VEEP, but everyone is a right-wing bigot, and call it VANCE.

I just don't understand the rise of white nationalism in the past few years in US and Europe. It's always been there, but why has it grown so influential? We are all richer than at any time in the past. And the immigrants have brought new foods and ideas that make life even better.

Even if Trump pardons the military members responsible for the boat murders in the Caribbean, the next Democratic president can see to it that they are discharged out of the military in an other-than-honorable discharge. Losing your pension and VA benefits is not nothing.

CHICAGOSKY It KILLS me but I have two tix tonight to THEE PATTI SMITH performing the entirety of the HORSES album (!!!!!!!!!!!!!) at the Chicago Theater and I'm getting over a rotten virus, & now the friend who was going to take them now can't go, either. LMK if you wanna talk buying them...

When right-wingers say "illegal immigrant" what they really mean is "undeserving immigrant." It's not about immigration status; it's about immigrants being successful and making more money than the native-born.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Pure speculation, but I think the rush to get the Epstrin Ballroom done at the White House is because Trump is worried he will die before it's completed.

I don't understand this position. People have a right to know how the philospher kings who rule over them think about things. 5 Supreme Court Justices can re-write entire sections of the Constitution, and besides the scarecrow of impeachment, nothing can be done to stop them.

One question I would like to have answered is why Americans have such a tough time imposing accountability on their fellow Americans? When did the culture of immunity begin?

A bunch of Americans rose up, tried to form their own country and caused the death of hundreds of thousands in defense of slavery. They got a slap on the wrist and life went on. Given that history, why would anyone think there will be any punishments for actions under the current president?

Not only did America fail to defeat the Taliban, they returned home with their own Christian version of it.

I don't agree with Charlie Kirk's political ideas at all, but I am sad that he was murdered and I wish he was still alive. I feel that way about anyone whose life was needlessly shortened. After tragedy, any tragedy, we should recommit to increasing transcendental love.

Is something constitutional, and therefore, the Supreme Court orders it? Or is something constitutional because the Supreme Court ordered it?

Slightly diminish a book The Good Gatsby

Remember when the Trump 1.0 administration separated families and put kids in cages and no one investigated that after Democrats got control of the Presidency and Congress? Get ready for exactly the same thing should Democrats control either of those 2 institutions again.

If there is one musical element that has overstayed its welcome, it's the hi-hat triplet.

The 1985 AI slop nostalgia video making the rounds here wants to claim 1985 was an amazing time, but how can any time be amazing when call waiting still wasn't thing? There was nothing worse than calling someone and getting that busy signal and no way to get around it.

No reckoning for anyone in any role of authority? That's the American way since 1865.

The first Apollo moon landing happened before the first Cracker Barrel restaurant opened.

Roberts invented presidential criminal immunity out of broadcloth, and this moron has an issue with Justice Jackson's opinions. It must suck to he so spectacularly wrong and not realize it.

One thing to realize is that the conservative majority on the US Supreme Court has gone post-Constitutional. It will continue to pay lip service to the Constitution, but the words contained in it will be no guide to their future rulings, nor will the plain language of the Constitution be followed.

Rural people vote for Trump in droves. If they want to shoot themselves in the foot, that's their choice. Part of democracy is allowing people to make foolish choices that hurt themselves.

A very interesting and thought-provoking thread.

This is the line from the horrific SCOTUS decision today that will stick with me. “Sure, the president should follow the law - but the courts can’t force him to do it.” Rendering the Constitution a dead letter if the president decides he’d rather not deal with it.

"That anyone who possesses power has a tendency to abuse it is an eternal truth. They tend to go as far as the barriers will allow" -Montesquieu Words that the conservative justices ignored to the peril of our country in Trump v. US.

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full emails below

For the Army's 250th birthday, if I had been the DoD, I would have spent the year releasing patriotic videos on YouTube of the stories and sacrifices of the brave men and women who had served.

The reason that the perception that it only matters when SCOTUS weighs in is because the current reactionary court are arrogant fools who think they know better than everyone else. That's Justice Thomas whole oeuvre. Precidents matter and it destroys our legal system to overturn them will-nilly.

I'm not a sailor, but isn't it very bad luck to rename a vessel??

Musk "quit." We won't. On June 28 - Elon's birthday - we're throwing a global celebration of our progress and recommitting to the fight. And our birthday gift to the Broligarch in Chief? A global party with one powerful message: #MuskMustFall. #teslatakedown actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

There's an easy legislative remedy to a court holding like this, but Congress refuses to exercise its powers on procedural stuff like this.

Who is killing medical research in America? The "health supplement" allies of RFK, Jr. If scientists discover cures for chronic diseases, the purveyors of snake oils will lose money.

The reason "doing your own research" is doomed to fail is because it begs the question. If you start out with the assumption that doing your own research is necessary, it implies you already believe scientists and doctors can't be trusted.

This woman and people like her are white supremacists who want America to be segregated again. They want American Apartheid.

Now that the Pope has passed away, I wish there was some movie that showed what the Conclave is and what happens there. I guess it'll always be a mystery.

This is why you do it gradually, like Medicare for all kids first until they turn 18 and drastically reduce Medicaid without impacting the system too much. Then you just tweak the ages from 18 to 21 to 25 and 65 to 60 to 55. It doesn't have to be all at once.

Racist profs need to stick to their lane and not offer their uninformed opinions about history and law outside their areas of expertise. There were plenty of African slaves brought into the US illegally prior to the Civil War. All of their children became natural-born citizens.

Banality of Evil: ICE Version

They need to change the law to allow habeas petitions where the person is domiciled, not judges where they are being held.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

Billionaires can't be trusted to do what's best for the common good. Tax them through the nose. Private charity is no substitute for the democratic process of allocating the nation's wealth to programs that benefit us all.
