Forget Scott Jennings.

Senate Leader Thune said the exact same thing.

If McConnell is not alive, awake and well, then the LEADER of the Senate, lied directly to the American people.

we’re to the point where the government can shoot people in the street and don’t have to provide any explanation for why they did it

The Republican Party 4 months before midterms: "You're not getting affordable housing unless you give up your voting rights"

Great message.

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

Reports that the White House has dismissed the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission — all of whom were unanimously confirmed by the Senate, including a commissioner appointed by President Trump himself — should concern every American, regardless of party, because the EAC was established by Congress as an independent, bipartisan body to help states administer secure and credible elections.

If these reports are accurate, removing every remaining commissioner just months before the 2026 midterm elections is an extraordinary step that demands an immediate explanation from the administration and raises profound concerns about political interference in the institutions that support our elections.

Ken Paxton just denied our public information request for the Hoffman Files.

Adam Hoffman — an admitted child molester — should be in prison, but Ken Paxton let him off the hook. Texans deserve to know why. 

We don’t need any more pedophile protectors in our government.

“Trump admin cuts lead to explosive diarrhea outbreak” is literally the type of shit you read on the onion.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Cyclosporiasis, the parasite causing the current explosive diarrhea outbreak, is at a level 20x higher than its yearly average.

This comes just 1 year after the Trump admin removed a cyclospora tracking mandate from the 'Foodborne Disease Active Surveillance Network.'

This Republican scumbag said that if you can’t afford to eat lobster and ribeye steaks like him, it’s because you just don’t work hard enough.

Fyi he works 147 days/year, makes $174,000 and has the best healthcare money can buy all paid by the taxpayer.

Republican Rep. Kean voted against 40 hours of paid medical leave for workers, then took 4 months paid leave himself.

Just got off the phone with my college roommate.

His daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in January.

He has insurance. Good insurance. The kind you feel safe having.

7 months later:
Savings: wiped out. 401k: cashed early. Penalties and all. House: refinanced to cover the gaps insurance decided weren’t their problem.

He told me he’s not the same person anymore.

Said watching your child fight for her life while simultaneously fighting an insurance company over coverage codes does something to you that doesn’t go away.

They did everything right.
Two incomes. No debt. Responsible their whole lives.

One diagnosis undid all of it in 7 months.

And somewhere a health insurance CEO is getting a $30 million bonus this quarter.

I don’t know how people defend this system with a straight face.

I really don’t.

Let's say the PS6 is a digital only console (pretty much guaranteed now) and 20yrs after it's release you wanna get a game for the PS6 but they've shut down the store just like they did for the PS3/Vita. What are you going to do?

You can't go to a gamestop, a pawn shop, a flea market, ebay or whatever. This is planned obsolescence in its' final form. PlayStation now has 100% control over how you buy and play a game.

Your boy wanna sell you a game for cheap? Can't do that, gotta buy full price on PSN. Wanna give your boy a game to check out? too bad, he's gotta buy it for $70 on PSN.

This is terrible for videogame preservation and consumer rights

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

Some of you are mad today about a citizenship ruling.

While I disagree with you on that, we should all realize this case was NOT about citizenship.

Th *real* question before the courts was:

“Can a President by executive order, change how we interpret and apply a constitutional Amendment, despite its SCOTUS precedent?”

No matter how you feel about this specific case, the answer is obviously “no”

The Executive branch does not, and should not have any subjective authority over the constitution.

If you think Trump can use an EO to change birthright citizenship arguing “historical context”…

…Then you must also conclude that Biden could have used an EO to ban any gun that wasn’t a musket.

[Nick Mark MD @nickmmark]

The moral calculus here is simple.

For decades there was bipartisan congressional agreement to fund lifesaving programs. 80% of Americans agree with providing food and medical supplies to the worlds poorest people.

Elon was neither elected nor confirmed. He illegally and gleefully destroyed USAID, which did not save any money - in many cases he just disrupted distribution of supplies already purchased - but he did kill many children.

The closest analogy would be burning down a food bank causing people to die of starvation. It was an illegal act that was wasteful and caused harm. You can’t defend it by saying “what obligation do we have to fund food banks?”

Abbott donated $500,000 to Trump’s inauguration fund, and now a federal investigation into them has been dropped.

Under the Trump administration, you can poison babies for a price.

[Center-Aezzie Patriot 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼🇪🇺🗽 @AezzieUwU]

This is the kind of propaganda spread by the New York Post. They phrase it in the most vague way imaginable to get you to think he is considering this idea, when in reality he was asked about it on an interview and straight up said “No, the constitution looks good the way it is.”

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Hi @NYTimesPR, thanks for responding. Appreciate it. I'm a subscriber and I think some of your reporters do some great reporting.
Just to respond to your response to my post:
1) There were no facts "misstated" by me. You cited three examples in response. Only one of them was about specific *named* GOP House members (and it wasn't from "yesterday", it was from a year ago.) So I stand by my post.
2) As others have pointed out already, none of the 3 articles you cited have the names of any GOP individuals in the titles ("Right-Wing Republicans" "a Kansas Republican" "G.O.P. Fingerprints"), in comparison to your original "Who is Darializa" takedown piece. Where is your "Who is Brandon Gill" or "Who is Keith Self" or "Who Is Randy Fine" or "Who Is Mary Miller" critical profile pieces? How about "Who is Tom Emmer," given the GOP House Majority Whip just a few days ago spewed racist crap about Somalis? And where are the Peter Baker tweets summarizing *their* most controversial claims?
3) This isn't a new criticism. Many have made it against your paper for many years; that you go harder on the left than the right, that you even occasionally whitewash the far right. Remember when you had to do a public response in 2017 to a NYT profile that went super soft on a... Nazi? https://t.co/IF6DhTwcrp. Remember when you guys did a softball piece about a far-right, Islamophobic Trump aide's love for cooking? https://t.co/dp0Sf9PQg9.
Oh, and dare I ask: where are the fawning 'Trump voters' in diners' equivalent pieces for DSA members in NYC bodegas? Isn't it time?
4) Finally, that your response to my post was to proudly say you guys at the Times have "been documenting the increasingly extreme viewpoints on both sides of the political spectrum" kinda makes my point for me. One side's extreme wants universal healthcare and an end to genocide. The other side's extreme says Somalis are "garbage" and wants "remigration", mass deportations and white supremacy.
But, hey, "Both sides!"

Vance all but admits that his admin has Watergate level scandals every other day at this point.
