🚨 Republicans just passed a law to pack Utah’s Supreme Court by adding two seats. Republicans are doing this following court rulings against their gerrymander and their attempt to gut the ballot initiative process that voters used to ban gerrymandering

Chuck Schumer doing what he does best: folding to Trump’s authoritarian regime and failing the American people. You’d think after last week, he’d understand the moment we’re in and the leverage he has. He must be replaced as leader immediately, and the out-of-touch corporate old guard needs to go.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov, a 'promise' from Republicans? WTAF? Are you a child? Even you can't be that naïve. Don't you dare do your kabuki theater with hundreds of millions of lives hanging in the balance. If you can't play hardball, resign. Immediately.

Late last night I mapped crime rates for cities in OH, SC and WV to show how often they exceeded the rate in DC — where those states’ governors are sending National Guard troops to “combat crime.” www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...

NEW: The CDC shooting was much worse than initially reported. 181 rounds. 150 windows hit. Staff are furious at RFK Jr. and Trump becuz their long-running fears about anti-vax rhetoric turning deadly seem to be vindicated. @laurenweberhp.bluesky.social + Me. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

She hasn’t even said she’s running—and they’re already telling her she can’t. That’s how deep the bias runs. The rules change before she even steps on the field.
From Politico: "One former senior Harris staffer put it even more bluntly: “I don’t think she can win the Democratic primary, so therefore, if I was advising her, I would say, ‘Don’t run in 2028.’” I'm guessing one of those Biden holdover staffers who didn't like her from the beginning.

I expect nothing from Republicans. Meanwhile, for Democrats I donated, knocked doors, made phone calls, fundraised, and registered people to vote Blue because they promised to fight for working families. So yes, I will absolutely call out Democrats because I'm not in a cult and I demand justice.
Yeah I’m pretty tired of Dems getting called out constantly and Republicans getting the low-bar pass.

Republicans insisted @GovBillLee’s private school vouchers were all about helping poor kids have “school choice” — turns out they know that was a lie, and they don’t want anyone to have the receipts. It’s a handout for the wealthy. Period. www.chalkbeat.org/tennessee/20...

ProPublica obtained records showing how a DOGE software engineer with no health care or government experience created an AI model to identify contracts to kill at the VA. @bxroberts.org takes us through what we learned when we asked experts to review the model’s underlying instructions and code ⤵️

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

This is well stated. Mike Lee will forever be associated in my mind with his unbelievably cruel and stupid tweets about the Hortman assassination. He is a disgrace to the Senate and Utah.
A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full emails below
