That *Rep. Jim Clyburn* is announcing his support for SCOTUS expansion is huge.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Rep. James Clyburn says he supports expanding the Supreme Court: "13 is a pretty good number. A baker's dozen would be a good number to have on the Court."

It's pretty infuriating that Trump is denying disaster aid to Oregon for political reasons and I have barely heard anything about it, while Biden was falsely accused of doing the exact same thing to North Carolina and millions of people believed that

The premise of this question from NPR is absurd. Joe Biden pardoning Hunter has nothing to do with Trump pardoning January 6 insurrectionists. Hunter has been demonized and dragged by Republicans just for living, the insurrectionist should be hanged. I said what I said.

This man is directly responsible for the tortured death of thousands of children in Senegal and other parts of the world. The blood is on his hands but of course, continue to make a scene on Harris’ book tour and carry on your red faced temper tantrums over AIPAC.

NEW: Tina Peters, newly freed by Colorado Gov Jared Polis (D), begins her MAGA media tour by telling Steve Bannon that Democrats are cheating on elections and she was imprisoned as retribution for exposing voting machines that flip votes.

JUST NOW from @statuscoupnews.bsky.social livestream — ICE agents outside Delaney Hall in Newark, NJ pushed a protester into an 18-wheeler causing the truck to run over his leg. They then pinned him on the ground and carried him away.

Cutting HUD by 75% while deregulating savings and loans created both the supply shortage and the speculative pressure simultaneously. The housing crisis isn't a mystery. It was built, deliberately, starting in 1981.

Say goodbye to Stephen Colbert and then say goodbye to CBS. A network that loses Colbert loses its cultural relevance. Period. Please repost if you agree! #StephenColbert #Colbert #CBS

This is it. They cannot redistrict the grassroots . They cannot redistrict the fight entire.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

“It’s against the law to run bicycles off the road, even though it’s sometimes very tempting.” NH Rep. Thomas Walsh, R-Hooksett He's the Chair of the House Transportation Committee and all around terrible person.

Every state government controlled by Democrats must immediately gerrymander Republicans to *zero* congressional districts. Not one – ZERO. Fight fire with fire.

Republicans are trying to make it illegal for Democrats to win federal elections. Democrats really, really shouldn’t play along.

Brian Tyler Cohen@briantylercohen.bsky.social

"So what needs to happen now - and it needs to happen now - is that Democrat-led states need to set aside procedure and redraw the maps. New York, New Jersey, Washington, Oregon, Illinois, Maryland, and Colorado need to get it done. Do it in 2026 if possible. By 2028 is non-negotiable."

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

At least 8 school districts in NC will close May 1st as thousands of educators, parents, and community members from across the state attend the Kids Over Corporations protest in Raleigh — part of a growing wave of #MayDay actions nationwide, with educators in places like Chicago also organizing.

newsobserver.comHere are the NC school districts closing for the May 1 teacher rally in RaleighThe school districts say they’re closing for the day because they won’t have enough staff due to so many teachers requesting the day off.

The Texas legislature rammed through a gerrymandering bill at the request of Trump. Virginia actually voted in favor of redistricting to counterbalance what Texas and other Republican-controlled states have done. Yet only one is considered a "power grab." Oligarch-owned media in a nutshell.

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week. Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool. But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

This should be a bigger story. A Reagan-appointed judge just ruled Trump’s Energy Secretary illegally ran a secret panel of climate deniers to cook up a biased report and sabotage clean air rules.

A heartfelt congratulations to the US women's Hockey team! You are the best of the best on and off the rink! And a hearty fuck off to the US men's Hockey team for showing the world that they are nothing but a bunch of shameful, misogynist MAGA dude-bros.

A historic showdown: 300 million Indian workers paralyzed the nation in the largest strike ever, defying Modi's assault on labor rights. Yet Western media's quiet coverage reeks of complicity with billionaire fears. Claudia Webbe nails it: this is the future the elite dreads most. #BharatBandh
