"Fox News hosts are professional propagandists. I think they looked at Zacharia as someone who was not capable of covering for Donald Trump when he gets in trouble, someone who wouldn’t be able to lash out at the media for daring to cover him, and they helped her off stage because of that."

Here’s the relevant language in the DOJ lawsuit. It asks for the election not to be certified if Peltola’s margin of victory is smaller than the number of votes cast for the third-party Sullivan. (I expect this to be laughed out of court.) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoBRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?
We all knew who Blanche was— he covered up the Epstein files. Republican Senators confirmed him anyway. The corruption of our Justice Department is on them.
Dorie Miller was only allowed to work in a Navy mess due to segregation, but he leapt to work a gun when the attack happened. In sharp contrast, Donnie Trump got five medical deferments to keep from having to fight in Vietnam. The USS Bone Spurs doesn‘t really sing

Anyone else find it suspicious that the White House is releasing a bunch of “newly discovered” findings concerning the 2020 election weeks after they conducted mass firings of career intelligence officers? 🙋♀️
AOC: I said this a couple of weeks ago: I would not be surprised if, when ICE funding started up again, we would start to see more civilian deaths at the hands of ICE. And that’s exactly what has happened. We didn’t see things like this happening with the same degree when we froze ICE funding.
So, this is something I've been talking a lot about on TV the past few weeks John Solomon, Bill Pulte...the playbook is pretty clear (Bannon actually laid it out). Solomon is working on a WH task force to help identify (manufacture) instances of foreign interference in 2020. Pulte will declassify.

They just keep killing people and lying about it. Everybody involved in this criminal organization needs to be prosecuted.

Masked Patriot Front white nationalists stage July 4 march through DC
About 400 members showed up, the group said. There were no reports of arrests.

Much of MAGA Media has spent the last few months pretending that white supremacist groups are all puppets for “the left,” the “deep state,” the Southern Poverty Law Center, etc. Anything to deflect from the extremism on their own side. Meanwhile, today in Trump’s Washington:
Washingtonian Problems@washprobs.bsky.social · 4mo agoThe white supremacist group, Patriot Front, was seen marching through Capitol Hill this morning.
I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.
Early in Trump's first term, David Frum wrote that every time Trump and MAGA say "the deep state" you should hear "rule of law," then it'll make more sense. That stuck with me. And I thought of it again as an unqualified and unconfirmed director of national intelligence conducts political purges.
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 4mo agoBREAKING on MS NOW: Dozens of intel officials have started receiving notice of their terminations under Trump's unqualified acting DNI, Bill Pulte. The individuals are officials "who they believe are deep state" and whom leadership claims have not provided complete pictures of available intel.
Xitter's community notes are working overtime calling out people trying to claim Mamdani's attempts to conserve power is socialist. This one might be my favorite.

Clarence Thomas's concurring opinion in the trans sports ban case in West Virginia contains some of the ugliest transphobic stuff I have ever seen in a legal opinion. Straight-up gleeful. Vile man. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
![2 WEST VIRGINIA v. B. P. J.
THOMAS, J., concurring
judgment). Because “gender dysphoria” is a mutable men-
tal state that is the object of psychiatric treatment, it does
not resemble the immutable characteristics on the basis of
which our precedents have applied heightened scrutiny—
race, sex, or national origin. Instead, gender dysphoria re-
sembles other characteristics on the basis of which legisla-
tures may classify with a merely rational basis. See, e.g.,
Heller v. Doe, 509 U. S. 312, 321 (1993) (mental illness);
Plyler v. Doe, 457 U. S. 202, 220 (1982) (immigration sta-
tus). Legislatures have many obvious rational bases to
keep men who believe that they are women out of teams
and private spaces reserved for women.
Second, as the Court recognizes, this case concerns “bio-
logical men” and “boys who identify as girls.” Ante, at 10,
27. Men and boys with gender dysphoria are not women or
girls, even if they believe that they are. Sex is an immuta-
ble “biological” characteristic, see ante, at 10; it is binary;
and “man” and “woman,” “boy” and “girl,” are the terms that
correspond to adults and children of each sex. See A. Byrne,
Are Women Adult Human Females? 177 Philosophical
Studies 3783, 3786–3787 (2020). To use language to ob-
scure reality—to show “indifference regarding the truth”—
is to lie to the public and cease to treat our fellow citizens
“as equal[s].” J. Pieper, Abuse of Language—Abuse of
Power 17, 21 (1992).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bpna2qi2e44fafbhhtqjak3x/bafkreibwsxtosqddkiskx5oxonnai4ha7ygixfcqmnbsxb27z3q43jh4iu)
I can’t bring myself to be too celebratory. This should have been a 9-0 slam dunk. My main takeaway is that there are currently 4 votes to undo a longstanding constitutional guarantee that 15 years ago seemed beyond any serious question.
David J. Bier@davidjbier.bsky.social · 4mo agoThis day will be celebrated, but it never should have come to this. President Trump attempted to subvert the clear words of our Constitution and the traditions of our country for hundreds of years by instructing ICE to arrest US-born Americans. It was an attempted crime.
Jesus, three dissenting votes on birthright just might be the most insane part of this court's entire awful term.
All of these cases are basically litmus tests for any Dem nominee. Are immigrants Americans? Do trans Americans deserve human rights? Are corporations superhumans who get to spend endlessly on elections to put whoever they want into power? These are simple questions with simple answers.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4mo agoQ: You mentioned that the Interior Dept has video of photos. We reached out to them & they haven't shared it w/ us TRUMP: They will share it. They've arrested I think 6 people on the reflecting pool. So, the reflecting pool looks fantastic. Somebody went in with a knife and cut it, a 350 foot slit
really want the next call of duty single-player campaign to have a bunch of humiliating and realistic Trump-era missions
