I know we sort of live in a time in which personal morality is irrelevant in politics, but it’s worth noting that there are very credible allegations that at least two cabinet secretaries are presently engaged in affairs with coworkers; one with her right-hand man and the other with her bodyguard.

The White House sent Trump to Georgia for damage control on the economy and health care ... instead he focused yet again on 2020 election denial.

None of this bodes well for the GOP!

This really is a great picture:

This is the perfect example of a product whose main purpose is stalking.

Judge scolds Mark Zuckerberg's team for wearing Meta glasses to social media trial A Los Angeles judge ordered Meta officials to remove their AI glasses at a trial over the impact of social media on users.

"The judge upbraided the Meta team and said if you guys have recorded anything, you have to dispose of it or I will hold you in contempt," Jacob Ward, a technology journalist and the host of the Rip Current Podcast, told CBS News, calling the incident "an extraordinary misstep" by Meta.

The absolute arrogance.

New Mexico Republicans couldn’t even scrape together 2300 signatures in a state with hundreds of thousands of registered Republican voters. ☠️😭

Over in the “Bad Place”, MAGA is harassing Senator John Thune in an effort to pressure him to either nuke the filibuster or force Democrats into a talking filibuster of the GOP’s “Save America Act” (which would federalize voter purges) so they can get it passed. It’s reaching a fevered pitch. 1/

Labor Secretary’s Husband Barred From the Department After Sexual Assault Reports

The husband of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-Deremer — who herself is under investigation for an affair she had with a subordinate, and also instituted a monthly prayer service at the department — has been banned from HQ after two female employees reported he sexually assaulted them.

“.. Shameful — but in a way useful,” he wrote in a post on X on Thursday. “No one should any longer pretend we have a ‘Department of Justice.’ We have a Department of Trump.”

Georgia lawmakers fight GOP voter suppression efforts with new state voting rights act The Georgia VRA faces an uphill battle in the General Assembly, where Republicans have a commanding control of both the House and Senate.

NEW: Democratic state lawmakers introduced a state-level voting rights act in Georgia, which seeks to protect the voting rights of Georgia’s Black voters whose right to vote has been under attack by the state’s Republican majority in recent years. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Susan Collins hands Trump the 50th vote against free and fair elections When it comes to free and fair elections, Collins is as conservative and anti-voting rights as they come.

Collins always has an excuse to vote against free and fair elections. It is the one issue on which she reliably proves she is in lockstep with the rest of her party. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...

Large banner of Trump unfurled at Justice Department headquarters The DOJ has traditionally operated with a degree of separation from the White House to prevent the department's powers from being abused for political purposes.

“Hanging that banner should put to rest any doubt that Donald Trump has hijacked the independence of the Justice Department. He — not the American people — is the only client DOJ’s current leadership serves." www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Phil Bryant’s Defamation Lawsuit Over Welfare Reporting Could Be Revived, Justices Signal Former Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant’s defamation lawsuit against Mississippi Today over welfare scandal could be revived, several justices suggested.

Former Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant’s defamation lawsuit against Mississippi Today over its welfare scandal coverage could be revived after several Mississippi Supreme Court justices questioned a lower court’s dismissal and suggested a jury should consider the case.

Pro tip: Read this fantastic explainer by @heatherharrison.bsky.social and @ashtonpittman.bsky.social to get up to speed on Phil Bryant’s attempt to keep his defamation lawsuit against Mississippi Today alive. It’s not easily understood via one-liners on social media.

There is a reason that we have two Democratic senators there, and it is because of Donald Trump.

Georgia lost 80,000 jobs last year since Trump took office, 27 family farms have filed for bankruptcy, 500,000 are going to lose their health care coverage without the ACA subsidy extension and the premiums are going to double for 1.4 million Georgians.

It’s nuts hearing Trump say more Americans are working today than in the history of our country when we just saw a million jobs revised down for 2025.

All of this.

Also, as I keep pointing out re the flood of fundraising texts/emails: You can’t have it both ways. If you don’t want Democrats to take money from corporate PACs etc, they have to get it from *somewhere*, and that means US.

Those annoying texts suck but they’re part of it.

The AI surveillance state is real — and it's being built by Palantir. The Most Dangerous Corporation in America?

Palantir Technologies raked in $1.5 BILLION in income last year — including from lucrative taxpayer-funded DHS contracts — and paid ZERO federal income tax.

It's fast becoming the most dangerous and least accountable corporation in America. https://youtu.be/x_VwyhErd88?si=RCrKYNu1bMlNhU0G

Anyone who's still insisting that Trump is not a racist at this point just needs to be scorned and shunned.

Don't bother debating with them, just tell them with as much contempt as you can muster that they're in a fucking cult and they should be embarrassed.

Trump says Republicans will ‘never lose a race’ if Congress restricts voting “We'll never lose a race. For 50 years, we won't lose a race.”
