“The Reflecting Pools in Washington, D.C. were designed for one purpose: reflection. They are supposed to mirror the beauty, dignity, and symbolism of the monuments around them. They were never intended to look like a chlorinated Olympic swimming pool where you can count pennies on the bottom.”

NEW: NAACP on Supreme Court allowing Alabama to redraw map to dilute power of Black voters "We are witnessing a return to Jim Crow. Anybody who is alarmed by these developments—as everybody should be—better be making a plan to vote in November to put an end to this madness"

Two years ago, ABC kicked off corporate media’s capitulation to Trump by settling a defamation lawsuit with him. Now, they’re fighting back against Trump’s FCC, accusing the agency of violating their free speech rights. Kudos to ABC for taking a stand. More media companies should follow suit.

Tiedrich's got it right... It's so sad and frustrating to see what Tee's doing to DC; and maddening that it's obviously a gigantic grift as well (imho). www.google.com/url?sa=i&sou...

Anything to put the G0P in power everywhere - permanently. Project 2025 is more than half done.

Residents in Fayette County, Georgia noticed their water pressure was unusually low. Turns out that a data center 20 miles away had been drawing 30 million gallons of water in secret through connections the county didn't know existed. Is it any wonder why so many are opposed to data centers?

Why America Can Never Allow The Absurd 'Religious Liberty Commission' Objectives To Be Realized

"The politics they're trying clumsily to recreate comes not from the founding fathers in the 1770s, but from the era of our grandfathers and great-grandfathers in the 1950s."

For years, this Supreme Court majority claimed to stand for “judicial restraint.” Instead, we have watched them act as attack dogs for Trump and the GOP on presidential immunity, voting rights, and much more. All while operating at unprecedented levels of corruption and intellectual dishonesty.

This has been true of the [unnecessary] war and everything else Tee has championed, recently also the ballroom/bunker project. So, large amounts of money being funneled clandestinely to...

Remember when Tee thought it was a great idea to use poisonous disinfectants and UV light inside the body, during COVID? If he has any idea of the proven dangers of R0undup, he'd go ahead and recommend it if the kickback was good enough.

The national debt just crossed a once-unthinkable threshold: It now exceeds 100% of America’s GDP. But there's an important piece missing from the conversation about the debt that you should know about. Let me explain... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-no-one-will-tell-you-about-the

🔥 HAYES: “You get the pattern here, right? One after another… so there’s no Black members of Congress left in the states of the old Confederacy. They want a New Jim Crow, now they have a blessing from the Supreme Court.” #Tennessee #Memphis @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn

“The court has essentially blessed partisan gerrymandering, even when the other side is people of color facing vote dilution and limits in their ability to be represented,” says Kareem Crayton, a longtime civil rights litigator.

From tuition-free UCs and CSUs to free childcare to bringing down the cost of groceries, I know what moms need from their next Governor—because I need them, too. That's what I'll deliver as Governor.

Unless they also installed a filtration system and plan on adding chemicals to balance the water once a week, this is going to look like a green swamp in less than two months. Our tax dollars at work.
