We’re all there

Keep working to make this so

This is part of Trump’s method of disruption, distraction, and misdirection.

He doesn’t want you to focus on anything but him.

Trump’s argument boils down to this: if Congress investigates me, that’s treason. That is not constitutional government. That is dictator logic.

Many are rightly dissatisfied with our current two-party system.

It is a paradox that voting Dem is the only solution. But for now, that is the only path toward change. /2

Well said.

Abstaining only supports the status quo, or worse, defers to those who would take power for objectionable purposes. /1

⚡ Zelenskyy on US envoys Witkoff and Kushner: "It's disrespectful [for them] to come to Moscow and not Kyiv, it's just disrespectful."

Yeah, that’s what the S.Ct said in First Lutheran, even on a temporary basis. It was a bad decision in 1987, and the Court has only compounded its mistakes since then.

Feature or bug?

Garrett M Graff continues to reveal Trump admin corruption. “There is no Donald Trump, Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen, Steve Bannon, or Trump Organization in an era where white collar crime is prosecuted with anything close to the vigor of the lowest-level drug cases in a major US city.”

We should also recognize that part of the issue is that Congress, as a legislature, has been passing less legislation and has been failing to respond to S.Ct. decisions with legislative amendments.

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

Rest is a data center

MAGA wants teen births. It won't work Teen birth rates are at historic lows — and young women want to keep it that way

Republicans are getting more brazen — in rhetoric and policy — in pushing teenage girls to give birth.

The good news is that it won't work. Girls aren't going to fall for it.

An analysis.

Sarah Longwell: We are committing superpower suicide in real time. Trump is making China Great Again. Poll: People in *every single one* of the top US-allied countries now believe it’s better to depend on China than on the US. The global balance of power is clearly tilting away from the US and toward China.

When Israel bombs synagogues

We live in a country where the two most dynamic, charismatic, eloquent politicians of this century have the first names Barack and Zohran. This is what bothers the white supremacists so much.

NASA and Mamdani are proving that Americans are desperate to see their money spent in ways they feel good about.

This, however, is not the same thing as simply spending the money on things we would feel good about but never know happened. People need to be able to see it.

Only US Votes Against Women’s Rights Document At UN Commission - Health Policy Watch President of the UN General Assembly Annalena Baerbock told the opening of CSW that the backlash against women's rights "feels as though we are forced to

For the first time in decades, consensus broke at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. The United States cast the lone “no” vote on a document aimed at improving justice systems for women and girls worldwide. Misogyny is the official policy of the US under Trump.

The remaking of the Court goes back further. Scalia was the intellectual architect for what the Court has become. Thomas has long been a reliable vote for far right arguments and, more recently, Alito. /4

Lacking in humility

Congress limited Andrew Johnson’s ability to fill judicial vacancies

I didn’t know about this. /3

The Supreme Court Lives in Fox News' America A Court that does not share a common factual world with the people it governs is untethered from democratic reality.

Another issue is the S.CT’s increasing tendency to select facts that support ideological outcomes.

The S.Ct is supposed to rule only on the law, letting the district courts determine the facts for cases. /2
