Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.
This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

The latest episode of the podcast Bloodwork goes into depth about the process of genocide. I found it very detailed and challenging . @bloodwork.show
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.
Democrats did not want to do any mid-decade redistricting. It was Trump who started it in June 2025 with a phone call to Greg Abbott after more special election losses. Dems warned they’d respond. But Texas did it anyway - without the consent of the voters. Then Dems responded.

Reports indicate Elon Musk controls a secretive network of over 90 companies and entities so he can hide how he spends his money.
No wonder he wanted the Trump admin to “look into” the Corporate Transparency Act, which would have regulated those companies.
Scheherazade By Richard Siken Tell me about the dream where we pull the bodies out of the lake and dress them in warm clothes again. How it was late, and no one could sleep, the horses running until they forget that they are horses. It's not like a tree where the roots have to end somewhere, it's more like a song on a policeman's radio, how we rolled up the carpet so we could dance, and the days were bright red, and every time we kissed there was another apple to slice into pieces. Look at the light through the windowpane. That means it's noon, that means we're inconsolable. Tell me how all this, and love too, will ruin us. These, our bodies, possessed by light. Tell me we'll never get used to it.

Trump doesn't want to extend the ceasefire in Iran.
Israeli soldiers and settlers kill 11 Palestinians in Gaza and in the West Bank.
AOC talking to RFK Jr. Her facial and hand gesture has the spiritual energy of that Italian hand gesture where you pinch your fingers and wave your hand (the "ma che vuo" gesture).

WARSH: The broad contours of the economy are improving. The potential of the economy, the real results of the economy are improving.
TINA SMITH: The reality is there was almost 0 job growth in 2025. That looks to me like not a roaring economy, but a weak economy.
BREAKING: The Southern Poverty Law Center says it faces investigation by Justice Department over past use of paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups.
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.
It’s been 10 years since we lost this musical genius. #Prince. 💙💜
Buffalo is paying for that new Bills stadium, and the profit he made in one year could've paid for the whole thing. And now true Bills fans who've had season tickets for YEARS are being priced out. STOP GIVING THESE BILLIONAIRES TAX BREAKS WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE MONEY!
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has signed an executive order banning state employees from using insider info to bet on prediction market apps like Kalshi and Polymarket, warning the unregulated boom “opens the door to insider trading and abuse.”
The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...
still not over how we have confirmed proof via leaked documents that the SCOTUS shadow docket is a complete farce where the FedSoc justices get to unleash their unbridled political opinions and remake the American legal & economic system however they & their rich friends like
The Onion wants to make us submissive slaves to the New world order.
Correct.
"This is an important thing to think about."
Got to say "one enema away from solving world hunger" on cable news' most watched show last night. InfoWars is already paying off.
I'll have a piece on this today. Two things to remember:
1) Rs are doing this *because* they want no oversight for ICE/CBP. They've refused all bipartisan reforms, so are going it alone w/out any reforms.
2) Opportunity cost. If we're spending $70 bn, it should go to HELPING people, not to DHS.
We should also be clear: Republicans are funding ICE/CBP through reconciliation *because* they want no oversight for those agencies. Republicans have refused all bipartisan reforms, and are going it alone specifically to avoid having any reforms.
The new money from the Senate reconciliation plan could be used better by directly helping Americans instead of providing more funding for the Department of Homeland Security Select services and how many people could receive any of them through the end of fiscal year 2029 with funding equivalent to what is called for in the Senate Republican budget resolution Table with 6 columns and 2 rows.

New from me: Trump's plan to pump more money into ICE and CBP is a missed opportunity to help Americans.
Republicans want to give $70 bn to ICE/CBP, funding them through the end of Trump. Here's what we could do with that money instead.
