West Virginia Republicans tried to remove all five of their Supreme Court justices in 2018 over alleged corruption (two were convicted of federal crimes). Republicans successfully created three vacancies and flipped the court’s majority

I asked Virginia State Senate leader Scott Surovell why Republicans always seem to find a way around such procedural obstacles whereas Dems are so often stymied by them. The exchange got interesting: newrepublic.com/article/2102...

Severin Borenstein, an economist and researcher at the UC Berkeley Energy Institute at Haas, told lawmakers it could be another $1 to $2 more per gallon. "Unfortunately, that would be a crisis and completely out of control of the state of California," Borenstein said. www.kcra.com/article/cali...

Holy fuck that’s a stupid analogy wow

Ag secretary confirming 1 in 4 US farmers has no fertilizer secured, American Farm Bureau survey says up to 70% can’t afford enough fertilizer for the season under the spiked costs Honestly shocked this isn’t bigger news. 25% of farms are just not planting at all this season. Farm bankruptcy up 46%

You're not longing for the 90s, you just want to solve mysteries while having sexual tension with Gillian Andersen. It's a universal feeling.

This is just millennial culture. Millennials love paying rent

thinking we maybe should have been a little meaner to the confederacy after the war

good tweet

people fucking died for the voting rights act. to wave it away with a magic wand is just so grotesque

if you want people to participate in democracy, and I cannot emphasize this enough, you must demonstrate that democracy will give them an opportunity to influence outcomes. refusal to hold accountable the most nakedly criminal administration in history, despite overwhelming outcry, breeds nihilism.

Pretty sure I’m voting for Becerra

“When the delusion-fueled plan [to find Gemini a body] crumbled, Gemini convinced him that the only way they could be together was for him to end his earthly life and start a digital one, the suit claims.”

Look, I get that it constructs crazy scenarios that occasionally (frequently) lead to suicide but it can also render startlingly realistic images of Ken Paxton with big natural honkers so we really need to sit down and debate the merits without going overboard.

Still feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.

"Send in the clowns"? The clowns are not sitting around at our beck and call. They have lives

"You let someone get into office..." That's a lot of responsibility to be dumping on people you acknowledge are already pretty close to you in beliefs. Instead of berating them, you might consider what you could do to appeal to them, since, like you said, they agree with you on 90% of things.

Centrists have all convinced themselves that "the left" sat out the election, and that by sneering at non-voters, they are taking on "the left." They also seem to think that votes from "the left" aren't worth trying to get. They don't seem to understand why this is really stupid.

Reminder that most people who didn't vote in 2024 didn't do so out of a desire to "smash Democrats," so maybe it's really stupid to constantly attack people who didn't vote and constantly smear them. Just a thought! www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

Of the many things Mamdani’s campaign did well, I think they proved that you don’t need dump trucks full of money to run an intelligent, impactful and engaging media campaign. His team pumped the algo strategically with grassroots, on the street low budget videos. Where is Porter on my feed? Nowhere

I keep giving this app a shot but I just find it boring and teeming with the most insufferable boring dweebs

Congress’ War Powers vote fails by exactly one vote (214-213). Funny how this keeps happening!

I think regulating what poor people are allowed to eat is one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard of.

Zohran Mamdani said he's going to start taxing rich people who buy luxury housing in NYC but don't actually live in there, and the former CEO of Twitter/X called it "actually one of the scariest things I have ever seen."

About 45% of pet ownership is walking by them and badly singing little songs that integrate their names. If you can’t do this, then I’m sorry, you are not ready for the responsibilities of owning a pet.

It could be so much fucking better than this.

Honestly what a crazy fucking sentence

I don't watch Hasan Piker or think about him much, but the attacks on him from multiple elite media institutions all within the same month sure seems like a coordinated campaign to neutralize a prominent pro-Palestine voice.

in a stunning victory, Donald Trump has forced the Iranian government to profit tens of billions of dollars a year against their will

Deals are my art form. Some people get their kicks in different ways, but for me it's always been doing beautiful deals.

The world not screeching to a halt when the US killed more than 100 little school girls on the very first day of this "liberating war" led us exactly to this moment

How it feels being on this app today

every time i write about wage theft i do a double take because it's so crazy corporations steal more than $50 bn from workers' paychecks each year, illegally paying workers less than they earned for their labor that significantly exceeds the combined losses from larceny, burglary, & vehicle theft

Iran just reportedly hit an Oracle data center in Dubai and i can't stop thinking about how good it would feel to see my tax dollars spent firing Tomahawk cruise missiles at data centers.
