Aaron Rupar is having an impact.

🚨BREAKING: Supreme Court DENIES Missouri’s emergency stay application leaving the 2022 congressional map protecting Black voters in Kansas City in place for the midterms. A victory for Elias Law Group, its client and voters of Missouri! www.democracydocket.com/cases/missou...

Zuckerberg is weaselly POS.

Just noticed that in the order denying Minnesota's extradition request, the federal judge noted that the basis of Abbott's argument against extradition--that Castro was not a "fugitive" bc he had been transferred, not fled--has no support in caselaw and is contradicted by it.

THIS is how you do it

This is a good story on how corrupt this dismissal is. Note, I did not realize Andrew DeFilippis, who left DOJ quickly and quietly amid multiple complaints tied to the Durham investigation, was involved. www.cbsnews.com/news/judge-d...

exactly the right message.. I will have much to say about this in my Monday piece

BREAKING: BLANCHE VOTE POSTPONED. NOTE: Tomorrow is when Blanche must hand over some Epstein files for a judge’s review.

Miles Taylor is right: Trump claims he’s worried about election security while gutting the FBI’s election task force, DHS election teams, ODNI’s threat cells, and now leaving the EAC with zero leadership. Weird way of showing you care. #USDemocracy

When Elon Musk says "zero" children died in Africa from his DOGE cuts, he really means zero children died who are *worthy of any concern.* It's vile coded signaling to his global fascist audience. From me and @polphilpod.bsky.social, a deep dive into Musk's fascism: newrepublic.com/article/2135...

The pattern is unmistakable: *Nobody died from USAID cuts. *Nobody killed by ICE is innocent. *No Muslim in the UK can escape the charge of being a rapist or a murderer. *No Somali in Minnesota is there legitimately by definition. And so on: newrepublic.com/article/2135...

People who now complain about international sports organizations lifting suspensions & restrictions on Russia should have demanded that Israel be suspended by same organizations. Instead most of them supported Israel's impunity, some vocally, believing its special treatment couldn't benefit Russia.

I see that Trump's been out campaigning for Democrats in the upcoming midterms again. "People that own their homes - we're gonna keep them wealthy. We're gonna keep those prices up. We're not gonna destroy the value of their homes so that somebody who didn't work very hard can buy a home."

this is “pete hegseth wants an all-white military”

A proposed rule fueled by Trump’s conspiracy theories would require the USPS to keep a list of voters it believes should be allowed to vote by mail—and give them the power to hold those ballots hostage. Urge them to say NO and help protect voting by mail: act.standupamerica.com/letters/cte-...

He's definitely full of hot air.

A bombshell Virginia redistricting ruling shakes the midterms map, Trump’s approval hits new lows, and fresh Iran clashes raise more questions than answers. Bright & early Mon., Talking Feds breaks down the fast-changing political landscape.

"There is a big difference between giving credit, taking credit and demanding gratitude..." www.washingtonpost.com/style/2026/0...

Trump's "Minister of Tourism" was met with brutal ridicule when he announced his new social media account on X.

It’s a very good one.

Jesus. Did that sergeant at arms walk there directly from the Pettus Bridge? The hair, the whole look, everything. Make the photo B&W, and you wouldn't know if it was 2026 or 1965. And the reasons are the same. And the fight's the same. Confederacy and Jim Crow lost before. They'll lose again.

I've had plans to date Hollywood stars that were realer than this.

And don’t forget … still here.

Pretty interesting that the conservative pundits who were all over the media praising the Supreme Court for "standing up for the rule of law" with the Trump tariffs decision are suddenly REAL quiet about the Court murdering the Voting Rights Act

Georgia's supreme court elections are in just 19 days. And they're so important: Two liberal attorneys are aiming to oust a pair of GOP-appointed justices. Voting rights already were a defining issue, & that was before Callais heightened the stakes. So much to unpack here. NEW in Bolts:

Trump is the most corrupt president in American history and it's not even close.

Here's a familiar pattern.

Every worker deserves safety, dignity, and the assurance that they will make it home to their families at the end of their work day. #MayDay is a reminder that solidarity is our greatest strength, and the fight for workers rights is deeply connected with immigrant rights 💪

Actually, I think this is givng Trump too much credit.

As gas prices soar and families struggle..... Congress races for the exit and Trump talks golf and granite upgrades Hoo boy Just filed =====> open.substack.com/pub/macfarla...

Whether he knows it or not.

objectively (as the Soviets used to argue), there’s no question.

The lucky guys also just won a drone contract from the US government! What are the odds?

Veteran @rieckhoff.bsky.social reacts to Trump bashing Italy and Spain: 'So incredibly painful to watch' www.ms.now/katy-tur/wat...

Under the Justice Manual, prosecutors can only commence a case if they believe it's "more likely than not" they'll secure a conviction that will survive appeal. Responding to my question on the Comey seashells case, Todd Blanche said "I do not know what a jury of his peers will do at a trial."

Indeed….better go find Rob Roy, Harvey Wallbanger, Sherry and Marguerita
