He’s running. 😂

Holy smokes! 😮

John Cornyn has been in office longer than I’ve been alive.

He’s had 40 years to lower the cost of housing, healthcare, groceries, utilities, and gas.

What’s the hold up?

I'm watching the #CAGov debate, & all these answers on the gas tax are pitiful. Nobody came close to saying the reason gas prices in California are high: we have 100-year-old refineries routinely holding the state hostage, & branded gasoline is $1/gal higher than non-branded, which is theivery

I will be on the floor of the Senate all night voting NO on yet another funding increase for ICE.

ICE already has more funding than the Marines.

This money should be spent on things Americans need like health care, not Trump’s paramilitary force.

The Onion Is Turning Alex Jones’ InfoWars Into a Parody Site With a Rainbow Logo Love wins.

We are out of rainbow trucker hats. I repeat: We have sold out of rainbow InfoWars trucker hats.

Trump fought to keep the ballroom fundraising contract secret. Here’s what’s in it. The agreement governing hundreds of millions in private donations was kept secret until a watchdog group sued and a judge ordered it disclosed.

#Haïti : Moins de deux mois après qu’une première vague d’affrontements ait conduit au déplacement forcé de près de 3 000 personnes, les combats ont repris ce weekend entre plusieurs groupes armés de Cité Soleil et de Croix-des-Bouquets, deux communes de Port-au-Prince.

Not so niche, in fact. Last week, as you may have read, more than 200 authors quit Grasset, one of France's finest publishing houses, following its takeover by billionaire Vincent Bolloré. Bolloré also owns the railway bookshop chain Relay, whose windows are now full of titles by far-right figures.

republicans will yowl and piss and moan and that to my mind is all the reason to do it

I am shocked. 😐

The indictment is arguing that by paying the informants, the SPLC was helping further extremist activity. But as Ryan notes below, the SPLC was sharing its intelligence with law enforcement. Is the Justice Dept suggesting that the FBI was using that intelligence to help these groups? Makes no sense

The message of the Right reacting to Virginia is the same as the message of "2020 was rigged": no victory by anyone but us is ever legitimate. We are the only ones allowed to win.

These people are cartoon villains entitled to no respect and no trust. Rabid dogs.

For the record: The Washington Post can go fuck itself.

It is impressive, in the current age of widespread shameful debasing of reputations in the face of far right authoritarianism, that no organization in the country has debased itself more or fallen further than the once great Washington Post.

Democrats did not want to do any mid-decade redistricting. It was Trump who started it in June 2025 with a phone call to Greg Abbott after more special election losses. Dems warned they’d respond. But Texas did it anyway - without the consent of the voters. Then Dems responded.

Stop what you are doing and watch this slide

Dan Schulman is the new CEO of Verizon and he is predicting 20 to 30% unemployment within the next 2 to 5 years due to AI.

Not a typo. He thinks 1/3 of people currently employed will lose their jobs by 2030.
