I understand the cynicism but when someone like this finally says the right thing, we have two options: 1. Dismiss it as meaningless, walk away 2. Latch onto it as a promise we'll hold him accountable for

once again, it is great that the president is a klan-level racist

Trump will give Putin as many gifts as Putin demands. Because Trump works for Putin.

For my generation, the 1965 Voting Rights Act wasn't just a law but a statement that we were never again going backwards on race. I saw Black political power thrive in the '80s, and never thought I'd live to see the VRA get crushed What do we do now? My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/supr...

It is impossible to have a functioning democracy when one party of your two party system no longer believes in democracy and the other party still wants to work with them as if they still believed in democracy, which they don't.

Oops, somebody spilled their french fries. I hope they don't get indicted.

And I am reminded of how Martin Luther King was despairing, wondering if he had integrated his people into a “burning house.” He ended up being gunned down anyway.

Suspension of elections in order to rig them sounds like something Grant would've sent troops to quell in the 1870s.

Here’s my piece on the “now-completed demolition” of the Voting Rights Act in @thenation.com The VRA is the most important piece of legislation in American history. It more than anything is what ended American-style apartheid. And now Republicans have killed it.

Warnock on SCOTUS: No one elected this Court—to decide what kind of remedies we need in this moment. It’s really not up to the Supreme Court to say, “Well, we have reached the threshold where this issue around race and inclusion is no longer necessary.” That is not the job of the Court.

Fox Business: There’s a new poll out showing 61% of Americans feel the economy is on the wrong track. That’s up from 43% in January.

By all that is holy, if and when SCOTUS decides that birthright citizenship is protected in the Constitution, don't let the 3-3-3 numpties tell you this is a moderate, centrist court. Rejecting an a-textual stupid Hail Mary doesn't cash out to a push when it comes to eviscerating the VRA today.

This is just like when they created that Kris Kobach-led commission to finally get to the bottom of their conspiracy theory about voter fraud and couldn't find any evidence

‘Disappointed’ ‘Surprised’ ‘Betrayed’: 12 Dogs Who Were Given a Bath After Being Embraced and Told ‘It’s Time for Your Bath’

The masked ICE thug who killed Renee Good got 3 days of administrative leave. The guy who posted an anti-Trump photo of seashells faces 10 years in prison.

I would never show up to the WHCD tonight. This could be like the Red Wedding.

Y'all, it's a death cult. Do you think that one dead body is going to bother them? They are going to drink, eat and be merry anyway.

The WHCA Dinner gunman didn't seriously hurt anyone, but his actions exposed a depraved and decadent America with a president and a corrupted elite media that doesn't think a few more gunshots in a nation drenched in violence should stop a good time My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

Everything is so stupid

This is the damnedest thing about anti-white discrimination in America. It's never around when you need to find some of it. So fucking insidious.

It's difficult to properly convey just how terribly Ken Martin does in this new Pod Save America interview www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8Iw...

WTF is up with DNC Chair Ken Martin That interview with Jon Favereau he sounded like a trump administration Secretary before congress

Jon Favreau questions DNC Chair Ken Martin on why he won't release the DNC's autopsy on the 2024 election.

America has jumped the shark

You know the war is going really well when the vice president’s team wants everyone to know he opposes it. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

The idea that "86 47" is not protected free speech is so insulting that a copy of the First Amendment in the National Archives spontaneously combusted upon the filing of this indictment.

Someone ran past a metal detector and was stopped. A floor above the dinner. It was terrible it happened, and i have not seen a SINGLE PERSON in office say otherwise But they are milking all of this for all its worth. Playing themselves all to be victims all the time. It’s exhausting

“Hell no.” - @aoc.bsky.social to @pabloreports.bsky.social on taxpayers paying for Trump’s $400,000,000 ballroom

A real photo of Kid Rock addressing service members at the Pentagon today. Nice summation of where things stand in the United States.

Hasn’t whined about needing a ballroom to feel safe

Whether it's Pete Hegseth using taxpayer money to fly on Army Apache helicopters with Kid Rock or Lloyd Austin being Black, both secretaries of defense have done things the other side finds unacceptable.

Counting tomorrow, Trump will have hosted a grand total of 4 state dinners over his two terms, the fewest of any modern president. Obama had 13. Reagan had 59! But, you know, without a ballroom we won’t even have a country.

How Volodymr Zelenskyy manages to survive in a literal war without a ballroom to keep him safe is just shocking to me.

"The math only adds up if you're trying to build a police state." Miles Taylor, former DHS chief of staff, tells Rachel Maddow that the system of immigration prisons that Donald Trump wants to assemble is much bigger than the stated purpose of the prisons; unless Trump has some other use in mind.

I feel like his skills could have been put to better use at that specific point in time

AOC says we shouldn’t be using taxpayer money to build Trump’s ornate castle/ballroom while people are struggling to pay for healthcare and rent.

Um, wow.

They're really just running the Charlie Kirk playbook again.

By this same logic, Donald Trump bears direct personal responsibility for the murder of Melissa Hortman, the assault on Paul Pelosi, the guy who showed up armed at the Obamas, the attempted pipe bombing of several prominent Democrats, the January 6th rioters who assaulted cops, and many many more.

Trump and his supporters continue to push re-runs of their greatest hits from the 2020 Big Lie. "Ballot drops" are a normal part of the counting process. They only look suspicious b/c people want to believe they are... and everything looks like a conspiracy when you don't know how anything works.

He quite literally won't shut up about a White House ballroom he can stay in for safety, what are you taking about?

Not to "Actually...." here, but actually, it was the current Vice President that compared Trump to Hitler.

NEW: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis proposed a new congressional gerrymander to install a 24-4 GOP majority and replace the current 20-8 GOP map. Trump easily won 24 seats in 2024—though Biden won 2 of those & several were much bluer in 2020. Interactive map+data: davesredistricting.org/join/3049165...

It’ll be so funny watching the next Democratic President use his or her taxpayer funded office to demand that a private individual like Sean Hannity be fired. Of course, the next Democratic President won’t do that, but just imagine how Republicans would scream & whine if he or she did.

Says the same guy who demanded 6 members of Congress be hung for treason, who posted an image of President Biden kidnapped & hogtied, who celebrated Bob Mueller’s death, who posted an image of himself about to bludgeon DA Alvin Bragg with a baseball bat, who called Democrats “demonic vermin,” who…

52% of men have a sports betting account like fan duel or draft kings. The addiction economy of sports - picking the meat off of what’s left in the wallets of fans - is a growing sector of our economy. So we got *that* going for us. Which is nice. 🤪

Read that again. This Louisiana bill forces homeless people to choose between jail and "treatment"—and if they can't pay for the latter, they will be forced to perform unpaid labor. The historical precedents are clear: convict leasing, Black Codes, debtor's prison.
