Voters in Kansas saw through a blatant political power grab and sent a message — our courts are not for sale.
Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.
DOJ is now 0-20 in cases to obtain state voter files. Here is the list: Arizona California Colorado Connecticut Illinois Kentucky Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island Virginia West Virginia Wisconsin
BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: Five months ago, we learned that ICE seized drawings and letters from children in the Dilley ICE concentration camp. I sued under the Freedom of Information Act. Today, I got responsive documents. www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-e...
Can I beseech everyone to never get used to Trump’s corrupt, criminal, cruel and indecent behavior nor ever imagine that any of this is acceptable from someone occupying our White House?
The New York Times reports the U.S. dropped a 2,000-pound bomb on a family home in Iran, killing a husband, wife, and their 2-year-old son. The paper found no indication of a nearby military target.
Republicans alone slashed Medicare with zero Democratic votes and delayed the damage until after the election. A Democratic Congress will restore the cuts, expand coverage, and cap prescription drug costs for seniors. Vote blue. #RepublicansCutHealthcare
Here is a full list of every state that DOJ had sued and lost for access to their voter file: Arizona California Connecticut Kentucky Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island Virginia West Virginia Wisconsin
"If believing something suits MAGA’s prejudices and interests, they don’t hesitate: they simply insist that it’s true. They routinely dismiss scientific and statistical evidence, but they don’t stop there. They’re perfectly willing to deny reality even if the truth is staring them in the face."
James Downie"What the ongoing show trial of Fauci — which motivated this post — has really driven home, however, is that what Trump and his supporters hate most of all is reality....What we’re seeing now isn’t run-of-the-mill motivated reasoning. It’s something far more extreme." – @pkrugman.bsky.social
@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social: Republicans attacking Anthony Fauci is 'one of the darkest days in our Senate's history’ #LastWord
Thread of updates on an unusually busy day in ICE flights. This Omni ICE flight just landed in Laos. Passengers have been shackled for 25+ hours. There is likely at least one more stop. 1/
Gillian BrockellOvernight this Omni ICE removal trip refueled in Anchorage and is now likely headed to its second refueling stop in Guam. It’ll be another 10 hours at least before it makes its first removal stop. The people onboard have been shackled for at least 14 hours so far.
Hands down, the most traffic of anything I wrote at Salon and possibly anywhere, ever www.salon.com/2026/03/07/m...
36 years after the Americans with Disability Act was signed into law, our fight isn’t over. However long it takes, we’ll keep pushing until all 70 million Americans with disabilities have the dignity, independence and freedom they deserve.
You have much more power than the people in charge of Washington want you to believe. 100 days from today comes the best chance we’ve had in a long time to use it. Let’s get to work.
Ukrainian intelligence confirms what many laypeople on BlueSky had already suspected: Russia is using satellites to help Iran target American bases in the Middle East. And Donald Trump will do *nothing* about this because he cares about Putin far more than he cares about American troops.
Americans are carrying $500 BILLION in medical debt, often while facing the most difficult moments of their lives 💔 Consumer protections once helped ease that burden ~ until CFPB Director #Vought eliminated them. #RepresentativeAyannaPressley advocating for Americans. #SheShed#ViVaHerAlliance
Beyond words from this President’s own vanity. First Lt. Tyler Feehan, Sgt. Angel Rampersad, Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, and Sgt. Michael Swinton deserve to be recognized for their service.
Aric TolerThe Pentagon removed the names of 4 servicemembers who died in Jordan from their official list of Iran war casualties. They explain that this is because "their deaths occurred after President Trump declared a cease-fire in the war in April." Free gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/07/23/u...
I have previously written about one reason that billionaires find the AI story so compelling: at root, many billionaires just don't believe most other people are actually, fully real. How could they? Achieving billionairehood requires that you inflict pain on vast numbers of people. 13/
interesting to me that as the administration treats democratic-voting states like conquered or occupied territories, you don’t have pundits demanding the president respect “half the country”
tony rommNEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...
