How are rapists getting away with no jail time? People need to recall the judge who presided over the case. www.news9.com/crime/jesse-...

Jessica: Trump doesn't have the same issues that Joe Biden did. He doesn't have a supply chain problem. He doesn't have a global health pandemic. He's just setting our economy on fire and not in a good way. Like the dumpster fire way

We wouldn't know about Kushner et al were it not for SEC filing requirements. Hmm, somebody needs to get control of the SEC to prevent those kinds of disclosures. Hey, whaddya know, SCOTUS is working on that very thing right this minute!

The Ellison family’s desire to take over Warner Bros should alarm anyone concerned with U.S. propaganda & media consolidation— They would own Paramount, Warner Bros, CNN, CBS, HBO, TikTok & a host of major cable channels

Everyone: ICE and CBP cannot be more hated ICE/CBP: [starts wearing Meta smart glasses] Everyone:

And even if you're right, the punishment for drug smuggling isn't death.

Trump’s game plan when caught by a reporter: 1. I know nothing about that 2. I never said that 3. Deny everything 4. Call them piggy, stupid, fat or Fake news.

Good morning from your 4:30am Lakie alarm! 🐾 It’s 9°F, the house is making creepy cold noises, so I stole some socks and barked at EVERYTHING. Then I went back to sleep, like a responsible citizen, leaving Mom wide awake. ❄️🧦💤 Anyone else start chaos before sunrise? #dogsofbluesky #dogsofbsky

Russia’s assets in the West are not hiding their traitorous plans

give up on electing them and anyone like them? No. But you have to win the seat to effect the systemic change that can make it more likely such candidates can win; solely symbolic nomination victories won't counter fascism. (Also, stop nominating people who can win but won't change anything.) 2/2

A This Is Our Current Political Reality fact too many deny: no matter how much your candidate ought to win, if they'll draw more votes against them than another of your party's candidates would—and they don't have the overwhelming support that other candidate does—they'll lose. Does that mean 1/2

The reason to require government approval of big mergers is to prevent market-distorting concentrations of corporate power that harm competition and consumers, not so the president can distort the market in favor of ideological allies and/or solicit a bribe for himself.

Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

A woman in Saskatchewan needs surgery for a parathyroid issue and is being offered MAiD instead. There’s no one in the province who can perform the procedure and the government won’t pay to send her elsewhere. This is why disability advocates warn about assisted dying 🧵

This was sold in the Beautiful Books section at my local Waterstones. And it is a lovely physical book (as well as one of Pterry’s finest) so now it’s in my library awaiting my retirement.

I was talking to my friend about injustice the other day. He made the point that sometimes people intentionally go out of their way to not understand or remain ignorant. I’m realizing some Americans want to be ignorant of US foreign policy. Many don’t care about anyone but themselves.

The fact Bovino is a career civil servant and not a political appointee really shows CBP needs to be abolished root and branch. Let the IRS do customs (seriously).

While it has dropped from being a top story…Trump’s DOJ…recently pushed a ‘historical review’ of 2020. That’s code…for “rewriting the past to punish enemies.” That’s ALWAYS a big story. Watch closely. When autocrats…rewrite yesterday… they’re coming for tomorrow. # HoldFast

This whole book is a hate crime. She's burning a cross on the front lawn of the English language.

The Supreme Court is working hard to turn this country into a despot's dreamscape—while making it nigh impossible for good people to make lasting change for the better. Those of us who begged folks (and national media) to put SCOTUS before everything else in 2016 are in an endless Cassandrian hell.

Thank you, @nicollewallace.bsky.social That was straight-up heat...delivered in the kitchen-table language Americans actually understand. This nation is starving for voices like that. And let’s be honest… it needs them more than ever.

Every writer I know, every artist I follow, is in the fucking trenches trying to survive this shit. GenAI is not the future because if it keeps going there is no future, and even if it was that would be no excuse.

Roger Ailes outright stated the purpose of Fox News was to make it so that no Republican president would ever be held accountable as Nixon was ever again.

it drives me crazy that there’s this documented strategy that’s 50 years old, worked spectacularly, and Dem leaders can’t be bothered to steal from it!

IMO the test case was Iran-Contra: when caught red-handed they doubled down, put Ollie in his USMC uniform, and claimed to be helping the good ol USA fight off the commies. It was a shameless disgrace and it worked like a charm.

the true believers around nixon genuinely saw him as some kind of embodiment of the people and thought that congressional attempts to corral his authority were illegitimate on that basis. straight line from them to the executive power fetishists on the supreme court.

Thousands of New Jerseyans are being forced to choose between buying health care for their families or putting food on their tables because of the crisis Republicans have created. Senate Republicans need to join with Democrats and lower the cost of health insurance for Americans.

The new US ‘National security strategy’ spits in the eye of every day since August 1945. Total abdication of the ‘values based world order’ for something much more chaotic, where USA seeks advantage by creating plight for others. The USA is no longer a friend or partner. It’s all gone.

Oh well so much for her. She can fuck right off. Damn shame, but women like this have caused the rest of us to suffer for too long!!🤬🤬

I honestly dont get all the b!tching about Jasmine Crockett. I get that some of it's misogynoir. But what's the rest of it? Why is it happening? Why isn't she 'allowed' to contest Cornyn?

FWIW, I think both Jasmine Crockett and James Talarico are awesome and I think either one would be a great nominee.

Hard to believe it's been 38 years since I was diagnosed with Leukemia. So thankful that chemotherapy, which is a very real thing, was available and I went into remission relatively quickly. Don't listen to idiots who question science and doctors.

I think we need a new law that presidents aren't allowed to hame things after themselves.

This nation had better get it through their heads, that there are those who don't want democracy any longer because it doesn't give them the results they want! No one is going to defend democracy! No one, but WE THE PEOPLE!

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and moral, then it’s not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power. - Dwight Eisenhower

My SSDI application was approved today. WOO HOO! In about 10 days I will get the details in the mail.

Wow -- Allred drops out of Texas Senate race, says he's running for House race in CD 33 "I’ve come to believe that a bruising Senate Democratic primary and runoff would prevent the Democratic Party from going into this critical election unified"

Oops www.propublica.org/article/trum...

a thought about trump v. slaughter. it is largely unspoken, but the assertion that there is an unlimited presidential removal power and that independent agencies functionally cannot exist is an assertion of presidential sovereignty.

In see we're getting closer and closer to witnessing the verdict in Roberts et al. v. A Mob Armed With Baseball Bats
