For all those rightwingers crying about how “DeMoCrAtS GerRyMaNdEr ToO,” just ask them if they support a nationwide ban on gerrymandering. We do. They don’t. They’re not mad at the concept of gerrymandering, they’re mad that they don’t get to be the only party wielding it anymore.

Whether it’s Democrats saying Latinx or Republicans fantasizing about having alligators eat all 65 million Latino Americans, both sides are struggling to connect with America’s fastest growing group of voters.

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it.
- Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders.
- Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

Senate Democrats should be looking to file amendments to this big ugly bill that should propose massive cuts targeting Elon's companies. There will never be better opportunity to open up this divide among the worst people.

In this Ohio diner, Starship still means "We Built This City." But they do know this: humanity's only hope for survival is to be transported to Mars by a ketamine-addicted fascist with 60 children.

Remember that several people asked Pam Bondi during confirmation SPECIFICALLY what she would do on matters pertaining to Qatar (which she did not disclose) or GEO (pertinent to the Baraka arrest). She said she'd consult top career lawyer at DOJ abt recusal.
Then she fired that lawyer.
Then she fired that lawyer.

could someone check with John Roberts whether accepting a $400 million plane for your personal use is a core executive power that congress may not constitutionally regulate or merely an action for which the president is presumptively immune from any accountability?

Marco Rubio is exactly like Henry Kissinger, if Henry Kissinger was completely ignored by the majority of his colleagues and had zero influence on the major diplomatic issues of the day.

Trump is the worst economic manager in the history of the US presidency. Only rivals are Andrew Jackson (for closing the Bank of the United States) and Herbert Hoover (for not reflating in 1931).

Hooked up an arcade dispenser to give me a ticket every time that god-forsaken word shows up on my computer screen.

We’re fighting antisemitism on college campuses. That’s why we pulled Holocaust history from the library of the Naval Academy but left two copies of Mein Kampf.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.
