Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. 

Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around.

I hope Harvard’s administration heeds the strong case @ryanenos.bsky.social and @stevelevitsky.bsky.social make in this piece.

To give in to the demands of an authoritarian government would risk the university’s credibility and make it complicit in the erosion of American democracy.

Ladies and gentlemen, what THE BIG UGLY BILL will bring you... demand NO on the Budget Bill.

Nurses know: 

Staff shortages, longer wait times, delayed diagnoses and treatments, complete closures of hospitals—

The GOP’s “Big Beautiful Bill” won't just hurt the 11 million Americans who will lose their healthcare due to Medicaid and ACA changes.

University presidents take note

Fortune 500 CEOs take note

DC law firm partners take note

Civil society leaders take note

Congress take note

Etc.
The thing that's been so aggravating about Trump -- has been visible, in fact, since a year into his first term -- is that he's a paper tiger. Appease him and he'll try to take everything from you. Punch him in the face, and he folds, because he fundamentally only respects strength
Not gonna pretend like I know anything about Carney’s politics because I don’t, but I watched his speech yesterday and he essentially told Trump to fuck off and now Trump’s speaking about him with a modicum of respect.

I feel like there’s a lesson in there somewhere.

Trump/Musk are closing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Why? it's one of the agencies investigating Musk's companies for fraud. This is what a CORRUPT OLIGARCHY looks like. My article explains all 30 plus investigations into Musk by federal Govt deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/did-trump-...
Did Trump end the federal investigations into Musk? I made FOIA requests to find out

These two developments show the extraordinary steps Republicans are taking to rig the political system in their bid to preserve state power. With all the focus on a constitutional crisis in Donald Trump’s Washington, it’s easy to overlook how a similar dynamic is playing out at the state level.
Republicans and Elon Musk are also causing a constitutional crisis in the states
The GOP is going to unprecedented lengths to seize power over state courts in North Carolina and Wisconsin.

Journalists miss the real story of Trump because of the way it covers him, press critic Dan Froomkin writes. He cites me on a better way:

Trump coverage needs to change and here’s how | Press Watch
Trump is a con artist and ordinary people are going to get hurt. That’s the all-encompassing story of the next four years.

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who knows that Democrats always grow the economy, and Republicans always fuck it up while only focusing on making the rich richer.

We have to break this idiotic cycle.
