NEW 🧵: Here's how Dems could redraw 9 congressional maps by 2028 & target more than 20 GOP seats. The GOP tried to rig the national map in 2026, & Dems had few ways to respond. But Dems could fully counteract them by 2028. We have example maps for each state www.the-downballot.com/p/how-democr...
FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

NEW: This is a ONE POINT race, from Fox News. We are going to take back power for working Texans this November.
Enten: "This is the best looking polling for Texas Democrats in a Senate race since really the 20th century ... Talarico is doing 9 points better than O'Rourke [in 2018] ... this could be very, very real. Democrats have a real shot in Texas."

Media Matters for America@mmfa.bsky.social · 2d agoFox News has spent just 4 minutes covering this story — which is also four minutes more than many podcasts in the right-wing echo chamber.
An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play
Emily Moreno requested a restraining order, citing an implicitly threatening message Miller sent her father. Here's a screenshot of the text, in which Miller seemed to imply he had some dirt of dirt on Moreno. However, Neither Miller nor Moreno answered my questions about what the text meant.

On both sides of the pond you get responses like this to people correctly saying “hey given that liberals can’t win every election forever, we really need a non-extremist right of centre party here” because they can’t see past the ends of their noses.

for any actual public servant, cabinet secretary is the apex of their entire career, you literally cannot go any higher, and all of these people treat it like it’s their side hustle to get the job they *really* want, which is “influencer”
Identify the claim: is it fact, value, policy? Each is judged differently. Identify the evidence: is it from an objective and reliable source? Are the facts confirmed by other sources? Identify the reasoning used to connect the evidence to the claim: is the inference fallacious? Just the basics.
