Doing one thing right every few years doesn’t absolve the Roberts court. Especially after Dobbs and immunity.

Our Pulitzer-winning "Friends of the Court" series began with this story that revealed how SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas had, for 20+ years, been treated to undisclosed luxury vacations by real estate titan and GOP megadonor Harlan Crow. (Published April 2023)

Nothing more Minnesotan than jumping in a frozen lake for a good cause. I joined Team Tessa at the Polar Plunge to benefit Special Olympics and celebrate ability, community, and inclusion for all.

Better question is, why haven't they already?

Good for the National Parent Teacher Association on this decision to split with Meta. www.cnbc.com/2026/02/20/n...

I have yet to see any evidence that this is true. There are some retention bonuses and some performance-based bonuses, but as far as I can tell the idea of a per-head bounty is an urban legend, apparently circulating even among contract detention staff. I’m open to being wrong. Hope I’m not.

I want Democrats to learn from this. How to shamelessly wield power. If they ever get elected again, use it to go against the broligarchy. Will they? Depends on who we elect and if, inshallah, there are free and fair elections. deadline.com/2026/02/trum...

I have always been realistic about the capacity of this country’s elites to rationalize Trump’s behavior and ignore its consequences, so I am not optimistic that individual justices — or the Court as an institution — will push back against his latest lies. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

"The Social Circle city manager was contacted by ICE... “They asked me to turn on the water,” he said of a 1m sq ft warehouse nearby that the government plans to use for locking up as many as 10,000 detainees. “I told them I’m not going to do it,” he said... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The average household lost more than $1,000 to Trump's tariffs. Now the Court has spoken: this was unlawful all along. The President owes you an apology - and a refund.

Taking the fight from the New Jersey AG’s Office now to private practice, Matthew Platkin has launched his own firm to continue to drive “meaningful change.” He joins me for a discussion about the need for more state AGs who will push back against the Trump Regime. youtu.be/xKB2GQVFC3M?...

The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents

By the time he’s done, I’ll bet that at least a quarter of the national debt will just be money he stole.

In all seriousness when I read this I first started to laugh and then a split-second later thought, you know, they actually may do this

I predict The State of the Union will sound like an angry drunk who just got dropped by their other half on Valentine's Day. It's going to be epically bitter and messy.

He did the meme

More insidious propaganda befitting a tin pot dictator, this time hanging from the Department of Justice. Making clear to all, there is not justice left in the department, only Trump’s personal retribution.

Even some of the SAVE America Act’s cosponsors are misguided about the bill’s identification requirements for registration, mistakenly believing a state driver’s license compliant with the 2005 REAL ID Act would be sufficient. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Example #4838491 that MAGA still doesn’t understand how tariffs work.

This degenerate spends all day making workout videos and giving speeches about Christian nationalism.

Trump: “I won affordability.” Also Trump: “If SCOTUS doesn’t let me make things more expensive I will destroy countries”

Four years of war in Ukraine: How ordinary lives were turned upside down

Trump's Friday morning so far: -- extremely disappointing 4th quarter GDP number -- inflation report hotter than expected -- Supreme Court strikes down tariffs

Neal Katyal: "In America, the chief justice said only Congress can impose taxes on the American people, and that's what tariffs are. Tariffs are taxes."

We were paying an illegal Trump Tax on pretty much everything we buy. The Trump regime made over $160 Billion dollars- of our money. Under the Constitution, only Congress is authorized to tax us- unless there is a national emergency. So Trump lied that this is “national emergency”.
