I Reached Out to the White House Counterterrorism Czar for Comment. He Lashed Out on X. --- Sebastian Gorka accused a ProPublica reporter of writing a “putrid piece of hackery” about him. Here’s how basic beat reporting led to a broader story about the state of the U.S. counterterrorism mission at a critical moment. https://www.propublica.org/article/sebastian-gorka-counterterrorism-reporting?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post #News #WhiteHouse #Government #USPolitics #Security #Journalism

U.S. Politics, school boards, Texas Sensitive
Frank Strong, co-founder of the Texas Freedom to Read Project, posted a long thread with updates in the many races for school board seats across his state over the weekend (start of the thread here: https://bsky.app/profile/frankstrong.bsky.social/post/3mkvua5t25c25 ) He put up a google document with updates, and context notes, here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gj-61CqFdvEPmqlgoO-0tpoKQIsuJ3638SaebjoqqxI/edit?tab=t.0 #USPolitics #SchoolBoards #Texas #Censorship #FreedomToRead

U.S. Politics, librarians Sensitive
In the same vein as above, via Kelly Jensen: "These five librarians are running for state political offices across the country. Here's why they're running, and why librarians make good candidates." Keeping in mind that *some* librarians out there are white supremacists and Nazi supporters, Kelly's point is very much still valid: just, vet your own librarian candidate before you support them. #USPolitics #Midterms #Voting #Democracy #Librarians https://bookriot.com/librarians-running-for-office-2026/

Naturally, the new Fox News Surgeon General nominee is both anti-vax and anti-trans. So that's what you'd expect. https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/trump-nominates-anti-trans-fox-news #fascism #politics #uspol #uspolitics #FuckTrump #FuckMAGA #FuckMAHA #antiTrans

Rubio said it on Air Force One: Cuba is next. After Maduro. After Khamenei. The empire is moving fast and the press is taking dictation. https://twp.ai/9OUtCG #Cuba #ForeignPolicy #Rubio #Antiwar #RegimeChange #USPolitics #LatinAmerica #NoMoreWars #Imperialism #Politics

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on April 29 to sharply limit the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The ruling hollows out a landmark law that protected minority voting rights for six decades. Here's a look at the case and how it could change America.

New: President Trump's memecoin project is preparing to launch a membership club promising "elite and extraordinary experiences". This is the latest attempt to prop up a token down 97% from peak. https://www.citationneeded.news/trump-coin-club/ #crypto #cryptocurrency #USpol #USpolitics

Will 2026 finally be the year of third parties in the United States, the year when voters are fed up with our political duopoly? https://www.cfr.org/articles/the-u-s-economy-was-shaky-before-the-iran-war-now-its-in-real-trouble #elections #democracy #duopoly #elections2026 #DemocraticParty #GOP #midtermElections #politicalParties #USElections #USPolitics

Live to tape, historian and author Arthur Milnes regales us with tales of the US presidents and Canadian prime ministers he has known. He talks about chaining up Nixon in the back yard (not the way it sounds); his presidential and prime ministerial-planted garden, what happened when his wife learned he'd offered to put up Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter, and more. https://shorturl.at/rsEqD at bluevotecafe.com, or wherever you get your podcasts! #demsabroad #bluevotecafe #politics #USpol #USpolitics

A limited-government advocate in Texas persuaded five small towns to incorporate as “liberty cities,” which feature lean governments, little to no taxation and scant regulation. At least two of them struggle to provide basic services. https://www.propublica.org/article/art-martinez-de-vara-dallas-hero-lawsuit?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post #News #Texas #Dallas #Police #Law #Government #USPolitics

The White House says Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick properly divested from Cantor Fitzgerald by transferring leadership to his sons. Anyway GOP officials called Lutnick about a Cantor-funded PAC planning to spend $1.75M on Ken Paxton and the PAC reversed course, but that’s probably just how independent companies behave when the former owner gets a phone call. https://www.axios.com/2026/04/24/texas-crypto-howard-lutnick-republicans #crypto #cryptocurrency #USpol #USpolitics
