Indiana was recently devastated by floods and thousands are still without power, but at least Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith was able to find the time to go on a podcast to talk about his hatred for Islam: "We should all learn to hate what is evil."

Great afternoon with Senator Warner and Congressman Vindman! Thanks to Fulton Moto for hosting. Thank you Culpeper for taking your Saturday to support your elected officials. As Vindman said today -make the election turnout “too big to rig.” 108 days. Let’s go. 👏

Courts are more likely to hold Meta accountable for their platform designs, which they create, than the content on their platforms, which they do not create. Yes, they moderate, but then they get sued for "censorship".

“Loitering is not permitted in this area. Please proceed to a designated location. Thank you for your cooperation,” a surveillance machine tells a small cluster of National Guard members as they patrol the fenced off Reflecting Pool in the rain.

This is why I hate it when Presidents say, "This is not who we are." Obviously, it is. And we are also better things. We are a nation made up of people, after all.

Our research team is ramping up for coming midterms. Looks like we'll be busy. If you're interested, here's an interactive graph (thanks to Stephen Prochaska) showing how X influencers re-ran the "rigged election" narrative during/following the CA primaries. faculty.washington.edu/kstarbi/Cumu...
A cumulative line graph titled "2026 CA Primary – 'Rigged Election' Allegations: Cumulative Tweets Graph," showing total tweets on the Y-axis (ranging from 0 to 1,500,000+) and time in UTC on the X-axis (June 2–10, 2026). The data, obtained using Brandwatch Consumer Research, shows a steadily accelerating upward trend in tweets over the period. Points are color-coded by tweet type: dark blue for original tweets, salmon/pink for replies, and gold/yellow for quotes. Larger hollow circles overlaid on the line indicate highly shared posts sized by number of retweets. Several notable clusters of large circles appear around June 3, June 5, June 7, and June 9, suggesting bursts of high-engagement viral posts driving spikes in cumulative tweet volume.

Most of us on the left, especially the nerdier sorts on Bluesky, probably experienced being called by anti-gay slurs, even if we aren't gay. That's all that's happening here. Gay isn't as stigmatized, so "trans" is their new word to police everyone, regardless of gender identity.

It's a huge problem to live on $174,000.00 a year and get free food, medical and a housing allowance. It must be difficult. You obviously have a house in your district. And you get a housing allowance. Insider trading is illegal. Stop making excuses. #USDemocracy

Florida just ignored its constitution to gerrymander. Ohio has repeatedly defied court rulings to gerrymander. The legal infirmity here, which is wholly invented, is also piddling next to those. Revise the statute and push the map approved by voters into force.

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.

Let’s state the obvious: The government will not convict Comey. It also likely will not convict the SPLC. The teeth of these indictments are *financial* — imposing so much cost + reputational harm that these “enemies” of the Trump admin are forever weakened. And that others like them are cowed.
