This guy doesn't understand the lives of millions of his constituents. They can and should do something about that.

I’ve said it before, but People magazine should get a Pulitzer for its coverage of this administration.

If you took your kid to the doctor recently for any reason, there's a one in five chance you walked away with an off-label prescription. Nearly half of all pediatric prescriptions are off-label.

PAY CLOSE ATTENTION to how easily the words "stripped of his citizenship" flow off this congressman's mouth.

Stripped. Of his Citizenship.

This is only possible from how far we've sunken into fascism.

That really is the consensus on the Right: It’s all a lie, no one actually wants it, it’s all just a conspiracy orchestrated by globalist elites, it destroys the nation.

It’s the one thing that unites all the factions on the MAGA right: A rabid disdain of pluralism.

I had some sort of weird high-concept sci-fi dream last night and the important takeaway was that @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social was a timelord and his wife Izzy was his companion and that's now going to be my new head canon.

Joe Rogan admits straight men are the real danger to women β€” then blames trans women anyway As Steve-O spoke about compassion for transgender people, the podcaster returned to familiar anti-trans attacks, even while acknowledging that men are the real problem.

He was so close.

You could almost see the smoke coming from Joe Rogan's ears as the wheels were turning.

Kristi Noem Won't Admit Renee Good, Alex Pretti Were Not β€˜Domestic Terrorists’ β€œYou told a lie about them!” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) fumed at the Homeland Security secretary about the American citizens killed by her agents.

Today, Kristi Noem refused 6 times to apologize or admit she was wrong when she publicly cast Renee Good and Alex Pretti -- both fatally shot by her DHS agents -- as "domestic terrorists."

β€œYou told a lie about them!” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) fumed.

Alex Aronson: The Reality of Trump’s Rigged Courts Can we count on the judiciary to save us? Here's what the data says

"The U.S. Supreme Court is no longer functioning as a neutral constitutional arbiter or a functional check on President Trump’s dangerous Project 2025 agenda. Instead, it is operating as his enabler-in-chiefβ€”and a structural veto on democratic governance."

Attorney General James Urges Congress to Pass Senate’s Kids Online Safety Act NEW YORK – New York Attorney General Letitia James and a bipartisan coalition of 39 other attorneys general today called on Congress to pass the Senate version

WTAF are β€œprogressive β€œ state AGs like @newyorkstateag.bsky.social and @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov doing endorsing KOSA, which a lead sponsor has said will be used to drive info about trans people and abortion access off the internet?

By the way, Democrats have now flipped 27 legislative seats in Trump 2.0.

Republicans are still stuck at zero.

Even in 2017-18, the GOP managed to flip a few. This time, just a goose egg, despite several good chances.

Supreme Court orders Dallas to "separate" certain votes Dallas and Williamson counties closed centralized voting centers, which had become a common practice, at the request of local Republicans.

It's as if every time things aren't going smoothly at polling locations it's so easily traced back to Republican-instituted voter suppression efforts... πŸ€”

would be cool if this was the average demeanor of a democratic senator while talking to gop flunkies instead of a gop senator on his way out the door

214. The Court's (Selective) Impatience is a Vice The only theme uniting Monday night's twin grants of emergency relief is the Republican appointees' willingness to upend long-settled limits on the Court's power when, but only when, they *want* to.

I wrote last night about #SCOTUS's grants of emergency relief in the California transgender student and New York redistricting cases, and how the only thing uniting them (beyond the fact that they were issued simultaneously) is the Republican appointees' wholly unprincipledβ€”and selectiveβ€”impatience:

Something else about Vanderbilt's capitulation: VUMC said it would only offer β€œnonsurgical gender-affirming care for adults 19 years and older.” But 18-year-olds are adults. Tennessee law bans this care for people *under* 18, so VUMC is once again overcomplying

What can you even say? These people deserve their inevitable humiliation and the nation deserves journalists with more self-respect.

I'm pretty sure most of us realize it. We're not subtle about it.

Men will be rejected from dates for decades to come when asked who they voted for in these elections.
