This is your periodic reminder that Democrats introduced legislation in 2021 to ban gerrymandering nationwide and every republican voted against it except two who were absent.

For the record: The Washington Post is run by partisan hacks who think we won't remember that they took the *exact* opposite stance when it was Republicans pushing their own gerrymandering grab in Texas last year -- *without* putting it up for a vote.

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

While Trump's assertion that "a whole civilization will die tonight" represents a discrete threat of genocide against Iran, the fact that it comes from a U.S. president, while Congress does nothing, actually represents a broader civilizational collapse — whether he follows through or not.

Not a single elected Republican member of Congress will condemn this. Not a single member of the Trump administration will resign over this. That tells you everything you need to know about the GOP.

Donald Trump is one of the most evil men in history and if you think "a whole civilization will die tonight" is in any way defensible I hope you have the life you deserve.

"A whole civilization will die tonight" seems pretty warcrimey

i can't believe a republican president did what every republican president of the last 50 years has done (exploded the national debt)

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

Raise Taxes on the Rich? These Rich New Yorkers Are All for It.

Research suggests that an exodus of wealthy New Yorkers is unlikely. When millionaires left New York in 2020 and 2021, studies found that they were motivated by the disruption caused by the pandemic, and the state has gained millionaires in recent years.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

how is "mayor chooses his words carefully" a NYT story but "president chooses his words like a haunted magic 8 ball on meth" not

Plus ça change

Donald Trump cannot stop breaking his promises.

By illegally striking Iran, Trump made a choice—one he did not have to make—that puts American lives and national security at risk while threatening to draw us into yet another expensive, tax-payer funded forever war without Congressional approval.

So, it was Iran? Not China? Not Venezuela? Not the radical left?

We are living inside the minute-by-minute delusions of a madman.

And yet, every day, our most prominent Democratic politicians, scholars, public intellectuals, universities & university leaders, & other civil society organizations continue to use his platform as their primary social media outlet. One cannot help but notice this & draw conclusions.

Journalists don’t need to be posting there

Universities don’t need to be posting there

Scholars & public intellectuals don’t need to be posting there

Brian Schatz, who fled here bc once he got some light pushback, doesn’t need to be posting there

No one needs to posting at the Nazi Bar anymore

I have nothing new to add to the commentary about this except that it breaks my heart that someone who has never covered news is in charge of CBS News. You can hear it in every vapid sentence she utters.

Immigration officers assert sweeping power to enter homes without a judge's warrant, memo says An Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo obtained by The Associated Press reveals that the agency allows immigration officers to forcibly enter homes to make arrests without a judicial warrant.

BREAKING: Immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, a memo obtained by AP says.

I will never get over the fact that the Republican Party chose as its standard-bearer, and this country elected as its President, quite possibly the worst human being on the planet.

im getting disturbing reports that donald trump is doing exactly what he said he would and the results are exactly as disastrous as everyone said they would be
