The Tennessee Speaker of the House will remove all Democratic Caucus members from standing committees and subcommittees as punishment for their redistricting protests. Democracy dies in Nashville.

Georgia's governor signs a comically transparent law. It makes local elections in 5 big blue counties nonpartisan, to give GOP candidates a chance to win without a party label in places like Atlanta. And it doesn't change anything in the rest of the state, for red counties to know who's GOP.

oh boy.

Two questions: 1. Do people think gas stations make more money selling gas when gas is more expensive? 2. Do people think they should be allowed to be anti-social freaks because the president started a war?

Daryl Morey's time as the Sixers president of basketball operations has come to an end. He's been fired after six seasons during which the Sixers failed to advance beyond the second round of the playoffs. 🔗 www.inquirer.com/sixers/dar...

An extremely courageous person who meant a lot to so many people.

So not only did TN Republicans strip Memphis of representation, Speaker Sexton is also stripping Dems of committees for protesting it. Watch fascism work. www.wsmv.com/2026/05/12/m...

this is absolutely BONKERS behavior from the director of the FBI. it's a disgrace to his position and the entire US government.

The President spoke from the heart and apparently there’s no room in it for Americans struggling to pay their bills.

17? Dude looks like he's old enough to prep for his first colonoscopy.

President Donald Trump handed a nearly $7 million no-bid contract to renovate the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to a contractor he said had worked on his private swimming pools — but the company's own website shows no expertise in swimming pools whatsoever.

"I don’t even know where you get this stuff, but that doesn’t make it credible because you say so,” Patel deadpanned. “I’m not saying it, Director Patel, it’s written and documented—” Van Hollen said. trib.al/ivJcg4x

TL;DR: ABC—the home of Happy Days, Mork & Mindy, NYPD Blue, China Beach, Lost, Scandal, thirtysomething, Modern Family, and Twin Peaks—will be airing *five* hours of scripted programming in its primetime fall schedule. In 2006-07, it was more than double that.

We’re getting there.

New episode! "A Physical Education with Casey Johnston." We talk with @caseyjohnston.bsky.social about the structural barriers that prevent Americans from moving their bodies and why "at the scale of daily life, cars should be systematically discouraged." podcasts.apple.com/lu/podcast/a...

Honored to meet the crew of Artemis II and hear about their mission to the moon. It was especially exciting to speak with Reid Wiseman. Proud to see a Maryland native leading this era of space exploration.

Todd Blanche didn't keep Donald Trump out of jail. The people who kept him out of jail were the ones who refused to remove and bar him from public office (GOP Senators) and those who took far too long to get serious about criminally prosecuting him (Biden's DOJ).

Trump: "Americans' financial situation -- I don't think about anybody. I think about one thing. We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That's all."

Ciccone: "I grew up with the [pink jersey] in my heart... it's been my cycling dream to wear it... if only for a day or a night"

Xinis also presses the Trump DOJ about why the government won't let Abrego go to Costa Rica, which agreed to respect his rights as a refugee. It goes to whether Abrego's removal is "punitive and vindictive."

Trump is posting absolutely deranged shit on social media this morning ahead of departing for China today. Get a load of this stuff.

Is this where I tell the story again? Summer 2002 while in college I worked at the old Brentano’s bookstore in Century City. One quiet afternoon Don Adams came in. At the register, I told him how much his work had meant to me growing up. He kindly thanked me, then said “All my friends are dead.”

Child protective services ripped a 14-year-old from her home to stop her from leaving the state for an abortion. They also threatened her mother with murder charges and the removal of her other child if they crossed state lines for care. So please don't tell me Republicans aren't banning travel.

The overwhelming majority of Americans support Supreme Court term limits. That’s why I introduced the ROBE Act. It's time for reform.

He's had a weird obsession with trans stuff since he got backlash in 2007 from LGBTQ groups over his decision to try to push an LGB-only nondiscrimination bill (that would have been vetoed by GWB anyway). He popped back up in 2014 to continue complaining about it. I wrote about it at the time:

...he was sometimes branded "the painting cyclist". Here's one of his works

Amen

Now that I've seen these guys, I have a better idea of why the ed page is ... the way it is.

The rule appears to be that redistricting is always legal when it benefits Republicans and never legal when it benefits Democrats.

important thing to note here is dr oz cites a current american replacement rate of 1.5, which is not true. the american replacement level in 2025 was 1.79. interestingly, the white replacement rate is in fact at 1.5 though

FCC chair Brendan Carr isn’t arresting anyone. Instead, he’s trying to crush your freedom with regulations. He wants to silence critics of the war. He wants to decide what talk shows you’re allowed to watch. To lovers of free speech, he is the devil. Read my Stop the Presses newsletter.

Trump posed a Supreme Court rant so long that it’s essentially un-screenshotable, but he starts it with this. It comes in at 545 words, but it doesn’t seem that short when you read it with zero paragraph breaks:

I don’t think we need a product on the market that does this.
