You want to know one of the things that very few people are talking about in our scam economy? It's the fact that one of the types of scams uniquely targets Americans, because only Americans have bank account numbers that we can't reveal because people could then clean out your account.

At the Federalist Society annual lawyers convention, they were handing out coins celebrating SCOTUS decisions like WV v. BPJ (the anti-trans decision) and Louisiana v. Callais (the anti-voting decision) Alito gave an interview and said overturning Roe "showed a lot of courage"

Where is the Dem taking the lead on the FAA debacle? (This is a real question. Who's been talking up and knows what they're saying and, ideally, is going to have a gavel in January?)

I have not heard Schumer say ONCE "End the war on Iran NOW" - That alone is disqualifying. He needs to step down NOW.

This was the first election since 1964 without federal protections against race discrimination in voting but, uh, okay

Schumer changing the rules to try to keep power is not only ugly, it makes a stark contrast with his lack of hardball against Republicans.

Ezra Levin ❌👑@ezralevin.bsky.social · 20h ago

Wow. Schumer team is so spooked at momentum building that they’re looking at changing the Dem rules to move the date of the leader election up from December to as soon as next week. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

I think folks are underestimating the degree to which Marco Rubio is going to try to take credit for bringing down Jensen Huang and holding the AI industry accountable as part of his hard-charging battle against China, facts be damned.

To be absolutely clear: This was another Y2K situation. Lots and lots of people worked diligently for months and years, at great cost, taking hours away from their friends & family, to make our elections a bit more free and fair. Voting was still threatened! It still took record-breaking turnout!

This is so wrong The reason “Trump didn’t steal the elections” is because we & the pro-voter coalition stopped him EIGHT times over the past 21 months Here’s how: a thread (1/x)

"Even better, Reeves and Winter are expected to reprise their roles by providing the voices of their iconic characters." This is a bummer. It's cool to see a game come out but a shame they're advertising us as being involved, which we're not, at all. We have zero participation or oversight on this.

This is one of those '2 things are true' moments, I think Republicans hoped their aggressive gerrymandering would deeply entrench white minority rule Instead it extra motivated voters and they got their asses kicked But the gerrymandering lessened their losses, and increased the burden on voters

"If every congressional map had been drawn fairly, with party-blind nonpartisan methods, Democrats might have come close to winning a veto-proof two-thirds majority in the House, with the party winning nearly 20 additional districts in Texas, Florida and Georgia alone."

I hope folks can hold two things at once. There was a historic win in Mississippi AND efforts to disenfranchise voters were intense and disgusting. Not a story of democracy working; a story of folks working way harder than they should have had to to squeak by under circumstances that should not be.

We had two agencies—the United States Digital Services and 18F—whose jobs were to rollout new tech products in the government and test them safely (18F was responsibility for security training), and DOGE fired everyone of these people. EVERY ONE. Taps the sign: Admnistering Infrostructure.

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 19h ago

The basic and fundamental lesson of the Healthcare.gov failure is that you don't do a big rollout of a new tech product all at once if you can avoid it. Test, find weak points, iterate and improve.

bouie mentions in passing a benefit of abolishing the filibuster that i think is genuinely quite important: instead of mega-omni-gigabus bills that do everything, targeted and specific bills are things you can actually *explain to people* and tell a coherent story about
