I just finished writing my reflections on tonight's big win in Virginia. I've been fighting this fight for ten years, including three cases in SCOTUS. Tonight we won a big one at the ballot box.

JUST IN: Trump still railing against #SCOTUS. He says he's likely to lose birthright case & complains "certain" justices he put on court "totally misrepresented who they were and the true ideology for which they stand." truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...
For the record: The Washington Post can go fuck itself.

I built a 30 year career here in New York. I've taken Trump to court and won. I've founded organizations to defeat MAGA Republicans.
Now I'm running for Congress to continue the fight against Trump, on your behalf.

A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.
Campaign-style graphic with an orange textured background and the headline “Endorsements.” A banner reads “California State Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas.” Below, two columns list endorsing assemblymembers: David Alvarez, Joaquin Arambula, Juan Carrillo, Anamarie Ávila Farías, Mike Fong, John Harabedian, Stephanie Nguyen, Blanca Pacheco, Darshana Patel, James Ramos, Rhodesia Ransom, Celeste Rodriguez, Michelle Rodriguez, Blanca Rubio, Pilar Schiavo, Sharon Quirk-Silva, Jose Luis Solache, Catherine Stefani, Avelino Valencia, Lori Wilson, and Rick Chavez Zbur. At the bottom, silhouettes of a cheering crowd and a raised hand giving a thumbs-up appear above a small “Becerra for Governor” logo.
These Assemblymembers are standing with our campaign because they know what’s at stake. Their trust means everything—and I’ll work alongside them every day to protect the California Dream.

@timmiller.bsky.social, @jvl.bsky.social and @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social discuss Tucker Carlson’s latest pivot and why nobody should mistake it for sincerity.
Dear Republicans,
On Virginia, you got no one to blame but yourselves. We call this “hoisted by your own petard.” This is what you get for pledging your undying fealty to a corrupt, cheating, anti-democratic idiot.
Sincerely,
Your Former Republican Colleague

Occam's razor: The Trump DOJ, acting as an extension of the president’s will, is targeting a longtime enemy of the MAGA political coalition. This administration loathes civil society.
Q: "Can you say definitively that you have not been intoxicated or absent during your tenure as FBI director?"
Kash Patel: "I never listen to the fake news mafia. When they get louder, it just means I'm doing my job.…I have never been intoxicated on the job."
Trump loses in court. Then he sues the critic. Then he loses that one. Then he sues again. A man who won't stop filing lawsuits he cannot win is not fighting. He's flailing.
The Trump administration is kicking 150,000 Illinoisans off of SNAP on May 1.
He's ripping away help from Illinoisans as the cost of their groceries, gas, and utilities continues to rise.

Employers continually underscore how AI is meant as a giant profit-making fuck you to human employees. This right here needs to be outlawed.
The theory of the case -- that the SPLC defrauded donors by promising to "dismantle" hate groups while secretly paying informants inside said hate groups, a tactic that it has carried out for nearly half a century -- is completely absurd.
Trump comes near the lowest point ever in the AP-NORC poll, with a 33% approval rating to a 67% disapprove. The lowest previous number was 32% in September 2017.
JD Vance also hits a new low, with 53% of the country saying they have an "unfavorable" view of him, compared to 31% favorable.
This is why lawyers advise their clients, particularly the bone-headed ones, not to speak publicly about the details of the case.
trump made a mess then and is now punishing Afghans who helped keep American Service Personnel safe.
I just created this starter pack for people looking to follow national security folks! Please let me know if I’m missing anyone.

Thirteen U.S. troops died trying to get these people to safety — Afghan interpreters, soldiers, and the families of our service members. Veterans spent sleepless nights during the chaotic withdrawal fighting to keep them alive. Now our own government is going to abandon them.
Trump and his administration are determined to destroy the lives of innocent people and tarnish our reputation at every turn.
This is a betrayal that brings dishonor and shame to us.
Thank you to everyone who came out for our conversation at the @latimes.com Festival of Books this weekend! I so enjoyed talking about my latest novel, Coded Justice, and much more!
It’s kind of astonishing how many news outlets have published versions of a “Tucker Carlson apologized for telling people to support Trump” story by writers who very clearly did not listen to the podcast.
I will tell you what this does prove. It doesn't matter if Republicans cheat if you do your job and get your asses out and vote!!
