Good news:
The ACLU is spending $750K to inform Georgia voters about their State Supreme Court elections on May 19th.
We need to elect Miracle Rankin and Jen Jordan @jenjordanga.bsky.social

"There should be no mystery why younger Americans are as pro-Palestinian today as their forebears were once pro-Israeli. Rabin staked his life on peace. What will posterity say of Netanyahu?" My column on why America is falling out of love with Israel. www.ft.com/content/353e...
Donald Trump has warned Virginians that voting in favor of a redistricting effort on Tuesday could be a serious blow to the GOP ahead of the midterms, and it sure feels like an ad for Democrats.

Pete Hegseth is starving service members deployed to the Middle East. Now he says the Pentagon will no longer require an annual flu shot. Let him tell us again how much he cares about our service members. Gift article, no paywall.

WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein?
KEVIN WARSH: Those assets will be sold if I'm confirmed
Sen. Warren calls out Trump for trying to tear down the Fed's independence — claiming he's doing so because "he wants the Fed to use monetary policies to artificially juice the economy in the short term" before the midterms.
She says Fed pick Kevin Warsh "is uniquely ill-suited for the job."
In 2002 a 17 year old from Londrina, Brazil boarded Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet in Paris and was trafficked to New York. Around 30 girls were on that flight. Ghislaine Maxwell prowled the cabin. Some girls sat on Epstein’s lap. The teenager was Amanda Ungaro.

This will never not be right to me.
The person negotiating in the Middle East on behalf of the United States does not technically work for the United States.
Al Gore:
“This is the most corrupt administration not only in American history, but more corrupt than I could ever have imagined a president would be able to get away with to the extent that he has. It’s shocking to me.”
White House spent all of Monday waiting for a signal from Tehran that it would send its negotiating team to Islamabad.
A source with knowledge said the Iranians were stalling amid apparent pressure from the IRGC on the negotiators to hold a firmer line: no talks without an end to the U.S. blockade

House Judiciary Democrats are teasing an investigation into FBI Director Kash Patel and The Atlantic's reporting on his alleged intoxication.
Quite a way to start the week…
With accusations from a longtime former Dem Senator that America currently has a:
“Leader who’s f***ing nuts”

Thanks, Brenda. Have a good evening.
Men: don't be sociopaths.
Thanks.
Trump pressured Republican states to rig their electoral maps, because he saw a midterm disaster coming for his party. He knows they will lose big without rigged districts. Virginia can level the playing field and stop his newest scam tomorrow by voting YES for fair election maps. #VoteYesVirginia
The new report on FBI Director Kash Patel cites more than TWO DOZEN sources describing his leadership as a “management failure” and national security risk.
The White House and DOJ didn’t deny the allegations, but deflected.
Patel was the only one who issued a direct rebuttal.
That speaks volumes.
Thankyou Beth 💕💕

I study racist politicians from the Jim Crow era and this is on par with anything that John Rankin, Theodore Bilbo, or Cotton Ed Smith ever said in public
South Park rendition of Trump pointing and bellowing, “I’ll sue you!”
1. First Amendment concerns. The weight of the Director of the FBI on a publication’s investigative journalism should not be understated. And it’s a thin-skinned, duty-shirking move that follows the bombastic lead of a president who has made clear his disdain for information.
People are urging participants in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner to wear pro-1st Amendment pocket squares or take a bathroom break when “guest of honor” Trump speaks.
I have a better idea: Cancel the damn dinner.
We are not being asked to sit in a trench. We are not being asked to sign a document that will get us hanged. We are being asked to stay engaged. That's it. After 250 years of Americans dying for this idea, that's all we owe. I wrote about it here.
