Vote Blue No Matter Who: Party Politics as Political Agency Politics is a collective enterprise aimed at controlling the state, and requires working together as co-partisans.

"There will always be an army of internal challengers who seek to knock someone out of their position of power to take it for themselves. This is what much of the mechanics of politics amounts to, ultimately." www.liberalcurrents.com/vote-blue-no...

Happy Earth Day! As a son of coastal Georgia, I know how important it is to protect our environment. Today and every day, I remain committed to protecting our planet and working towards a clean and sustainable future.

Sen. DURBIN: All these questions and charges about Jack Smith. Where’s Jack Smith? That tells the whole story.

Cool new paper & 🧵

Trump and the IRS are in talks to settle his $10 BILLION lawsuit against the agency.

Trump is suing the government, and it's taxpayers like you and me who must pay and may foot his personal payout.

Yet another scheme that Trump is making us pay for.

Judge dismisses Kash Patel's defamation lawsuit over claim he frequented 'nightclubs' The lawsuit against Frank Figliuzzi was dismissed a day after FBI Director Kash Patel sued The Atlantic magazine over claims he abused alcohol.

One lesser-known lawsuit filed by Ka$h Patel in 2025 was against former FBI official Frank Figliuzzi for stating that Patel had been more visible at nightclubs than he has been at the FBI’s headquarters while on the show “Morning Joe.”

A federal judge ruled against Patel.

Burning homes. Attacking schools.

Here’s what’s happening to Palestinians in the West Bank, with the backing of this extremist 🇮🇱 government, as @RepChrisTodd @PaulRoseTN carry their bills to re-name it “Judea & Samaria”

And nobody punished. Echoes of the South’s darkest days.

A federal judge just threw a big wrench into Trump’s efforts to slow-roll renewable-energy permits. The order temporarily blocked a set of Interior Department policies that wind and solar groups say froze new projects.

From a plaque affixed to Judges Cave, atop West Rock in New Haven: "Opposition to tyrants is obedience to God."

Still true.

i think it is cool that the president of the united states routinely slurs black people as biological inferior

This is also good stuff from @gtconway.bsky.social: He says only one of the major parties is functioning as an actor in a democracy, and that this is unsustainable.

"We can’t survive another 33 months of what we’ve seen for the last 15," he tells me.

"[Republicans] have overlooked [Trump's] mental disorders in the past— dismissed them. They've overlooked his depravity. They've overlooked the fact that he is an adjudicated sexual abuser. That he's a convicted criminal ... Because it served their purposes. It no longer serves their purposes."

Settee down everyone, it's not that funny

Sexual misconduct by lawmakers is widespread — but often goes unreported New data from the nonprofit National Women’s Defense League, shared first with The 19th, comes on the heels of the resignations of two members of Congress.

Exclusive: new research from the National Women’s Defense League and shared first with The 19th, has tracked 30 allegations of workplace sexual misconduct against members of Congress made since 2006 — a number the report’s authors say is likely 3-4x higher in reality 19thnews.org/2026/04/sexu...

... but any remaining sense of self-control.

"Everyone around him can see it. Yet, whether from ambition, cowardice, or weary acceptance, they keep looking for ways to rationalize his behavior. The tragedy is no longer Trump’s. It is now America’s."

The verdict of a prominent conservative website and magazine:

"A 79-year-old man who has long dealt in chaos is now being consumed by that chaos. His episodes are becoming more frequent, his good days further apart. What he has lost is not a sense of decency or decorum—he never had those...

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

AOC: In some ways, you kind of want this guy on a golf course more than you want him in the Oval Office. But that also calls into question the 25th Amendment, because if the determination is that Trump cannot be trusted in the Situation Room, then he's not fit to be president.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The interesting thing about the current dynamic is that Trump said he would extend the ceasefire indefinitely, and Iran’s response was basically “fuck you, we’re winning”

They also threatened retaliation for any more vessels seized… which we just did.

He’s a complete moron.

He still hasn’t “won” Iran.

Someone give Pawpaw his meds and put him back to sleep.

As Trump’s lies get more egregious (and repetitive) I have at least noticed fewer mouth-breathing bootlickers willing to defend him in my comments.

And the administration is leaking about how he’s hurting negotiations and how they’re keeping him on the sidelines.

I’ll call that progress.

Trump is really mad at the WSJ for pointing out that he’s getting rolled by Iran.

Lot of people on the right crying about the Virginia redistricting vote.

We told you this would happen while you were celebrating the illegal off-cycle seat grab in Texas.

Stop playing stupid games if you don’t want to win stupid prizes.
