Executive summary of the difference between Blue and Red states.

it's incredible how many stages of fascism you can avoid succumbing to as a voter by simply asking not who this plan hurts but how it helps you

Wouldn’t it be nice if lawmakers cared as much about protecting American children as they do about protecting Tesla cybertrucks?

Twitter is down once again

Lol

NEW: NYT asks Judge Ho to unseal newly filed govt exhibits in Eric Adams case that purport to show "troubling conduct" of SDNY prosecutors: "It is hard to imagine a circumstance in which the public interest would be higher and the privacy interest lower." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Trump Recession Timeline: 1. This will be a Golden Age on Day 1! Prices will come down and economy will boom! 2. These policies won’t cause a recession. We know what we’re doing. 3. Ok, it will cause short-term pain but will be good in long term. 4. This is Biden’s recession!

TORONTO (AP) — Former central banker Mark Carney to become Canada's next prime minister after governing Liberals elect him party leader.

it is truly wild that, as the authors here note, every argument against the plain text reading of the citizenship clause requires twists, turns, contortions and leaps that would make simone biles look like an amateur

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.

Drake came with it 🔥🔥

The new Spokesman for the US State Department.

is it woke to want to end cancer?

What if history just didn't repeat itself, for once?

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

The almost explicit position of these groups is that anything more than a token number of black and Hispanic students in an elite institution is de facto evidence of anti-white racial discrimination.

I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a “eugenic immigration policy,” and wrote, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity." He just resigned. www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...

I need every Dem to eliminate the word bipartisanship from their vocabulary. wtf is with these fcking ppl.?

There were no actions at the ready b/c you never imagined he would take it there. There was never any question that he would.

I don't have a microwave oven, and it takes forever to bake a potato in a conventional oven. Sometimes I'll just throw one in there, even if I don't want one, because by the time it's done, who knows?

@skyeperryman.bsky.social is one of my dearest friends. I could not be more proud of her. Thanks @texasmonthly.bsky.social for highlighting the work this fierce Texas woman is doing to save our republic.

@skyeperryman.bsky.social and the team are doing all the work. All I do is live rent free in MAGA's heads. www.dailysignal.com/2025/02/06/d...

Throwing a party when he and E-Musket kick the bucket

It is notable that Big Law is completely absent from the legal fights to protect democracy. In 2017, they bragged about their pro bono work for the resistance. Now, they are silent -presumably cowering in fear of Trump and Musk. Support the non-profit law orgs and small firms doing this hard work.

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202. I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.

a nice reminder to the press that there is nothing you can do to pacify these people or buy yourself leniency

Another MAGA J6 ‘Patriot’ to add to the list going back into jail.

Donald Trump is neither a savvy negotiator nor a brilliant dealmaker. He is a craven bully who telegraphs not only his final goal but his next move in achieving it. He is the kind of mark every poker player dreams of having at the table — rich, cocky and dumb. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

Wtf is going on?

Pretty wild that Elon is cool being a straight up Nazi now

I don’t think any Democrats should be supporting an insurrectionist, rapist, convicted felon. Enough with the “lead by example” BS. Like who cares what those nasty people think of you.

No better quote from Merrick Garland summarizes why he was the wrong man for the job than this from his farewell speech. From start to finish, he brought norms to a Trump fight and democracy suffered.

Legacy media is telling us that what we see happening isn't really happening.

trump imagines himself a great world leader and what do great world leaders do, in his estimation? they capture new territory

NEW: North Carolina Alliance for Retired Americans, VoteVets Action Fund and individual voters file motion to oppose GOP effort to disenfranchise tens of thousands of voters in state Supreme Court election. Proud that my law firm is representing these brave clients in this fight for voting rights.

Democratic House Rep. Shri Thanedar calling it like he sees it. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

welcome

It’s been a hell of a week since Trump rang the opening bell at the Stock Exchange.

Great news!

Oh hell yeah shitty bowl season is underway
