I don't think I ever used a hashtag for Santos. Opportunity missed. #politics

And there it is. Texas Republican Bryan Slaton, who has led the MAGA crusade against “grooming” in the state, is now facing expulsion for inappropriate sexual conduct towards a teenage intern. Slaton said drag shows are “grooming children.” #politics #PedostotheRight

Just to recap where we are: We've got a majority of Dems who think judges shouldn't take bribes and homeless people shouldn't be choked to death. But a majority of GOPers who think both things are cool. And a bunch of people who somehow can't decide and need more information.
And yet, somehow, we also have a majority of elected Dems who think those things are wrong but don't want to piss off the people who think they're cool. #SCOTUS #politics

The election was not stolen.
The Supreme Court was.
DeSantis and Florida GOP look to upend public record laws as they attempt to shield his travel and other records ahead of likely White House bid

Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️
Congress has ample power to enact ethical standards to govern the non-judicial conduct of SCOTUS Justices, derived from the Necessary & Proper Cl of Art I, Sec 8, coupled with Art III, Sec 1’s vesting of the judicial power in one Supreme Court. Such a code would enhance, not erode, the currently endangered independent judiciary. #SCOTUS #politics

This (North Carolina) decision is a major blow to Democrats' chances of retaking the House in 2024.
BUT: The New York legislature can undo some of the overall damage by redrawing the Republican gerrymander that New York's high court imposed last year. The court is no longer in GOP control. #politics

The Minnesota Legislature has passed the Democracy for the People Act, which would allow 16- and 17-year-olds to pre-register to vote and establish automatic voter registration at many state agencies.
The bill now heads to Gov. Tim Walz, who has promised to sign it into law. #politics #voting #elections
According to the affidavit, Sanford’s involvement in the investigation began with a cyber tip linked to an AOL email account likely being operated by Sanford. The tip was submitted to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in July 2019, then forwarded to the South Dakota Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force in August 2019 #politics
