I just have a hard time believing a crowd of bishops were this credulous.

Compared to him, Bessent is Abraham Lincoln.

“My Catholic Latina opponent wants to impose Sharia Law” is a hilariously desperate closing message. thehill.com/homenews/617...

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

NEWS --> Dems are planning novel ways to wield power of the purse against Trump's corrupt prosecutions of critics like Ilhan Omar if they win House. Reps Pramila Jayapal and Jamie Raskin tell me a range of aggressive tactics will be deployed. Details in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/2171...

election judge in DuPage county here—you can VOTE ANYWHERE in the county (even on election day). all ballots are printed bespoke, on demand for every voter based on their address. we will never tell a voter at 5 minutes to 7 on election day that they need to go to a polling place 10 minutes away!

This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.

Check out how easy this is.

Cindy Hyde-Smith has 9 days until Election Day to face Mississippi voters in a town hall or debate.

So if you’re furious as you fill up your tank, just remember Exxon is making a lot of money off you.

real fast casual dining heads know this is old spaghetti factory erasure, revealing this supposed tribune of the plebs to be an imposter

I grew up in a lower income immigrant family and we ate at Red Lobster for "special days." But we also understood the White House should not look like the inside of Red Lobster. It's condescending to assuming working ppl are culturally illiterate bc their experience is shaped by their limited means.

GOP does nothing but gin up culture wars. Meanwhile: — GOP slashed SNAP benefits to 5+ million Americans, forcing them to turn to food banks. — Trump's tariffs and war spurred inflation, making it more expensive to eat at The Cheesecake Factory. Prices are now ~13% higher than when he took office.

no matter how sure you are that these guys have broken a whole bunch of laws, you aren't nearly as certain as they are

Now that Donald Trump has made clear that he thinks that this ad is fair game, actual fair game is using the time up until election day asking every Republican candidate running if they think that this ad is fair game or not. No need to constrain this question to just Republican candidates in Ohio.

Q: Do you support the deal with Russia to buy diesel? ROGER MARSHALL: If this brings Russia to the bargaining table and ends the war, then I'm all for it ADAM HAMILTON: What you said just now is you're gonna sell out our friends in Ukraine. That's not okay. It's indecent

Expanding the Court is the moderate position

If you aren't connecting Cornell, Acton's mother, the Shane Gillis monologue, and the household vote movement, the rage you encounter when discussing any of these might knock you down

My grandfather used to do this - "Do what I want and I keep you in my will. If you don't, there's no money." Everyone in the family came to hate him. Not a person cried at his funeral. Instead, we all talked about what a hideous person he was and how glad we were that he was gone.

The fact that Amy Acton was removed from her mother’s care and went on to obtain an MD and flourish in public health makes her even more of a hero in my eyes. This type of trauma never really goes away. Yet when there was a fork in the road, she chose the one where she helps others. Hero.

I am so angry.

Feeling betrayed by Republicans, they plan to vote straight-ticket Republican this November.

Emphasizing again that we cannot treat this as just business as usual. This is the President of the United States openly attacking an entire ethnic group.

Interpreting the Constitution by imagining what the colonial-era version of this guy thought.

“That’s so racist even CBS won’t let you say it” actually sums up how far CBS has fallen.

This week a white nationalist tried to assassinate a member of Congress and you probably didn’t even hear about it—and a reminder that being an elementary school student in the US is more deadly than being an ICE officer: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/three-shoo...

Jan is CBS’s legal correspondent. She gave the puff piece interview to Alito on his book. She’s criticized people who criticize the Court too much / in certain ways. She’s a perfect case study in why some mainstream/legacy media press coverage of SCOTUS is broken, bad, and misleading.

“My account was hacked. By Sam Alito.”

“Vance 2028. 🤷‍♂️”

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

SULLIVAN: We weren't supposed to get these questions beforehand, were we? MODERATOR: No, neither one of you got questions beforehand PELTOLA: I'm prepared!

1/ Katie Zacharia is obviously an incompetent press secretary for a wannabe authoritarian president, but I find the whole "she says she's a lawyer, but she's not barred!" discourse a little weird.

Ludicrous framing here from @nytimes.com. No serious Dems ever thought these would be slam dunks. And it's premature to let a centrist group get in a self-interested shot like this before we even know if these candidates will actually fare worse in the elections than other ones. Indefensible.

The curse of paying attention to the Trump admin is I now recognize these guys. Zampolli who pursued a teen model who flew to US on the Epstein plane, refused to marry her even when they had a kid, and then years later set ICE on her after she married someone else. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/20/u...

Katie Zacharia searching desperately for precedent that any law school grad can call themselves a lawyer.

even Kevin Hassett has a hard time spinning hot inflation data: "You're correct that this was a disappointing number"

Parents, if you have dropped off a kid named Jimmy in the morning and picked up a kid named Janet at the end of the school day, please return to the school: You've driven off with some other family's child.

GOP Rep Lauren Boebert made a series of new, factually unsubstantiated claims against Democrat Eileen Laubacher in the 9NEWS #CO4 debate Monday night

Lies, lies, lies. At what point do voters see through the stoking of fear?

On this day in 1897, Edith Spurlock Sampson was born. In 1950, she became the 1st African Am named to the permanent US delegation to the UN. In 1962, when she won a seat on the Chicago Municipal Court, she became the 1st black woman in the US to win a popular election for a judgeship. #WeTheMen

Opinion | As a principled Republican who came of age in the Reagan/Bush era, I find myself agreeing more with Democrats than Trump’s Republicans on the most fundamental issues of our democracy. Here’s why I’ll still be voting straight ticket Republican.

wrote on saturday that trump was not going to let democrats avoid the question of impeachment and here we are with an offense that would have had a president impeached, removed and *at least* exiled if it had happened at any point prior to now.
