This seat is open because asshole Democrats in the Senate wouldn’t confirm Biden’s pick for the 3rd Circuit because Biden’s pick was Muslim and did pro bono work for Muslim clients.

Absolutely love that this DOGE flunky's mewling justification of his work starts with his talking up that he wished there had been a voter-canvassing app in 2016 — which there was. But this is the pattern: know nothing and assume you are ahead of the game. sahillavingia.com/doge

NPR's new lawsuit is a powerhouse, identifying multiple, independent ways the Trump administration violated the Constitution in order to take revenge on public media. Bottom line? This administration is scared of the truth & this lawsuit reveals that weakness. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

#GVerse #Pathetic: James Comer was left speechless when asked if he read the GOP’s bill. He hadn’t. And it’s worse. Watch his face when he realizes the bill he’s defending erases Congressional oversight and gives #Taco47 unchecked power. He voted for it anyway.

For being a bunch a people who ranted endlessly about "making America great again," they sure didn't understand what it was that made America great.

Some of Trump’s damage is visible right away. But much of it, like gutting science funding, attacking universities, and driving away tourists and foreign students, will haunt us for decades. This chart is just the beginning.

1/2 This outstanding video is a must-watch in 2 parts In Tennessee, immigration advocates are stepping in where the system fails. ReMix TN runs hotlines & posts alerts to warn communities when ICE teams up with state troopers—turning traffic stops into deportation traps. No warrant. No cause.

The GOP snuck another ugly detail in Trump’s “big beautiful bill” to punish single parents. The bill exempts a married parent with small children from new work requirements, but compels compliance for single parents who have less time to navigate all the red tape they’re adding for SNAP assistance.
