One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that tells us we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over us all.

Neal Katyal: "This decision wasn't just written by some group of lefty justices, to the extent there even are any. It was enjoined by 6 justices, including 2 justices appointed by Donald Trump himself -- Gorsuch and Barrett. Both of them saying in full that these tariffs were unconstitutional."

NEW: Natasha Korecki at NBC reports that in light of the SCOTUS tariff ruling, Gov. Pritzker sent President Donald Trump an invoice of $8.6 billion.

This was a 6–3 decision. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion, joined by Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, Gorsuch, Barrett, and Jackson. Justice Kavanaugh dissented, joined by Justices Thomas and Alito.

BREAKING: SCOTUS holds in a 6-3 decision that Trump's tariffs imposed pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) are not authorized as he exceeded his authority.

Special for my friends in the media! Before you use numbers from a new DHS “economic impact analysis” in reporting on a new Trump prison camp, please consider that these reports appear to be (to use a technical term) horseshit. Helpful explanation here: projectsaltbox.substack.com/p/federal-ec...

If your nation harms the very people Jesus called us to serve, namely the poor, the hungry, the sick, the immigrant, the disenfranchised, the marginalized, and oppressed, all while calling your nation “Christian,” you are embodying the exact kind of religious hypocrisy Jesus raged against.

According to The New York Times, Donald's building monuments to himself makes him "an inescapable force." No. It simply reminds the world what a pathetic, insecure loser we put in power. And it's humiliating.

Dear Congress, We cannot let Trump defund, debase, and destroy our science. Your job security depends on how you meet this moment. Will you stand up and fight back? Sincerely, Americans.

If our Christianity causes the abused to be ignored, the stranger to be unwelcome, kids to go hungry, the sick to go without healthcare, and our planet to be disregarded all while billionaires get richer, we've profoundly misunderstood the most basic elements of Jesus' teachings.

The wood stork will soon no longer be on the federal endangered species list. Some environmentalists say that's a bad thing.

Are you one of nearly 70 million American women who changed their names when they got married? 🙋‍♀️ Republicans in Congress want to make it harder for you to vote. Tell your senator to oppose the SAVE Act. indivisible.org/actions/stop...

🚨BREAKING: An election-denying former Donald Trump campaign staffer who was subpoenaed by the FBI over his role in the attempt to steal the 2020 election is now taking credit for writing the sweeping voter suppression bill passed by the House Wednesday that could disenfranchise millions.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

HAHAHA

"While Americans should welcome Trump’s rapidly increasing unpopularity and must do everything they can to constrain him, realism requires a recognition that he's all but certain to do everything possible to cling to power — even if he brings the country down with him." — @davidrlurie.com

Democrats, do not be fooled. If you cave and approve DHS funding, they’ll be back and worse than last time. Republicans keep showing you their hand, stop shaking it.

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

We now have confirmation that the Social Circle warehouse cost ICE $130 million, bringing the total spent on warehouses to $714 million. ICE is also reportedly planning on buying a second warehouse in Oakwood, GA and is finalizing the sale now. Billions more will be spent on retrofitting/staffing.

Honored to earn the endorsement of Indivisible National for GA-13. After support from local Indivisible groups, this means so much. Indivisible has been an invaluable organizing partner—and I’m proud to be 1 of just 3 campaigns nationwide to receive this endorsement.

If our beliefs about the gospel of Jesus as Christians are somehow threatened by diversity, inclusion, equality, and the empowerment of others, we have deeply misunderstood the gospel of Jesus.

We are so excited and are ready to get to work!

Good. Hiding the names of people asking for 10 year old girls is fucking disgusting.
