Miller is like a walking K-Tel record titled "Golden Classics of Domestic Violence." Track 1: "She's Crazy!" Track 2: "Those Lying Bitches" Track 3: "Parental Alienation Blues" Track 4: "Where's My Due Process?" Track 5: "Actually, She Abused Me" Track 6: "It Takes Two to Tango"

MAX MILLER: She's 2.5 years old. She doesn't have the ability to articulate what you just said. TAPPER: But you just told me that she said she was scared to go to mommy's house. Now you're saying she's not capable of saying "Daddy kill you"? MILLER: What about due process?

Depicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.

NEW: Maryland Democrats just passed a constitutional amendment that would let them redraw the congressional map for 2028 in response to Republican gerrymanders elsewhere. If voters pass it in November, Democrats could enact a map like this earlier proposal to target the lone Republican, Andy Harris

Stephen Wolf

Maryland Democrats have unveiled their constitutional amendment that would let them redraw the congressional map for 2028 if voters approve it in November. It would insulate congressional maps from legal challenges and specify that existing restrictions on maps only apply to state Senate/House maps

no agreement with trump is binding, it's impossible that anyone at this point fails to understand that. All that's happening here is spineless toadies folding as anticipated bsky.app/profile/matt...

If for no other reason than that it tracks the Generic Congressional Vote back to July 1997, bookmark this CNN poll release. Also: polling on what kind of party change Dems want to see: younger candidates, new leadership; taking on Trump; and a party both more lefty *and* more centrist than today.

Many of us in public K12 education are heading back into our buildings next week, and to you all: I wish you strength, stamina, and, of course, what I consider the wellspring of this work, joy. I cannot think of another time in my (long) career that our work has been more important. Let's go.

“More than 50 detainees have died during President Trump’s second term, at an average rate of one death every six days.” “Deaths in detention deserve the same scrutiny as high-profile, public killings by immigration agents.”

Gabe Ortíz

“The administration’s response to the rising number of detainee deaths is to change the way it reports them.” Truly trying to erase reality everywhere. thehill.com/opinion/immi...

you dont have to be partisan to note in your headline that a trump claim is probably a lie. this is a man who said obama was born in kenya, that climate change was a hoax, and that he won the popular vote in 2016 and won the election in 2020. all of those claims and hundreds of others were lies.

Hassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."
