BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.

2026 could be at risk for setting a new record- most expensive national average price of gasoline on Labor Day. currently Labor Day 2012 is the record holder: $3.83/gal. we're at $4.06/gal today- if a deal to reopen the Strait doesn't materialize, we could break that.

The only thing that intrudes on Trump's fake alternate reality is high gas prices so any resolution that lowers gas prices let's trump, reporters and voters slip back into the simulacrum and resolve the uncomfortable dissonance

I can’t believe Iran saying they think they’ve got Oman on board with their plan to thwart US war aims is being treated as successful peace talks or an American accomplishment, even a little. That is crazy-making to me.

NEW: Voters have rejected Republicans' scheme to unseat the Kansas Supreme Court's Dem-appointed majority and overturn abortion rights. Amendment 1 would have let the GOP replace the system of a nominating commission, gubernatorial appointment, and retention elections with direct partisan elections

it's fascinating watch them throw everything out at miller all at once since the deadline for him to withdraw from the race is like tomorrow, instead of parcelling it out in increasingly-damaging leaks instead

Sen. Bernie Moreno said Rep. Max Miller refused to return his granddaughter’s favorite blue bunny. Reports also show that photos of a syringe and 150mg weed gummies were found in Miller’s bedroom.

NEW: Maryland Democrats just passed a constitutional amendment that would let them redraw the congressional map for 2028 in response to Republican gerrymanders elsewhere. If voters pass it in November, Democrats could enact a map like this earlier proposal to target the lone Republican, Andy Harris

Graphic of a proposed 8-0 Democratic Maryland congressional map passed by state House Democrats as House Bill 488.

The districts are colored various shades of blue depending on the size of Kamala Harris' 2024 presidential margin of victory, with darker colors representing bigger margins. An accompanying chart includes the presidential results and each district's racial demographics for the adult population.

All seven Democratic incumbents would be in districts that Harris won by at least 10.7 points, with 3rd District Democratic Rep. Sarah Elfreth likely running in the revised 1st District currently held by Republican Rep. Andy Harris. The potentially open 3rd District favored Harris by 8.6 points. The 4th and 7th districts would remain majority-Black while the open 5th District would shift from plurality-white to plurality-Black.

Maryland Democrats have unveiled their constitutional amendment that would let them redraw the congressional map for 2028 if voters approve it in November. It would insulate congressional maps from legal challenges and specify that existing restrictions on maps only apply to state Senate/House maps

"Get away from me right now," King, a retired U.S. Army captain who served in Iraq and earned both a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star, can be heard telling the three male guard members in the video as they approach her on the bench. "You have absolutely no authority to detain me."

A veteran was detained by the National Guard in her front yard. Now she's suing

Military veteran and D.C. resident Anna King has filed a $3 million lawsuit against the Idaho National Guard, saying three guard members assaulted her while detaining her in front of her home.

I also don't totally understand what it's trying to prove. Like ok maybe the best men in the world are better than the best women due to inherent physiological advantages. So what? Do you go to a track meet and go "why is anyone watching this? a horse could easily outrun all these guys"

it's interesting how many men get satisfaction out of knowing that other men can beat elite female athletes. like ok, maybe the best high school boys team in the country can beat a WNBA team, but YOU can't

Imagining generals across the services taking missiles and weapons systems and reclassifying them as humanitarian aid so Hegseth doesn't waste them all on Iran
