🚨BREAKING: Ninth Circuit AFFIRMS lower court decision striking down Arizona voter suppression law H.B. 2492 which imposed unconstitutional and burdensome proof of citizenship requirements. A big victory for our clients and the voters of Arizona. A stinging defeat for the RNC.

Some sound advice:

Anyone want to bet that no one looks at the email responses that Musk asked for ? It requires too much manpower and organization. Even w/AI He will hold them in the event he has an interaction with someone. If so, he can look up their response or lack of, and use it as cause for action.

Democracy dies in décolletage

Call to Action: The Merit Systems Protection Board, an independent federal agency that safeguards federal employees in employment disputes, has paused the terminations of six probationary federal workers across various executive branch agencies and departments for 45 days.

“You’re terminated because…?” Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside. DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

Maybe the most illustrative sentence about what’s going on that I’ve read in weeks.

Colorado's Rep Brittany Pettersen (D) flew cross-country with her one-month-old to vote against the GOP budget tonight. Dems ended up one vote short. Pettersen was part of an unsuccessful bipartisan push to allow new mothers to vote remotely. #copolitics

Republicans are too chickenshit to hold town halls. Shocker. Here’s an idea: Democrats, hold town halls in Republican districts.

💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes. Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out

By all means don’t listen to the voters

aint no way we cut medicaid and housing assistance so jeff bezos could buy this shirt

I believe we have breaking news in Inside Medicine. I spoke to a member of the FDA vaccine committee who confirmed that the meeting to decide the 2025-2026 flu shot composition was abruptly canceled today. My on-the-record Q&A with the FDA advisor: insidemedicine.substack.com/p/scoop-fda-...

This is a hard but necessary read: ending USAID means children starve to death.

Well that was a real vintage House day. Sorry we didn’t deliver a better result but this was imo a Pyrrhic victory for the Rs, who struggled and nearly failed at the easiest step of a process that gets much harder. Goodnight, thanks for reading, we’ll be back here fighting the bastards tomorrow

I have decided to cancel my show at The Kennedy Center on May 11, 2025 and move it to The Anthem.

The debt is so bad we have to fire military veteran park rangers but not so bad that we can’t add trillions to give Trump and Elon more money.

Illinois public schools are not changing curriculum as it relates to LGBTQ+ issues, despite a warning from the federal Department of Education. (wgntv.com/news/illinoi...)

AOC: The order has come down to this committee. Find $880 billion to pay for a tax cuts on yachts, jets, billionaires, and mega corporations while working class people pay higher tax rates than Facebook does. Undocumented immigrants pay more in taxes than many large corporations

This is a great and unfortunate reminder that there are some incredible Democrats elected throughout the country that many of us have never heard of. Another reason why we need to make sure we lift those voices up now.

I would die on the spot of shame if I were this spineless.

Republicans just voted to destroy Medicaid and they lied and cheated to do it.

YES! Trump fired Hampton Dellinger. Judge reinstated him. Dellinger asks MSPB to block the firing of 6 probationary federal employees. SCOTUS punts on Trump’s request to remove Dellinger anyhow. MSPB grants the stay. MAJOR WIN FOR FEDERAL WORKERS.

You should read this even though it’s on Substack. This is really fucking important information (those of us who are terminally online saw this coming for a while, and it’s just now starting to seep into the collective consciousness)

❗️According to Russian media, the EU has disconnected 13 Russian banks from SWIFT in the latest sanctions package and banned 8 Russian media outlets from broadcasting in Europe. New restrictions have also been imposed on supplying Russia with software, equipment, and technology for oil/gas extraction

Tesla stock fell 8% today. Time for Elon to send an email explaining what he does.

Agree. This needs to be elevated and talked about above the noise.

Zelensky is a real leader. ❤

Our German supporters made us realize we made a mistake, and we want to acknowledge it. Germany, you’re in our thoughts. While we’re relieved that AfD was defeated, we understand this is not a moment for celebration. There is still much work ahead, and we stand in solidarity with you.

Elon’s own AI says that he is the biggest propagator of this disinformation on X.
