One way you can tell trans women are really women is that Stephen A Smith treats them like shit
Great to see Hector tonight. Nothing but respect for my woke king 👑
In a country with a president who is such a destructive sore loser, politicians who are both helpful and gracious in defeat is a greatly appreciated novelty.
Totally predictable. @chrislhayes.bsky.social just had a good episode on this.

Trump has been “using clemency and pardons to get corporate healthcare fraudsters off the hook.” "An analysis by the California governor’s office found that Trump’s pardons had wiped nearly $2B in victim repayment and taxpayer recovery for Medicare and tax fraud, as well as other types of fraud.”
Gabe Ortíz@tusk81.bsky.social · 3h agoThe OIG report “highlights the obvious: Corporations — not small immigrant-oriented healthcare providers, or undocumented immigrants illegally taking benefits — are responsible for the vast majority of alleged fraud in the American health care system.”

Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.

As I said yesterday: the vast majority of voters have no need to play pundit, back candidates you like and who you think will do the best job. Stop doing consultant cosplay, cause even they mostly suck at their jobs.
There may well be active duty troops in the Middle East right now who have family members locked in ICE jails. Congress authorized Military Parole-in-Place specifically to avoid this situation. But the Trump admin has shown little care to families caught in this situation.

This is genuinely great. I like McMorrow a lot more than I liked her campaign team. Time to come together and win the general. Stevens also made some good gestures in the last 24 hours; here’s hoping she carries through.

The entire Republican Party, and a chunk of the Democratic Party, have a direct interest in convincing you that conservative wins are a mandate and anything else is not.
This plane landed in Myanmar about three hours ago. This is the third ICE flight to Myanmar this year. Burmese deportees in 2025 were immediately sent to a torture facility next to the airport, according to Myanmar Now. Weeks later, not all of them had emerged.

Michigan: This is the way. Senate control runs through MI. We cannot afford to lose this seat. All the energy that went into the primary- & into offering #takes on the primary (including this AM)- has to go to the election in November. A MI senate seat is the difference between an R vs D Senate.

Big tax results out of Missouri tonight: Voters statewide rejected by an huge margin a GOP ballot measure to phase out the income tax. They also renewed a sales tax to keep state parks free. And Kansas City approved a package of $1.7 billion of bonds for infrastracture.

Whether someone realizes it or not, accepting the "liberal bubble" framing at all is a way of granting the utterly absurd notion that the globally reviled and increasingly unpopular views of the reactionary right are the norm

honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayRep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."
Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
I’m headed to the Senate Floor to ask my colleagues if we can all agree on this one, simple truth: climate change-driven extreme weather events are increasing at the same time that the government is dismantling weather monitoring and alert systems.
I think 21st century military readiness is more about sufficient stockpiles of missiles and air defense interceptors than how white, masculine, straight, clean-shaven, buff, and disdainful of law personnel is, so the US should prioritize the former. Sorry to get so partisan, but that's how I feel.

Kyle Clark@kylec.bsky.social · yesterdayDepicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope.

This apparently happened underneath (and maybe because of of) a sign she had hung on her house that said: "National Guard Stop Being So Embarrassing."

In a college sociology class in the late 1980s I was assigned a Marxist analysis of education that argued that the US education system is designed primarily to produce efficient workers for the labor market. And now Trump’s Department of Education is just tweeting it out.
