🤮 this is SO sickening and should be against the law . No matter, SCOTUS Gave him (47) a free pass for illegal actions he takes while President. What did SCOTUS get for this “arrangement”?

Wow. The power of the press exposes the hypocrisy and political nature of the Roberts SCOTUS. Great necessary reporting The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

Robert's “Shadow Docket" begs the question. How long can a democratic Republic with a Constitution, rule of Law and Bill of Right survive if it's highest court, SCOTUS, is politically compromised and blatantly corrupt? This all stems from The Heritage Foundation/Federalist Society/Citizens United.

Phenomenal reporting on the origins of the Shadow Docket - spoiler alert - this awful development came from Chief Justice Roberts showing his alignment as an overt operative of the GOP and tool of corporations - especially coal, oil and other industries destroying our global climate.

This is a momentous story in a lot of ways. One incredible little detail: the Roberts clerk and the Alito clerk who wrote the key memos creating the shadow docket, Joseph Benjamin Tyson III and Barbara S. Grieco, ended up getting married two years later.

“In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, … he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis.”

There’s Trump-style corruption, which is all bullshit, bluster, bags of cash, and him daring you to stop him. And then there’s corruption of the John Roberts kind. It’s just as deliberate and destructive, but quieter, more genteel, like a cancer that grows in your bones rather than on your face.

1/The NYT is releasing internal SCOTUS documents re: 2016 creation of the modern “Shadow Docket” noting Justice Roberts & “other conservative justices have repeatedly empowered [Trump] through their shadow docket rulings. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

Waking up to discover that evidence has been released proving something we all knew. The Supreme Court's efforts to stop the Obama clean power plant rules were rooted in explicit, corrupt efforts to protect the fossil fuel industry.

Ex NYC Mayor @BilldeBlasio on @NYCMayor @ZohranKMamdani’s tax on rich people’s 2nd $5M+ NYC homes: “Absolutely it will help the working class. It’s a breath of fresh air.”

As an American. I make the decision to buy a gun and go shoot somebody. I get convicted and go to jail. An a health Insurance exec. I make the decision to deny care and kill someone. I get a bonus.

The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room. The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction. The Health guy collects raccoon dicks. It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.

“They’ll never close the Strait again” lasted a solid 10 hours. Masterful negotiation (read: market manipulation) from Trump

Great Question, Winona.......

A Federal government that settles with a sitting President for a monetary fund, should be an automatic impeachable offense!

As a reminder, anything he says is likely to be a lie. Tragically, the Iranian government statements regarding the blockade are much more likely to be accurate. A terrible state for America to be in with an illegal unnecessary Trumpian war raging.

Wow. This is the FBI Director. Several officials say Kash Patel’s drinking has been a recurring concern across the government. At the FBI, it’s called reasonable suspicion. That’s enough to trigger testing or administrative action. So what are we waiting for? 🧵

I thought Trump said the war was over, we won, the strait was open, and they were giving up their uranium? What happened with all that?

The worst possible tactic you can use when negotiating a deal with a regime like Iran is to dunk on them in public during negotiations. Any knowledgeable seasoned diplomat knows this. But we have Mr. Art of the Deal who needs to feed his cult and the markets a steady diet of BS.

This is crazy. Just open-air larceny.

A budget is a declaration of priorities. Trump has made clear that you and your family aren't one of his.

If they settle, I think it's an impeachable offense for both him and the AG.

If you weren't thinking this all along, I question your judgement.

Right out in the open, Donald Trump is suing his own IRS to try to steal $10 BILLION taxpayer dollars. I just introduced a bill that would make this theft ILLEGAL.

a visibly unwell Rep. Paul Gosar: "We've got a president who reminds me of Atlas. He carries this country on his back."

This is a well-documented pattern in medical research and reflects systemic gender bias in pain assessment and treatment.👇

BREAKING: We’re taking the government to court over Palantir. The government is refusing to hand over important briefings given to Wes Streeting about the £330m NHS data contract with Peter Thiel’s surveillance firm So we’re taking legal action. democracyforsale.substack.com/p/breaking-w...

This man is gaining support in the polls, and it's been built from the ground up, with everyone collaborating on social media to rally support for @xavierbecerra.bsky.social. Let’s keep it going.

WATCH: “They preach freedom of speech and non-censorship, but this was my experience.” The Georgia student who asked JD Vance about Epstein describes how hard they tried to screen his question and hand-pick the questioners.

If you are worried that China is beating us, then take a look at this. China is investing heavily in renewable energy. The USA is fighting all forms of green energy. Reducing dependence on fossil fuels, and diversifying our energy sources could help us get ahead. It could prevent wars over oil.

BREAKING: The DOJ racked up its fifth loss in its sweeping legal campaign seeking access to state voter data. A Trump-appointed judge dismissed its case against Rhode Island, calling it a “fishing expedition.”

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

"Christ-splaining to the [checks notes] pope"

This is infuriating.

Two years ago, we devoted an entire issue to the rise of a new American oligarchy. Since then, this system has only become more entrenched, ever concentrated around a crew of tech titans going all in on AI. Our newest cover story investigates these new AI overlords and their consolidation of power.

Ultimately the ONLY solution to get rid of the "Citizens United" ruling, tighten up the rules surrounding PACs and really come down hard against lobbying. Basically get rid of dark money out of US politics,,which is currently amongst the most corrupt in the world.

I'm all in favour of progressive Democrats winning elections, however corporate Democrats can go and fuck themselves. Far too many corporate Democrats in Congress have been bought off by evil organisations like AIPAC for example youtu.be/i6zxnDV0DEY?...

Rep Sanchez: You're spending taxpayer dollars to drink milk shirtless in a hot tub with Kid Rock and, somehow, you think that's a better public health message than informing the public about the importance of vaccines.

Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United. Harlan Crow's political contributions then went up 862%. Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit. But go on about how "progressivism" is a problem...

A traitor to both his party and his country.

Todd Lyons is leaving ICE in June to spend more time screaming at migrant landscapers from his home. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Epstein talks like a moron, can’t spell at all, yet was considered a financial wizard Come to find out he didn’t make money on stocks he was given his money and residence by Wexner, for pimp services

And now Israel has the world premiere identify-hunt-kill software/drones “Lavender and Where’s Daddy”. It created 37,000 targets in Gaza rated them from 1-100 as possible Hamas terrorist, followed them home and bombed them with their families and friends. Humans rubber stamped kills in 20 seconds.

Wow. Dots are finally being connected.

Epstein on tape advising former Israeli PM Barak to approach Palantir founder Peter Thiel. And there you have it 😲🤬🤬🤬
