The Trump administration just announced they are prosecuting civil rights groups for infiltrating and exposing the KKK and other white supremacist groups.

HASSAN: I agree all should have access to healthy foods, but Trump has made it harder to afford groceries. Do high prices make it easier or harder for families to eat healthy?
RFK Jr: I would say that beef has dropped by 1% last quarter
HASSAN: No. Beef prices are up 20% since Trump took office

Unlike Texas, VA maps approved by voters
Unlike Texas, VA maps temporary
Unlike Texas, VA maps only drawn in response to other states
Unlike Texas, VA maps not racial gerrymander
They think you're stupid.
Mainstream media seems to be shaming Democrats for fighting back.
So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out
So dumb, old, and boring. Trump is at his lowest ever approval rating not because more people are offended by him, they’re just tired of his stale bullshit.

Verge headline: Silicon Valley has forgotten what normal people want by Elizabeth Lopatto Illustration of a brain melting in the sun
"In the place of problem-solving technology, companies have jumped on successive bandwagons like NFTs, the metaverse, and LLMs. What these all have in common is that they are not built to really solve a market problem. They are built to make VCs and companies rich."

Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.
A great dispatch from the Texas border, where Texas Republicans, led by AG Ken Paxton, have targeted a key nemesis of the far right and Christian nationalists: Catholic Charities.
You are not imagining it. Trump is indeed making the GOP elite start “bedwetting” even harder than is publicly evident. They know how screwed they are unless things dramatically change. They’re just trying to staunch the bleeding somehow

Hungary’s PM-elect Peter Magyar says he would enact an ICC arrest warrant for Israeli PM Netanyahu and detain him on arrival.
The election winner said Hungary would stay a member of the International Criminal Court which his predecessor Viktor Orban began withdrawing from last year.
DO “J” defending the KKK? Of course.
Happy birthday to Jessica Lange, George Takei, and Luther Vandross.
Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"

One reason that we cannot have professional diplomats representing the interests of the United States is that it would disrupt a pattern of personal enrichment for the Presidents allies and families.
“They’ll come down fast. They’ll come down easy. Just like my approval rating.”
Guadagnino takes some really big swings. Doesn’t always get a hit, but respect the effort.
Is this a thing people say? The quality of Sister Souljah stand-ins is really declining
You’re either Catholic or you’re MAGA. You can’t be both. Same goes for Christianity, in general.
Former President Barack Obama met with New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani for the first time Saturday, joining preschoolers at a child care center for a book reading and singalong.
