Ossoff: "The financial entanglement, the way UAE money, Emirati money has compromised this WH is astonishing. It may be one of the most significant scandals in US history. Who are Trump's 2 chief negotiators? Kushner & Witkoff. The people doing diplomacy are at the same time on personal business."
Ossoff: "When you throw people off their health insurance and drive up their premiums and gut the Medicaid program in order to cut taxes for the wealthiest people in the country, that's also corruption. That's the corruption that's endemic in our political system and predates Trump."
Kash Patel turns reality on its head: "You have to ask yourself about the explosion of crime under the Biden administration, and thankfully President Trump was put in place to tamp it down."
(The crime wave that ended under Biden started during Trump's first term.)
Ossoff: "I have zero interest in running for president in 2028. I love serving the state of Georgia. Let's keep our eyes on the ball, folks. We need to win decisively in Georgia and every battleground state and every competitive US House district this fall."

"You have a successful effort at times to muzzle conservatives, and when you learn about what's alleged in the indictment it should make you check yourself" -- Acting AG Todd Blanche is on Newsmax taking a victory lap for the SPLC indictment, giving away the game as to what this is truly about
REPORTER: I just want to make sure I understand. You're alleging that the Southern Poverty Law Center was paying the leaders of KKK and other groups?
BLANCHE: I'm not alleging it. The grand jury returned an indictment that says that
Anyone who shows up for this travesty is knowingly choosing to act as a prop for authoritarian kabuki because they’re too cowardly or amoral to pass up vapid schmoozing and free drinks. They deserve your contempt, and possibly a few pieces of rotting produce.

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.
I would watch a reverse heist movie where people stole from a rich guy's hypersecuritized mansion and gave the artwork to a public university's special collections
Anyway, I am a museum enthusiast and stealing from public institutions then selling those historic works of art to evil, rich people who will stash them away where no one can see them makes me very angry
Talking about how heists are inherently cool and sexy is really not helping you beat the “a core problem of our age is that too many people think movies are real” charges, tbh
not replying to phone calls or text messages from your same state, same party coworkers wondering where you are is pretty weird

Breaking: Iran picks up released U.S. Navy Secretary John Phelan off waivers.
Welp, it’s not as if the Hegseth is firing the Secretary of the Navy when we have ships actively in harm’s way, say, like they were forming a blockade of Iran in the Strait of Hormuz and intercepting other boats, right?
On the other hand, John Phelan is incompetent, so I guess it balances out
John Phelan has been fired as Navy secretary after months of simmering tension with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, according to U.S. officials.
Top Pentagon leaders were particularly annoyed last fall when Phelan pitched the idea for a modern battleship directly to Trump officials said.-WSJ
My G-d

Of course it’s just an excuse to not answer.
To those complaining about the Democrats' partisan gerrymander in Virginia: Congress has the power to ban partisan gerrymandering in congressional elections under its Article I, Section 4 powers.
So far Republicans have been almost uniformly opposed.
Is this going to change now?
Karoline sucks, but…

I was trained as a political scientist specializing in institutions. But the abuse of history in what passes as originalism is pissing me off. And now I'm armed w/ 16 years of research in the very relevant topics of migration and citizenship. I'm joining other historians in calling out the BS.
Hi, journalists and others! We had a video/image outage for a couple of hours yesterday, and I'm curious what you feel Bluesky could be doing better to communicate in situations like this. Where is it most natural to look for information? What info do you need and how quickly/often? Thank you!
most gerrymanders are republican legislators saying fuck the voters
these ones are the voters saying fuck republican legislators
Is there any valid reason someone would go through so much effort to protect the KKK? Dark days indeed
