Four of nine Supreme Court justices are willing to rewrite the Constitution by fiat.

Heinrich Himmler: "If we lose the war, the Allies will turn every committee of the occupation into an investigative body. They will go after the Reich leadership, the cabinet, the donors, and friends."

US is stunned when Supreme Court issues a decision that accords with the Constitution 😜

He wants Congress to pass the voter ID law that will guarantee that voters cannot turn Republicans out of office, making the United States a one-party state in which Congress simply rubber-stamps the actions of the president. It appears he is willing to hold the housing bill hostage until he gets it

You know what’s a greater threat to our country? Having a president so stupid he doesn’t understand the differences between socialism, communism, and fascism.

The Supreme Court is about to hand down its final opinions of the term. Some of the most important decisions are still ahead. Here’s a preview of the cases that remain—and what I’ll be watching for as well as what else you need to be aware of this week. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

“Our state is being taken over by a new kind of tyrant: billionaire megadonors. They’re not invading with an army. They’re just buying the system. The billionaires who own the social media algorithms, who own the cable news networks, who own the politicians fighting on our screens,…”

KARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.

He has no integrity… and he gets away with it 😡.

A cognitively dissolving narcissist fuckface who can't spell the name of the reporter he's terrified of just confirmed, in unhinged all-caps, that the tapes exist and he knows exactly what's on them.

Why would a book, especially one allegedly filled with stuff that's not true, merit a White House presidential briefing? Because it's all true, of course. All of it. And they know it, hence the panic. Every accusation is an admission.

Administration officials and their cronies are turning the country we worked so hard to build into a vehicle for building their own power and their own wealth, and Republicans in Congress have steadfastly refused to stop the looting or even to investigate.

turmoil in Washington, D.C., reflects the changing world of politics as the Republicans become a far-right party that embraces white nationalism while those Americans standing firm on the nation’s historic democratic principles jockey to create a political system that will represent their movement

I don’t know why every English Department AND library hasn’t adopted this line from “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins” as their motto “Books are brain movies!”

Trump’s Pentagon wants $80 billion to cover the cost of his illegal war on Iran. That money could… -Extend ACA subsidies for 2.5 years -Cover SNAP benefits for 35 million people -Cover Medicaid for 23 million children It’s not about what we can afford. It’s about our priorities.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

Ossoff: I don’t think many people are tuning in because he’s lost it. But more importantly, what we’re seeing is how destabilized he is by his global humiliation in the Middle East, which he cannot deny or lie away. He has cemented his place in history in disgrace.

“in less than an hour we went from the signing of a historic housing bill to stop private equity from buying houses, and investing in housing infrastructure, and actually doing something good for the people of this country, and a ceremony……right here to…the president is not signing the bill.”

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

101 former judges have asked New York disciplinary authorities to investigate Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, alleging ethics violations tied to his conduct at DOJ. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

This is beyond insane. More kids having kids and then starving them. What teenager is financially stable enough to raise a child with no help? #USDemocracy

5. This would effectively reduce patient enrollment to test the safety of cutting edge treatments. With clinical trials, people's lives are on the line. Science cannot move forward with such uncertainty. We need to take action as this affects ALL OF US. *END actionnetwork.org/letters/oppo...

Our guardsmen continue to be used for purposes that are beneath them! They did not sign up for this! #Pinks

He doesn't want to 'blame' contractors because that would: - require INVESTIGATION - then an AUDIT -then the true cost of this NO-BID CONTRACT - then that would reveal a KICKBACK to him

Today, U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor sentenced eight of the Prairieland protesters to between thirty and one hundred years in prison. In contrast, well, January 6ers….

I haven't been this impressed with a candidate in a l-o-n-g time. If @jamestalarico.bsky.social is the future of the Democratic Party, we are in VERY good shape.

Sealant Team Six guarding our vulnerable shores against Algae-Qeada, Algaetifa. And Algae Sharpton.

Today, those voices are, once again, gaining traction. One hundred and sixty-one years after Juneteenth was established, we are in danger of losing the new nation that it celebrated—one that would honor the equality of all Americans.

Tribute at the #WorldCup to the 168 innocent girls MURDERED by US forces under the command of #TrumpThePaedo.

To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.

“[W]e want you to come here and put away your phones and talk and laugh and cry…and make new friends. Because that’s the work of democracy too. Being neighborly…Shaking out of the isolation and division that have crept too deeply into our lives.”

Political cartoonists are better than mainstream media

Really need people to stop saying that the Minnesota 15 are going to be fine, that their charges will be dropped like ours. That was four days before trial, was NOT supposed to happen, and only did because of persistent, diligent, and incredible work by our lawyers.

"Why do innocent people flee the police?" Idk, maybe the fact that they kill newborn babies and puppies might have something to do with it. Just saying.

Trump’s war on Iran has cost the U.S. the lives of thirteen service members, injuries to 400 more, and at least $132 billion so far in immediate costs, lost income, and higher consumer costs, only to leave the U.S. in a significantly worse place with regard to Iran than before Trump started bombing.

here's today's post: "narcoleptic fuckwit shits the bed at the G7" — another day full of embarrassments. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

“internal cost estimates have been significantly higher than administration officials have acknowledged in public comments or court filings. They also show that the work was projected to rely heavily on taxpayer dollars from the moment it was announced.”

“The war leaves Iran battered, but more powerful and with more cash at its disposal, while it leaves America weaker, with important stocks of weapons depleted, and with its consumers paying the price for the war at the gas pump.”

Aaaaaaand there it is…

Sharing this poem again because I think the world needs these words now more than ever.

Yeah he sure does spew a whole lotta nasty, hateful, disgusting crap each and every day. 🙄🤮🤬 Artist: Mike Luckovich, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Sunday, June 14th is #ObamaAppreciationDay

Convicted Felon Donald Trump's trashy UFC cage match on Sunday won't be covered by any members of the press that aren't credentialed by...the UFC. More than $60 million + of taxpayer money has been spent so far. Paramount Skydance owners Larry & David Ellison,will charge people to stream it. #Pinks

Come on mother nature!
