This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Several pro-voting groups asked a court Monday to block Utah Republican’s audacious new GOP law designed to make it harder to strike down the state’s new gerrymander, arguing it violates the state constitution. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Sen. Adam Schiff: "The DOJ has become President Trump's personal sword and shield to go after his ever-growing list of political enemies and to protect himself, his allies, and his associates."

Sure.

This is the glass cliff to end all glass cliffs. You're Marissa Mayer at Yahoo without the Googler street cred. You're Nancy Dubuc at Vice without the string of hit TV shows. You're Linda Yaccarino at Twitter without the advertiser relationships. You have been hired as a sop to a Trump administration that is actively hostile to the actual free press, and you will be made to oversee wave after wave of layoffs until you quit or get fired and the entire news division is shut down in a final spasm of cost-cutting after the next inescapable media merger.

I know a glass cliff when I see one

DURBIN: Why did you publicly claim to have the Epstein client list waiting for your review and then produce nothing relevant to that claim?

Didn't think I'd end up in situations like this when I started helping street dogs. A drug dispute and one of my fav dogs shot 5 times.

Luckily some silver linings

Today he leaves us but he sent him on his way with all he needs for his new life. A very special boy indeed

Every Congressional Dem should escort her onto the floor, demand she be recognized and sworn in, and force Johnson to get security to remove them. And then do the same thing tomorrow. And the next day. The days of triangulating rules are over.

🚨 Rep. Jim McGovern attempted to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Rep Elect AZ-07, but they would NOT recognize him in the House. He has a candid reason as to why he thinks this happened. 1/2

He could’ve fought, but he faked bone spurs. So someone else had to go in his place - most likely a working class kid whose daddy couldn’t afford to bribe a doctor. Now he’s talking shit about how it should’ve been fought.

Prosecutors convening grand jury in Hope Florida investigation In recent weeks, the State Attorney’s Office for the 2nd Judicial Circuit has issued subpoenas for witnesses to appear before a grand jury.

ITS ABOUT TIME
Prosecutors in Tallahassee are convening a grand jury relating to the Hope Florida Foundation, reinvigorating a scandal that has engulfed the charity spearheaded by Casey DeSantis, the governor’s wife.

MAJOR NEWS: Prosecutors in Tallahassee are convening a grand jury relating to the Hope Florida scandal, the Herald/Times has learned. This is the charity started by Casey DeSantis that used FL legal settlement funds to campaign against medial marijuana amendment.

Girl, Florida is coming for Casey DeSantis 😏🤣

What the Florida?

DeSantis has a Grand Jury indictment against him and Casey related to Medicaid funds routed through Casey’s Hope Florida Foundation for laundering money into dark-money PACs backing him.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

I'm sorry, but what's wrong with giving health care to immigrants? Republicans don't even want to give health care to citizens, but I don't understand the argument against keeping people who contribute billions of dollars to the economy healthy. It's also less expensive in the long run.

The Pentagon press gears up for a fight. “None of us are signing this pledge,” said one reporter.

"It’s not the journalists’ burden to keep the government’s secrets for it," @seth-stern.bsky.social told @columjournreview.bsky.social. "That is the opposite of the press’s job, which is to tell the public what the government doesn’t want the public told."

@StephenM on X: Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide). This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself.

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary

This guy is a performative sadist. The fact that he is where he is, is a truly terrible measure of how bad the judgement is of everyone around him.
