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

The Trump regime doesn’t like the Southern Poverty Law Center labeling hate groups as hate groups, so it’s weaponizing the Justice Department to try to destroy the SPLC. This is DOJ taking the side of the Klan.

CDC won’t publish report showing covid shots cut likelihood of hospital visits The report, which had cleared the agency’s scientific-review process, had been delayed. It now won’t be published at all, people familiar with the decision told The Post.

SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2

It is objectively bad for democracy that both blue and red states are doing extreme gerrymanders.

But the only feasible solution — a national ban on partisan gerrymandering — has only been endorsed by one party. And it's not the one complaining about Virginia right now.

Fairfax tax revenue pays for every one of those rural counties' governmental functions.

every conservative political complaint comes back to "those people shouldn't count because they disagree with me"

lol. lmao. rofl.

What do Highlander and Virginia Republicans have in common?

There can be only one.

Hot take: the open fuck you energy of 10-1 did better than 9-2 would have. L. Louise Lucas was right. Soft-pedaling it wouldn't have sold, "you're goddamn right we are" did.

Video posted from Iranian consulate in India, stating it is going viral in Iran. They are just mocking him….

Gov Abigail Spanberger (D-VA):

“I understand the urgency of winning congressional seats as a check on this President, and I look forward to campaigning with candidates across the Commonwealth working to earn Virginians’ trust — and their votes”

goose outraged after gander plays by same rules

oh no republicans not your petard, no dont hoist no stop not your own petard bros

The number of Republicans crashing out about getting nakedly gerrymandered is, unironically, a sign that we need to do more of it. You guys are correct! This shit sucks! Welcome to the party, pals! We can all stop doing it any time you like!

This guy gets it (although no one had to watch it after the first couple seasons).

She raised concerns about her company's contracts with ICE. Then she lost her job Billie Little had worked for Thomson Reuters for about two decades. She was fired after questioning whether federal immigration agents unlawfully used their products.

this sucks www.npr.org/2026/04/21/n...

If companies insist on touching that stove, it's our job to make them feel the heat.

So, a legislature pushing through gerrymandering, bending rules to do so, is democratic but a Commonwealth and state putting it to a vote by the electorate is the end of democracy

Me, when people are quoting my story to highlight all of the good work people in Minneapolis are doing

Investigating the Good Guys DOJ claims the Southern Poverty Law Center was "paying off" the Ku Klux Klan. The group's track record and common sense suggest otherwise.

A little background on who the Southern Poverty Law Center is and what kind of work they’ve been doing for decades makes it clear that DOJ’s indictment (which is of the center, not of any individuals) is vindictive & malicious, an attack on civil rights work itself. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.

GOP - *gerrymanders*

DEMS - hey stop that no fair

GOP - *gerrymanders even more*

DEMS - we mean it we’re gonna sue

SCOTUS - *legalizes gerrymandering completely*

DEMS - *start gerrymandering*

GOP - HEY STOP THAT NO FAIR!!!! 😭

They think you're stupid.

He's a liar and a killer. I don't know what else to tell people, he's a rich eugenicist, he wants as many poor people as possible to die in the name of 'health.' He's a genuinely and uniquely malign figure in American life and his appointment was an act of violence

i think if you want to say that the VA plan is vengeful and Becoming The Monster and all of that you need to explicitly grapple with the 2031 reset to nonpartisan redistricting.

otherwise i just kind of assume you don't realize it sunsets

Texas loves the criming. Just can't get enough of it.

Me, an hour ago: Not sure about this "Virginia"

Me, now: These voters are wise and must be trusted

(2029)
GOP: noooo you can't send the DOJ and IRS after our groups THAT'S CHEATING 😭

Dems: Ha-ha! indictments machine goes brrrrrrr
