Texas can require public schools to display Ten Commandments, court rules Appeals court ruling is a victory for conservatives who have long sought to incorporate more religion into schools

This will to go to the Supreme Court of Religious Zealotry.

He's a liar and a killer. I don't know what else to tell people, he's a rich eugenicist, he wants as many poor people as possible to die in the name of 'health.' He's a genuinely and uniquely malign figure in American life and his appointment was an act of violence

Yes.

I know we’re not supposed to like the Iranian social media teen meme army seeing us for what we’ve told them we are on the Internet but I like to think this kind of thing is really just them reaching out and saying we don’t like this either and know you’ll appreciate the hilarity

GOP states gerrymander
Media: this is fine
Democrats sue to stop it
SCOTUS blocks it
Media: this is fine
Dems ask constituents if they can counter-gerrymander on fixed terms
Media: SUCH HYPOCRISY FROM DEMOCRATS TODAY

SCIENTISTS: Get in there, it’s nice and clean.
CHEESE: No whey.

Listen, they are building concentration camps and threatening genocide against a country of 90 million people. There is not a single remotely legal tactic that is impermissible when it comes to stopping them.

I asked X, Paramount, ABC, and Meta where their donations to Trump's Presidential Library went. None of them could give a clear answer.

Tens of MILLIONS of dollars are missing.

Why should Americans trust that this money isn’t going straight into Donald Trump’s pockets?

I Know the SPLC’s Flaws Better Than Most. This Investigation Still Looks Like a Witch Hunt. MAGA has wanted to take down the SPLC for years. Now it has the DOJ to try.

"...it was almost inevitable that a weaponized DOJ would try something like this. Discrediting the SPLC is a way of retroactively rehabilitating everyone the SPLC ever exposed."

Southern Poverty Law Center indicted on federal fraud charges related to past use of paid informants The Southern Poverty Law Center has been indicted on federal fraud charges related to its past use of paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups.

The apparent theory here--SPLC was defrauding donors by paying right-wing extremist org informants, and also took completely legal steps for obscuring the money trail for very obvious reasons on this totally legal thing to do--is ludicrous even by the notoriously malleable standard for wire fraud.

John Roberts' wife is not the only Supreme Court spouse to shake down people with business before the court to give bribes. Ginni Thomas has a "consulting firm" (AKA a PO Box for checks) to funnel money to Clarence. #Corruption

"Consider Sam Altman telling the world that he needed ChatGPT to tell him how to raise a baby. You exist. I exist. Our parents did not have LLMs, or even AI, and yet somehow we survived our childhoods"
Its a combo: intense hubris, contempt for other fields of knowledge, and lack of object permanence

Uggi!😍

The Tariff Refund Nightmare - The American Prospect In principle, Americans are owed $166 billion in refunds of Trump’s illegal tariffs. But actually collecting is like unscrambling an egg.

" What’s clear is that many consumers, importers, and producers will never collect the refunds that they are owed. What’s even clearer is that Trump never should have imposed the illegal tariffs in the first place."

The media blackout of Jared Kushner’s historic, ongoing corruption scandal As Trump's son-in-law returns to Pakistan for more talks with Iran, major news outlets are largely ignoring an egregious

As Trump's war on Iran continues, reminder that his own son-in-law Jared Kushner — who is leading negotiations with Iran — stands to profit from lucrative contracts with its regional rivals.

War gives dictators like Trump (and his family) more power and more wealth.

A question for American historians: were the Robber Barons of the 19th century as corrupt as the technofascist billionaires of the 21st century?

Everyone always seems to forget what a piece of garbage Elise Stefanik is

And I’m not even talking about the lies and hypocrisy

In 2022 she endorsed a candidate who praised Hitler and made racist comments about Michelle Obama

And in 2025 accepted an award from a GOP group that ALSO lauded Hitler

Sending love.
