Disgraceful

🚨 The NYT appears to have taken a great feature story written by my colleague at Bolts about a west Tennessee county & the VRA, & essentially rewritten it. (Same frame, similar hed, overlapping sources.) Without a single mention, credit, let alone the a hyperlink buried somewhere.

The degree of political asymmetry on what judges/justices are up to these days, AND what politicians are doing to courts, is one of the most staggering aspects of our moment.

primary him

Democrats get a gerrymander in Virginia approved by a referendum, and it falls. Republicans in other states manage to gut the Voting Rights Act to enact partisan gerrymanders with no signoff from voters, and they stand. The game really does feel rigged, doesn't it?

Uhhh what’s going on with the secret service

A Democratic president with simple majorities in Congress could enact proportional representation for the House—no amendments required. 50%+1 could end the filibuster, expand SCOTUS, expand the House, and enact PR by state. And add new states like D.C. to rebalance the Senate while they’re at it

He just threatened to kill 90 million people

Yoon and Prince Andrew wishing they had a friend like John Roberts.

@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social Neal katyal who says enslaved children have to find the proper venue to sue nestle? Sick

these are senator james talarico numbers

Alison Luchs, who has worked at the National Gallery of Art for 47 years, agreed to learn Gen Z slang and make videos because she wanted to raise interest in the museum’s art. She never expected to slay. https://wapo.st/45BXc3S

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

I understand Dems cannot unilaterally dissolve ICE now, but it's time to grind all normal operations to a halt until this madness is reigned in. We have a state funded police force murdering citizens doing good works, helping neighbors who fall in the street. What are we doing here @democrats.org ??

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Where are Jeffries and Schumer?? Still talking about the price of avocados?

Why is Dem leadership not on the ground in MN? If the answer is “polls show Trump’s disapproval is only -15 on deportations, but -25 on prices,” thats a Bad Use Of Polling and a complete failure in their capacity as leaders to lead public opinion and fight for democracy and the rule of law

Every Dem should be saying it

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.

“Peep” Alonso is my son’s favorite Met. Fuck Stearns and fuck Steve Cohen too. Boycott the team. #metssky 🐻‍❄️

Why do you give 3/4 of a billion dollars to Juan Soto and then strip the team?

“As for what I see for the Mets in the future, I am looking forward to spending a lot of time in Cohens casino when it goes up. The moves we’ve made this off season have really done a lot to facilitate that. I plan on spending a LOT of 2029 at the roulette table.” #metssky

#metssky what team will you be following in 2026? I’m taking a hiatus from this franchise.

The initial strike was 9 murders. The second strike was an additional 2 murders.

This is straight-up murder

sorry,

In before the house files an amendment that allows the senate provision to stay “as long as house members can sue three times annually for $333,333 in each instance, when the cheese is burned on the pizza they get from the congressional cafeteria”

🧐🤔

Maybe the defectors know the Epstein files are really that bad and want to force them out sooner

We've got you 👍

I’m holding the floor to say HELL NO to Trump’s attacks on our Constitution and our communities. www.youtube.com/live/H1VL5Po...

State troopers in riot gear just plowed into the crowd, started arresting protesters and clergy.

Andrew, we're voting you off the island and back to the suburbs. Our new ad just aired during Survivor.

at this point you have to acknowledge that there is no way that these guys don't try to mess with the 2026 midterms. there is absolutely no respect for the legitimacy of the opposition

Kimmel's show put together a montage of Trump insisting dozens of times yesterday to "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL." Complete insanity.

It's too much liquid

hey so this is insane

welcome to the tonight show! i’m your host joe rogan (applause) president trump went golfing this week looking more healthy than ever (laughter) trump says he set a new course record (more laughter, rogan starts sweating) please… (sniper red dot appears on his forehead)

Due to Bluesky video limits, a lot of people haven't been able to share some of the fabulous Groyper explainer videos being passed around the internet. So I'm splitting them up & posting the best ones here: Please save the thread & share with others! GROYPER EXPLAINER THREAD: 🧵👇🏼

Arrested for filming it. And look how excited they all are to get some *action*. 🇺🇸 Watch fascism work.

Imagine a German saying they're proud of the Nazi part of their history.

I’m off today so while Texas is trying to undermine our democracy in broad daylight I thought I’d look at @cnn.com and @msnbc.com . MSNBC is talking about a NYT op Ed on climate. CNN is talking about the “USDA chasing wolves off farms with AC/DC” we’re doomed 🐺
