Wes Moore on redistricting: "You know who started this? It wasn't Gavin Newsom. It was Donald Trump, when Donald Trump first contacted Texas and said 'I need you to find me additional congressional seats.' And they went into a backroom with a sharpie and started redrawing maps."

The Guardian has a rough outline of what the Tulsi whistleblower complaint is about: NSA found someone close to Trump in contact with foreign intelligence, and rather than doing something about that, Tulsi brought the report to Susie Wiles.

When Bad Bunny sings “Aquí mataron gente por sacar la bandera,” it’s a warning & a celebration of survival. In 1948, owning the Puerto Rican flag was illegal. Erasure was intentional. So is today’s history-scrubbing.

I know my take isn’t unique but I said months ago they needed to find very specific rich dipshits the average American would be disgusted by for pushing an anti-oligarch message. Saying “the wealthy” isn’t gonna do it. “The Epstein class” is good politics.
Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.
