El-Sayed: "I believe our kids have a right to our tax dollars. I'm about 10 min away from schools that look like they did 50 years ago.

Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."

If America were founded as a Christian nation, the Constitution would say so. Instead, it omits God, prohibits religious tests and bars religious establishment. That silence wasn’t an oversight. It was a choice. firstthings.com/america-has-...

Luigi Mangione is demanding that his murder trial be broadcast live. He also asked the court to provide a live overflow feed inside the courthouse so journalists and members of the public who can’t get a seat can still follow the proceedings.

James Talarico on Texas officially banning THC: “Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst."

Phang: "The fact that it's taking France and England and other foreign countries to be able to launch investigations, and yet our American DOJ is sitting on it doing absolutely nothing, including not cooperating with those foreign nations, is such a big red flag."

MICHIGAN — Dr. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social: “I don’t believe in unconditional foreign military aid to anyone… Jewish Americans are not the same as AIPAC & Israel… my real opponent in this race isn’t Haley Stevens — it’s Chuck Schumer, every corporate PAC, AIPAC…”

BREAKING: A MAGA senator was caught on a male for male website

Remember when tRump mocked people for taking the 5th, saying only the guilty do it? Then he took it 440 times himself. Now the same GOP is melting down because Fauci did it a hundred times. The outrage only kicks in when it’s not their guy. Pure hypocrisy. www.themirror.com/news/gop-sla...

Once more: Mamdani understands that you can't just do things in politics and expect voters will notice on their own and thank you for it. You've got to work just as hard selling yourself to voters once you're in office as you did selling yourself to them to get into office. This is the way.

Spot on. 🎯

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

President Trump just gave a speech about voter fraud. Someone has been committing voter fraud — and his name is Ken Paxton. He was just caught voting from the wrong address 6 elections in a row. If the President wants to investigate voter fraud, he should start with Ken Paxton.

Trump is pursuing this war in the HOPE that Iran carries out an act of terror in the US. And even if it doesn’t, which I doubt it will, consider the possibility that Trump's people would fake one. Please consider this essay, written back in March. snyder.substack.com/p/the-desire...

Phang: "The incestuous relationships that exist in the MAGA moron-sphere is remarkable. I can say Tate brothers, and I don't need six degrees of separation to even get to Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, Don Jr., or Barron Trump. I mean, I could spit and hit all of them and then some."

Katie Phang blasts the Trump administration for its role in getting the Tate brothers travel restriction lifted: "This regime has the most fucked up priorities. It's not taking care of Americans...It's let's make sure that we prioritize getting the Tate brothers getting off a fucking house arrest."

Slotkin: "The president is using an authoritarian playbook I have seen tons of times abroad, where he's sowing misinformation & disinformation about our elections...it culminates in a in him creating a security incident that requires uniformed military or federal law enforcement to go to the polls."

Good lord, #2 is embarrassing. Here’s an actual list of priorities for the left in 2029: 1. Expand the Supreme Court 2. Medicare-for-All 3. Ban MAGA insurrectionists from holding office via the 14th 4. End Citizens United & gerrymandering 5. Affordable housing/anti-monopoly 6. Tax the rich

Klein asks Allen what liberals should prioritize if they win the trifecta in 2028. Allen suggests the following: 1) Putting an end to Citizens United; 2) Creation of national service; 3) Ending gerrymandering

Congress has always had the power to shape the federal court system, and as part of that, the number of SCOTUS justices has expanded and even shrunk before. The idea that the current setup is not only permanent but also somehow vital to our existence is just incredibly stupid.

Adam Gurri@adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com · 3w ago

I just listened to a panel with David French and someone from the Brennan Center vociferously argue against expanding the Court. French said it would lead to “the dissolution of the republic.” About a third of the audience applauded. We need to get a policy culture that’s willing to do what it takes
