NEW: I've filed a claim with Todd Blanche for compensation from the $1.776B slush fund for the unlawful investigation by the government into my podcast in August 2019. I'm seeking $8.647 million in compensation for weaponized lawfare - the equivalent of punitive damages, lost pay and retirement.

Right-wing SCOTUS Justice Samuel Alito is massively corrupt. newrepublic.substack.com/p/samuel-ali...

Science and sanity dearly needed this win

Both Obama & Biden met with Putin & Xi & never groveled or billowed cloying flattery, like Trump does, yet MAGA claims Trump is the mightiest president EVER! Heck, we can believe them or our own eyes.

First thing I do after every move is join the library.

HAHAHAHAAHAA! Not only did Trump send in a rerun video of himself reading a Bible passage, he also went golfing while his "flock" spent nine hours at the Rededicate 250 Religious Hypocrisy Jubilee in DC. What absolute rubes. My goodness.

Nearly 800,000 Louisianians voted yesterday and won, rejecting all five state constitutional amendments put forward by Gov. Jeff Landry...

This is why it's important to take a little time to play, joke, make art, touch grass every day. Not a sprint a marathon; let's all be tough tortoises <3

Justice Samuel Alito has fossil fuel stocks making up nearly a quarter of his personal investment portfolio. And he just voted to put a major climate accountability case on the Supreme Court’s docket after recusing himself from virtually identical cases for the exact same reason.

In addition to being an accomplished writer, he served for 20 years in the Coast Guard, was highly decorated, and has a USCG cutter named after him. This man was a patriot and historian. These schools do their students a disservice by denying them his wisdom.

So we've established that Linda McMahon doesn't believe teachers are professionals, but wrestlers are.

Good riddance.

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

Major breaking news tonight. NYU Langone has received a federal criminal subpoena over its provision of trans youth care. The subpoena originates from a grand jury empaneled in the Northern District of Texas. It's a massive escalation in attacks on trans poviders. Read our breaking story:

First, Trump’s district is repped by a Democrat, and now JK Rowling is repped by a trans person? Fabulous!! 💙💕🎊🏳️‍⚧️

The U.S. has spent billions to lose a war that enriches its oligarchs, impoverishes the citizenry, sabotages its alliances, and strengthens its enemies. Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power. snyder.substack.com/p/on-superpo...

“we have to fight back by voting” when we just VOTED and had that taken from us is INSANE
