🚨👀 BOOM. A massive Democratic win in Florida.

Keep this in mind ▶️ Miami had not elected a Democratic mayor in more than 25 years until tonight.

Bob Chesney's introductory presser as #UCLA head coach was pitch perfect. He clearly believes in the power of those magical four letters. He has a challenge in front of him. But, given his body of work and his communication skill, Chesney is a good guy to bet on. LFG. #GoBruins

I appreciate the email I have gotten from @warren.senate.gov about the issues with the Netflix/WB merger. Agree with her concerns.

But, where is the email/messaging from her and other hard core anti monopolists about the massive danger of Ellison family looking to take over WB?

If a Democrat is running for a federal official and she or he doesn’t have a cogent analysis and an action plan with urgency on how to go about reforming and rebalancing this MAGA #SCOTUS then she or he is not running a serious campaign.

Jeffrey Zients, Anita Dunn, Tony West, David Plouffe -- these are the people who prevented the 2024 presidential election from featuring a candidate fighting hard against the oligarchs.

Trump was preventable!

“President Trump's political team privately told big GOP donors that the Supreme Court will soon issue rulings on voting rights and contribution limits that could tilt future elections their way, Axios' Alex Isenstadt writes.

Bullish Trump lieutenants Chris LaCivita and Tony Fabrizio told a Republican National Committee retreat in New Orleans over the weekend that rulings on political contribution limits and congressional redistricting will be transformational if they break the GOP's way.
LaCivita and Fabrizio — who steer the president's cash-flush political operation and were senior strategists on his 2024 campaign — expressed confidence in the midterms despite doomsday projections for the party.

During a Q&A with RNC chair Joe Gruters, LaCivita told donors the conservative-led high court has "the ability to upend the political map," a person in the room told Axios.
The two cases Trump's team believes could help Republicans maintain power:

1. Louisiana v. Callais. The court is set to decide whether to gut Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act — the 1965 law that resulted in the creation of districts designed for minority voters.

For years, Republicans have sought to weaken the law, arguing that it constitutes federal overreach and unfairly creates Democratic-friendly districts.
2. National Republican Senatorial Committee v. FEC. The court hears oral arguments today in a case that could eliminate a federal law capping how much big-money party committees can spend in direct coordination with favored candidates.

It's widely seen as the most consequential campaign finance case since Citizens United.”

Trump’s henchmen are openly bragging to Republican donors how the MAGA #SCOTUS will help them win elections by ruling the Republican’s way on campaign finance contribution and redistricting cases.

Trumpers are counting on right wing judicial coup from Roberts.

We Did It, Texas Dems, We Did It Candidates in every legislative, statewide, and federal race. Now it’s time to build power where it counts.

Texas Democrats just did something historic under the leadership of new state party chair @kendallscudder.bsky.social. We have filed a candidate in EVERY 2026 race.

U.S. Senate: 1 of 1

Congress to withhold Pentagon travel funds until it sees boat strike videos Lawmakers quietly stuck the requirement into their must-pass annual defense policy bill.

Aaah ... why are they withholding the quarter of the travel budget? They should withhold the entire amount until Hegseth releases the boat murder tapes.

PS: Would be nice if Dems fought to restrict Cong pursestrings on other matters (ie de-masking ICE etc)

Is It Too Late? No. But We Must Better Understand the Nature of the Battle

Corporate leaders' silence who have "no trouble accepting the benefits of “personhood” under the 14th Amendment" but remained "mute and complicit" re "Trump’s disgraceful attacks on the very principles that the 14th Amendment advances" is "shameful and unacceptable."

The MAGA #SCOTUS is "happy to completely disregard the express, codified will of Congress, allowing their preferred president to neutralize agencies’ regulatory functions by firing people willy-nilly" but when the President is a Dem "use the major questions doctrine to strike their actions down."

@AdamSchefter post on X

"With Daniel Jones out for the year and Riley Leonard week to week with a strained knee ligament, the Colts will work out QB Philip Rivers on Tuesday, as NFL Network reported.

It is Rivers’ birthday today; he turned 44 years old and last played in the NFL in 2020."

It's Magical Sorkinism, the misguided belief that if a progressive said the right witty thing at the perfect moment, the "twist: the doctor is his mother!" of constitutional law, conservative resistance would be forced to acquiesce to our side's brilliance.

But the only thing which matters is "5."

for the love of God - I really wish the elite liberal litigation establishment (if there is such a thing) - would give up the fantasy that using Republican legal doctrine will somehow convince this MAGA #SCOTUS to rule for then. It's the same fantasy of bipartisanship w see from Cong Dem leaders.
