Republican failures in voting rights cases continues to be a dominant theme of election law in 2025, just as it has been for the last five years. Perhaps more in the legacy media could cover this important trend.

There have now been four legal challenges to California's redistricting law. All have failed spectacularly. Three have been dismissed by courts prior to California even filing a response. The fourth was rejected after a California filed a simple motion to dismiss.

On this day 225 years ago, John Adams moved into the still-not-quite-complete White House, becoming the first president to occupy it. His blessing was carved into the State Dining Room mantel in 1945: "May none but Honest and Wise Men ever rule under This Roof.”

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

“They think that they’re tough. They have no idea how tough we are. They think that they’re hardcore. We are so much more hardcore than they are.”

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

You know what i'd really love is if several of the awesome outlets organized as workers' collectives ( @flaminghydra.com , @defector.com , @aftermath.site , etc) got together and figured out some sort of reciprocity arrangement? I'd pay for a more expensive sub if i could get a broader spectrum.
I think we’re in for a bad reckoning re reader supported media. People are overextended and we’re already experiencing a consumer spending pullback generally

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ.

We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights.

Said this before, but if your Ron Paul Phase was anything more meaningful than “I like what this guy says about the Iraq War…whoops I learned literally any other thing about him and now I’m out” then you are not to be trusted
the Ron Paul -> left politics trajectory has been a disaster for the human race
Banging this drum again but I think this is another symptom of how the left sub-contracted out so much of thinking and morality to libertarianism

Why?

Last year, Andrew Cuomo brought in nearly $5 million for "consulting."

We don't know who paid him.

Or who he now owes.
