If the sub didn’t split, you must acquit!

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106. 12 days of work in 106 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

The Mississippi state legislature begs to differ. 😏

#EndHate before it’s too late. 😔

This is the 16th strike of its kind this year — and at least 66 people are dead because of the government’s rash actions. These extrajudicial strikes are illegal under both international and domestic law.

Rapidly diminishing synapses, confusing continents and countries.

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

“Donald Trump will deny that this was a referendum on him. But it was a referendum on him and his disgraceful regime that revels in cruelty and ignores the wants and needs of real people.” www.americaamerica.news/p/snapshot-w...

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody. Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

Remember what Cheney did I do He also set the table for the Trump dictatorship with his “Unitary Executive” bullshit

Oh, you simple-minded, wheezing gargoyle . . . you were very much on the ballot. You are blamed for the shutdown. You are blamed from SNAP shutting down. You are blamed for a bad economy. And numerous people interviewed last night mentioned that seeing the East Wing destroyed motivated them to vote.

Bad day at the office for the Solicitor-General. SCOTUS is now hearing from the other side arguing the whole shebang is unconstitutional.

Listening to Neal Katyal argue in front of the SCOTUS re: scope of presidential powers. He's now discussing Tariffs. He is a rock star! Confident, articulate, Knowledgeable, prepared!

Chief Justice Roberts is out. Says the major questions doctrine pretty clearly applies here; the tariffs simply can't survive that. Looks like five pretty clear votes against Trump. And we STILL haven't gotten to Gorsuch...

folks in the background all look 110% convinced

FYI @klobuchar.senate.gov @smith.senate.gov @kenmartin.bsky.social

Along with everything else, Trump admitting the shutdown led to a bloodbath for Republicans should at an absolute minimum lead Dem Senators to shelve their apparent plan to prematurely cave. He's admitting he and the GOP are in a weak position, Dems. Exploit that!

TRUMP TANKING FAST Trump’s approval among voters under 30 yrs old was positive 3 when he returned to Office. Now it's minus 40. Among Hispanic & black Americans, which began negative, have also plummeted. Every state, save Idaho, has moved against Trump. share.google/FfUKNMhiq9ht...

Good morning to these future governors!

Universal swing in action: "What we saw last night was a directional shift toward Democrats in 99.8% of counties that held partisan elections." www.gelliottmorris.com/p/seven-data...

That Texas gerrymander isn’t looking so smart anymore, now is it? Oops.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

Traditional American politics is premised on the notion that sometimes you lose and sometimes you win and you have to deal with that. But Trumpism is premised on the notion that any result where you don’t win is illegitimate, unlawful, fraud, criminal. You can’t negotiate with people like that.

Democrats just ran the table, winning the marquee races -- NJ and VA sweeps, NYC mayor, CA prop, PA Supreme Court -- and lower-profile races in red and purple states across the nation. If the media you're reading or watching paints this as anything but a massive win, stop reading or watching them.

really important element of this basically total victory is that it puts the fear of god in republican incumbents and may bring the redistricting push to a total halt

OMG Mamdani opens his speech with a quote from no less than Eugene Debs: “I see a dawn of a better day for humanity.” 😭😭😭

“You campaign in poetry,” Mario Cuomo said after he was first elected governor of New York. “You govern in prose.” Forty years on, Andrew Cuomo has campaigned for mayor in leaden, lazy, ugly prose his father would surely hate. While @ZohranKMamdani.bsky.social campaigned in inspiring poetry.

Once again before the idiots keep saying oh because trans this or that this was done or not done. A reminder. Straight people have produced the most LGBTQ+ people in the existence of humanity. The logic comes down to explaining how racist people see the world. See Receipts...

Part of me would like to believe that Brett Kavanaugh was in a gnarly mood today because he knows he bears moral responsibility for all these violent kidnappings of US citizens. But probably he was just trying to do the bidding of someone who might pay off his debts.

For one of my final stories with @wired.com, I teamed up with @peggylowe.bsky.social at KCUR to dig through a Kansas City, KS police hack Inside were some of the most disturbing misconduct files I’ve ever read—and a secret list of cops the department said couldnt be trusted Here are a few of them:

Dewayne Davis is a very good choice Minneapolis!

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103. 12 days of work in 103 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

We have reached peak "NATO expansion propaganda". Jeffrey Sachs claims he was personally told by someone he didn't meet that there was a broken promise to a person who says it wasn't made.

God knows how many times this has happened: Zero. Much like Vance lying about Haitian immigrants eating people's pets, this is 100% racist bullshit being spewed by an unabashed white nationalist. Congrats to everyone who patronizes the Nazi bar he runs.

... Yet we, as a society and as a nation, largely refuse to discuss his mental condition—at least publicly. The accelerating destruction that he has wrought, and will continue to wreak, is on all of us—especially those who choose to look the other way.

1/8 I’ve spent the last 3 days tracking right-wing influencers morning and night. What I found is a machine, not a movement. Every day follows the same rhythm of fear, outrage, and punishment. It’s emotional conditioning disguised as news. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

OK, regardless of source, credit where due: That's a great headline.

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office. Why the delay from Mike Johnson? Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

Had. To. Share. After. Seeing. On. Facebook 😢

Private equity firms are buying manufactured home parks and jacking up the rent. Over 180,000 Minnesotans live in these homes, and they’re organizing to fight back. Give this clip a watch and tell your legislators to support the Manufactured Home Residents Bill of Rights!

A relevant reminder of what used to be America's promise to the world. #ProudBlue

When we were deployed, some Afghans risked their lives to help us. Now Trump wants to send them out to be killed by the Taliban. It’s a disgrace, a betrayal, and a decision that endangers future US troops.

Your daily reminder that Trump absolutely can fund SNAP through contingency funds. He absolutely can prevent 42 million Americans — including 20 million children — from going hungry next month. He is choosing not to. Don’t let him lie his way out of this.
