ZOHRAN MAMDANI: "It is sad that for too many Americans when they want to look for ambition in the Democratic Party, they have to turn to a history book."

Inside the Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court Secret memos obtained by The New York Times illuminate the origins of the court’s now-routine “shadow docket” rulings on presidential power.

For the past decade, the Supreme Court has relied on a rushed and secretive system to make major rulings. A New York Times investigation brings to light the precise moment when that system began.

Death of Haitian immigrant still an unsettling mystery seven weeks later Haitian immigrant Daphy Michel was found in a Pittsburgh bus shelter on March 2. Federal immigration authorities denied blame, but the death has stoked fear.

Daphy Michel saw the misdemeanor charges against her dismissed, and normally would have gone home after six months in jail. Instead ICE briefly took custody. Her death days later continues to chill the Haitian community www.publicsource.org/death-haitia...

Democrat in key race defended guns after mass shooting and insulted Kaepernick Bob Brooks, a firefighter who appeals to the White working class, engaged with right-wing content. His endorsers in the Pennsylvania House race stand by him.

This is what the snipe hunt for the mythical centrist gets us:

Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"

It is very weird that we never hear about this. We don't hear about the case, we don't hear about the incident, we don't hear about the Secret Service and any analysis they did on mistakes made. And the weirdest part of all is that Trump never talks about it. Ever. Why isn't Trump milking it?

They didn't just pardon them.
They're erasing the convictions entirely.
Not...you're guilty but forgiven.
But...the guilty verdicts never should have happened.
There's a difference.
And it matters enormously for what comes next.

Usually economic shocks are called things like pandemics or oil embargoes. This version is more: bloke walks into the policy room, sees a rake, and steps on it repeatedly.

Alphabet, Meta, and Amazon all have headquarters in Seattle. This year the Seattle School District has an 80 million dollar shortfall.

The convicted felon in the White House is promising to pardon his own staff for their actions while in office.

Trump promotes Palantir

Trump is openly promoting Palantir - a defense contractor with rightwing leadership - ticker symbol and all. Palantir is also supplying tech for the Trump regime’s anti-immigrant infrastructure.

When people compare ICE facilities to concentration camps, now you understand why

It makes me feel nauseated to agree w/ Tucker Carlson, but I agree w/ Tucker Carlson.

He still needs to be removed from office. A war powers resolution will not suffice. He circumvented Congress to start the war. He circumvented them on tariffs and appropriations. Why anyone thinks he'd adhere to a Congressional war powers resolution is beyond me.

100% accurate.

I'm not crying, you're crying.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation sues me for a Ballroom that is under budget, ahead of schedule, being built at no cost to the Taxpayer, and will be the finest Building of its kind anywhere in the World. I then get sued by them over the renovation of the dilapidated and structurally unsound former Kennedy Center, now, The Trump Kennedy Center (A show of Bipartisan Unity, a Republican and Democrat President!), where all I am doing is fixing, cleaning, running, and “sprucing up” a terribly maintained, for many years, Building, but a Building of potentially great importance. Yet, The National Trust for Historic Preservation, a Radical Left Group of Lunatics whose funding was stopped by Congress in 2005, is not suing the Federal Reserve for a Building which has been decimated and destroyed, inside and out, by an incompetent and possibly corrupt Fed Chairman. The once magnificent Building is BILLIONS over budget, may never be completed, and may never open. All of the beautiful walls inside have been ripped down, never to be built again, but the National “Trust” for Historic Preservation never did anything about it! Or, have they sued on Governor Gavin Newscum’s “RAILROAD TO NOWHERE” in California that is BILLIONS over Budget and, probably, will never open or be used. So, the White House Ballroom, and The Trump Kennedy Center, which are under budget, ahead of schedule, and will be among the most magnificent Buildings of their kind anywhere in the World, gets sued by a group that was cut off by Government years ago, but all of the many DISASTERS in our Country are left alone to die. Doesn’t make much sense, does it? President DONALD J. TRUMP

We are at Step 10 of autocracy. The solution isn't polite debate; it's relentless repetition. Hammer the truth until their denial crumbles under the weight of reality.
