The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is moving toward reclassifying marijuana as a less dangerous drug. The Justice Department proposal would recognize the medical uses of cannabis, but wouldn't legalize it for recreational use.

The NRA is falling apart, and the gun cult may be going with it 

Does this mean no more Republican family Christmas pics with all those guns?

Conservative judges are rolling back rights with trickery

Lengthy, complex judicial opinions are just hiding what we’re losing. Читать дальше...

The Arizona Legislature approved a repeal of a long-dormant ban on nearly all abortions Wednesday, advancing the bill to Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs, who is expected to sign it.

Louisiana is once again without a valid congressional map following a new federal court ruling issued Tuesday evening, and it's not yet clear how the matter might get resolved. But proposals put forward earlier in the complex litigation that has led up to this moment show that there are readily available options that should satisfy the competing legal principles at play.

The House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government held its latest hearing Wednesday morning and the ranking Democrat once again set the proper tone of ridicule for this installment of the embarrassing farce led by House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan and his Republican lackeys.

U.S. jobs openings slid in March to the lowest level in more than three years, but stayed at historically high levels in a sign that the job market remains resilient in the face of higher interest rates.

Americans have witnessed something remarkable unfolding in the judicial system in recent years: Conservative jurists seemingly bent on taking away—as opposed to preserving or expanding—rights from abortion to affirmative action enjoyed by the American public. Many of these rights are being methodically erased in lengthy, complex judicial opinions that the vast majority of citizens will never read. These rights are being whittled away in the shadows by judges whose names they do not know, and spun... Читать дальше...

Florida's ban on most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, before many women even know they are pregnant, went into effect Wednesday, and some doctors are concerned that women in the state will no longer have access to needed health care.

The best way to interview Donald Trump is to … not interview him.

Unless you’re a particularly ardent supporter of vicious, kindergarten-level lies—such as “I won the election because I was ahead on election night” or “immigrants ate my health care plan”—there’s really no reason to listen to, much less solicit, any of his so-called opinions. But Time magazine did just that.

Since his latest fibs are just fragrant fish heads in a whopping seafood ‘n’ BS paella, it’s important to... Читать дальше...

The Arizona Supreme Court won’t reconsider its decision to revive a near-total abortion ban from 1864 that threatens doctors with prison time.

Earlier this month, the high court ruled in a 4-2 majority opinion that the 160-year-old law trumps a 15-week gestational ban passed in 2022, effectively outlawing all abortions in the state. Less than two weeks after that ruling was released, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes filed a motion to reconsider with the high court. Читать дальше...

Only a few weeks ago, the world was aghast at Israel's killing of seven World Central Kitchen aid workers in three separate vehicles, and an investigation revealed the IDF's AI targeting system that led to enormous numbers of civilian casualties. It's no mystery why students are protesting. By all accounts, the tent encampment at Columbia University was peaceful, yet cops were called in to break it up and the students were suspended. (Since I finished this cartoon, people occupied a building and... Читать дальше...

Abbreviated Pundit Roundup is a long-running series published every morning that collects essential political discussion and analysis around the internet.

Rachel Maddow dedicated time during her show on Monday to talking about the extent of the election fraud rot in the Republican Party. Acknowledging that Donald Trump is always going to hoover “up all the oxygen in the room,” Maddow said she wanted to broaden the scope to look at the GOP as a whole.

Donald Trump can't stop the abortion policy fallout he kicked into high gear earlier this month when he declared states should be the ultimate arbiters on reproductive freedom and the bodily autonomy of pregnant Americans.

It would be hard to find an organization more corrupt and incompetent than the NRA, though a few individuals on a certain court sure come to mind. In January, chief executive Wayne LaPierre ended three decades of control when he resigned ahead of a trial over tapping organization funds to treat himself to yacht trips, African safaris, and regular use of a private jet. In February, that trial ended with LaPierre being ordered to pay back almost $4.4 million.
