Remember when Theranos (Elizabeth Holmes's company) was valued as high as $10.5 billion? Yeah. Good times. This was a time when "fake it till you make it" wasn't going to work. That's the ride we're on now.

need to start thinking now about a full package of judicial reforms: new justices, new circuits, new district courts, ethics reforms, docket reforms, and transparency reforms.

Republicans know for a FACT that they will lose free and fair elections. Which is why they have been working for DECADES to ensure they're neither free nor fair.

I get that TX is a very voter-suppressed state—like most Southern states—but good lord! Paxton SHOULDN'T even be able to run for pool monitor.

YES! And where remote work is possible, it should be the norm and the standard. We're back in the office now because of the vested interests of the oligarchs.

Trump admits he and his real estate buddies (who have become wealthy buying, owning, building, and selling real estate) don't like the Housing bill he's refusing to sign.

Translation: Trump has requested a meeting with Iran and is waiting with bated breath for their response.

The government has made stock manipulation legal, which is one reason we have so many billionaires. And those tax "loopholes" are deliberate.

To answer the long running question, how does one bankrupt a casino? You steal from it. And that’s how he’s run all his businesses… and then filed for bankruptcy. It’s also how the mob does business, and private equity firms.

People who can barely afford food or rent are stuck paying a trillionaires bills. Fuck that.

The extremist Supreme Court supermajority that gave Trump near-total immunity now has given him free rein to get rid of leaders of regulatory agencies not loyal to him & his wishes. Forget self-governance. These partisan hacks want a king. This must stop. It begins with defeating the GOP on 11/3.

Silas Shelton had objected to Heartstopper at a school book fair, saying LGBTQ+ books posed a “mental health” risk to children. www.advocate.com/news/crime/h...

I’m not going to hail Barrett and Roberts for allowing us to count our votes. It’s a huge win for democracy, but it shouldn’t have even been a question. That we were one vote away from disenfranchising votes is all the more reason to expand the court in 2029.

The Supreme Court must be reformed or dismantled at this point. It's a rogue body filled with 6 right wing extremists who want to replace democracy with a white Christian King. If a politician doesn't support Court reform then they arent the leaders for this moment. Step aside.

The Corrupt GOP Supreme Court is also doing its best to protect its own power—which means helping its benefactors and overlords.

If you can, VOTE EARLY AND IN-PERSON!

The 2016 election was the most consequential election in my lifetime because it gave us THIS Supreme Court. They are acting as if they are above the law, and apparently they are.

The Supreme Court just threw the country a bone while the bigger picture is to dismantle what matters the most. Restrict voting rights, allow racial, and partisan gerrymandering, and while the USPS says they won’t deliver ballots to states refusing to handover voter data, they allow this.

Democrats argued that punishing someone with disenfranchisement for forgetting a date or writing the wrong one on an outer envelope is disproportionate to the error, and serves no purpose in ensuring the voter is legitimate. Multiple lower courts agreed.

Do you know why Netanyahu hated and openly disrespected former President Obama? ... Yeah, you do.

Him not signing the Housing Act had nothing to do with the SAVE Act. As he practically admitted.

He will always confess to his failures and debilitating insecurities. And this is exactly how you know what they are.

In the history of this country, I know things have been worse. But the government hasn't been THIS BLATANTLY corrupt and bigoted in DECADES. HOWEVER, for former GOP Insiders to act shocked and surprised that their Party (& this Supreme Court) IS indeed the bigoted Party is disingenuous. They knew.

After the 2020 election, the idea that Trump would leave it in someone else’s hands—someone who he doesn’t have absolute control over—to “find him votes“ is funny. He wasn’t gonna leave that to chance. Ask his buddy Musk.

So what I understand from this statement and is that he DID NOT win all of the swing states.

Now let’s do this everywhere.

I can't believe President Fucknugget still even invites this comparison.

They were both around the same age in these pictures.

You *have* to support this if you’re a reasonable moderate according to Van Jones

Texas is a warning.

Claiming to be a Christian doesn't make your racism, sexism, and bigotry acceptable or you any less morally bankrupt. Also, growing up, I was told that "God don't like ugly."

Whites only signs!? Has anyone heard or seen anything about this? youtube.com/shorts/zjCme...

‼️ Kansas voters could soon be denied a say in who represents them in D.C. A 2025 GOP-backed law changed how Kansas fills U.S. Senate vacancies – and if Sen. Roger Marshall’s seat opens up before Election Day, Republicans could leave voters waiting until 2028 to choose a replacement. Here’s how:

NEW: A spokesperson for U.S. Health and Human Services confirmed to Stateline on Friday that the agency is canceling 53 out of 67 grants, worth about $68 million, under the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program, affecting grantees in more than two dozen states.

Fencing, you say?

Worst year for measles since the 90s outbreak. In the next few weeks the year-to-date total will surpass last year's total cases.

My drawer slides were just delivered. OML, they are HEAVY!!! The cabinets will weigh a ton!

Clarence Thomas used to work at Monsanto. He was an in-house lawyer for 3 years. Yesterday, he and his fellow corrupt "jurists" ruled that a cancer patient couldn't sue Monsanto for failing to warn of Roundup's dangers.

Jared and Ivanka's vision includes up to 10,000 “units of villas,” priced far beyond what most Albanians can afford, to be built in an area where many locals lack access to 24-7 running water.

It’s us!!!! WE have the tinpot dictator, who comes with tinpot dictator decor, and taste. It’s US.

It’s taxpayer dollars that Trump is getting when his donors give him money. The contracts that he grants them more than covers how much they donated, which is the only reason they donate. IT’S OUR MONEY THEY ARE DONATING!!!

Slavery in the United States effectively ended in 1865 EXCEPT as punishment for a crime. Imprisonment of formerly enslaved Black people skyrocketed then. For crimes like loitering or being unemployed. The United States never got rid of slavery.

Corporate Media: On a daily basis we never call Trump a rapist, a bigot, a felon, we credulously repeat everything he says as if he’s not a pathological liar, but when Maggie Haberman & Jonathan Swan publish a book, we’re like, “Whoo boy, incredible revelations! Who knew the President was this bad?”

A new analysis found that the mortality rate for people in ICE custody has skyrocketed during Trump’s second-term mass-deportation campaign. Far more people are now in ICE detention than in prior administrations, and a far greater percentage of those detainees are dying.
