oh my god -- Sean Duffy on Fox & Friends this morning announced that he spent parts of *7 MONTHS* (more than half a year!) on a roadtrip with his family to celebrate America's 250th anniversary

Justin J. Pearson: “This new MAGA movement, it is an iteration of the Klan. It has mainstreamed racism, it has mainstreamed white supremacy, it has mainstreamed bigotry, homophobia, transphobia. It has mainstreamed all the worst of who we are as a country”

This was once a serious document written by serious people in both Dem and GOP Admins. Now it reads like a partisan screed, lacking data or analysis or discussion of capabilities or relative threats, filled with typos, and mocks the American public’s intelligence.

Tennesseean reporter @Vivian_E_Jones with receipts showing @BrentTaylorTN only cared about making *himself* matter all along...

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

A former sheriff’s deputy is found guilty of reckless homicide at trial for shooting a Black man who was bringing sandwiches to his grandmother’s house. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/e…

Responding to the Trump-written motion to dismiss in the Ballroom case, plaintiffs say it makes multiple statements govt attys know to be false, is “utterly unprofessional,” & is signed by 3 top DOJ attys who had never previously appeared in the case.... 1/2 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Within 8 days of Callais, Tennessee, a state that had no legal obligation to remedy anything, redrew their congressional map. When Ohio was ordered to redraw maps in 10 days, the state claimed it was not enough time and they couldn't do it, instead submitting this to the court.

Meanwhile DeSantis….

“I’m gonna carry my baby to bury my baby…” Nancy Davis Nancy Davis is a Louisiana woman whose fetus was missing the top of its skull, a condition called acrania. She was 10 weeks pregnant when an ultrasound showed this rare but fatal condition. Acrania kills babies within minutes or days of birth. Louisiana’s abortion ban contains a general exception for fetuses that cannot survive outside their mothers’ wombs, however, if your condition is not on the list, you’re shit out of luck. She was sent home and told she had to carry to term. Nancy subsequently had to travel from Louisiana to New York to receive the medical care she needed. This is not pro-life this is inhumane. Republicans don’t govern they torture. #DemsUnited #AbortionIsHealthCare

A MAGA congressman has been accused of years of physical abuse against his ex-wife, the daughter of a prominent Republican senator. thedailybeast.com/maga-rep-max-m…

@Mollyploofkins So while airports and TSA lines were in chaos, Sean and his reality-TV show wife were taking road trips on the taxpayers' dime? Awesome. And people said he wouldn't take his job seriously!

Sean Duffy reveals he spent 7 months making a reality TV show while serving as Transportation Secretary

Remember that $250M "Somali fraud" case in Minnesota? Turns out the entire scheme was orchestrated by an American-born White woman, Aimee Bock. Prosecutors showed she built the playbook, coached the sites on how to invent data, and then used the Somali community as a "racial shield" to sue the state and stop them from investigating. She made them the face of the "charity" while she managed the looting. Aimee Bock is set for sentencing later this month, May 21, 2026. Give her the maximum.

“THEY ARE SUCH LIARS.” @VoteGloriaJ rips Republicans for claiming they don’t know Memphis is a majority-Black city as they carve their vote in thirds. GOP is ~90% white. They hide behind “partisanship” & “Republican” to *legally* dilute Black representation with white power.

Kaine: "The U.S. Supreme Court eviscerates the Voting Rights Act in a lawsuit brought by a January 6 extremist and Southern states race to craft backroom deals disenfranchising minority voters and candidates. Meanwhile Virginia voters choose to stand up against national disenfranchisement only to see their votes cast into the trash by a 4-3 ruling."

HAKEEM JEFFRIES says House Democrats "are exploring all options to overturn this shocking decision."

No vote in Tennessee (+1 GOP) No vote in Florida (+4 GOP) No vote in Missouri (+1 GOP) No vote in North Carolina (+2 GOP) No vote in Texas (+5 GOP) Virginia’s voter-approved maps thrown out. MAGA has rigged the system.

@atrupar Bragging that you took nutrition assistance away from poor people to give tax cuts to billionaires and suggesting that the people that receive benefits aren’t working when most of them do work is just so disgraceful.
