I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

And when was Garland confirmed?

The Facts About Merrick Garland Just the facts; free from outrage and unmotivated by profit.

If you’re going to accuse Garland of complicity, at least have your facts straight.

There are certainly places where Garland fell down, but there were folks in the DOJ and FBI fighting him all the way… And the Supreme Court is compromised.

This is a really good discussion on why strategic gerrymandering makes sense… especially right now.

A dropdown menu presenting options for different ICE detention data-points to overlay on a map visualizer.

A map of the United States, covered in multi-colored placemarkers. Each dot on the map represents an ICE field office, detention center, check-in office, or proposed warehouse.

The question we get asked the most? "Why doesn't your tracker list existing ICE facilities?" Short answer: it does!

Use the dropdown above the map to see hold rooms, field offices, detention centers, and more. Best viewed on a desk/laptop. This data helps visualize the scope of ICE's jail network.

H.R. 1897 is moving fast in the House and could hit the floor for a full vote as soon as tomorrow. This bill would gut the Endangered Species Act forcing economic impact considerations into listing decisions, limiting your ability to challenge bad science in court,

One of these media companies should really come out and say:

"Game on. We are not going to argue a Motion to Dismiss. Instead, we request that Discovery start as soon as possible. In fact, here is our motion for an expedited schedule. When can we start pleadings?"

He only cared about ONE thing...how it looked on TV. Enough has been said regarding the impossible healing job...not enough said about the depravity it takes to kill your followers to make good television.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Is that bad? Seems bad

Yikes! Always something…

We better wake up to what’s happening online. The right isn’t just posting anymore; they’re scaling influence with AI.

📌 AI-generated pro-Trump “influencers” are surging on social media and are starting to shape what people see and believe.

West Virginia dad dies after insurer denied his $50,000 cancer treatment 4 times — 93% of patients face the same delays The vast majority of patients who require prior authorization from their insurer face delays, which can result in permanent disability or even death.

Out of 38 OECD countries, the US provides the worst healthcare for its people.

This time it killed Eric Tenant, 58, who needed cancer treatment, but instead of the US providing it, his healthcare insurer denied it as "unnecessary" four times — and then he died.

Your 'moment of doom' for Apr. 16, 2026 ~ a hard wind

"... we now need a 'Category 6' rating for hurricanes with winds of 193 mph (311 km/h) or greater, because global warming is expected to cause significant increases in maximum potential intensity."

We should be learning from other countries...

Orbán’s Ouster Doesn’t Prove His Critics Wrong Many dictatorships have ended peacefully, so the end of Orbán’s rule in Hungary isn’t proof he was never really taking the country in an authoritarian direction, writes James Kirchick.

Polish communism was also defeated, in the end, by an election.

Ah! I hadn’t thought of that side of the equation.
It still amazes me that Putinist-model dictators need to have some level of democratic process as tissue-paper thin legitimacy.

Their overthrow is possible, but so difficult.

Just know the whole world is cheering you all on.

MeidasTouch host Katie Phang testifies in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on the proposed merger of Paramount-Skydance and Warner Bros.:

"Democracy cannot survive if powerful people get to decide which facts are allowed to exist and what version of the truth they want to peddle for profit."

Is THAT what Trump was talking about when he blathered on about destroying a civilization? 🤔

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

Wow…

Illiberalism Is Not Inevitable If Viktor Orbán can lose, then his Russian and American admirers can lose too.

How did Magyar win? A long running grassroots campaign in rural and small town Hungary; a refusal to be distracted by government propaganda; a focus on economic issues and corruption; a central promise to bring back democracy and the rule of law
