NEW: @agomezfcc.bsky.social the lone Democratic commissioner at the FCC, out with a statement after a federal judge blocked Nexstar's acquisition of TEGNA through a preliminary injunction while an antitrust lawsuit proceeds.
Florida is so aggressively gerrymandered -- I'd be surprised if they can squeeze much more out without making Republican districts susceptible to a Democratic wave.

Yes, even if this is true, one or both of Thomas and Alito could resign and be replaced if Republicans lose the senate in November. But that would make the Democratic case for court reform much stronger.
It’s been another fruitless week in Washington under Republican leadership. The Department of Homeland Security is still shut down, gas prices remain high, and Congress has done nothing to prevent further military action in Iran.
Given that the smart money on Patel circa February 2025 was that it was just a matter of time before he started arresting Democratic senators, the fact that he’s instead used his job primarily to party himself to death feels like a rather large bullet dodged. Let the man cook.

“The next president must say on day one: We’re tearing down this arch; we’re razing Trump’s ballroom…Washington ceremonial architecture must be returned to the purpose for which it exists—to promote democracy, not the demented, bruised ego of one sick man.”

Israni, one of my *Democratic* opponents on donating to Laura Loomer's congressional campaign:
"'That was a mistake. I did not do the research on who she is and I completely own that.'"
It strains credulity. Laura Loomer is known for two things: Trump and hating Muslims. You can't miss it.
Arizona Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly’s legal team is urging a federal appeals court to uphold a ruling that allows the former Navy captain to keep his retirement rank and pay while his First Amendment case against the Pentagon moves forward.

A UPS plane had to abort landing after a jet approached the runway at Louisville International Airport in Kentucky on Tuesday, in another near-miss this week.
That guy from The Real World, Sean Duffy, really needs to get off Xitter whining about Democratic governors and start doing his actual job.
It’s becoming clearer that when all the Swalwell dust settles, it will have taken out a lot of Democratic elected officials. Mostly the men, but I expect some of the women too. Everyone is going to get put under a microscope.
Former President Obama is ramping up pressure in Virginia to have voters support the state’s redistricting measure and give Democratic candidates a stronger chance in the November midterm elections, telling Virginians, “we’re counting on you.”

I don't think he meant the host, in the context of how he sets up the response, but I was about to be like: Democratic minority whip [checks notes] Kasie Hunt?
Again: there is no viable Democratic candidate who doesn’t say they will seize this money back. I’m sorry, this isn’t like a negotiable issue. You either refuse to let him get away with this or there’s no point in having another president after him anyway.

Former Democratic House Rep. Max Rose blasts Tulsi Gabbard for her “public fealty” to Donald Trump:
“The second price of admission appears to be that you have to embarrass yourself publicly.”
Tulsi is a Russian stooge, so it appears she’ll do anything to appease Putin too.
