@CaptMarkKelly I get your opposition to the war, but don’t be absurd.

Here’s the investigation we should have: Who decided to hit 15,000 targets and have so little to show for it except the tragic loss of 13 American servicemembers, higher gas prices for American families, and a depleted stockpile of critical munitions?

@SteveGuest What you do when you have no substantive argument

WILD MELTDOWN: Bakari Sellers YELLS at Mr. Wonderful: “DON’T BE A DICK” on CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip during a heated discussion about the Democrats’ gerrymandering efforts.
Sellers: “There are people in this country who fought, died, and bled for the right to vote. Don’t be a dick!”
Kevin O’Leary: “I’m not a dick. I’m pointing something out to you. The Constitution is being upheld. What’s the problem with that? Do you have a problem with the Constitution of the United States of America?”

Fetterman just finds the issue that Dems are most upset about each day, takes the opposite side, then goes on Fox to call it TDS.
On the rare occasions he can put two sentences together coherently.
Rise, repeat.
It’s boring. Tired. Classless. Useless.
Like Fetterman.

Republicans changed the size of the Court for a year so that Obama couldn’t nominate a Justice.

Fleischer: For decades, Republicans lived with Supreme Court rulings they didn’t like. Roe V Wade. Republicans didn’t say we need to rig the Supreme Court. They worked within the system to change the way things worked.

@byelin Gee, maybe the law and the constitution are on their side. It’s possible.
English
Just such an interesting coincidence that every single SCOTUS decision on redistricting ends up favoring Republicans.
Political Polls@PpollingNumbers
🔴 News - The US Supreme Court rules Alabama can redraw its congressional map after tossing lower court order requiring two majority Black districts, opening the door for a more GOP friendly map.
English
@RoKhanna Your framing is so wrong. No black is being denied the chance to serve in Congress. The correct thing to say is no black is being guaranteed to serve. Perhaps that’s regrettable but you should be more accurate.
English
South Carolina, where the first shot of the civil war was fired, where 40 percent of those enslaved came through the Charleston port, is today engaged in an ugly recidivism to draw maps that will deny a Black person the chance to serve in Congress.
The stakes could not be higher.
Our political fight is not on a playground, but a moral battleground.
We must stand for Black representation across the South.

Gas would be under $3.00 and Iran would be much farther from a nuclear weapon if Trump just hadn’t torn up the Obama deal.

@DevinCow They have every right to rewrite their constitution if the do so legally. This should be obvious
English
Texas did it without a vote.
Stop gaslighting us
Steve Scalise@SteveScalise
Just so we’re clear: Democrats want to rewrite the Virginia Constitution because the State Supreme Court rejected their unconstitutional maps. For a party that loves to chant “No Kings,” this is VERY undemocratic. nytimes.com/2026/05/10/us/…

BREAKING: Trump just told Fox News that he is considering reimplementing "Project Freedom", which was the failed mission to try and escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz. He also claimed that Iran is "going to fold.
God, what a f--king mess!

@RepDanGoldman Different states have different rules, why is that so hard for you to understand?
English
In 2026, you apparently can’t redistrict through a public referendum.
But when Republicans want to ram through Congressional maps designed to dilute Black voting power and shut out Black candidates, the courts turn a blind eye.
Republicans have become the party of Jim Crow 2.0, and our judicial system is letting it happen. The fight for the future of this country has never been more urgent.

Virginia Supreme Court overturns Democrats' redistricting measure dlvr.it/TSRTbp
English
So Republicans convinced Black people they should vote for Republicans and then Republicans decided to do everything they could so that Black people’s votes stop counting as much in elections.
That is what happened, right?
English
@donnabrazile That cast has been on a long time. Maybe the bone is not healing because of the cast?
English
The 6-3 majority on the SCOTUS has given some state officials in the South the permission to remove a cast from a broken bone that hasn’t healed — the injury doesn’t disappear just because you stop treating it. #JimCrow will return if we don’t fight it again. The time is now.
English
@donnabrazile It’s not Jim Crow. This is a talking point not an actual reasoned position.
English
#JimCrow is on the rise again.
Mother Jones@MotherJones
The recent Supreme Court decision in Louisiana v. Callais effectively killed the last remaining provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. And it represents the life's work of Chief Justice John Roberts. Here's how Roberts has been steadily working for more than 40 years to destroy the country's most important civil rights law:
English
When Democrats take full control of every branch of government (it will happen eventually), they have no choice but to expand SCOTUS and add Justices.
We have never had a more corrupt Supreme Court.

🇺🇸RUBIO: "Iran is violating every law by striking ships in the Hormuz.."

#BREAKING: State Sen London Lamar: “…our ancestors died. There are bodies all across fields and in rivers across this country because they marched, they were lynched they were beaten just to advocate for the right to vote and to see them do this in 2026 is an direct INSULT on the Black community…”😢

Final thoughts on #JimCrow: My conservatives colleagues have argued it’s time to return to a “colorblind” system of governance. Race has been a defining characteristic of American life. How can we apply colorblindness to a society still shaped by historical racial inequality?
English
@Justinjpearson Voter disenfranchisement is the denial or restriction of a person’s ability to vote or to have their vote counted fairly.
English
What happened in the State of Tennessee was the largest and swiftest disenfranchisement of Black people that we've seen in at least a century.
It's on all of us to organize, mobilize, and participate in bigger numbers than their maps account for.
English
@TerryMoran And you’re absolutely certain it would not have been produced otherwise
English
Virtually every gram of highly enriched uranium Iran now has in its possession--enough to make 10 nuclear weapons--was produced after Trump withdrew from the Iran Nuclear Deal in 2017...without any effort to replace it.
Trump tore up the deal, so Iran got back to work.
The White House@WhiteHouse
They will be laughing no longer!

@RoKhanna If you can’t see the difference between now and then, you’re not being honest.
English
A South Carolina without a single Black representative would be a return to Jim Crow. I went on Fox to explain that the Supreme Court's decision allowing states to eliminate Black majority districts reverses the very progress of the Civil Rights era. It's not about partisanship, but justice. @SundayBriefFNC
