst...

Melania: “I never had a relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell.”

To figure out how to boost student voting, colleges have relied on a study about campus voter registration and turnout rates. A Trump administration investigation has cut schools off from new data. n.pr/3OrRHPJ

The Trump administration has announced it plans to dismantle the US Forest Service. All 10 regional offices are set to close in addition to over 50 research labs.

JUST NOW: House Democrats were set to try to pass a resolution to halt Trump's war with Iran — but the Republican presiding over the session, Chris Smith of New Jersey, gaveled out without calling on Rep. Glenn Ivey, who going to introduce the resolution. Democrats shouted in protest.

The Trump administration threatened to kill the pope to the Vatican's ambassador and install a antipope in the US.

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY! The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

If Trump follows through with his genocidal threat, EVERYONE in the government is to blame, including those who “oppose” Trump but do nothing to stop him.

Q: You message has moved from 'the war is coming to an end' to 'we're gonna be bombing Iran to the stone ages.' So which is it? TRUMP: Can't tell you. I don't know

Kim: Three weeks of the war in Iran could have funded vision, hearing, and dental coverage for every senior in America on Medicare. I mean, it just gives you a sense of the trade-off.

According to the Times:

Just wait until these eyesore monstrosities want to come to your neighborhood. Goodbye trees. Expect to hear a constant, electrical humming, warmer temperatures and higher energy bills. Fight like hell to keep data centers out of your area.

Both of Marco Rubio’s parents were born in Cuba. Marco Rubio was born in Miami in 1971, before they became US citizens. He is a US citizen because he was born in the US under birthright citizenship. #Hypocrites

Absurd. These people are in some of the highest positions and they need to think it through??

Still can’t get over the House GOP rejecting a 100-0 bill from the Senate to fund TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA and… just going on vacation. Complete abdication of duty.

Now get out and vote in the midterms like your life depends on it, because it does. #NoKings

Pete Hegseth called them “narco terrorists” and the official statement from the Trump administration called it a training camp for drug traffickers. It was a dairy farm. They murdered Ecuadorian farmers. With our money. The War on Drugs has always been a fascist plot to kill Black and Brown people

“Mind-blowing corruption”

counted 25 ICE officers (most with ERO vests) during my 26-minute wait in the LGA Terminal C Touchless line this morning. every one of them was either standing doing nothing or slowly walking the length of the line doing nothing. at least four were in masks.

New Mexico is rising. Our investments in adult education have moved our state from 50th in the nation in 2019 to 20th today in adult education outcomes, according to new federal data. I am proud that in New Mexico, there is no wrong door to education. Learn more here: hed.nm.gov/students-par...

Dolores Huerta's statement on Cesar Chavez: “I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for... I can no longer stay silent and must share my own experiences"

HOULAHAN: Will you commit that the DoD will not deploy military personnel at polling places? HUMIRE: I reserve decisions based on the president Q: Would you do that unlawful act? HUMIRE: It would go through the same review process as every request we get from the WH Q: There's already a law
