"Ultimately it’s not a question of 'someone else' deciding to defeat Trumpists. What is required is that a plurality of Republican voters needs to stop choosing authoritarianism." Is that a thing that can or will happen?

The trump-bought supreme court will hear a hugely consequential case on Wednesday —today— that will determine the future of the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, the landmark civil rights law designed to prevent discrimination in voting nationwide.

In the 1995 book The Demon Haunted World, Carl Sagan warned that the US was turning its back on science, and that the consequences would be dire.

Near the start of their new book, Michael E. Mann and Peter J. Hotez argue that what the astronomer feared is now coming to pass.

🚨 Elise Stefanik received this award from her allies involved in the racist text messaging scandal.

Elise posed with Bobby Walker who referred to rape as “epic” and Peter Giunta who texted, “I love Hitler,” called NBA games, “monkey …ball” and Black people “watermelon people.”

This is what Christianity looks like in 2025. A Susquehanna Township pastor is under fire for bringing an AR-15 style rifle to church and pointing it at churchgoers while telling them to “overwhelm your enemy with a violent action of faith.” #Pennsylvania

Juliette Rihl @julietterihl.bsky.social · 7d

I don’t usually cover breaking news, but this story is truly wild.

A pastor in central PA brought an AR-15 to church and pointed it at people during his sermon. Gun safety experts and internet commentators are, predictably, not happy!

Dauphin County pastor under fire for pointing assault-style rifle during sermon

In a move experts called a serious safety violation, he pointed the unloaded weapon at churchgoers, while asking for a 'violent action of faith.'
