"Concerns of tribal sovereignty did not foreclose Oklahoma’s concurrent jurisdiction to prosecute in this case, said SCOTUS, because Indian tribes already lack criminal jurisdiction to prosecute crimes committed by non-Indians."

The solution is not to let Oklahoma prosecute, it's to recognize that Tribal and reservation authorities should have jurisdiction.

In memory of #TinaTurner, can the GOP primaries be held in
#ThunderDome? The results won’t be any different, but it will be vastly more entertaining.

Kevin McCarthy is a fucking liar, and our shithole media keeps letting him get away with it
once again. the yammering dipshits on cable news refuse to take even 30 seconds to explain what’s really going on

“If you had a child, you gave them a credit card, and they kept hitting the limit, you wouldn’t just keep increasing it.”

no, Kevin McCarthy, you spineless lying fuck, your manufactured debt crisis is not like giving a credit card to a child.

it’s like giving a tax cut to the obscenely wealthy and then making the needy suffer more in order to pay for that tax cut.

that’s exactly what it’s fucking like, because that’s exactly what it is.

fuck you, Kevin McCarthy, for lying your feckless face off, and fuck our worthless corporate media even harder for allowing Kev and all his shithole Republican confederates to lie and lie again, when exposing that lie would take all of five seconds.

5/ So a lot of reporting mocking #DeSantis for dwelling on the pandemic in his Big Pres. Pitch... not a great topic to focus on if you want to attract voters, genius.

And this via Judd Legum:

DeSantis suggests Black Floridians who were appointed for high-ranking positions under previous Governors were unqualified and there because of quotas

@w7voa Well stop firing teachers and let them say gay then, DeFascist.

👀 Via the Houston Chronicle:

DEVELOPING: AG #KenPaxton likely committed impeachable crimes, #Texas House investigators say

3/ And this gem from Mehdi Hasan:

Congratulations to #DeSantis's crack comms team, @BryanDGriffin, @ChristinaPushaw, and @JeremyRedfernFL, for organizing a totally effective and non-humiliating campaign launch for their boss with tech genius @elonmusk. Bravo!

Remember, their pitch is 'Trump but competent.' Lol.

We need work requirements for congress.

Did you get Covid?

Please boost for greater reach.

Investigators detail years of alleged misconduct by Texas AG Ken Paxton in stunning House committee hearing, which capped a whirlwind 24 hours at the Capitol during which Paxton unexpectedly called on Speaker Phelan to resign, alleging the Republican recently presided over the chamber while drunk. Hours later, the investigative committee revealed it was looking into Paxton, and Phelan dismissed the AG's request that he step down as a “last ditch effort to save face.”

I don't want to fucking hear about Twitter becoming a font of misinformation about anything. That's not fucking news when a fucking nazi oligarch bought it for that specific purpose. WTF is going on around here. Bunch of idiots.
