Cover of Mother Jones with an image of fingers pointing at John Roberts and the coverline "Blame John Roberts for Everything"
The NYT big expose on SCOTUS today pairs well with @ariberman.bsky.social and @pemalevy.bsky.social's cover story on how ~everything wrong with this country today can be laid at the feet of John Roberts: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
We’re worse off than we were under Obama’s deal. Period.
Trump blew up the 2015 agreement in 2018, and everything went backward.
Under that deal, Iran’s enrichment was capped at 3.67%. Since it was canceled the deal, estimates are that Iran got it up to 60%. Just a step away from weapons-grade.
VERY creative—and true. Worth a listen!
Remind me why anyone who values their freedom and constitutional rights chooses to live in Florida?!
Yes, please!
While the average price of ground beef now sits higher than the minimum wage in many states, look here: Trump has found a new way to put his tiny hands into our (mostly empty) pockets. When his grifting & spending spree are done, there won’t be money to restore programs to serve the rest of us.
The horse is outta the barn but it’s still well worth documenting Kushner’s grift.
Iranian officials are saying that commercial ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz will be required to pay a "Tehran toll," and US warships will not be allowed to transit. Meanwhile Trump continues his blockade of Iranian ports. Yet oil prices are falling on the assumption the the Strait is "open."
Self-interested billionaires helped send Donald Trump to the White House, and on Tax Day they're enjoying a return on their investment.
His Big Beautiful Bill delivered $1 trillion in tax cuts to the top 1 percent.
I am so sorry this happened to you! I still recall getting hit on my bike as a 12 year old. Not injured, but badly shaken. Lady gets out of the car, doesn’t ask how I am, but shouts at me. “Do you know how badly you scared me?!”
Something like this will have to happen in this country once Trumpism is defeated. In the absence of accountability, the world will rightly assume that it will happen again.
The DOJ holds thousands of Epstein videos
Not one has been released
Leo: "The message of the church, the message of the gospel -- blessed are the peacemakers. I do not look at my role as being political. I don't want to get into a debate with him. I don't think the message of the gospel is meant to be abused in the way that some people are doing."
What part of diplomacy does this administration not understand? Oh, all of it, apparently. It’s like they’re blaming Iran for demonstrating it doesn’t have to buckle immediately under their threats.
Iran closed the Strait.
So Trump is blockading it.
From the outside.
We are now blockading a strait we are demanding Iran open. You cannot make this up.
And it's all because this idi0t tore up the deal that John Kerry negotiated in the Obama administration and now he can't fix it. He'll never fix it. "The Art of the No Deal"
You know that’s not a coincidence, right?
"The arch is what happens when a powerful and deeply insecure man looks at hallowed ground and sees another opportunity for a monument to himself. The fallen buried at Arlington deserve better than to spend eternity in the shadow of someone else’s ambition."

Ok. Would YOU trust your future to a guy who lies whenever his lips are moving and throws anyone else under the bus to save himself? Spoiler alert: POTUS can’t pardon/protect anyone from state level charges. He knows this of course, thanks to the efforts of Letitia James.
GAME CHANGER: Montana just found the "exit ramp" to kill Citizens United. They aren't waiting for the Supreme Court—they’re going around them. 74% of voters are on board and corporate lawyers are PANICKING. This is how we win. 🏔️💸 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/army-secre...
Release the Epstein Files
All of them, unredacted
And then arrest every single rapist and paedophile
The mistress of good timing must feel extra special now that she gets Noem’s fancy, retrofitted plane.
Imagine what he’d say if he actually knew how to cut someone down. This is schoolyard and only adds to the growing understanding of how unhinged this POTUS really is.
🚨BREAKING: Federal Court DISMISSES DOJ lawsuit to obtain Massachusetts' unredacted voter file. A victory for our clients the New England NAACP and the MA Alliance for Retired Americans and the Commonwealth.
My firm is now 4-0 in these cases against DOJ. www.democracydocket.com/cases/massac...
So, let me see if I have this right… we’ve threatened #genocide on social media, ordered the military to commit #warcrimes (which they refused), tried to reinstate the draft without Congress, and threatened the Pope, all in one week?
Those #Epsteinfiles must be even more damning than we think.
What state secrets must POTUS be planning to steal this time? Anything documenting his illegal activities? He’ll need a bigger bathroom to store all of that.
That's for sure. He is definitely not American citizens first.
One thing city and state governments can do to help resist ICE is to mandate swift public release of bodycam footage any time police interact with ICE or CBP.
D.C. passed a law like this and it's already uncovered an ICE shooting nobody had even heard about.
