if you've ever wondered "why do the bridges in the bay area only make you pay toll in one direction," well, i'll answer that for you: ronald reagan. but you gotta go to threads to see the story, sorry. 🤷🏾‍♀️ www.threads.com/@theericajoy...

ages ago this sent me down a rabbit hole and i just restarted chrome and was reminded this tab existed. so allow me to share why tolls only get paid in one direction so i can finally close this tab.

🚨BREAKING: Washington DC federal court BLOCKS Postal Service mail-in ballot rule. First court to prohibit USPS from taking steps to allow voluntary compliance with anti-voting rule. A victory for ELG and our clients DSCC, DCCC, DNC, DGA and Leaders Schumer and Jeffries!

It’s all identity politics, but since it’s largely white identity politics it’s fine and doesn’t count. It’s not something communist like police shouldn’t be able to get away with murder bsky.app/profile/chri...

Trump blaming Zelenskyy for high diesel fuel prices is like trump blaming immigrants on high housing prices … it’s getting fucking old and nobody’s buying it. It’s all Trumps fault

Threatening to rename New Mexico, like the other stupid renaming things he's done, illustrates how Trump's concept of the presidency is largely centered on being an annoying bitch online

Question for young people as my youngest nephews' birthdays are coming up: Is it true that y'all aren't concerned with being overly "matchy-matchy?" You don't necessarily put together coordinating colors all the time?

Platner not dropping out immediately, and then trying to use hostage taking demands, is just further proof that he lacks the integrity to have run in the first damn place. Then again, if he had any integrity, he wouldn't have run in the first damn place.

This cover of Emerge magazine was published in 1996. Given his hand in today's SCOTUS decision to eliminate a Black district in Alabama, it remains valid.

Hakeem Jeffries: Well, the American people absolutely should be deeply concerned. We need a wellness check on this guy. He continues to exhibit signs of decay. Something is really wrong with this guy, which is why I’ve publicly called for a wellness check, an intervention.

But if all you do is attack the Democratic Party while Black leaders are being targeted, Black voting rights are being dismantled, Black political power is under assault, and HBCUs are under attack, then don’t expect me to treat you any differently than I treat Trump and his MAGA acolytes.

As in any business, one way to grow the audience is when your competition screws up. That's exactly what's happening at ABC's World News Tonight. It's added nearly 1-million viewers so far this year thanks in part to Bari Weiss' mistakes at CBS. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...

The CBS Evening News may never recover from Bari Weiss' meddling
Just how bad are things at CBS? Insiders & seasoned pros say it's a train wreck, calamity, crisis, sinking ship & disaster as the marquee evening newscast hits new lows “not seen in this century.”

You and your neighbors should not be subsidizing the electricity needs of a data center run by a trillion-dollar corporation.   My Power for the People Act would force Big Tech to pay for their own power needs. We should pass it today to protect consumers from rising costs NOW.

Hi fellow Virginians. Go out and vote "YES" today if you haven't already. If you want Democrats to fight Trump's corruption, you have to give them the tools to do so. Hate gerrymandering? GOOD! Support federal Democrats' efforts to ABOLISH it nationwide.
