Six men blocking the women they’re “honoring” is peak MAGA.

I just finished writing my reflections on tonight's big win in Virginia. I've been fighting this fight for ten years, including three cases in SCOTUS. Tonight we won a big one at the ballot box.

MAGAs lie when they claim they just want "legal immigration." No—they want to ban all non-white immigration. Trump is planning to force Afghans who risked their lives to aid US forces against the Taliban to either live under the Taliban where they'll be executed, or go to the Congo. Beyond absurd.

The victory in Virginia tonight reminds us that the people will defend democracy.

Virginians who care about fairness didn’t just win an election – they have stopped Trump’s attempt to steal the 2026 midterms.

A message to the White House: We will fight everywhere. And win.

Trump just issued a last-minute warning to Virginians that if they vote YES on the redistricting referendum tomorrow, he will lose power:

“If the Democrats get additional seats, they’re going to be making changes at the federal level.”

Republicans are finding out how Americans really feel about their authoritarian tactics.

It’s a good day.

Southern Poverty Law Center indicted on federal fraud charges by Alabama grand jury Justice department’s inquiry focused on the civil rights organization’s prior use of paid informants to monitor hate groups, the CEO said

Going after the ppl who are going after hate groups seems kinda Faschy #SPLC

Going after the people going after Hate Groups is pretty fucking #fascist, don’t ya think?? #SPLC

The Justice Dept’s theory of the case— that the group that single-handedly disassembled the Ku Klux Klan defrauded its donors by concealing that it was using paid informant to do that work and more— has about as much merit as the now-dismissed charges against Jim Comey.

Did Kash Patel read his own lawsuit?

When asked why he was locked out of his computer — as The Atlantic reported and Patel *admitted* in his lawsuit — Patel denied it happened: "I was never locked out of my systems," he just claimed.

What his lawsuit says: buff.ly/JTRuZKf

Warsh claimed that the Wall Street Journal had bad sources. Their source was Donald Trump himself. Either Trump lied to the Journal or Warsh just committed perjury.

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

‘We were terrified they were going to kill us’: fishers who survived US boat strike speak out An Ecuadorian fishing crew describe their ordeal as victims of Trump’s purported war on ‘narcoterrorists’

Not the worst part of this, but telling detail, if true.
"Once the men were on the patrol boat, the US personnel boarded the fishing boat and stole the crew’s food and the beer, Palacios said." www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

*Men* have ruined dating…Men.

I am begging every Senate Democrat to vote against confirmation of this clown. Take a stand. Don't try to triangulate. This is an easy call.

(….) HAHAHAHA

…A mentalist???

Omg lollllllll

Irony Croaked.

Because there are no ‘femcels’ - there are just women happily going about their lives without having to put up a misogynistic man-child.

The Supreme Court has been complicit in the undermining of trust, Moynihan argued: By allowing Trump to claim these powers, the Supreme Court is weakening the ability of a future president or Congress to repair the damage he is doing today. If the court goes all in on unitary executive theory, it weakens the ability of Congress to bind the president from doing bad things.

Ka$h is suing the Atlantic over the allegations that he's a reckless, incompetent, 🍸🥃hound, which he denies, while giving the original claims a Streisand effect 🚀 ride.

Lovely. This is definitely a good sign.

Imagine if this guy showed up at your front door and said, “I’m here to collect all of your personal information and while I’m doing that I’m going to clear up some misconceptions about the Nazis.”

So Israel totally talked him into it, then.

"And now, it does seem that even our allies are looking at going forward in the future without America. And that's a place that hasn't existed within living memory of the United States."

@rickstengel.bsky.social and @johnavlon.bsky.social discuss America's self-inflicted drift into isolation.

Sarah Longwell: We are committing superpower suicide in real time. Trump is making China Great Again. Poll: People in *every single one* of the top US-allied countries now believe it’s better to depend on China than on the US. The global balance of power is clearly tilting away from the US and toward China.

One could liken this to Kissinger's "madman" theory of statecraft, except with an actual madman.
