The Creation of the "Shadow Docket" by the Coward John Roberts YouTube video by Takes™ by Jamelle Bouie

Regarding a recent New York Times investigation into the creation of the shadow docket, and what it says about John Roberts' self-mythology as a judicial umpire.

“Ex-Brazilian”?

California is the nation's LARGEST donor state — sending $275 BILLION more in taxes to Washington than we get back.

Donald Trump can lie all he wants about the Golden State, but we're the ones paying his bills and keeping the U.S. economy afloat.

That the president of the United States is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system!

The Great Divorce - Digby's Hullabaloo "Just a normal human" Something has shifted. Not completely shifted. But shifted. You see it in the polling. Donald Trump's support is cratering. His legitimacy is draining away. Our friend Darcy Burn...

The MAGAs are done with Trump, but they are not done with the grievances that led them to him and that he exploited.

Mark Ruffalo, Glenn Close, Ben Stiller, Jane Fonda, John Cusack, Kristen Stewart, JJ Abrams, Katie Phang, John Leguizamo, and over a thousand actors, writers, directors, journalists, producers, composers, and Hollywood executives have signed a letter against the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger:

Trump is not all the US. Netanyahu is not all Israel. The Mullahs are not all Iran. The Nazis are not all Germany. Fascism is always the minority. We all need to fight it wherever it raises its ugly head.

I don’t think people around the world realize how bad the attack on Lebanon was today. It’s BAD. Like 9/11 BAD. Hospitals are overflowing and do not have enough blood. We still don’t know what the death toll is.
