For all the Court doomers out there: What country is Britania Uriostegui Rios in? What country is Kilmar Abrego Garcia in? What the Courts are doing *matters*. They are constraining this Presidency in significant ways. They are delivering real relief to real people.

Markwayne Mullin: Let's punish people for being sick!

Lindsey Halligan, who has never prosecuted a case in her life, indicted Comey within days after her appointment, ignoring the fact that career prosecutors found no probable cause to indict after months-long investigation. Here is our profile of Halligan:

It kinda feels like at this point it's really more a question of "on which grounds" does the case first get dismissed.

Is it bad if a sitting federal judge was (allegedly) part of a conspiracy to commit murder? It seems bad ....

And it's full of so many tells that show that the people who made this thing Actually Fucking Care. Linux OS, showing Godot during the gamedev portion, the modularity and compatibility. AND! Valve is a privately-owned company. Not beholden to shareholders & actually run by a game guy, not a $ guy.

Healthcare should be free. It’s crazy that we have to say this. The richest country in the world, we have the resources to take care of everyone. And we just…. Don’t

JFC that better draw the most fucking adverse of all possible adverse inferences. Horrific.

I think this is *generally* correct, but I do think there's a serious non-flippant case to be made for the other side. I think it's two-fold: first, I think if the GOP had caved on the filibuster it would've been a narrow cave (no filibuster for clean CR)

Do you hear the people sing?

turns out the emails we should have been reading in 2016 were from the NYT

FUCKING WILD. Out on a 7 week paid vacation, come back to the office for **ONE MEETING** and then you're heading back out on PTO.

@pfrazee.com, we really need @bsky.app to let us know why Sarah Kendzior's account was suspended and if there was a good reason—or any reason at all. Transparency is important with such high profile suspensions (but also, everyone should be informed about why they get suspended).

How it started/How it is going

SEATTLE!!! We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

“After a year spent organizing to try to convince the Democratic Party to unify and oppose this regime, here’s where I am: The time for convincing is over. We need new leadership.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social Demand that your Dem senators call on Schumer to step aside: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

We deserve a Democratic Party that is willing to fight as hard as we are. We need new leadership in this moment and to get there, we need a chorus of support for change. Tell your Democratic senators to call on Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. It’s time for drastic action.

Inspired by a @kenwhite.bsky.social post, we’re on a mission to document what government lawyers are doing, and to bring back accountability and transparency

This makes 75 deaths in 19 strikes. The president is using our armed forces to kill people suspected of drug crimes on his say so. They call it “armed conflict” because they don’t want to acknowledge it’s murder. But it’s “not hostilities” because they don’t want to ask Congress for approval.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Cannot wait until we see the last of Dick Durbin.

Van Hollen Senate Minority Leader vote when

Every “yes” vote from a Senator who is resigning should resign mid-session if there’s a blue governor to appoint their replacement. If they don’t want to be there, get the fuck out

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Primary every Senate Democrat not calling for Schumer to go

It is. Primary every Democratic Senator you can.

This moment demands fighters, not folders.

Don’t make your name synonymous with Lieberman

Caving now will teach Trump and Republicans that they can win any fight simply by threatening to cause terrible harm to regular people. no possible way that could have future adverse consequences

If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

This is part of the tragedy of a surrender now. It invites more pain and suffering by emboldening the regime. Why should they listen to a weak opposition?

I need Ellis to get fucking control of these people, because I am having a fucking hard time maintaining my opposition to the death penalty.

We will continue to fight against the Trump Administration's efforts to take food away from Wisconsin's kids, families, and seniors, and we are eager for the court to resolve this and provide certainty for families and businesses. Read more ⬇️ content.govdelivery.com/accounts/WIG...

Consistent with a court order, Wisconsin legally loaded FoodShare payments to cards. Now, the Trump Administration has spent the last 48 hours making a last-ditch effort to yank those payments from nearly 700,000 Wisconsinites, including 270,000 kids. It's pathetic.

Last night, the Trump Administration sent a letter suggesting Wisconsin should return our FoodShare payments. My response ⬇️

I hate to assign weekend work, but if you’re on the First Circuit panel you have a moral obligation to get your opinion out RIGHT THE FUCK NOW, WHY ARE WE STILL WAITING?

If have an EBT card and received SNAP benefits recently, go to a grocery store now. The Trump administration is trying to get states to claw back the money on your card. It likely won’t happen, but make sure you have a small stockpile of groceries just in case

If people are wondering what more I want a party that holds a minority in both houses of Congress, it’s this. It’s wielding power *outside* the halls of Congress. Why aren’t Democrats organizing their donors to make food bank donations? Why aren’t they organizing mass protest?

Russia’s attack on Ukraine’s critical nuclear energy infrastructure is increasing the risk of the unthinkable - a catastrophic nuclear accident at one or more nuclear power plants. The threat is very real, and it’s growing. malcontentnews.substack.com/p/russia-att...

If any of your people rely on SNAP in Wisconsin, look, if it were me, I'd tell them to get to a grocery store _tonight_ www.patreon.com/posts/143153...

The armed agents of the state that kidnapped and abused this child should be charged, arrested, tried, and be given a last meal

/2 1. Real human beings will suffer from even a brief stay. 2. The government's position is transparently dishonest and in bad faith. 3. The Supreme Court has lost any benefit of the doubt. They have lost the mandate of the heaven that is the rule of law.

This is actually a pretty standard and unremarkable move, as evidenced by Justice Jackson issuing it. But most people won't believe that for several good reasons. /1

A plea for help. 🙏 One of the lead playtesters of Blue Prince, Iggy, has polycystic kidney disease and has only a few months to find a living kidney donor. His story, contact and donor information can all be found on iggyland.org Please help us in sharing his story and getting the word out.💙

LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR: DOJ DID ALL OF THIS TO TRY AND STOP PAYMENTS TO PEOPLE UNDER AN ANTI-HUNGER PROGRAM.

I’ve had my copy of grandmother fish waiting in my house for quite some time, and finally got to read it to my little one. Thanks Tweet for this wonderful book!
