St. Louis’s police board has sued the city for $68 million, claiming the city budget doesn’t allocate enough to police. This follows from the the GOP-led state seizing control over the STL police department last year to curb local reform efforts & mandate a quarter of the budget go to cops

Former Vice President Mike Pence says people who assaulted police officers on Jan. 6 should not receive taxpayer compensation under President Trump's IRS settlement.

(RNS) — Chambers gained national notoriety for promoting the idea that therapy could change someone’s sexual orientation. He later apologized and announced in 2013 that the ex-gay ministry, supported by religious right leaders like James Dobson, would disband.

The decisions made by state supreme courts touch every part of our lives. And that’s especially important when voting rights and basic freedoms are being challenged. Today voters in Georgia can stand up for fairness and integrity by electing Miracle Rankin and Jen Jordan to Georgia’s Supreme Court.

Yesterday, a new generation of civil rights activists marched from Selma to Montgomery to fight for voting rights. As states across the country try to make it harder for citizens to be heard, we need to learn the lessons of those who came before us and refuse to take our democracy for granted.

Hawaii just enacted a law that effectively neuters Citizens United. Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum. Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live.

We’re going back to Selma and Montgomery. Why? The Supreme Court destroyed the Voting Rights Act, and the country needs to be reminded who we were before Civil Rights - and why we can’t go back.

#politics #vote I'm going to say it again, because it seems we all have very short memories. Polling. Doesn't. Mean. Shit. We've been let down repeatedly. Voter turnout is what matters. Stop watching polling. Start planning to get your ass to the actual polling places. We only win by showing up.

The speed in which NYC Mayor Mandami accomplished this is extremely telling. It can be done!! Vote!

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Yep, nothing like admitting you’re a criminal.

The first honest thing he’s said

Survivor of Jeffrey Epstein breaks down in tears describing the moment she learned her name was revealed while the rich and powerful remained protected by redactions Roza: I kept my identity protected as Jane Doe. I woke up one day with my name mentioned over 500 times.

Scott MacFarlane on the FBI raid of Sen. Lucas’s home and office: There are going to be questions raised about how Fox News was there as the raid was undertaken. That type of thing is rare.…

Scam as usual

Don't forget: my old Yale Law classmate Clarence Thomas refused to recuse from Jan. 6 cases despite his wife's involvement in the plot. And he's taken at least 100 gifts worth over $2 million while serving, including from GOP donor Harlan Crow. He's a disgrace to the Court.

The golden age of corruption.

For his entire life, every word out of his mouth has been a lie. And the media stopped caring a long time ago that he lies as he breathes. Hopefully one day soon the American people will say they’re tired of being lied to every single day.

The Trump regime keeps citing things that require an ID that do not, in fact, require an ID. They’re elitists who are out of touch with the lives of everyday Americans.

The REAL Trump Derangement Syndrome is Republican politicians, influencers and voters deranged enough to swallow ANYTHING from a felon convicted of financial fraud and sexual abuse who is the most documented liar in recorded history. @walshfreedom.bsky.social

🧵This is an important issue and Democrats need to follow it NOW because it is moving at breakneck speed: AI taking jobs. 79 percent of voters are worried about the “government not having a plan to protect workers,” and 72 percent are concerned that A.I. “drives down wages for people like you.”"
