NEW: Arkansas bars public officials who've been appointed by the governor to seek a full term for their position. The 2 justices appointed by Governor Sanders are using a way around that — they're just running for each other's seats. I wrote on Arkansas' supreme court races coming up in March:

NEW: A page from Bondi's burn book. This is a list of the searches by Rep Jayapal of the unredacted Epstein files. That means the DOJ grabbed her search terms from the computers they set up for members of congress to view the Epstein files to use as ammunition. The photo is from Reuters.

We weren’t just making it up when we said women needed to vote like their lives depended on it in 2024. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The censorship on Twitter is astounding. We're seeing a 98% drop in engagement last week over the same week two years ago. From a little over a 1,000,000 views a week to less than 17,000. So we moved over to Bluesky 😇 Please invite your friends and family to follow us here. @altyellonatpark.org

I always laugh when a certain type of man asks me “why do feminists hate men so much?” My response is this … It’s never been about us hating men. 🧵

There is some comedy around men explaining the plot of The Handmaid's Tale to its author, in response to her tweet. But this also reveals the tragedy beneath – of misunderstandings that point to the moral and therefore political vulnerability of the U.S. snyder.substack.com/p/casting-th...

pls help me catch up to @mollyjongfast.bsky.social and I promise I will leave everyone alone thx bye

Trump is slipping farther and farther below 50%. He now leads by only 1.6%—and his vote advantage is under 2.5M. One of the narrower victories of the last 100 years of American politics, and any journalist or politico using the term mandate probably needs to retire from their profession immediately.

I know this is ridiculous but give me a sec. What if all the MAGA trolls come in here and in an effort not to get blocked, actually just started posting like regular humans, so as not to get caught, and reprogram their own brains by accident? 😂😂😂

the best thing to happen to journalism in years. while legacy media is blowing it these folks are investigating, providng FACTS, treating readers like adults www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

😭

Not a popular opinion I guess. But what good is protesting going to do now that everyone that should have marched to the polls didn’t do their civic duty?

Bolsonaro has just been indicted for his involvement in a conspiracy to kill his successor and overturn his election loss.

I am sitting in front of a beautiful fire, reading about the Etruscans and whether or not they were Hedonists, (a random search because that’s my brain) feeling cared for and spoiled and fortunate that I have a husband that didn’t vote for Trump.

The police report on the Pete Hegseth allegations has been obtained by Mediaite and it is absolutely horrific. Link here: www.mediaite.com/politics/new...

"All the kids these days. I can't understand them with their slang. Why don't they just talk normal?"

Ouch. But he has a point.

This man cannot be Secretary of Defense. apnews.com/article/hegs...

If you want Joe Biden to do something, posting on BlueSky alone won’t do it. Do what I do and use the White House contact form here. www.whitehouse.gov/contact/

It is actually amazing to me how loud the volume can be turned up on narcissism and how quickly the masses will march to the tune. So many in the media acting like it’s business as usual and that facts aren’t real. It’s going to really suck when it finally hits them.

Please try to absorb these insane ideas from Leon and Vivek www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Nancy Mace spent the entire day ranting about a trans woman member of Congress, who hasn't assaulted a soul, using the same bathroom as her. Not a peep about the guy credibly accused of paying for sex with a minor. Disgusting hypocrisy.

Leak the report. Pass it on

Democrats did fraud but accidentally forgot to use it for Kamala Harris.

Since my neighbor used an AR15 to hunt & kill 26 children & educators in Sandy Hook in 2012, I have worked with these incredible group of gun violence survivors, students, & other grassroots advocates to end the gun violence crisis in our nation. Please follow & support them. go.bsky.app/Uzkm7kS

The Founders put ‘advice and consent’ in the Constitution for a reason. They wanted Senators to have oversight over Cabinet picks of a President to ensure that they were properly vetted. Winning an election 49.89%-48.24 doesn’t dispense with that constitutional responsibility.

It’s really something to watch the Party whose supporters poop on the floor in the Capitol and wipe their feces on the wall tell us which bathrooms to use.

Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa. I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:
