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

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

Virginia is for haters now

Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer.

Dems in Virginia respond by putting it UP FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, it passes, Republican cry foul.

Oh well. Good job Virginia!!

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

AOC: “If the determination is that Donald #Trump cannot be trusted in the Situation Room & in unfolding scenarios, then he's not fit to be president”

Incredible shots of the exchange between Rep. AOC and RFK, Jr. at today’s congressional hearing.

This MAGA influencer lied and said he was with CNN to trick gay dads into being interviewed. Then he accused them of sexually abusing their child because they're gay.

The right wing propaganda machine moved from "trans people predators" to "gay dads are sexual predators" without skipping a beat.

They're saying it's the most unbiased poll question ever. echeloninsights.com/insights/apr...

A Life Hack for the Ultra-Wealthy Is Going Mainstream More families who can afford it are hiring a house manager, a kind of “chief of staff for the home.” By Nancy Walecki

Not a single shred of evidence in the article that this is an actual trend.

What you’re describing is a maid and cook. Those are things rich people have had forever. They’re not middle class things.

The Atlantic pays for some really weird articles.

Tucker can shove his apology up his white nationalist Swanson ass.

Southern Poverty Law Center indicted over alleged use of paid informants in extremist groups | CNN Politics The Southern Poverty Law Center was indicted Tuesday over a discontinued program that used paid confidential informants to penetrate white supremacist and other organizations, Acting Attorney General ...

This is entirely politically motivated to eliminate an organization that has historically fought neo nazis and the KKK. What an absolute disgrace.

The fact that Harris didn’t have to change anything, and Cheney was on board, is the issue.

If Cheney is cool with your campaign, that’s a red flag for that campaign.

Cheney was a net loss for Harris. Slight decrease in base enthusiasm, and she didn’t bring in many new votes.

You don’t appear with every endorsement. Hanging with Mark Cuban was dumb too.

Her campaign management sucked ass.

“For hundreds of years Germany was good enough to receive these elements, although they possessed nothing except infectious political and physical diseases”.

-Hitler, speaking of the Jewish population in a speech to the Reichstag, January 30, 1930.

This is a common line from antivaxxers. It’s how the MAHA cohort online have been defending against the child measles deaths since Trump got elected

Define Jewish State The phrase is even more complicated than it appears.

After seeing the aftermath of Abdul El-Sayed asking Olivia Reingold what she meant by a Jewish state, I became convinced it's a question that should be asked more often. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

You know who else famously used paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups?

The Justice Department.

image of Palantir stock price increasing after Trump elected

Karp once studied and opposed fascism. How did he become someone a Trump defender? Palantir's value is fused to MAGA.

In the Times, @michellegoldberg.bsky.social says: "the best explanation for Karp’s journey — as for most of his right-wing billionaire compatriots — is the vulgar materialist one.”

This is exactly right. It’s not a dilemma though. It’s a line in the sand that will at once once collapse what remains of the rule of law and regulatory infrastructure designed to protect the public.

Did Donald Trump Promise Iran $20 Billion? If So—Is that Treason? On Earth One, no—it’s Iran’s money, after all. But on MAGA Earth, if Biden or Obama had done it …

"This all could have been avoided if Trump had just stayed in the JCPOA...but it was Obama’s brainchild, which meant it had to be torn up, simply because Trump is such an insanely insecure and vindictive man."

CERTIORARI -- SUMMARY DISPOSITION 24-1099 SMITH, KYLE, ET AL. V. SCOTT, ROCHELLE, ET AL. The petition for a writ of certiorari is granted. The judgment is vacated, and the case is remanded to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit for further consideration in light of Zorn v. Linton, 607 U. S. ___ (2026) (per curiam). Justice Sotomayor, Justice Kagan, and Justice Jackson would deny the petition for a writ of certiorari.

By a 6–3 vote, and with no opinion, the Supreme Court throws out a lower court decision denying qualified immunity who killed an unarmed, mentally ill man by using "bodyweight force" to restrain him. All three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

This is genuinely impressive. Ossoff knows what he is doing.

This is as good as everyone's saying it is. The anti-corruption message is a good one, imo
