Republicans are suddenly having some regrets over the redistricting war While Virginia’s new congressional map is already facing a serious legal challenge, Republicans look like they could actually lose seats as a result of the mid-decade redistricting battle.

Ten months after Trump pressed Texas Republicans to redraw their congressional map, the winner of the resulting nationwide redistricting war is yet to be decided.

Any "extraordinarily brilliant person" would know his presidency is in free-fall after his disastrous decision to enter another endless war-of-choice in the Middle East & that on November 3rd accountability is coming for the most corrupt criminal Administration in U.S. History.

'Call Your Senator': New Iran War Powers Resolution Set for US Senate Vote | Common Dreams “This war has simply been a disaster, and there is absolutely no reason we should go full steam ahead back into it," says Sen. Tammy Baldwin.

Yes call - it really does help.

Every time an 🇺🇸 negotiator or government official insults 🇨🇦 or whines about how unfair or unreasonable we are, most 🇨🇦s strengthen their resolve to boycott all things 🇺🇸. These comments aren't helpful. They should've learned that Canadians are a proud and strong country. We'll not be bullied!

Also, start impeaching these corrupt, incompetent Republican judges who make lawless rulings impacting millions upon millions of people.

LUTNICK: It is outrageous that Canada will not put US spirits on the shelf. It is insulting and disrespectful to America


SHAHEEN: They won't do it because of the insults from this president and comments like yours

"We’re in the middle of a pretty important naval blockade standoff with a country we’ve threatened to destroy, so it seems like a weird time for the Secretary of the Navy to abruptly depart.”

Sounds like they only want lapdogs who will follow any orders they are given, especially the illegal ones.

I read a few mos ago NJ is considering restricting as is NY. I’m not sure where they’re at with it at present. Other NE states are mostly Blue Blooded. I’m curious abt PA though. Dem Gov. - any info?

This black-and-white portrait captures Maggie Kuhn (1905–1995), the indomitable founder of the Gray Panthers, an activist group that revolutionized the fight against ageism. Seated in a relaxed yet attentive pose, Kuhn is seen in her later years, radiating a sense of sharp-witted wisdom and gentle defiance. She is dressed in a dark, structured, button-down jacket with a small round collar, featuring a prominent circular political button pinned to her left chest—a hallmark of her lifelong commitment to grassroots organizing. Her silver hair is elegantly swept back, and she wears thin-framed glasses that highlight her keen, observant eyes and a slight, knowing smile. Her hands, weathered by time and adorned with simple rings, rest naturally in her lap, one draped over the arm of what appears to be a patterned chair. The background is softly out of focus, showing a glimpse of indoor foliage and a textured wall, suggesting a television studio or public forum setting where she frequently challenged societal norms. The composition is a medium shot that focuses on her presence as a formidable public figure. The mood is one of dignified strength and intellectual vitality, serving as a powerful visual testament to her legacy as a champion for intergenerational justice and the rights of the elderly.

Maggie Kuhn was forced to retire at 65 & dedicated the rest of her life to fighting ageism & advocating for older adults' rights. Founded Gray Panthers, 1970. Was instrumental in the ban on mandatory retirement.

Active until her death #OTD in 1995 at 89.

Up to 56,000 people died from COVID-19 or RSV last year RSV was associated with 190,000 to 350,000 hospitalizations from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, as well as 10,000 to 23,000 deaths, according to new CDC data.

RFK Jr: I terminated the COVID vaccines because it didn’t make any sense. COVID is gone.

Note: From July 2024 to June 2025 in the US, COVID19 caused up to 450,000 hospitalizations and 53,000 deaths.

COVID ain’t gone, shitbird.

Trump is trying to pressure Afghans who fought alongside us in the war to go back to Afghanistan and live under Taliban rule. If not go back, Trump is threatening to dump them in the middle of a civil war in central Africa. That’s evil.

Donald Trump is losing the 2026 election and he’s preparing to try to steal it—because he can’t accept the American people are overwhelmingly rejecting him.

Democrats should be direct and clear about this—it’s not about the last election, but the next one.

Great to see them putting women right at the front of sport …

I believe this book by Roy Thomas is out tomorrow. Got comps yesterday, it’s a fun read, with lots of pictures of old comic fandom, and Marvel bullpen stuff. From TwoMorrows, so you know it’s good!

$60 billion for war. 46 million people are hungry.

They’re cutting SNAP anyway.

We can afford to end hunger. They’re choosing not to.

Shameful.

Interesting point from @brianbeutler.bsky.social: Yes, Democrats tend to perceive the economy as worse under Republican presidents, too, but they actually have good reason to see things that way!

A prolonged fossil fuel crunch just might, at this moment, be *the* exogenous shock necessary for a rapid global transition to clean energy adoption, but also it's going to be a brutally miserable experience for the world's poorest.

Great.

Military bases weren’t hardened. CIC didn’t care or didn’t know. Just attacked! Several bases within missile range. Not protected. Hegseth said base was fortified & had “squeaker” drone. Troops said it had thin tin sheet of metal. Wasn’t fortified!

Pentagon scrambles for hotels for troop safety!

A photo of Earth taken by the crew of Artemis II.

Born in fire, battered by the wreckage of colliding worlds, covered for eons in magma, wracked by volcanoes, frozen and thawed again and again, and after everything went just wrong and right enough, here it is: our home. The rarest gift in the known universe.

Happy Earth Day.

See how this works?

Sweet Jesus. The taxpayers just gifted $1.25M to this asshole. KBJ was right when she said the Oval Office would become the seat of criminality in America if Roberts granted Trump immunity.

Trump attacks the Supreme Court, the WSJ and wind farms in Truth Social tirade President claims that wind farms ‘kill the birds’ and that Supreme Court justices have shown ‘very little loyalty’

Of course, why wouldn't he??? He's doing nothing else constructive... www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
