Such an interesting coincidence that the New Meritocracy™️ happens to be composed solely of white men

Hindu here 🙋🏽‍♀️. And I am speaking for myself, not all Hindus.

Hinduism, as I (personally) understand it, is not mutually exclusive with other faiths. We are not asked to disavow other religions. I am a member of my local church! Vance is very fortunate if Usha has a similar ecumenical outlook 1/

Not a word from the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt on Tucker hosting Fuentes. Amazing.

I just checked his Twitter feed and plenty on Mamdani and even Norway (!) but not a word about a top conservative podcaster hosting an infamous Holocaust denier.

Greenblatt is beyond parody at this point.

3 words in Letitia James’ mortgage contract could doom the fraud case against her James is charged with illegally collecting rental income on a second property. But her contract permits renting, according to POLITICO’s review of her contract and legal experts.

It is a good thing, in this case, that the Trump Administration is so incompetent. They wanted to get even with Letitia James, but her contract permits the thing they charged her with.

Sean Duffy’s holy war at the Transportation Department “Could we bring Jesus up from the basement?”

Sean Duffy, Trump's Secretary of Transportation and a professional attention-seeker, found a way to turn highway procurement matters into an opportunity to pander to the MAGA base.

He's been enthusiastically using the agency to spread the Gospel and advance his mission to make America fecund again.

Never do an interview with Tara Palmeri.

"His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew. His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence. Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation. These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him. Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse."

BREAKING

Prince Andrew will no longer be a Prince of the United Kingdom.

In an extraordinary move, Buckingham Palace has announced that the King is stripping him of that style.

Presumably, he will now be known as Andrew Windsor.

The Palace also stated he has been ordered to leave Royal Lodge.

Their Professors Caught Them Cheating. They Used A.I. to Apologize. Two professors at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign said they grew suspicious after receiving identical apologies from dozens of students they had accused of academic dishonesty.

Virginia House Advances Democratic Plan to Counter GOP Gerrymandering Read more here.

BREAKING: In a 51-42 vote, the Virginia House advances a measure proposing a constitutional amendment that would allow the state to redraw its congressional map until 2030 “in response to actions taken by another state.”

Kavanaugh stops

None of this is correct. Good thing we have a steady hand on "nuclear"

Let’s be real: approximately ten seconds after you told Tolkien that Catholics couldn’t go to Mass because they were afraid of being disappeared by agents of the government, he’d be out there protesting.

Tolkien fought in the Battle of the Somme. He saw the horrors of war, and the moments of bravery and fear within it up close.

And after all that. ALL that. He wrote Lord of the Rings. He declared true bravery and masculinity to be love, friendship and humbleness.

Musk is everything he hated.

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

Although it is not a ruling, it is, by implication, a pretty clear statement that there is not a majority of the court ready and willing to side with Trump on this issue at this time. - Geidner

I cannot believe there are still people in my mentions arguing that boycotting an election because the candidates aren’t addressing your issue is a way to get them to pay attention.

"I supported the For the People Act when the the Dems put it forward in 2021. Do you remember how many Republicans voted for that bill?"

"No on Prop 50" Chair: [silence]

"It was zero. Not a single Republican voted for independent redistricting commissions nationwide."

Sorry I refuse to entertain the complete non-existent world where white people don’t know that countless cultures, including some of their own but certainly diasporic racialized ones, call their mom’s cousin’s friend’s sister they grew up with “cousin” and call close women elders “aunt/auntie”

#ResistanceRoots

Jonas Salk was born on this day in 1914 in New York City. He is best known for developing the first safe and effective polio vaccine, one of the most significant medical breakthroughs of the 20th century. He famously refused to patent his vaccine or seek any profit from it. /1

Awful piece. Just because so many white people are culturally ignorant and don’t know that Aunt, Auntie, Cousin are all terms to describe family members or close friends of our parents - even if that’s not their blood connection. The racism, the desperation, the sheer…..smallness of these attacks!

This is precisely why the Virginia Attorney General’s race will be consequential.

If Republican Jason Miyares is re-elected, he will fight AGAINST new Democratic maps…and fight FOR Donald Trump.

I hope all Virginia Democrats think long and hard about this when they cast their ballots.

The Military’s Missile Defense System Cannot Be as Good as It Says Kathryn Bigelow’s new movie, A House of Dynamite, is more accurate on this point than the Defense Department itself.

The Pentagon is annoyed with Kathryn Bigelow’s new movie, “A House of Dynamite,” for making the U.S. appear to have weak missile defenses—but the movie is more accurate on this point than the Defense Department itself, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues.

Literally anyone I am remotely related to I refer to my “aunt,”
“uncle,” or “cousin,” (and any older Indian person I actually call “auntie” and “uncle”) and I’m pretty sure that’s quite common among South Asians

🧵There's a pernicious myth that Republicans have more money than Democrats. In fact, Democrats have raised more—including so-called "dark money."

Republicans have less money but understand politics better. This is why they win.

My upcoming e-book "What Republicans Know" discusses…

In response to "A House of Dynamite," the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency sent around an internal memo with the talking point that US defenses are *100 percent accurate*.

Ah, no.
