Having global communications run by a petulant billionaire is the jumping off point for a James Bond film and also our reality.

This is an incredible political document -- hard to think of anyone currently serving in the Senate who could tell a story like this. https://t.co/hfPqKZPRPN

Arizona Department of Corrections Director David Shinn just told the state legislature we can't shut down private prisons because too many communities rely on the cheap labor they provide and they would "collapse" without it https://t.co/p6VNS3mIVc

Democrats need to put a clean bill that codifies Griswold's right to contraception on the floor NOW.

If it passes, we'll head off what's coming. And if it fails, people will see what the plan is.

Morning Consult poll:

63% of Americans believe DOJ should bring legal action against elected officials who misled Americans about the outcome of an election

67% believe DOJ should bring legal action against elected officials who attempted to overturn the results of an election

the truly stupid thing about great replacement is that minorities can and will become republican voters, all republicans have to do is not be as racist, and like not even not racist at all just a tad bit less so

[El Norte Recuerda @Vanessid]

Hi, the Supreme Court just did some even worse shit. Two laws, previously indefensible, just passed: Patel v. Garland makes it so immigrants have NO appeal process in circuit courts to seek legal status, and FEC v. Ted Cruz, which makes all campaign finance private and legal.

In light of the #SupremeCourtleak on #RoeVWade, I’ve just put the entire abortion chapter from my new book online for free. Read and share as widely as you like. #prochoice

"They know how journalism works! They're just against it!"

This whole post by @pareene is on target. I have run out of new ways to make these points, but his way works just fine. https://t.co/Y3IWRR4NUQ

It’s interesting how much more alarmed certain people were by the possibility of this slippery slope outcome than it actually happening.

A grim but necessary and urgent reminder of how fragile civil society is in the face of unchecked hatred

@Moms4Liberty Florida: You're not allowed to discuss sexuality or gender in school

Teachers: Okay, we will diligently avoid reference to sexuality and gender

Florida: Not like that
