This is a sitting member of Congress who called for immigrants to be executed by throwing them to their deaths out of helicopters. Mike Collins personally amplified neo-Nazi propaganda online. It's disqualifying for a member of Congress and for a candidate for the U.S. Senate.
Please don't overreact to the SCOTUS SAVE database decision today Page 6 of the decision makes clear that we are in the 90 day statutory window when mass changes cannot be made to voter lists! Yeah it's a shit decision for the reasons the 3 dissenters say but we can deal with it. More to come...

Zelenskyy: “Our long-range responses had a very significant impact in the Moscow region last night. One of Russia’s key oil industry facilities and the aggressor’s logistics facility were hit. These are billions of dollars that sustain their war machine.”
I think part of the pundit crack-up has been that they missed the big call of their lifetimes about which was the bigger threat to America: wokeness or authoritarianism. And rather than admitting that, they are doubling down on wokeness, while ignoring an authoritarianism that does not threaten them
Sam Ulmschneider@samulmschneider.bsky.social · 2mo agoNormally I just appreciatively read @jamellebouie.net 's columns-sharable video content just isn't my bag. But this is a very, very, very trenchant piece of commentary that captures a lot of how I increasingly understand the disjunction between the commentary environment and on-the-ground politics.

U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan just saved the midterms. She ruled that the regime’s 25-state voter-purge machine broke three federal privacy laws, stating the government "knowingly trampled" on the sacred right to vote. Read her monumental ruling: 👇 🔗 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trumps-pla...
i know the White House thinks it's cute that nobody in the administration has real responsibilities beyond fluffing the president on TV, but that disaster of a press briefing by Dr Oz is a reminder that it's actually good to know what you're talking about
Menendez: Delaney Hall was supposed to be a place to hold the worst of the worst. That’s just not the reality of who’s there. We had a pastor who was there for several weeks. We have mothers, fathers. You have pregnant women who are there.
One reason I hate death penalty cases is that capital punishment is incredibly stupid and irrational. It's cruel, expensive, and serves no deterrent effect. It's rarely imposed, except against a tiny minority of unlucky defendants—and in those cases, racism almost always plays a role. Just end it.
Ossoff on his Republican opponents: "They're pro-war, they're pro-tariffs, they're pro-cutting healthcare. Let's find out where they stand on the crooked ballroom and the insurrectionist slush fund."

Consider the opportunity costs of the war in Iran. The missiles might have been sent to Ukraine, to end that war. The money might have bought healthcare for Americans. The attention of Europe and Asia might have been focused on countering Russia and China, not re-opening the Strait of Hormuz
Folks don't always get past the first post in a thread, but I'm reposting this one 'cause everyone should see this lady feeding some eels.
Surprised Eel Historian, PhD@greenleejw.bsky.social · 7mo ago2/2: Crassus's eel was hand-fed & came when he called. And his wasn't the only one. Athanaeus wrote that he had seen eels at Chalcis wearing ear-rings & taking food from visitors (mostly offal & green cheese). Scholars have tended to dismiss this as myth, but... www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp7T...
Vigeland: We talk about how, oh no, they just hate us for our freedom. No, they hate us because we bomb girls schools.

This from the lawyer who successfully argued the tariff case before SCOTUS, casts huge doubt over the applicability of the statute the @POTUS is relying on to slap down a new 15 percent global tariff.
Trump is actively making our goods more expensive by blocking a piece of key infrastructure - apparently all because his most Epstein-linked Cabinet Secretary conveyed a request from a billionaire GOP donor. America does not have to tolerate this kind of corruption.
Angus: It’s like having to negotiate with Al Capone in his syphilitic period. You want to shut down the bridge? Go ahead. Every day, 1,500 nurses from Canada go to help keep Detroit’s health care system going. I personally think those nurses should be working in Canada.
Watters: I was walking in my street, a car drives by and I give him a wave. He rolls down the window and says, “F U fascist.” He doesn’t know I’m a fascist! Jessica: Yes, he does. You’re on TV.
We learned to read bar graphs in elementary school—yet the administration is trying to trick us into thinking that production doubled when it really rose by 1%. Do they really think we’re that stupid?
I think the president should be talking about the huge storm coming this weekend and that the national guard and ICE will be on standby to help impacted communities.
You’d think being the most masked group in America would help.
