Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule👇 Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it. I'm as confident in our arguments here as in any of our cases!
The judge ordered briefing on whether the dismissal should be w/ prejudice, meaning the case could never come back You dismiss w/ prejudice when there's a risk of repeated harassment & bad faith Look at Trump's social media & tell me that risk isn't real More on @ms.now👇 -TN
Even though David Hearn has been exonerated, his legal team says they're still seeking access to full grand jury transcripts, including instructions given to jurors leading to indictment. They think this could reveal that prosecutors misled the grand jury: newrepublic.com/article/2141...
Yet, he voted for the guy. Total coward. "Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) seemed not fully sure about how the new U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche might approach November’s midterms." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Sen. Cassidy’s ‘existential anxiety’ about whether Blanche will uphold the constitution on elections
Decisions about confirming Blanche for attorney general and whether he'll abide by the Constitution are "not black-or-white," said Cassidy.

Abdul is solidly to my left, but there is not a single policy in his agenda that is “socialist,” much less “communist.” I get buzz words are fun, but these are actual ideologies that actually mean things. Abdul is objectively neither.

If Trump didn’t attack Iran, they’d have had a nuke 5 years ago. Amazing job Mr President

Pubs *still* trying to pretend to be the pro-police party while also trying to make the Jan 6 cop beaters millionaires
Boom. Vulnerable House GOPer says he's going to try to kill Trump's slush fund via a legislative option. This confirms what I argue below, that this is an impossible thing for vulnerable Rs to defend.
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 4mo agoNow that we know Trump's "settlement" with IRS will nix audits, potentially saving him millions, Jamie Raskin's push to force Repubicans to vote on this whole fiasco looks more urgent. Make Rs defend this with Trump 31 points underwater on the economy: newrepublic.com/article/2106...
Senator Barasso’s (R) office just told me they are there to hear “actual” constituent concerns just before hanging up on me when I just called and asked where he stands on the $1,776,000,000 fund to payout 1/6 cop beaters Fucking shameful

Crazy that a sitting Senator would come out and just admit they are guilty of multiple felonies like this
We did! We passed a bill to fund the Secret Service and TSA and FEMA 100-0. If Speaker Johnson would just call it for a vote, it would pass. That’s the problem.
JD Vance in 2020: “My growing view is that too many American Catholics have failed to show proper deference to the papacy, treating the pope as a political figure to be criticized or praised according to their whims.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
The Catholics in Trump's Inner Circle Have Nowhere to Hide
Donald Trump's attacks on Pope Leo XIV are making J.D. Vance and Catholics choose between their religion and their fealty to the president.

This has been a very hard week, I imagine, for the survivors of Swalwell's rape and abuse. Understatement. They are heroes for coming forward given how the power structure discourages it. Yes, even among Democrats. Who knows how many more ppl would have been harmed if he had become governor. 1/
Vance has never “opposed” the war an Iran! He has publicly supported it from the beginning and every step along the way. The idea that he privately opposed it and that should be considered his official position is absolute garbage.
J.D. Vance is like if Ted Cruz were into international politics instead of Texas sports team.
Donald Trump is deranged. He must be impeached and removed from office. Republicans who don’t stop him will have blood on their hands, and anyone who carries out an order to bomb civilian targets will be complicit in war crimes and will be held accountable.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5mo agoTrump: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will … We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end”
