It is not "anti drag" to prohibit children from attending an explicitly adult performance. Children should NOT be at most drag shows, and anyone who has been to a drag show knows this.

NEW: Eleventh Circuit, on an 8-5 vote, holds that Florida's anti-drag law is likely constitutional. A majority of the court, however, disagreed with Just Brasher that the court should rule on whether the statewide injunction entered in the case was an improper "universal injunction." Law Dork:

This would have been a month-long scandal on Fox News if Obama or Biden had done this. They are burying the death count because they want people to forget that war actually has a cost. www.huffpost.com/entry/iran-w...

House of the Dragon writing is such a mess. Why can't we get shows written intelligently?

We don’t need to re-engineer the National anthem, we can just do it normal

What 'moderation' really means is adopting the views of a very small group of loud, centrist writers and their big business backers, and is increasingly out of step with (a) the big problems in the US and (b) the polling on what Americans say are the biggest problems they want government to fix.

like 1/3 of the country can't breathe and we've had a parasite outbreak, we're in a perma-war with Iran, but resenting what other people get and policing kids sports teams seems like a top strategy to deal with that

Here come corporate media lecturing people to not criticize Lindsey Graham

Release the Files!

CNN and CBS absolutely already have a week of programming ready to go lecturing people

When Mitch McConnell dies (if he's not already gone) they're gonna try to shame us into being nice about him. We don't need to play along.

Do you think CNBC or traditional media would have let this slide if Joe Biden gave the same answer about Hunter?

Trump: "Almost anything my kids do -- if they buy a truck -- they have inside information"

Yes, Congress should be able to do these things. A court this contemptuous of Congress deserves to be packed by Congress, not only to correct these disastrous precedents but also because Congress needs to show both Article II and Article III who’s boss.

Corporate news media would have whipped up Tea Party 2.0 for this alone if the shoe was on the other foot, btw

Lol the corruption man. Conservatives need a pet judge to win cases.

If Popehat is permanently banned because of this post, I’m genuinely concerned about the viability of this platform. Hopefully, someone like @masnick.com knows more about what’s happening and whether this is just a temporary suspension

Charles Johnson@charles.littlegreenfootballs.com · last mo.

Banning Popehat was a profoundly stupid move by Bluesky. Moderation is a very difficult job at this kind of scale, and I tend to grant lots of leeway for that reason. But this move was simply indefensible.

The upshot here is that a prisoner cannot sue a corrections officer who violated his religious liberty under a federal statute that guarantees free exercise behind bars. But the implications sweep way beyond this case to seriously neuter other spending clause legislation. A REALLY bad decision.

If your read the news you'd think poor Trump is under attack by the vicious and biased Reflecting Pool.

I’m sorry, if the position of Republicans is that FISA isn’t important enough to pass unless they also get tons of priorities they can’t otherwise enact, and that DNI is fine in the hands of an unqualified crony, then both should be allowed to die and the consequences are on them.

Israel and AIPAC put in immense effort to elect Donald Trump and they've just been burned catastrophically.

I’m not sure people realize how huge this problem is. During Trump 1.0, ~5,000 kids were separated from parents at the border. During Trump 2.0, the Brookings Institution estimates *145,000* US citizen kids have been separated, mostly in the country's interior www.brookings.edu/articles/how... 5/x

The UFC is doing a very clever thing: they have given each fighter an honor guard that includes a medal of honor recipient, which means every service member must salute as the fighter walks past

Trump has completely surrendered to the Iranian government. So why does it feel like Joe Biden is the one waving the white flag?

Observation from life, having been around longer than this guy (and married to same wonderful woman since age 21): I have yet to meet a man who goes out of his way to bait others as "barely straight," who doesn't have issues of this sort himself Have never met a "real man" who bothers with this BS

REP. BRANDON GILL: This is a much more effeminate version of Beto O'Rourke ... this is somebody who is really obsessed with children ... I think of James Talarico as a barely straight version of Pete Buttigieg KAYLEIGH McENANY: We know Talarico has a longtime girlfriend and she's very beautiful

"No more free lunch."

ABBY PHILLIP: “What about the law, Scott?” SCOTT JENNINGS: “What about it? Who cares?” 🤔 Refreshing honesty from the smuggest man in the world. The law does not matter to them.

The Ohio Organizing Collaborative is, for lack of a better phrase, a completely normal NGO. For the FBI to raid them - and people who are just associated with them - is a serious attack on ordinary civil society and almost certainly an effort to influence Ohio’s midterm elections.

Kevin Elliott@kjephd.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Elements of the worst case scenario for autocratic consolidation in the United States can now be readily identified in our daily news feed. Ho-hum, just another day of...*checks notes*...federal agents pursuing an organized, coordinated program of election subversion & civil society intimidation.

Imagine the media reaction if an event on Flag Day or any other day of significance, was instead prioritized as "for Joe Biden's birthday." They would not allow it.

😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media. A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Lets make this viral again 👇

The Democrat aligned half of the country is totally unprepared for the online AI bot army that is going to help Republicans win the midterms and every other election going forward. The left will once again unilaterally disarm because they're too moral and holy to use AI. And then they'll lose.
