This is what happens when Republicans are given the task of governing. Chaos, economic collapse, and suffering.

Andrew Cuomo gave more money in taxpayer subsidies to Elon Musk than the entire cost of Zohran Mamdani’s free bus plan.

It’s not unreasonable or radical to want our tax dollars to go to programs that help us, instead of as giveaways to billionaires.

Remember how we just went through a multi-week newscycle where Democrats and liberals were lambasted for their "violent" political rhetoric, which included Fox hosts claiming that only one political party was demonizing their political opponents as evil? And how libs needs to lower the temperature?

Racist Young Republican Chat Leaves GOP Stumbling to Respond Split over whether to discipline the offenders or just ignore the whole affair.

"Jewish conservatives, in particular, have grown less than thrilled to find their gentile compatriots so comfortable with gas chamber jokes and even ironic Hitler praise." And anyone who tries to hold to pre-Trump standards. www.thebulwark.com/p/racist-you...

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

Multiple β€œsources” are telling Fox News the swastika in a GOP staffer’s office was just an optical illusion. That’s how fucking stupid they think we are.

Is "Custody death" a Newspeak term for murder?

A verdict form for Sydney Lori Reid. She was found Not Guilty.

A verdict form for Sydney Lori Reid. She was found Not Guilty.

Sydney Reid acquitted.

This was a case where someone filming was assaulted, and then arrested and charged with felony assault.

The grand jury no billed that, so they took her to trial on a misdemeanor charge. There were a bunch of discovery problems.

And now this.

Kudos to the FPDS!

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

The attack dog targeting Trump opponents over their paperwork hasn’t even filed his own As chairman of the board of Fannie Mae, Bill Pulte was required to file a disclosure form with the SEC. He didn’t.

New from me: In March, FHFA director Bill Pulte made himself chairman of the board of Fannie Mae. But after, he did not file a required disclosure form tied to the role with the SECβ€”the same kind of paperwork error he has used to attack Trump's political foes. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Eric Trump attacks Jack Smith for β€œplanting” evidence during Mar-a-Lago search that predated Smith’s service as special counsel

Eric Trump, in three different right-wing media interviews over the past week, accused Jack Smith of "planting" evidence obtained in the Aug. 2023 Mar-a-Lago raid.

Problem: Smith didn't become special counsel until three months after that search. www.mediamatters.org/eric-trump/e...

The empty formalism used to constitutionally forbid diversity-enhancing or remedial actionβ€”that to β€œstop discriminating on the basis of race we must stop discriminating on the basis of race”—is possibly the most invidious trope the Roberts Court has cultivated in our modern legal culture.

JD Vance dismisses Young Republicans who in a group chat said "I love Hitler" and joked about slavery and rape as "a bunch of kids" who "told stupid jokes" and adds that "most of the stupid things I did when I was a teenager and young adult, they're not on the internet."

Now we are up to $40 billion for Argentina. Can anyone stop Bessent from unilaterally sending unlimited amounts of our money to South America? And Republicans won’t even negotiate with the Democrats on health care for Americans. Where is Congress?
