This is truly one of the worst things the court has done — both in terms of legitimacy and in terms of the law — since I have been covering the court.
BREAKING: In an unsigned, per curiam opinion on the shadow docket, the SCOTUS conservatives allow Alabama to use a congressional map held repeatedly by a lower court to have been enacted with discriminatory intent.

Rededicate 250 is starting now. The Trump White House wants you to believe it's an innocent gathering of prayer and reflection. In reality, it's a dangerous Christian nationalist event. Watch my exposé here and share. We can't let MAGA smuggle this under the radar. youtu.be/PcLuveydWc4?...

So Eric Trump is now threatening to sue MeidasTouch because our editor-in-chief simply reported on the massive amounts of money he and Don Jr. are making off government contracts. File the lawsuit Eric. We’d love to put you under oath. Our message: www.meidasplus.com/p/trump-fami...

The Pentagon just got caught in a massive cover-up. They wasted $50M illegally renaming themselves the "Department of War," and lied under oath about the true cost of the Iran War—hiding billions. Worse? They admitted there was no imminent nuclear threat. Read the full scandal:

Luckily for ICE agent Jonathan Ross, he only murdered someone. If he had taken a photo of seashells on a beach, he'd be in *real* trouble.
The ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis—and then called her a “fucking bitch” moments before she died in her car—was only placed on three days of administrative leave and continues to work for the agency in another state. trib.al/C3bEEAM

With very ominous language, Justice Elena Kagan says that today’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais ends the Supreme Court’s “now-completed demolition of the Voting Rights Act.” 6-to-3 vote in favor of white voters who challenged a Black-majority district in La. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

I say it again and again: Because we don’t learn the real history of this country, we do not understand what this country is capable of. After 1870, 22 Black men served in Congress. By 1901, because of racist SCOTUS rulings, electoral coups and election cheating and violence, there were none.

They helped American servicemembers in a time of need, and now, Trump wants to betray them. We all know that ghoul Stephen Miller is behind this. For the sake of our country and what remains of our reputation around the world, he needs to be fired.

Hung Cao—who compared abortion to the Holocaust on the campaign trail and claimed combat injuries with no documentation—just became Acting Secretary of the Navy. This is what the collapse of institutional standards looks like in real time.
Hung Cao, the failed Virginia candidate for U.S. Senate who claimed he had been "blown up in combat many times" despite no documentation for it nor medals awarded as is standard procedure.

Not only does Aaron perform this service to humanity, he's a genuine mensch and everyone should subscribe to Public Notice* *Yes, I write there too
“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”

Terrific reporting on the Delta video (and normal, appropriate crediting) from @jbendery.bsky.social here. Interestingly, she says she asked Delta in February about it and they didn’t respond. It really was @ottergoose.net getting the video that made the difference. www.huffpost.com/entry/delta-...

A very detailed explanation of how FBI bamboozled a magistrate into authorizing a raid on Fulton County’s election offices by omitting critical information that would have totally undermined any probable cause claim. Pretty clear-cut case of calculated deception of the courts.
Fulton Co elections expert: “In all 5 areas identified by ... the [search warrant] affidavit, there are a multitude of false or misleading statements or omissions. ... Once ... corrected, the affidavit loses any basis in reality.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Trump can fly to Bragg, give a campaign rally in front of uniformed troops, and tell them how to vote—and that’s just “patriotic.” But 6 veterans in Congress remind the same troops they must refuse illegal orders, and his DOJ tries to brand it sedition. It’s authoritarian hypocrisy.

Remember when we asked you for supplies for folks being thrown out of Whipple in dangerous conditions? You were sending them to St. Paul Corner Drug, who was working to get them out into the neighborhood. They've posted a heartwarming thank you on IG: www.instagram.com/p/DUojPuBDd6x/
