Phang: We don’t need the Ten Commandments hanging in Texas schools. What we need is common-sense gun legislation—so the kids can live. If my kid goes to a public school in Texas and they can’t come home alive, I don’t give a shit about the Ten Commandments being posted on the wall.

NEW: Post-conviction petitions are a vital resource for those incarcerated alleging injustice. But those filing don't have the right to an attorney and face "egregious" delays -- some cases taking a decade. news.wttw.com/2025/05/27/e...

Pretty wild to be living in a time when humans are being forced to work in order to even be considered deserving of life or even to be considered human at all, while simultaneously human labor is being systematically eliminated from the concept of work.

If I’m a foreign government right now—the one lesson that I’ve learned at this point is that there is no durable agreement to be made with this administration. Any assurance, policy, or deal will be arbitrarily annulled by a random 3 am post. No point in expending energy negotiating with this.

ugh. Court 6-3 grants government relief that is simply unlawful under the Humphrey's Executor decision, which remains good law. Kagan files highly persuasive dissent for 3 saying under Hump Exec, this is an easy case; and if you want to overrule or gut it, the emergency docket is no way to do it.

Are you shopping for a home right now? Or were you planning to buy a home -- but are now putting it off? Did you just buy? I'm working on a story for @npr.org, and I'd love to hear from you. Drop me a line with your situation and a good phone number to reach you. I'm at [email protected]. Thanks!

UnitedHealth secretly pressured nurses to change patients' records to include DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate) without their consent, so those patients would die instead of being saved with medical interventions that could cost UnitedHealth money. This is murder. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"There's no good art anymore" is such an upside down looney tunes ass opinion when we're surrounded by people making amazing shit all the time on here. There's no good art? Get better at searching. Good lord.

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

🤬😡🤬 💙✊💙✌️💙🦋💙

Crockett: That’s why they hired everybody from Fox because all they’re trying to do is put on a show.. I want us to refocus our attention on the American people and stop demonizing every person that ends up in ICE custody… *Applause* Van Drew: *bangs gavel*

McIver: "If I'm gonna be charged with a crime for doing my job, it just speaks to where we're headed in this country."

Is it too much to ask for an IRS Commissioner who understands the law?

There needs to be a spreading hands emoji for posts like this. This is so well said.

It's remarkable how much of this administration's agenda has been laser focused on simply making life worse for ordinary Americans.

Hurricane season starts June 1 and if you live in a Gulf state, you need to watch this. It’s worse than you might think. The few employees still left at FEMA admit: they are not prepared. Not enough staff. Not enough supplies. Not enough leadership. Plan accordingly.

On this day in 1954, the Supreme Court ruled school segregation laws unconstitutional in Brown v. Board of Education. 71 years later, the U.S. has made progress – but we must continue the fight for civil rights and racial equality.

Jim Henson left us 35 years ago today. I loved being on the Muppet Show!! Here’s a video of me with my buddies!

so @bettergov.bsky.social is giving out an investigative journalism award, and to celebrate they are bringing in RAHM EMANUEL to talk about government transparency who is an expert i guess because as mayor he COVERED UP THE MURDER OF A CHILD

This is it right here. This is how you do it. Good for this kid. www.commondreams.org/news/transge...

When Nashville SC defeated Charlotte FC on Saturday, the supporters section lacked its usual verve and had visible gaps throughout the risers. The reason was explained in a pair of large white banners. No estamos todos aquí. We are not all here. www.nytimes.com/athletic/634...

Sarah Ortiz has spent years trying to prove that her ex used her personal information to rack up $45,926 of debt in her name without her knowledge. Unfortunately, Sarah's story isn't new. Scores of women across the country are victims of coerced debt—and it's ridiculously hard to crack down on.

Every day, we should all be asking the same questions of our political representatives and political reporters: Has the president been removed from office yet because of his obviously broken brain? No? Why not?

The Lutherans in DC have the right idea.

I get why people are upset with David Hogg. But people also need to understand that the average voter's impression of "Democratic politician" is an 80-year-old insider trading cancer patient who talks like a focus grouped robot & stares helplessly like a deer in headlights in the face of problems.

oh this is a real helpful one
