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.

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:

Minnesotans are paying the price for this administration’s war with Iran as gas prices rise and squeeze families, small businesses, and farmers across our state.

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

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.

MOULTON: You said, 'We will give them no quarter.' That's a war crime. Do you stand by it? HEGSETH: Uhm. The Dept of War fights to win M: You called for Ds to be tried for sedition for reminding our troops to follow the law. But when you tell them to commit a war crime, you stand by it. Congrats.

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

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.

“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.”

From NASA and something nice to wake up to: We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

White male privilege is Geno getting to disrepect a Black woman peer on national television as his team lost and have sports media run cover for him. #Misogynoir is Dawn getting critiqued for defending herself and her team from said abuse, all while knowing she could never behave the same way.

The estimated 9 million people who showed up to protest against Trump last weekend were not outliers. Those protesters represent the views of close to 70% of the country according to a new University of Massachusetts Amherst Poll.

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-...

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

The Justice Department has posted online three FBI interviews related to sexual assault allegations against President Donald Trump that had been missing from the massive trove of Epstein files released by the Department of Justice. Trump has consistently denied wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.

Remember, if something bad happens to pedophiles, it's a shame and Donald sends his love. If you're an American citizen and you get killed in the USA because of Operation Epstein Fiasco that's just the way it is and get used to it. Eat some cake and bullets, he's off to Maralago to 'dance.'

When Charlie Kirk died,Trump lowered flags nationwide for him. 6 US soldiers die and not only will he not lower the flags nationwide for them, he just says “some people will die.”

If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.

Both Donald Trump and his Slovene-born escort spent years calling for Obama’s birth certificate. I am calling for Melania Trump’s legal immigration papers: How did she get an “Einstein” visa for extraordinary abilities despite her blatant lie under oath about her college degrees?

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.

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.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Stephen Miller and JD Vance have spearheaded both the Greenland and Minnesota disasters. Focus needs to be on them now, not the middle managers.

In Feb, 2025 Trump was 50%-41% on immigration. Today he’s 39%-53%, a stunning 23 point net drop on his signature issue. Way to go Stephen Miller!

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.
