So help me God @maddow.msnbc.com, if you don’t call out WHITE SUPREMACY in your Friday show preceding the premiere of your Andrew Young documentary, you will be committing journalistic malpractice. STOP avoiding that specific terminology. It’s foundational 2 what’s happening NOW! #DeadlineWH #Maddow

They ALWAYS LIE - Rump, Maggots, Republicans - They cannot be trusted. They say they will address the healthcare problem AFTER the shutdown. It is a lie, unless they mean it will be worse. They promise a “conversation”. Why not have it now? Because they have not had a health plan for the last 10 yrs

NEW: Supreme Court likely to further diminish — but not end — Voting Rights Act cases.

A majority of the justices didn't appear willing to hold that all "race-based redistricting" is unconstitutional, as Louisiana wanted. But how they'll get there was unclear.

Tonight, at Law Dork:

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

"Every time Republicans try to scale back health care programs, conversation turns to what they are proposing as an alternative. And at that point, it always becomes clear the GOP alternative will mean fewer people with insurance."

There’s Something Weirdly Familiar About This New GOP Argument

Republicans’ latest attempt to win the shutdown fight shows they still don’t get it on Obamacare.

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.

"Halligan is finding out that prosecuting a case is harder than it looks — particularly when that case has already been rejected by seasoned prosecutors as unwinnable. Add in that it will be tried on the fastest federal docket in the US, and you’ve got the makings of a total humiliation in court."

This should automatically disqualifying Kavanaugh as a fair and independent arbiter of the law

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 22h

kavanaugh seems to be channeling bradley. “When a man has emerged from slavery, and by the aid of beneficent legislation has shaken off the inseparable concomitants of that state, there must be some stage in the progress of his elevation when he…ceases to be the special favorite of the laws.”

Jamal Greene @jamalgreene.bsky.social · 1d

Justice Kavanaugh in the Callais oral argument keeps alluding to some longstanding requirement of strict scrutiny that use of race have a time limit. This is invented.

Instead of solving the affordability crisis, Florida Republicans are considering drawing Florida’s congressional maps mid-decade, a move that’s expensive, unnecessary, and anti-democratic.

The president is already lying about his record on grocery prices. But his administration expects his anti-immigrant agenda to make matters worse.
