We do not have voting rights in this country anymore. We just don’t. We did for a while because Congress codified them pursuant to a constitutional amendment enacted by the people in a great repudiation of the original sin of slavery. But the Supreme Court has nullified that law and that amendment.

The Purcell principle now officially just means “Republicans win.” For the reasons Sotomayor lays out here, SCOTUS’s eleventh hour intervention for Alabama Republicans is indefensible. It’s going to unleash massive chaos on the ground for both voters and election administrators. What a disaster.

Sotomayor comes very close to calling the supermajority a pack of liars for claiming in Callais that they weren’t requiring proof of discriminatory intent then turning around and doing exactly that here. This is a remarkably blunt and caustic accusation. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

This heinous ruling confirms a worst-case-scenario reading of Callais as an all-purpose shield for racist lawmakers who want to gerrymander Black communities into electoral oblivion. And it’s outrageously partisan—a totally unprincipled gift to the GOP. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

this court would authorize all-white primaries if it could find some facially neutral means to do so

Out: Pelley Alfonsi Vega Cooper Remain: Stahl Whitaker Wertheim O'Donnell

MENG: Are you going to issue new memo in writing rescinding weaponization fund? BLANCHE: I'm not committing to putting anything in writing. What would the purpose be? M: You established it in writing so it makes sense to rescind it in writing B: Ok. I'm not committing to doing anything in writing

Trump has no public events on his schedule again today. The last time he was seen publicly for something other than a pre-taped interview was six days ago -- Wednesday, May 27 -- for his cabinet meeting. (He went to Walter Reed the day before.)

Hilarious and deeply insightful writing by @brianphillips.lol.

Welp there’s no unseeing this

The debate about tariffs “has largely centered on two options: Either companies would pass on .. or ‘eat’ the tariffs .. Now we know that there was a third option: Pass on some of the costs and pay for the remainder by suppressing wages ..” @bobburgess.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

“.. Plaintiff’s speech .. by any reasonable measure merely advocated for the President’s impeachment and removal from office — that is, ‘to throw [him] out,’” Moss wrote. @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

By gum if they can find billions for reparations to those who don't deserve it, they can bloody well dig up billions for reparations for Native Americans and the descendants of former slaves, who actually deserve it...

BREAKING: we are NOT accepting media reports as proof that the $1.8B slush fund & "settlements" associated with it are dead That's why we @democracydefendersfund.org have just filed a new lawsuit to make sure this ENDS --on behalf of former J6 prosecutors with Platkin LLP, WLG & Heaphy Smith

The Obama Presidential Center campus has "turned a pleasant but quiet corner of Jackson Park into one of the best urban spaces in the city, maybe second only to Millennium Park," writes Lee Bey.

always impressed by the vp who thinks writing a word problem ai prompt is a revolution over basic arithmetic and half-century-solved sql operations.

It’s 2pm, four hours later

Happy Pride Month to all who celebrate--and even more to those who don't. 🏳️‍🌈

To reiterate, Maine’s US Senate race is not settled! ME’s DEM primary is next week. And I believe that I have the most fitting background, knowledge, and experience to defeat Senator Susan Collins and to help in advancing real, substantive change in Washington (costelloforsenate.com) #MEpolitics

Voting for me is easy. You can write my name in the write-in box and then fill in the bubbles accordingly. If you need to pull out your phone to look up how to spell my name, that’s completely fine. I hope I can earn a first place ranking on your ballot. Andreaformaine.com

Seems bad that the best argument for Platner is "Sure he's been lying to our faces about everything in his background, but hopefully he's not lying about the platform he's running on."

New: Hackers have been stealing high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI support chatbot to change the email associated with the account they want to steal. Shockingly easy, terrible flaw associated with offloading support to AI: www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

No Democratic candidate should ever have to deny being a Nazi. Full stop. Maine votes June 9. Our standards are our strength. We become what we excuse. open.substack.com/pub/thejenni...

there's playing the hits then there's running this chyron in May 2026

There's something unnatural about a left that hates almost all other candidates... and somehow really likes platner. A group that demands we all ignore his flaws, while also demanding we hate all other politicans for.. far more minor flaws. Just pure unhinged, raw, shamless partisanship.

Makes me wonder if a VERY large portion of leftist influencers aren't double agents... and the the left is so far gone that it has no chance at coming back. It just ran down the purity rabbit hole and now... realizes that there's no path back out.

🙄 President claims his doctor discovered that he has "extreme intelligence."

As a longtime Guild member, I, along with @postguild.bsky.social , filed a grievance to challenge my termination. And finally, after 8 long months, we are headed to arbitration this Thursday, June 4, at 10 am. wbng.org/2026/06/01/k...

Due to a scheduling conflict, Dr. Teeth and Electric Mayhem will not be performing at the Freedom 250 concert.

Mal no me parece, también os lo comento.

#PoeticiaDiaria O ni formados Hoy al fin se encontraron como de sopetón mi maestra protestando y estando trabajando papá progenitor. Ella quiere ayudarme a un futuro mejor sin salir adelante como le hizo mi padre al darle un empujón.

Are we finally ready to talk about how terfs have been helping the far right destroy women’s rights by pushing hyper femininity yet or is it too early for this decades old information too.

“I’ve been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment” is a great joke. I’d love to see Talarico swap out the punchline each time he tells it. “…since before Ken Paxton cheated on his wife” “…since before Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party” There are hundreds of options.

Proud to take in today’s opening of a 42-bed #Ebola treatment center in Bunia, #DRC. Previously a new pediatric building of the Centre Évangélique Médical entrusted it to @who.int to convert into a facility to provide care to people who have contracted Bundibugyo virus causing the Ebola disease.

Ossoff: He’s trying to put his face on the money. He's building a monument to himself . But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he’s gone… because he's a failed president and a national disgrace.

"He's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he's gone" is a very good line of attack against Trump.

BREAKING: The Trapp Family has withdrawn from Donald Trump's Freedom 250 concert, citing previous unpleasant experiences with fascists.

Ossoff: While you pay more for everything, Trump wants your tax dollars for what many are calling the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom. He forced out that Republican, the one who made him release the Epstein files. That is true commitment to the cover-up.

The Archies have announced they will not be playing at Freedom 250.

BREAKING: The Banana Splits will NOT be performing at Freedom 250 Carry On.

Also wanted her to lie and then promptly lied about her to try and spin a false story that she was the source in order to make her the story instead.

"[Morris] Katz wrote [to Genevieve] McDonald[,] 'If the story goes in its current iteration we’ll communicate...that Genevieve violated the personal trust of Amy and Graham and shared explicit falsehoods to sabotage the campaign.'" www.bangordailynews.com/2026/05/31/p...

The thing sbout Graham Platner's candidacy is that it was designed in a laboratory to appeal to Democrats who: -self identify as progressive -enjoy calling Dem leaders feckless -are REALLY mad they got social pressured into migrating away from Twitter because they miss it there and want to go back
