If Dems win the Supreme Court races in Pennsylvania in 9 days, it’s extremely likely the GOP can’t get a majority on that court until 2029.

The GOP really wants to have this majority during the 2028 presidential race.

Can’t put the stakes any more clearly than that. boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...
Inside the Clunky Elections to Control Pennsylvania's Supreme Court - Bolts
The GOP is making an expensive push to end Democrats’ majority on a court at the center of election lawsuits, sparking a fledging campaign season with little precedent or template.

Trump reaches a “deal” to pause the tariffs he imposed on China. I guess all those manufacturing jobs aren’t coming here now, the tariffs won’t replace income taxes, and all the other amazing things they were supposed to do for us are over. So much for Liberation Day.

So true.
One thing that jumped out at me in the Fetterman piece was the tidbit that every time he does something right-wing on Israel, his dad calls him and tells him how proud he is.

Just think about all the damage white men with daddy issues are currently doing to this country.

The only way. Abort them from office.
‘Thoughts and prayers’ are all you’ll ever get from the GOP.

The only way to save Americans from living forever in a slaughter zone is to crush the Republican Party electorally.

Also, autistic kids probably wouldn't get brain-gnawing Trichinosis worms from under-cooked bear meat. They're detail oriented - they'd consult a Wikipedia article on cooking meat and so use a meat thermometer.
3 things autistic kids will actually never do:

1. Pick up a roadkill bear from the side of the road and put it in their van to eat

2. Realize they could get in trouble for eating the bear

3. Leave it in Central Park to frame a cyclist for its murder

Today's ruling from Boasberg is a lawful order and sets a process in motion. Compliance is expected.

Anything less than that is abnormal and must be treated as such — from the courts, from Congress, from other officials, and ultimately from the people.

Don't say he won't comply. Say he must.

Friends, this story strongly suggests the interim US Attorney in DC was very recently on the payroll of Russian intelligence.

Exclusive: Ed Martin, now the interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, did not disclose his RT and Sputnik appearances from 2016 to 2024 to the Senate. The State Department has said the networks act like arms of Russian intelligence.

You know who else we’re thinking about? People who have had their visas suddenly revoked, or who have been surreptitiously marched into a Salvadoran prison, without a shred of due process.

The problem is, none of this is breaking through to ‘regular’ low-information people. If we don’t figure out how to do that quickly, I’m not sure we have a chance to stop this momentum.
Remember Fiona Hill? She’s now sounding the alarm again: “We’re definitely on a path toward full-on state repression. There’s no question about it. I’ve thought about this for an extraordinarily long time.” When Fiona speaks, we should all listen.

Justice Sotomayor, writing in today's deportation case. How many times must she write, "With fear for our democracy, I dissent," before Republicans get the point? Perhaps only when, as the poem goes, they come for them.

The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only 3 comments so far.

Embarrassing how the media is completely ignoring this. There's likely over 200,000 trans people on ACA plans (1% of 24 million)
