I decided to write about at each & every one of the 32 states with supreme court elections this year.
Why? On abortion, redistricting, death penalty, & more, these institutions & their elections remain so critical.
So here's everything you need to know. NEW from me:
He’s a whole weirdo.
“Bruce” is his stage name
HUGE scandal if true. Laura Loomer got Marco Rubio to throw two Iranian women with green cards in ICE jail to be stripped of status and deported, claiming they were related to Qasem Soleimani.
Official documents provided to @dropsitenews.com appear to show they are NOT related; they're innocent.
Screenshot of today’s evening AXIOS newsletter that reads: Florida House Republicans are waving the caution flag on using their state in a last-ditch effort to pull ahead of Democrats in the mid-cycle redistricting race. Why it matters: Speaker Mike Johnson told us he's "not worried at all" when asked if he's concerned about the GOP's Florida maps blowing up in the party's face. • But his Florida delegation isn't so sure. • "I like my lines," Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) told us. She's warning about slipping GOP support among Latinos. • "I do have some concerns about five," Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) told us, saying she's "very confident" they could squeeze two, maybe three seats from snap redistricting. • Florida lawmakers will start a delayed special session next week that includes a look at redistricting. But there's opposition in the state Legislature.
Florida Republicans sound the alarms (special attention to FL27)
It’s never looting the Elgin marbles from the British and giving it back to Greece I fear
For the first time since ProPublica reported on preventable deaths of pregnant women under Texas’ abortion ban, the state’s medical board has disciplined doctors in those cases.
Jay Bhattacharya pulls a study because he doesn’t like the conclusions. I cannot explain how bad this is and how it reeks of the stench of ideological zealotry and has no basis in science. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...
A reminder that Hung Cao claimed Monterey that was overrun with witches

it has been nearly nine years since the first QAnon posts, and six years since I started following Alex’s research on QAnon candidates, wtf www.mediamatters.org/qanon-conspi...
Sean Parnell, spokesman for Pete Hegseth: STATEMENT: Secretary of the Navy John C. Phelan is departing the administration, effective immediately. On behalf of the Secretary of War and Deputy Secretary of War, we are grateful to Secretary Phelan for his service to the Department and the United States Navy. We wish him well in his future endeavors. Undersecretary Hung Cao will become Acting Secretary of the Navy.
Trump just fired the Secretary of the Navy and replaced him with Undersecretary Hung Cao, one of the biggest idiots Virginia politics has produced this century (really saying something here) in the middle of the Iran war

Bar associations should be disbarring people left and right for this.
There is no excuse to ever submit a single AI-hallucinated citation to the court. If you do, you should be disqualified from the practice of law.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier confirmed that the investigation into OpenAI’s potential criminal liability was launched after reviewing shocking chat logs between ChatGPT and an account linked to the suspected gunman.
College Where Charlie Kirk Was Killed Revokes Graduation Speaker's Invite Utah Valley University was thrilled that Sharon McMahon, a best-selling author, would speak at its graduation. And then her old posts resurfaced. Listen • 5:02 min
You'll never believe what this speaker--now cancelled thanks to "free speech" warriors like TPUSA & Sen. Mike Lee--posted about Charlie Kirk.
She said she was "gutted" by his murder. She described it as "horrific" and said it "should have never happened." And then she went on to post Kirk's words.
As the conservatives freak out over VA, a reminder:
BEFORE the 2022 midterms, federal courts found that multiple once-covered-by-the-VRA states likely illegally diluted Black votes. But because of Purcell, these illegal maps were used that fall.
So miss me with the pearl clutching.
OMG -- the RFK Jr breathing noises during this hearing are absolutely horrifying
I wrote about a Georgia case of pregnancy criminalization—in which a woman has been charged with murder and possession of a dangerous drug after an alleged self-managed medication abortion—and how the actually dangerous role of fetal personhood laws enable these cases:
Margo Martin @MargoMartin47 X.com Congratulations, Georgia Women's Tennis! The photo shows Trump and five white dudes in red ties standing in front of and completely blocking 10 young women
Priceless post from the official White House social media
actually the most hilarious thing that has happened on bluesky is the tech advisor blocking 300k+ accounts and inadvertently breaking feeds they may have been using for them. people who have never heard of him suddenly can’t load Quiet Posters and whatever and don’t know why lmao
Amazing how many people have seen the most important expose I've ever done: Proof that the president of the United States pooped himself in the Oval Office.
KASH: “I’m like an everyday American who loves his country, loves the sport of hockey, and champions my friends when they raise a gold medal and invite me in to celebrate.”
He . . . he doesn't actually think the U.S. men's hockey players are his "friends," does he?
AOC confronts RFKJ in a Congressional hearing room. She wears an intense expression we all feel.
Incredible.
