I believe the constitutional crisis has been ongoing since 2016—we were simply too blind, or too reluctant, to call it what it is.

He's worse than Roger Taney now. He's the worst Chief Justice in history, I'd say.

Pritzker: The decision by the Supreme Court today on the Voting Rights Act is an abomination. It is an attack on a crown jewel of our democracy. Illinois is the proud home to having sent more black congresspeople to Washington than any other state in the country. We're not going to stand for it.

Comey: Well, they're back. This time about a picture of seashells on a North Carolina beach a year ago. And this won't be the end of it. But nothing has changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary. So let's go.

A source tells CNN's Brian Stelter that the FCC is preparing to "call in all of the TV station licenses for Disney/ABC for early renewal." That's an apparent pressure tactic as the Trump regime demands Jimmy Kimmel's firing. The fascists want to decide what TV shows you're allowed to watch.

Real... You can't make this Sh*t Up..🤡

Eric Trump reportedly bragging on live TV about a $24M Pentagon-linked contract is exactly why people are asking serious questions about how influence works in Washington.

Israel has killed over 38,000 women and girls in Gaza, according to the U.N. Another reminder the war on Gaza is about collective punishment not self defense.

As Trump's war on Iran continues, reminder that his own son-in-law Jared Kushner — who is leading negotiations with Iran — stands to profit from lucrative contracts with its regional rivals. War gives dictators like Trump (and his family) more power and more wealth.

Well, at least the BBC is covering this.

Dear CNN, we do separate religion from our government. And as a major outlet, your job is to remind everyone exactly on that.

Excited to attend the ribbon-cutting for the next segment of California’s solar canal initiative later this month in Hickman. Imagine generating solar power over 4,000 miles or so canals across the state. A lot of Sierra and Colorado River water to save via avoided evaporation.

David Ellison will host an exclusive dinner “honoring” Trump next week. It comes as he’s waiting for regulatory approval of Paramount’s proposal to buy Warner Bros., which would create a massive pro-Trump media monopoly. What is he going to promise Trump at this dinner? Hello???

Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United. Harlan Crow's political contributions then went up 862%. Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit. But go on about how "progressivism" is a problem...

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
