In 2010 Florida voters amended their Constitution to prevent partisan gerrymandering Now DeSantis says-without any judicial order or new law-that the Supreme Court is “signaling” a change So he wants to invalidate the Constitutional amendment THAT THE VOTERS JUST APPROVED #StopIllegalFloridaMaps

Odd, how a lone gunman failed to even enter a targeted room and no one was harmed—and Republicans go HYSTERICAL over the “tone” of Democrats. And yet heavily armed and masked fascists murdered two people at point-blank range in the streets of Minneapolis—and not a peep about the “tone” of the right.

Terrific take on the intellectually bankrupt use of "both sides" by the lazier members of the corporate media.
There’s no clean way to hive off terms like “fascism” or “authoritarianism” from Trump’s policies.  Even if you disagree that the words apply, their use is backed up by a genuine attempt at intellectual justification for it. The use of these terms just is deeply linked to assessments of Trump’s actual policies, from the lawless renditions to foreign gulags to the unleashing of heavily-armed militias in American cities to the naked intimidation of large swaths of civil society.

By contrast, when Trump and MAGA media figures call Democrats “communists” or “antifa,” all of that is entirely disconnected from any policy realities. Many press figures would like it if there were an Archimedean midpoint between the two parties on all these matters. But there isn’t. At the most basic level, one party continues to function as an actor in a liberal democracy, whereas Trump and much of his movement, with the eager participation of many Republicans, simply do not. Dispensing with harsh but accurate descriptions of his real goals would whitewash them.

First Lady Melania Trump also supported the false, racist birtherism claim that Barack Obama wasn’t born in America and has essentially NEVER criticized her husband for any of the incendiary things he’s said, so she can sit right down and shut up

The lawfare against me by Trump’s team continues. After losing 2x in fed court (dismissed with prejudice), Richard Grenell is appealing. We know Kash Patel helped fund it—he’s using the same lawyers to sue The Atlantic. Timing? Right after I launched my Democratic congressional campaign in Virginia.

This proves that the Hilton hotel management didn't ask the Trump administration what it should do with the uneaten food. Good on the hotel for being staffed by people far more compassionate than anyone serving in the Trump administration.

Trump started this gerrymandering fight. Dem's voted for the John Lewis Voting Rights Act to END gerrymandering nationwide. EVERY single Republican voted NO. Dem's still want fair map. The question is, do Republican's want fair elections or just safe seats for themselves?

Norah O'Donnell's "Oh, so you think he's referring to you?" to Donald Trump's "I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody" ranks with Dan Rather's "No, sir, Mr. President. Are you?" to Richard Nixon's "Are you running for something?" as the best reporter's retort of all time.

Sarah Longwell: Saying that Trump is a bad President who routinely deploys violent rhetoric and is a unique threat to liberal Democracy are appropriate and true statements. We should be full-throated in our condemnation of political violence and violent rhetoric. But we should continue to tell the truth about Trump.

Emails reveal DOJ officials planned to share voter rolls with DHS much earlier than they admitted
The emails focus attention again on the tangle of conflicting statements made by DOJ lawyers — in letters to states, court filings, and public comments — about what the agency planned for the data.
