Washington Post Editorial Board headline: “The Texas gerrymander freak out. What’s happening in Texas is not a threat to democracy.”

Washington Post Editorial Board headline: “Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss. The redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Democrats. Voters went along with it.”

The Washington Post Editorial Board was fine with Republicans gerrymandering in Texas.

But when Democrats responded in Virginia, it’s a “power grab” that “plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss.”

Let's sum up Trump's tariffs.

1) They were illegal and also corrupt and arbitrary.
2) They did real damage to economy, esp farmers, small business.
3) Lutnick cheerled them while his spawn prepared to $$.
4) Corps (& some small businesses) finally getting refunds.
5) Consumers will get squat.

It's harder to measure but I feel like RFK Jnr shutting down funding for MRNA research is actually up there with DOGE cuts and this latest Iranian war as a contender for Most Evil Things Trump II has done. Accounted properly, this regime is really wracking up 20th-century-dictator kill counts imo.

Have been wondering when candidates would start talking about this. One of the biggest corruption scandals is U.S. history playing out in real time.

Great to know we have an objective jurist who focuses on the merits of the cases before him on the Court

Record profits are unpaid wages and unpaid taxes.

Agencies in talks with Trump, family to resolve $10B lawsuit over tax leaks President Trump and his family are suing federal agencies over leaks of their tax information. Court filings say they’re in talks to find a solution instead of heading to trial.

that beep beep beep sound you hear is the president and his family backing a truck up to the US treasury...

Unbelievable corruption right in front of our faces.

The US Border Patrol chief being a god damn monger seems like a thing that congressional Democrats should be absolutely hammering the Trump administration for in public. It's righteous AND politically savvy to make a stink about this.

Another pardoned Jan. 6 rioter to admit guilt in child sexual abuse case David Daniel has reached a plea agreement with federal prosecutors after a judge ruled that President Donald Trump's pardons in the Capitol attack didn’t apply to child exploitation.

She reportedly parted ways with Bezos with a jaw-dropping $38.3 billion in Amazon stock. Their divorce settlement included a 4 % stake in the online retail giant or 19.7 million shares. Under the agreement, Bezos kept 75% of the couple's Amazon stock, along with voting control of her shares. Jan 11, 2023

MacKenzie Scott has given away over $19 billion in the last 5 years and experts say she's 'changed entire fie... MacKenzie Scott acknowledged another $2 billion in donations as 2024 comes to a close.

MacKenzie Scott, worth $41.1 billion, is on a philanthropic tear and has donated an estimated 46% of her net worth.

Just to give a sense of the insane scale of billions of dollars…MacKenzie Scott got about $38 billion after divorcing Bezos in 2019. She has become the world’s most generous philanthropist, giving away over $19 billion…and she’s currently wealthier than she started.

Just. Tax. Them.

revising history as it happens is the primary role of the news media

The same week the NYTimes was devoting its significant resources to producing this ridiculous piece about Lauren Sanchez Bezos's call for rich people to not worry and be happy, Ryan Hass, an independent journalist in Oregon, was investigating this horrifying story about a death in an Amazon plant.

Now, you might say, "What about all the knowledge we'd lose if we push all the abusive geniuses out of academia?!"

But I'd counter and say, "Well, what about the knowledge we've already lost from the budding scholars whose careers they've derailed with their abuse?"

Great thread on how ICE is effectively outsourcing their mass deportation mission to local police, leveraging the already significant funding they receive and the impunity with which they operate in communities.

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

Everyone needs to be talking about how we will pay the price for DOGE’s data theft if they are not held accountable.

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

Really weird to be a Gen Xer who lived throug the Rs' moral panic and social stigma of teen pregnancy in the 80s only for their open and unapologetic position now to be that teens should be pumping out more babies, by force of law if necessary

@washingtonpost.com do better, edit the headline. CDC career staff & scientists did NOT delay data. The Trump administration delayed release.
From your friendly, illegally fired CDC staff and our allies.
