This is an important step forward, and I want to thank @libradunn1.bsky.social and @semperwry.bsky.social for their courage in fighting for this. To make sure that a future Congress doesn’t take the plaque down, we’re going to continue our litigation until the plaque has a permanent home.

Holy shit. He did that poorly among Black voters in Texas? Let me say again, Allred hit his numbers with white voters. If this is the best opportunity for Texas Dems, how dare you all. All you had to do was vote for the Black woman. You were gate keeping this seat for a white man. Just gross.

We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

“In October 2025, both her SSI and Medicare benefits were halted, and she was told her immigration status was under review. Although Rakestraw was born in the U.S. and has never once traveled or lived outside the country, federal officials still raised questions about her legal status.”🤬

And now we know.

I actually love cooking and my kids will eat vegetables just fine but sometimes you have to pick your battles and sometimes the battle is laundry! Preprepped food is as old as civilisation; the workload was always meant to be shared

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.

Rocky Myers, a Black man from Decatur, Alabama, is still locked up for a crime he didn’t commit. His lawyer, former corporate counsel for the United Klans of America, told me if he had to do it all over again, he’d seat an all-white jury this time. Please take a moment with this story.

Update: Sarah Afzul, the woman's sister, told me that Naqvi has been released from a detention facility in Wisconsin, where she was transferred overnight and they've been reunited with her

I wish I was eating this crepe right now

Once a scorpion, always a scorpion, Donnie, you dim little pseudo-frog.

No one should trust the US at this point. Our government and armed forces are led by chaotic evil murder-hobos who will honor no deals or norms.

There's no return to normal because everyone the world over understands this can happen at any point in the future now, always one election away.

Every single time a new outlet feels compelled to interview an unremarkable billionaire they should pause and ask themselves if there isn't an under-represented artist, scientist, activist, engineer, or academic actually doing useful/interesting things that's more deserving of your readership's time

I’m seeing a ton of this floating around.

It’s true, we’re bombing the hell out of Iran, but this war isn’t as one sided as they’d have you believe. In a week, the US has lost at least two (possibly more) AN/TPY-2 radar.

We have less than 15 of them and they take years to make.

i am not generally a "go through the hoops to write a comment I don't think will really be read" kind of guy, but for a plan THIS bad, by a guy I hate THIS much... I'll make the exception

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

Fun thing to think about very briefly: who currently has better lawyers, the United States or Nintendo

♥️👍🏿

It’s okay i hate them both

These are the states where we are fighting DOJ's voter file lawsuits: AZ, CA, CT, CO, DC, DE, GA, HI, IL, KY, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, PA, OK, OR, RI, UT, VA, VT, WA, WI, WV

brianmcginnisnc Brian McGinnis' wife has NOT been allowed to see him in the hospital. He is currently awaiting surgery for severe injuries. Legal counsel has also been denied access. A Marine veteran. A firefighter. A father of four. And his family still cannot see him.

so apparently Brian McGinnis has been denied access to both his family and legal representation since a sitting senator broke his arm

Gonna be saying “the colonel’s favorite jellybeans” a whole lot

U.S. CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION UNABLE TO COMPLY WITH COURT ORDER DIRECTING TARIFF REFUNDS -COURT FILING

Something that becomes very clear when you revisit the early days of the Wakefield-era antivax movement is just how much of that movement was and is based around confusing and terrifying essentially well-meaning parents

Which isn’t to excuse anyone or anything, it’s just the truth

The drive-by shooters eventually get caught and sent to prison.

So mote it be.

And just like that we’re back to “Department of Defense”

They did that long ago when they made the USPS the ONLY government agency that had to pre-fund benefits for 75 years back in the early 2000s. I've never forgotten about that, and I think they only recently repealed that crap.
