Mike Johnson told Politico that he's standing behind Max Miller despite the "serious" domestic abuse allegations against him. Pro tip: if Mike Johnson is for it, do the opposite.

Good article on the Callais decision and its ramifications across the South. We’re back to Jim Crow days, folks, as states like Louisiana scramble to disenfranchise as many Black voters and Democratic voters as possible! www.salon.com/2026/05/16/s...

Supreme Court's voting rights decision could erase Black representation across the ballot - Salon.com
Local elections are where the Callais decision could be felt most

Whatever happens now, we absolutely cannot allow Trump's refusal to seek Congressional authorization for what appears to be a large scale military attack on another country vanish from the media discussion, which already appears to be happening.

We are a rogue state, run by a dictator, and the international community should treat us as such including all appropriate economic and diplomatic sanctions

Once again, one of the primary reasons we have arrived at this point (completely out-of-control & unconstitutional abuse of executive power to conduct wildly illegal foreign policy) is that no one, including the most senior people involved, went to jail for the rest of their lives for Iran-Contra.

A functioning Congress will have articles of impeachment drafted by the end of the day. Our Congress will just go to social media to basically say “We don’t like this, but what are you gonna do?”

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

Trump voters have turned the most powerful country in the world - the longtime leader of the democratic West - into a violent rogue state. In doing so, they have smashed any semblance of international law and order. This ‘might is right’ world MAGA have inflicted upon us endangers all of humanity.

Even if Trump’s attack on Venezuela and kidnapping of Maduro somehow led to a positive impact on Venezuela’s future, it would not make these actions by the United States legal, moral or wise. Normalising and legitimising this behaviour endangers all countries - democracies and dictatorships alike.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Past is prologue. In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests. And everything that led to it feels way too familiar right now. This is not a history lesson, it’s a warning.

It’s insane to treat the filibuster as the most sacrosanct. Article 1 power of the purse, oversight, and war? Nah. Emoluments clauses? Bribery prohibition? Meh. Criminal law? 14A? Doesn’t count. But maybe the Senate changes a rule it has multiple times before? Gasp! Not that. Anything but that.

No, it does not. You got NOTHING. You negotiated a non-deal. You made the shutdown meaningless. You have sold us all out. Dems are in the strongest position we’ve been in for awhile—sweeping victories on Tues, public understands Rs are responsible for shutdown—and you squandered it & capitulated.

Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means. Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.

So Democrats get: 1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays 2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail 3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

US Supreme Court rejects bid to overturn same-sex marriage right
The U.S. Supreme Court rejected on Monday a bid by a former Kentucky county official to overturn its landmark 2015 ruling legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide, as the justices steered clear of the contentious case some 3-1/2 years after its conservative majority reversed abortion rights.
