@hdebusk @StephenMCarter4 @JYSexton Precisely; How else does the GOP, a corporate shell company masquerading as a political party representing the elite 1% Donor Class monied "interests" exclusively, remain viable? Divide & conquer platform fomenting racist fear-mongering & white grievance-pandering @ its core

[Demand Justice @WeDemandJustice]

"Gobbledygook." That's @SenPeterWelch's word for what Judge Traynor did at his confirmation hearing instead of answering a straight question.

Traynor personally signed a letter calling Columbia University an "incubator of bigotry" — a political act, unprompted. But ask him who won the 2020 election? Suddenly that's too political to answer.

This is what a loyalty test looks like. Trump's crony judges won't tell the truth. They have no business with a lifetime seat on the federal bench.

[Jesse Lee @JesseCharlesLee]

Florida voters unequivocally banned gerrymandering for partisan gain in their Constitution, which nobody denies is exactly what was done here, but GOP judges are GOP operatives and therefore “so what.”

[Steven Rattner @SteveRattner]

The inflation story in one chart: gas +40% y/y, energy +24%.

An entirely self-inflicted wound caused by Trump’s War on Iran.

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

White phosphorus is a dangerous chemical that the Israeli military has improperly used across Lebanon, harming civilians.

I introduced an amendment to prevent the sale or transfer of white phosphorus munitions to Israel because it is the moral and strategic thing to do.

[Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal]

Judicial nominees gave us the White House script that deflects & distorts the truth—perpetuating the lie that the Capitol was not attacked on January 6th. Loyalty to the President seems more important than fealty to the facts.

[Phillips P. OBrien @PhillipsPOBrien]

Just sent a short, free piece. The USA seems to have committed war crime deliberately and openly, by destroying civilian access to water as summer approaches. It is strategically idiotic and morally repulsive--and needs to be acknowledged if the US has a chance to recover.

$Billions stolen from the Treasury by the criminal GOP/MAGA/ Trump regime

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Republicans said they wouldn't vote for ICE funding until Trump dropped his $1.8 BILLION slush fund. Then they caved (or didn't mean it in the first place). And now the slush fund is back on track.

Thanks for putting The Fix on the @nytimes bestseller list. It is gratifying to see so much interest in ridding our government of corruption, fear, and hate.

[ProPublica @propublica]

Prosecutors believed they had a strong case and were ready to fight the Justices’ lawyers over the subpoenas, officials said. But before they could move forward, they say the deputy AG’s office intervened.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Palestinian doctor Hussam Abu Safia, director of Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital, has appeared before Israel’s Supreme Court after more than 530 days in detention.

His lawyer says he is held in solitary confinement, denied treatment and suffers injuries and untreated illness.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

If pedophile protector Todd Blanche is confirmed as Attorney General, the amount of outrage is going to be like nothing we have seen before. There are 3 million pages of the Epstein files Blanche is illegally refusing to release due to one reason: Trump raped children for fun.

"Donald Trump and today's Republican Party are a clear and present danger to our Social Security." - Nancy Altman, President of Social Security Works

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA) faked a phone call for roughly 90 seconds after being asked about Speaker Mike Johnson’s comments regarding potential Social Security cuts.

The phone's screen remained visible, with his cheek inadvertently tapping different parts of the display.

[Wajahat Ali @WajahatAli]

Your daily reminder this should be the biggest scandal in American politics right now but nobody seems to care. Ken Paxton freed a man who raped a boy for 3 years.

He also doesnt have to register as a sex offender.

Why is Trump so obsessed with the California primary?

The urgency of Trump’s most recent lies about election fraud in the state reflects a grim reality for the aging, twice-impeached president: California will likely spell the end of Republican control over the U.S. House of Representatives. https://t.co/JAVg2dPb0n

[House Judiciary Dems @HouseJudiciary]

WATCH RM @RepRaskin slam Republicans' shady plan to extend FISA Section 702 with no meaningful reforms.

We cannot allow Kash Patel and Bill “Palantir” Pulte to rummage through Americans’ most sensitive data. Judges, not Pulte and Patel, must be in charge of protecting Americans’ constitutional rights to privacy.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Trump is spreading baseless claims about voter fraud as California tabulates mail-in ballots.

He's been peddling the same old crackpot conspiracies for years. Here's a video I made a while back exposing Trump's "red mirage" lie.

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

Mark this moment.

This is where the endgame begins—though it might take two years to play out.

A President of the United States is openly linking the *Pentagon* and rigging elections for his party.

He is framing an authoritarian takeover as something the *U.S. military* wants.

[Eric Nelson @Eric_Nel]

@DarrigoMelanie Indeed: A Trump DOJ lawyer struggled to explain how it plans to use the unredacted voter data its demanding from states, telling a federal judge in Maryland:

"I'm not going to get into the details."

So far, 8 Trump/DOJ lawsuits have been dismissed.

NEW: A DOJ lawyer struggled to explain how it plans to use the unredacted voter data its demanding from states, telling a federal judge in Maryland: "I'm not going to get into the details."

So far, eight of the department's lawsuits seeking such information have been dismissed. https://t.co/w3VoMdr92b

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Trump wants federal control over state voter rolls so he can purge voters and manipulate the outcomes of elections.

This is what rigging an election actually looks like:
