Justice Kavanaugh, demonstrating about as much awareness of the actual world as a white prep school student from affluent Montgomery County, Maryland as we might expect.

Opinion | The Shadow of Jim Crow Looms Over the Supreme Court

This is such a powerful piece from @reptroycarter.bsky.social and @repfields.bsky.social on the importance of the Voting Rights Act.

As the Supreme Court hears arguments on this legislation, it is so vital that we all remember WHY it was enacted.

this is truly invaluable reporting

Can't believe Council didn't pinch run for Turner. What if Nico hit a double?

How does this Bears team have so many pre-snap miscues!?!?! I’ve never seen anything like it!

Stephen Colbert: "This whole thing is the latest and boldest action in a long campaign against media critics. Trump has personally sued ABC, CBS, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Des Moines Register, and his bathroom scale."

Just realized the president implied yesterday that fishermen should stay out of the water because the U.S. may think you have drugs and kill you, and it's just a blip that barely warrants coverage.

Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning The white Christian nationalist provocateur wasn't a promoter of civil discourse. He preached hate, bigotry, and division

I wrote my own Charlie Kirk obituary, and about valuing truth over manners: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

(CNN) - President Donald Trump shelved his plans to target Chicago as the next city for his domestic crime push after advisers warned him that sending in troops .. could create legal headaches they want to avoid, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

Incredible. Trump drags the reputation of a highly regarded economist, first Black woman to be a Fed gov, thru the mud claiming she committed mortgage fraud. But the documents his appointee to run Fannie & Freddie got for him & that he said showed fraud don’t actually say that.

Fox News is just forging ahead tonight as though a card-carrying Democrat gunned down Charlie Kirk. The narrative is impervious to facts.

DO IT, just to watch MAGA heads explode 🤣

Have him shake Putin's hand...you never know

Sorry about that Chris! They're playing better today (and night).

And I deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. The first time a war hero's won it. They wanted to give it to one for hundreds of years. No one's ever seen anything like it. They said sir, you're a strong man but you like peace. We've never seen that.

Is he implying he's Native American?

Or, I didn't get one (Kennedy Center Award). I sat by the phone but it never rang.

He's a legend alright

A Modest Proposal: Send Blue State National Guardsmen to D.C. Make Trump take the mask off.

“We all know what’s coming.

Trump is experimenting with using military force to occupy cities.
He has said—explicitly—that he intends to expand this program from Washington to other cities.
He will attempt to use these tactics to manipulate the 2026 elections.”

Let this be a lesson to dictators everywhere. If you attack one of our allies, *we will give you a bunch of valuable stuff!*

Of course they aren't. Performative bs.

This week the diddler in chief will be traveling to Alaska, which he believes is in Russia, for his annual performance review.

I hope every reporter there asks him about his continued attempts to distract from
the Epstein files.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Correct.
