NEW: The new food pyramid was built by corporate interests. General Mills, Danone, the beef industry, and more had financial ties to the scientists writing the new dietary guidelines. RFK said he couldn't be bought, then he let Big Food write the nutrition guidelines.

It has just been revealed that the US has already spent at least $25 billion on a war for Israel that began by killing 100+ schoolgirls and Congress is now voting on… condemning Hasan Piker

They’re gutting the Voting Rights Act. Racism breeds fascism

Justice Kagan: "I dissent. The Voting Rights Act is—or, now more accurately, was—'one of the most consequential, efficacious, and amply justified exercises of federal legislative power in our Nation's history.' It was born of the literal blood of Union soldiers and civil rights marchers. It ushered in awe-inspiring change, bringing this Nation closer to fulfilling the ideals of democracy and racial equality. And it has been repeatedly, and overwhelmingly, reauthorized by the people's representatives in Congress. Only they have the right to say it is no longer needed—not the Members of this Court. I dissent, then, from this latest chapter in the majority's now-completed demolition of the Voting Rights Act."

Here's my response to the Jacobin piece criticizing the movement against AI data centers. A working class coalition has formed in opposition to the Big Tech billionaires enshittifying every aspect of our lives. The Left should be uniformly on its side. jacobin.com/2026/04/data-c…

AOC says Democrats should respond to SCOTUS weakening the VRA by doing their own redistricting until a national gerrymander ban passes

I’m not interested in complaining about this Supreme Court VRA ruling. I’m interested in action. Republicans will begin a purge of blue seats, so the purge of red seats must begin. Let’s not waste time, blue states. Just draw new maps and show the Republicans what it looks like to use their rules against them. They’ll be begging on all fours for independent redistricting.

Today’s 6-3 decision gutting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act is utterly abhorrent. Chief Justice Roberts has spent his entire career dismantling this law — and this opinion by Justice Alito is the worst of it yet. This a dark new chapter in the history of our nation. And a glaring reminder of the need to expand and reform an utterly broken court.

Conservatives on the Supreme Court and the Trump administration are laying the groundwork for a white-minority power structure the closer this country gets to a “majority-minority” reality. They are uprooting civil rights protections that made this place a real democracy.
@ijbailey@ijbailey

John "Balls and Strikes" Roberts has completed his mission, gutting the Voting Rights Act. He and the rest of the conservative justices are doing it on the legal end while the Trump administration is uprooting civil rights protections from the executive branch.

Israel killed a 9-year old in Gaza TODAY. They’ve killed over 800 Palestinians since October. If over 800 Israelis were killed, would you still say a “fragile ceasefire holds” @AP?

In a little more than a year, Lee Zeldin has transformed the E.P.A. from an agency devoted to protecting human health and the environment into one that, more or less openly, sides with polluters, Elizabeth Kolbert reports. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/LtoxjN

If the Democrats don't make rebalancing and expanding the Supreme Court a top priority for whenever (if?) they next get into power, then I don't know what to say anymore. The GOP-packed court is the biggest block on progress in this country and has been for a while.
