Listen, when I said the tent was big enough for all of us, this is not what the fuck I meant. Thanks for the publicity or whatever, but Neo-nazis need not apply.

My armchair analysis of Supreme Court Retirement Watch is that I genuinely don't think Trump wanted or wants Alito or Thomas to retire, because Alito and Thomas are already the Trump administration's de facto representatives on the Court, and I'm not sure he could find anyone better

ballsandstrikes.orgThere Is No Right-Wing Culture War These Justices Won’t FightWhenever a legal argument goes too far for the other conservatives, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito are right there to encourage activists to try again soon.

Datafolha projects that Lula has defeated Flávio Bolsonaro and won an unprecedented fourth term in the Brazilian presidential runoff. With 75.87% of votes counted, Lula leads 51.11% to 48.89%, and Datafolha says Bolsonaro can no longer catch up.

The Texas government is already creating problems by not publishing running totals of the votes cast so far. The counties are putting out their vote counts and nothing matches. Confusion is sown from the first week of voting--not a great omen.

Well, well, well…. An analysis of voter registration records reveals Republican operative Scott Presler had 3 out-of-state voters use his Pennsylvania address to vote in the 2024 election. This is what voter fraud looks like.

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

It’s a record for a midterm in Georgia: roughly 185,000 people voted in person today, on Day 1 of early voting. The prior record was set in 2022, with roughly 130,000 voters.

Just a reminder that when Dems turn against trans people for power, it's also a reminder that they'll do other things for power that you might not like too, such as supporting billionaires.

Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man. The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!" Agents didn't help him. And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.
