GA Governor Brian Kemp won't redistrict Georgia - THIS election. So gear up to fight him for 2028 as he engages in the usual GOP racism to try to reduce minority representation. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/live-blog/iran-war-60-day-authorization-threshold-trump-hegseth-congress-rcna343015/rcrd109325?canonicalCard=true #uspol #democracy #scotus #georgia #vra

A new lawsuit is challenging Louisiana’s extraordinary decision to suspend congressional primaries already underway — arguing the state is illegally nullifying votes and plunging an active election into chaos following the Supreme Court’s gutting of the Voting Rights Act. https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/louisiana-sued-for-suspending-active-election-nullifying-votes-to-draft-gop-gerrymander/ #voting #democracy #uspol #scotus #vra

Donald Trump is a loser, and he and the GOP can't escape his failures. How are they messing up right now? The GOP electeds still bow before Trump and his Ballroom even as his popularity plummets. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-approval-sinks-record-low-war-with-iran-drives-cost-of-living-concerns-2026-04-28/ Lindsey Graham wants YOU to pay for Trump's ballroom. https://democrats.org/news/lindsey-graham-asks-taxpayers-to-foot-the-bill-for-trumps-ballroom/ The Ballroom - and Trump's other vanity projects - are unpopular. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/04/30/washington-post-poll-trump-ballroom/ Meanwhile while you pay for the Ballroom you're paying more at the pump and facing inflation. https://apnews.com/article/consumer-prices-gas-inflation-5c2037950e57d8e5d402a40b8fc41384 A GOP PAC is panicking about losing the Senate. Let's make sure that happens. https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2026/04/30/congress/koch-americans-for-prosperity-worries-republican-senate-majority-00899307 #politics #democrats #democracy #california #santaclara #USPol #CAPol

Paul Krugman: "On Wall Street, TACO — Trump Always Chickens Out — has abruptly been replaced as a favorite meme by NACHO — Not a Chance Hormuz Opens. As a result, oil futures have soared. So what is preventing the reopening of the Strait? Three factors: Trump’s ego, his ignorance, and the Iranians’ unfortunately justified belief that any agreement they reach with America would be effectively worthless." https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-logic-of-nacho #UsPol 1/n

They sacked the Capitol and brought the Confederate flag, but racism poses no threat to democracy in America, so there’s no cause for concern, according to Roberts et al. #uspol #voting #SCOTUS #democracy

RE: https://flipboard.com/@gothamist/gothamist-igeoft02z/-/a-SSw6eJEgS4-jDxtlgYR_pQ%3Aa%3A3807498986-%2F0 this fucking headline: they weren't voting against extending food stamp coverage of rotisserie chickens. they had proposals to EXTEND COVERAGE TO ALL HOT, SUPERMARKET PREPARED MEALS dafuckouttahere #nyc #foodStamps #welfare #USpol UPDATE: the headline is misleading. the 3 from ny wanted to cover ALL HOT FOODS, to include vegetarians. THE MEASURE PASSED. am assuming their NO gives them leverage for introducing an amendment to expand benefits. if not, NY WILL HAVE TO SUE.

Just in: Trump Media appointed Boris Epshteyn chairman of the board today. SE filing does not appear to mention that Arizona indicted Epshteyn for allegedly working to overturn the state's presidential election result in 2020. #news #trump #TMTG #DJT #politics #USPOL https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1849635/000114036126018230/ef20071731_10ka.htm

Report: Ex-Mossad chief, Tamir Pardo, likens occupier violence in the West Bank to the Holocaust "My mother was a Holocaust survivor, & what I saw reminded me of the events that happened against Jews in the last century." The settler violence "I saw today made me feel ashamed to be Jewish," Pardo said, during a tour of Palestinian villages. https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260428-ex-mossad-chief-ashamed-to-be-jewish-likens-occupier-violence-in-west-bank-to-holocaust/ #USPol #EUPol #SettlerViolence #IsraeliCrimes #news #palestine #illegalOccupation #WestBank .

📉 Trump's $WLFI token continues to plummet, fell below $0.06 for the first time ever today. Now trading at an all-time low of $0.05926—down 82% from where it debuted on public markets. Don't worry about Trump, though. He almost certainly put no money in this venture. #WLFI #trump #news #crypto #politics #uspol https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/world-liberty-financial?chart=type%3Dprice%26mode%3Dnull%26timeframe%3Dnull
