Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift.
Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.
I was treated to a spectacular bit of gaslighting by Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyer, David Markus, over this post. I have a zero-tolerance policy for both gaslighters and mansplainers—habits that frequently overlap—so I’m sharing some thoughts. Please spread the word. Thanks. youtube.com/shorts/uMb82...
The 2020 election was NOT rigged.
These attempts to rewrite history and undermine our elections are dangerous and need to stop.
SCOOP --> Paramount, Meta, and X are refusing to say what happened to their huge contributions to Trump's presidential library after Sen Elizabeth Warren raised questions about its fund getting dissolved. Ds say tens of millions remain unaccounted for.

'Texas A&M philosophy professor Martin Peterson is leaving the university after administrators told him in January that he couldn’t teach Plato’s Symposium in his philosophy class; they said the ancient Greek philosopher’s work violated the system’s restrictions on gender and sexuality content.' 1/3
The IRS is expected to lose up to $479B over the next decade because of a drop in immigrant filings.
These immigrants were doing the right thing & filing taxes, but Trump is sharing IRS data with ICE.
Trump’s deportation agenda is ruining lives & costing the country billions.
Schulman's compensation last year was $34 million. He believes 20-30% unemployment is almost at hand, and his solution is "more education and reskilling."
I don't think he understands what it would be like when a population armed to the teeth has 20-30% unemployment and no social safety net.
Note the sudden explosion of false statements by Trump just before markets were closing for the week. You can count on it that someone was investing in reliance on these tweets, and made a killing. The question is: who?
Absolutely.
"These people are stealing your tax money, robbing you of services you paid for to enrich themselves. I will stop that."
That's a pretty simple and effective message.
7/When a president can make convictions disappear for his allies while leaning on prosecutors to go after his critics, the damage isn’t just theoretical, it’s already happening in front of our eyes. It’s on all of us to see it clearly and refuse to look away. joycevance.substack.com/p/justice-ac...
3/Here’s what that means: The gov’t wants to pretend the indictments didn’t occur & juries never convicted these defendants on some of the most serious charges that can be leveled against people in a democracy. Vacating a conviction means it never happened.
Here’s the chaser: At the same time…
1/The Justice Department has moved to drop the last remaining January 6 insurrection criminal matters: the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys seditious conspiracy cases. Trump commuted their sentences when he returned to office, which got them out of prison, but it didn’t erase their convictions.
If Dems retake either house, they must launch an investigation into this. There's no easier way to highlight the corruption of this era and to establish that Dems are committed to fighting it.
Pretty sure @wyden.senate.gov and Maxine Waters would be the chairs to do it.
I'm sure it is just a coincidence, and has nothing to do with the most openly corrupt Administration in history. #TrumpCrimeFamily

NYT INVESTIGATION: As the Trump administration & Congress last year moved to repeal sanctions on Syria, the Qatar-based family that most stood to benefit was privately negotiating a real-estate partnership with Jared Kushner and proposing a Trump golf course in Syria www.nytimes.com/2026/04/19/u...
One reason that we cannot have professional diplomats representing the interests of the United States is that it would disrupt a pattern of personal enrichment for the Presidents allies and families.
The Stefanik defense is "he didn't mean to say what he said." But when he's now said it three separate times over nearly two weeks, how is that a viable defense? bsky.app/profile/atru...
yeah it is critical that dems win the senate
Conservatives' brains are so broken. Thomas is one of the most powerful people in the country and he lives like a billionaire, vacationing on private yachts and private ranches.
But he is still filled with resentment over "liberals" making his life miserable back when he was a baby in 1948? Wut?
Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows: "In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis. When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."
OOP
New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!'

A peer reviewed study shows a promising link between flu and shingles vaccines and a reduced risk of dementia. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon’s penis for “further study” says these vaccines cause autism. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.
It's almost as if everything Trump says about the negotiations bullshit and everyone who believes him is a cultist or a moron.
True! Fun fact: They did this because someone leaked Robert Bork’s rental history during his confirmation battle.
Great, shocking reporting on the origins of the Supreme Court maneuver that has enabled Trump to impose his agenda without full-blown legal review. Roberts resented the Obama admin’s EPA and wanted quick protection for oil companies.
Even joking that RFK Jr was doing his own “medical research” is incredibly insulting to real scientists. He’s just a straight up freak and weirdo. Science doesn’t have anything to do with whatever is going on in his sick brain.

Bill Nye and hundreds of Planetary Society members are heading to DC on Monday to protest the White House's proposal to slash NASA's science budget in half.
These cuts were announced as the Artemis astronauts were on their way to the Moon:
NEW: We obtained the government’s settlement agreement with Michael Flynn.
As previously reported, DOJ agreed to pay $1.25 million to settle Flynn’s claims that he was wrongfully prosecuted.
But docs suggest a separate settlement could be in the works: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/u.s....
