The judge made clear he believed the law left him with no choice. Combined with a similar ruling involving Proud Boys members last month, it effectively closes the book on the Justice Department’s Jan. 6 criminal investigation. Case docket and court filings here: www.nacdl.org/brief/United...

A disappointing decision. A federal judge reluctantly dismissed the remaining criminal charges against eight Oath Keepers charged with seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6 attack after the Justice Department requested the case be thrown out.

Things You Don't Know Trump's team calls Musk's midterm money a boost. Critics call it a purchase. The president's senior political adviser put it plainly: the PAC was an essential partner in 2024, and its return is a boost for Republicans everywhere.

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

Assholes who make fun of people eulogizing their dogs: There aren't many places for folks to do that, and it's a big moment in some people's lives they weren't exactly ready for. So shut the hell up and let them do it.

Abdul El Sayed talkin bout being outspent 11:1 but lookin like his supporters got a win regardless. It’s a nice twist on “get the money out of politics” to instead be like “we can defeat the money”

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Everyone should vote for DSA in the primaries right now. no more corporate shills from Democratic Party

The problem is, even if there is a process, it relies on people being transparent and the senate enforcing the rules. And that is clearly not going to happen in this regime.

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.

Waking up to Sharia Law in NYC is crazy. Knicks won, crime is down, 2,000 toddlers are going to school for free, parents got “date night” with nyc babysitters, they’re building housing on city land, small businesses are saving money and selling ice cream. Its sunny out i should go get one.

If China announced that their rocket malfunctioned and would crash into the Moon, leaving a... I dunno, 5-foot-wide crater, US conservatives would be demanding that Trump explode it with nukes.

Look, we have to arrest Elon Musk.

Why the fuck are we allowing Apartheid Clyde to bomb the Moon? When will enough be enough?
