The argument that Democrats—if they get power again—should refrain from Supreme Court reform in the name of preserving norms has a deep flaw: Trump, the Republican Party, and the Roberts Court already destroyed those norms. Denial won’t bring them back. As this essay says, moral courage is needed.

every day, every hour, brings us images that are totally beyond the powers of parody

"While the world frets over Trump’s incompetence, corruption, and carnage, the justices of the U.S. Supreme Court enjoy a deference that obscures their role in causing permanent damage."

I need more Jon Osoff content

as a historian of the premodern world, this is what drives me insane about right-wing nostalgia. you know what medieval knights/ peasants/ everyone there would've fucking killed for? vaccines and a stable, safe food supply

If LeBron really wants to play with AD and that's what's holding up his decision, then the best solution for him is clear: he should finish his career with the Wizards

what a great article — I had no idea about any of this. There are only 25 IMAX 70mm theaters in all of America!! They can’t make new IMAX projectors because they don’t have the plans anymore! They had to track down broken ones ahead of “The Odyssey” and fix them!! variety.com/2026/film/ne...

While primarily known as a singer, Chaka Khan is also an expert drummer, who regularly stepped behind the kit to supply percussion during live sessions with her band Rufus, solos at concerts, and on TV. A few videos of the Queen of Funk in action.

Good opinion piece from E.J Dionne on the DSA and centrist democrats; “the {Democratic} party overall has drifted leftward in reaction to the discrediting of unbridled capitalism by the financial crash of 2008 and the steady rise in inequality since 1980…”

incredible -- more than two hours into this morning's Fox & Friends, "fraud" has not been mentioned a single time and hosts haven't discussed Trump's big primetime speech at all. They have 787 million reasons to ignore it.

need to start thinking now about a full package of judicial reforms: new justices, new circuits, new district courts, ethics reforms, docket reforms, and transparency reforms.

The terror spreading across the country this a.m. because in some more progressive corners of the US progressives won elections is telling. The reason the reaction is so over-large is because progressives unlike centrists and the right, are the only group who pose a real threat to established power.

My one ask to everyone right now: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4a7l1TR

The ICE agent charged with shooting a Venezuelan immigrant in north Minneapolis during Operation Metro Surge and lying about the circumstances has been arrested in Texas after Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension agents tracked him there.

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4a7l1TR

critically this was the case in 1870 when the 15th amendment was ratified! there is literally no such thing as partisan gerrymandering and manipulation of voting rules in the south outside of the context of “white reactionaries want to neuter black political power”

The stories & photos from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person. If this piece moves you, please share it widely & help make sure these voices aren’t lost in the noise of a crowded news cycle. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

EditorialCartoonist @andertoon.bsky.social with a powerful message.

It's an understudied element of our media environment that Republicans can insult Democrats in any way they see fit, regardless of propriety or truth value, without repercussion, but Dems are consistently forced to use measured tones to describe Republicans no matter how outrageous their actions.

Everywhere you look, Trump, his family members, his donors, his political supporters & his cronies are looting the US treasury, getting paid by foreign entities for policy favors, & getting no bid contracts. Criminal cases are dropped and convictions pardoned. The US govt is an ongoing crime scene.

This graphic is a mess. Let’s clean it up. Opposition infographics are great for outrage, terrible for legal reality. Here’s what’s actually true about Xavier Becerra’s record: 🧵

2026 is starting to look very similar to 2006, when an unpopular war in the Middle East and a 2nd-term president with fading approval ratings helped Democrats win a surprising takeover of the Senate. W/quick look at key races: (GIFT LINK!) www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Anti-War protest tonight at 6 pm at the White House. Spread the word!

Social movement scholar here to comment on No King again. a 🧵: These protests are important b/c: 1.) as sustained image events, protests offer evidence of continued disapproval of the direction the country is going and disavowal of the country's leadership.

This Netflix broadcast of the Giants Yankee game is embarrassing. In the 3rd inning they had the Yankee’s 2nd baseman talk over the broadcast for 3 at bats without the score, pitch count visible, announcers suck, stuffed with in game Netflix promotions.

Saudis are renting our military from Trump.

This is an excellent summary of the US War on Iran current situation. I’m an existentialist and borderline absurdist and even I struggle with the current moment. This summary is just fantastic.

Former Middle East adviser at the US Department of Defense, Jasmine El-Gamal, has it exactly right.

Meiselas: Trump is a parody in the most extreme sense of the boogeymen MAGA created to go after Dems. He’s quite literally all of it. He covers up the pedo ring. He starts wars everywhere. He uses government to tread on people. He's the most extreme example of what they claimed they wanted to stop.

for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc

⚠️ WAIT… Do you know where your birth certificate is? If the SAVE Act passes, you may need it to vote. 🗳️ Congress is pushing a bill that could block millions of eligible Americans not because they aren’t citizens, but because they can’t easily access documents. #SaveActTaxesYourVote

Trump's end goal is to transform our entire government into an oligarchy working for HIM, *not* the American people. He gets there by lying, hiring loyalists, and sowing chaos, doubt, fear, and hate. Billionaires are now jockeying for position in that oligarchy. RESIST! indivisible.org 5calls.org

Clinton: It then got at the end quite unusual because I started being asked about UFOs and a series of questions about Pizzagate. One of the most vile bogus conspiracy theories that was propagated on the internet.

This guy gets it. Seriously though, this feels like a moment of transition from the post-911 era into something darker, more Torrian, and more focused on policing American citizens
