An update on where things stand on FISA:
Early Friday morning, we successfully defeated a bill in the Senate to rubber-stamp the Trump administration's authority to spy on Americans without a warrant. This is a big win on privacy.

A 3-judge panel (including 2 Trump appointees) just issued a preliminary injunction against the new Alabama map that eliminated a majority-Black district, writing, "We cannot understand the 2023 plan [which AL is using] as anything other than intentionally discriminatory."
🚨BREAKING: 3-judge panel finds that congressional map that Alabama wants to use for this year's midterms is intentionally discriminatory and issues a preliminary injunction.

Max: "In just the past couple of weeks, there have been three separate instances of such unfathomable corruption that any other normal presidency wouldn't have survived a single one of them, let alone all three ... historians will be writing books about this period for decades to come."

They are on the right side of history. Sadly, the US is not.
CARNEY: We will be cooperating with other partners in critical areas like Ukraine, where it's outside of direct NATO responsibility but consistent with our values as Canada. We stand there, Ukraine is going to triumph, and we're going to be on the right side of history for that.

This so-called "settlement" has somehow gotten even worse and more corrupt.
This was not in the agreement that was released yesterday, by the way.

"In this case from Kentucky, the medical team attempted several lifesaving measures. Still, the baby coded twice. Doctors were able to resuscitate him the first time, but the second time, after about half an hour of trying to bring him back again, his parents finally told them they could stop."
NEW: Tiny footprints. A blue blanket.
The autopsy reports of babies who died after not receiving a vitamin K shot at birth included heartbreaking details about how small the babies were — and what items they had with them when they died.

D+11 on a generic ballot probably looks something like 40 seats gained in the House - IF we don’t get complacent.
Have you registered to vote yet? Have you double checked to make sure you’re still registered? Do you have any documentation you need to vote? Start planning now.

Texas Children's caved and ended care under pressure in April 2022, over four years ago and they still got targeted by DOJ and Paxton.
NYU caved and they still got served with a grand jury subpoena.
Caving and abandoning will not save you. You have to fight these bastards or they will destroy you.

Wow: Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, one of the biggest children's hospitals in the nation, will be forced to create the nation's first ever "detransition clinic" as part of a $10 million settlement with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

The April CPI report is out. Fuel oil up 54.3%. Gasoline up 28.4%. Electricity up 6.1%. Americans are paying more to heat their homes, fill their tanks, and put food on the table.
This is what happens when an administration spends its energy attacking the people instead of protecting them.

Trump’s GOP’s alarming talent: dismantling multiracial democracy
Trump’s Republican Party is carrying out a coordinated assault on Black political and economic power, and the consequences for Black America could last for generations. The question now facing the nation is whether the political will exists to confront those determined to dismantle multiracial democracy.

"So what needs to happen now - and it needs to happen now - is that Democrat-led states need to set aside procedure and redraw the maps. New York, New Jersey, Washington, Oregon, Illinois, Maryland, and Colorado need to get it done. Do it in 2026 if possible. By 2028 is non-negotiable."
The Left is Good Governing Itself into Obscurity
Virginia nullified three million votes overnight while Republicans go on a redistricting spree with no restraint. I saw this coming a mile away.
