A U.S. Supreme Court ruling issued Monday will end 90 years of court precedent that limits the president's power over independent agencies.

As SCOTUS rulings continue to roll in, let's not forget the man responsible for the mess we're in.

Trump policies mean that the US is ceding the field in clean energy to China, while doubling down on the dirtiest, most dangerous fossil fuels.

If they followed the Constitution it wouldn't even be needed.

June 28, 1926: Mel Brooks, the writer-director-star who elevated tastelessness into high comedy art, from dancing Nazis in "The Producers" to farting cowboys in "Blazing Saddles," is born (as Melvin Kaminsky) in Brooklyn. The winner of a career EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) turns 100 today.

Meanwhile, in the US. It just takes your breath away. *50 years* in prison for protesting. Don't imagine for one moment that we are immune to this. Already, the legislative framework is in place in the UK to enable such convictions - before we get a Trumplike PM. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Congress is considering a bill that would stifle free speech online and leave all of us vulnerable to online surveillance. Tell your representative: Censorship doesn’t keep us safe.

Five years ago, I signed a piece of legislation into law making California the FIRST state in the nation to guarantee free school meals for ALL public school students. Today, nearly 3.5 billion school meals have been served, creating healthier, more resilient families and kids.

These 5 lawmakers, all Republicans, voted AGAINST making housing more affordable for Americans. Vote FOR your own best interests. Vote Them Out! #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #BlueskyResistance

The BBC has requested that Donald Trump hand over his phone records from Jan. 6 as part of his defamation lawsuit against the broadcaster.

In 2018, a famous lawyer won a $289M verdict for a man who got cancer after using Monsanto's glyphosate weedkiller for years. Today, that same lawyer works for Trump, who signed an EO expanding glyphosate production and whose DOJ defended Monsanto in court. His name? RFK Jr.

Communism has never been popular in the United States, and the only politician calling for state takeover of private industries is Trump, under whom the government has taken stakes in at least nine companies involved in steel, minerals, nuclear energy, and semiconductors, costing at least $10 bil
