Eyeing Voting Rights, Liberals Aim to Secure Wisconsin’s Supreme Court through 2030 - Bolts After flipping the court in 2023, Wisconsin liberals now hope to expand their majority on a body that could be a critical backstop for voting rights during the next presidential election.

NEW: Believe it or not, it’s that time of year: the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is next month.

Liberals have a huge opportunity: if they win, they can lock down the majority of this court thru 2030.

That means they’d have it in the next presidential race, a big democracy guardrail.

Ed, just subscribed & loved your $CRWV, $APLD & $ORCL thoughts. A recent 8-K revealed ORCL is Polaris Forge 2's lease holder & APLD plans to add 200MW using offering $.

If ORCL is quitting Stargate, what are the chances they actually occupy Polar Forge 2?

The Alleged Trump Victim's Claims about Blackmail Are as Important as Her Claims about Rape - emptywheel One day before Jeffrey Epstein suicided, the woman who claimed Donald Trump had abused her told the FBI that Epstein and Trump had spoken about blackmail in front of her.

On the missing Epstein files: It's not JUST that DOJ is still withholding a bunch of pages re allegation he raped a teenager. It's that they only released duplicates (those sent to Ghislaine in discovery), raising questions if the originals still exist.

Platner’s former campaign team know something’s wrong - they all quit. They know he would lose in the general election. Janet Mills needs to make him lose in the primary instead. And she can, just by demanding his records. He won’t show them - he can’t. Confront him with that. 7/

Platner’s excuse is a new tattoo policy; he calls it “stupid”. But the Marines aren’t stupid and they needed men. They ‘grandfathered in’ all currently-serving Marines, exempting them from the rules, for all but one class of tattoos: those that were "racist ...or extremist group.. related". 4/

Critical thread on Platner, who is becoming the Democrats' Roy Moore (i.e. a test of whether we have any boundaries at all).

If Krisi Noem is going to S.H.E.I.L.D. you know Lewandowski is gonna follow her. And you know she'll make sure his new codename is THOR.

And as someone who closely monitors both websites I can assure you that X is a right wing radicalization pipeline, including for people who consider themselves smart and progressive, while Bluesky is just an overwhelming left leaning platform. Those are very different things.

This mighta been a 2-bagger firing:

Doubt Lewandowski stays now that his squeeze has been squeezed out.

It's the GOP President playbook: Destroy the economy & bomb the Middle East.

Every GOP President in my lifetime has done this.

Again: I'm not convinced he's a Nazi antisemite.

I *am* 100% convinced he's either a liar who knew damned well what the SS Totenkopf tattoo symbolized *or* he's a fucking moron who somehow never once in 18 yrs noticed that it shows up in every WWII movie despite claiming to be a WWII military buff.

Yesterday it was The Economist hyping Gavin Newsom, today it's Rupert Murdoch's WSJ fluffing Rahm Emanuel.

The "respectable" right-wing propaganda complex is working VERY hard to promote centrist Dems.

The Iranian ship will not be where it was if we had not invited it to talk part in our Milan exercise.
We were the hosts.
I am told that as per protocol for this exercise ships cannot carry any ammunition. It was defenceless.
The Iranian naval personnel had paraded before our president.
The attack by the US submarine was
premeditated as the US was aware of the Iranian ship's presence in the exercise to which the US navy was invited but withdrew from participation at the last minute, presumably with this operation in mind.
The US has ignored India's sensitivities as the ship was in these waters because of India's invitation.
We are far from politically or militarily responsible for the US attack.
Our"responsibility" is at a moral and human plane.
A word of condolence by the Indian Navy ( after political clearance) at the loss of lives of those who were our invitees and saluted our president would be in order.

Some context to the Iranian boat that was targeted by US off Sri Lanka coast

Former Indian FM: “US was aware of the Iranian ship's presence in the exercise to which the US navy was invited but withdrew from participation at the last minute”
