The Supreme Court Case That Could Hand the House to Republicans Democrats would be in danger of losing around a dozen majority-minority districts across the South if the court struck down part of the Voting Rights Act.

I was just putting Orin to bed and he said, “I don’t know how to use my life,” so now there’s three of us in the house like this.

"You read books, eh?" A 1949 red scare Herblock cartoon about pressures on teachers that hits hard once again.

Brief pause to acknowledge how wild is it that many are getting to know the new pope by scrutinizing his tweets and retweets.

Today I confronted “border czar” Tom Homan who came to Albany to do Trump’s bidding — push for mass deportations, carry out the assault on working class New Yorkers, and justify the unjustifiable detention of legal permanent resident and father-to-be, Mahmoud Khalil.

I don't want any Democrat to work with any Republican on any Trump agenda item.

We don't negotiate with terrorists.

Donold and the right now want everyone to “shut up about egg prices” after promising THE ENTIRE CAMPAIGN to lower egg prices on day one.

Left: 2015
Right: now

and you’re telling me this guy hasn’t aged a day and nothing is wrong upstairs

Hi, I’m God.

I had nothing to do with saving that guy’s life or making him president.

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.

The Washington Post is broken.

Support independent media.

even in 2025's media landscape, this story is jawdropping: Jim Acosta's morning CNN ratings are often higher than most of even the primetime anchors, but they wanna move him to midnights just to appease Trump (props to @oliverdarcy.bsky.social on yet another big scoop)

Reporter: Who gets credit for this? You or Trump?

Biden: Is that a joke?

NY Governor Kathy Hochul is proposing free associates degrees at public colleges for most adults.

New Yorkers age 25-55 would be able to get an associate degree in multiple fields at SUNY and CUNY schools at no cost.

Books and other fees would also be covered by the state.

Why do we even make amendments to the Constitution if we aren’t going to use them? The 14th Amendment is clear about insurrectionists and was designed to keep neo-Confederate types like Trump out of office.

BUT the MAGA mob doesn’t care so here’s to the upcoming illegal presidency 🥂

The bot trouble has ramped up dramatically in the past 24 hours.

YEAH literally the same ones just followed me 🌝

‼️

MAGA is going to love this:

California is projected to have a budget surplus this year.

Gov. Gavin Newsom plans to boost savings, fund legal battles against Trump, and skip spending cuts—all while keeping programs like free pre-K on track. A solid boost for the resistance.

Absolutely love this list. Well done, Joe.

Which means, if bird flu infects a person who is also infected with a human flu, there's a a possibility that a new hybrid strain will be created, which could be extremely bad.

One thing I really want is to not be the person that happens inside of. If that's how you feel too, get your flu shot!!!

The flu virus fucks...

By which I mean, if two different strains of flu are present in a single animal, they can both infect one cell and when they repackage themselves, the result is a bunch of virus particles with shared elements from each viral genome.
