A federal appeals court ruled that Mississippi had to redraw its legislative maps. As a result, 14 districts affected by the new boundaries are hosting special elections this November. Democrats may flip several.

Liar.

Just for the record, he's never had a "semi-annual physical" while an occupant of the Oval Office before.

Her reputation was accepting a $25k bribe from the orange menace to not pursue him when she was AG in Florida or pursuing Epstein when she could have. Anyone who's paid any attention to her over her career knows that her reputation is a bad one.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

My favorite part: "DHS' perception of events are simply unreliable." I'm adding this to the other judge who said "untethered to the facts". I have a feeling we're going to be seeing a lot of these types of phrases.

It is hard to keep track of all of it but honestly do we really need to? Everything is either about a bunch of lies, corruption, criminality, pedophilia cover, and doing the most damage they can to the most people which this regime is known for. It's not going to stop anytime soon. It's predictable

The whiskey rebellion? During Washington's time? I mean a bunch of people in blow-up costumes hardy qualifies as a rebellion.

I felt long and hard about this and would have to say I got nothing.

Deb ❌👑 @debkat.bsky.social · 12h

Would that be in 2 weeks or nah? Saying shit like this this late in the game is purely delusional and a lie.

Deb ❌👑 @debkat.bsky.social · 12h

That was my first thought when I heard that. In a normal world, they would already have all the evidence they need well in hand. But this is what happens when you have a bunch of incompetents.

I'm sick and tired of hearing about Republican congressional leaders "quietly warning". Let's stop calling them leaders okay? If they can't speak out publicly they're nothing but cowards.

People ask what they can do in this moment: here's a crucially important election. There are 52,000 elections taking place next month, many of which will be determined by turnout.

Dispatch from Pennsylvania on a highly unusual state Supreme Court election—one of the few most consequential matters on the ballot anywhere in the country next month. New from me in @boltsmag.org: boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...

Inside the Clunky Elections to Control Pennsylvania's Supreme Court - Bolts

The GOP is making an expensive push to end Democrats’ majority on a court at the center of election lawsuits, sparking a fledging campaign season with little precedent or template.

President Donald Trump's threatened crackdown on the finances and activities of liberal non-profits and groups opposed to his agenda is a multi-agency effort with top White House aide Stephen Miller playing a central role, according to officials.

Miller is what happens when people don't pay attention to the danger ahead and either are too purposely uninformed to see it and vote for the danger or can't bring themselves to vote for the better alternative. You end up with someone running the country NO ONE VOTED FOR.
