The latest developments are “deeply troubling."

Could This Actually End Citizens United? YouTube video by Robert Reich

No Supreme Court ruling or constitutional amendment needed.

Here's how it works:

We Forget About ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ at Our Peril The abuses are piling up, and Democrats and activists are desperate to get the word out.

Judge ordered unmonitored legal calls. Guards cut the phones. Then came beatings, pepper spray, a knee on a neck, a broken wrist, one man unconscious.

Court filings. Attorney photographs. An Amnesty International report titled "Torture." A district court closed it. Two Trump judges reopened it.

A demonstration at the Dilley Concentration Camp in Texas. Children and families have been imprisoned in the concentration camp in Texas for months, and all they’ve experienced is abuse, neglect, mistreatment, undrinkable water and moldy food. #SHUTDOWNDILLEY

Trump’s “I’m crazy!“ salesman act is not an act, which means his unelected Cabinet is running our government.

How the AI oligarchy devoured America

This story is a part of "Power Hungry," our latest package on the AI oligarchs who are upending communities over their plans for massive data centers across the country.

Check it out:

The mass shooting in Shreveport is a horrifying act of violence and my heart is with the family & community as they grieve this devastating loss.

Gun violence is the leading cause of death of America’s children. We must not rest until we can secure a safe childhood for America’s youth.

Let’s hope there’s no need to decide what to do w/ Trump’s planned, but not yet approved, triumphal arch after he is gone. We do want to be ready, so we can include it as part of the inaugural parade or funeral procession, whichever comes first.
Here’s one ⬇️
What’s yours?

Trump and the IRS are in talks to resolve his $10 billion lawsuit over leaked tax records — NBC News The president's lawsuit, filed this year, alleges that the IRS failed to take the necessary steps to prevent the unauthorized release of his tax documents.

If the President can’t be sued while he is President, why is he allowed to file a lawsuit during his Presidency when he appointed all the people in charge?
This should be paused until he isn’t the President anymore.

Greeted by empty seats. Congress approves most every whim.
Congress needs to get the message. He is toast &so are you. You continue to lack discernment about his extreme agenda, deficit. His war. His lies. His propaganda.

As the Director of the FBI, Kash brings a whole new meaning to "undercover"—mostly because he’s under a table by 10:00 PM. Leading the nation’s top agency requires a sharp mind, yet Kash prefers his intelligence strictly "on the rocks."

Daily Beast: The US Navy crashed a $240M spy drone during fighting in Iran. The crash marks the latest entry on the ever-growing tab for Trump’s war, which is thought to already stand in the tens of billions, before any impact on the economy is considered.

Trump sues as a weapon. He hurls lawsuits around like battle-axes . IRS tax information for citizens isn’t public record. Only specific, authorized entities can view them. His tax information was leaked. Ok fair. 🙄

AND It chaps my hide we’re still going round & round about his GD taxes.

Trump fight with Pope Leo is about so much more than Trump’s Iran War Crimes and atrocities

GOP has long pushed for an American theocracy based almost totally on the Old Testament that would be very similar to Iran.

A Jesus following Pope is not part of that plan. So Trump demonizes the Pope

Trump’s antipathy for Pope may have roots in childhood Protestant church Manhattan church led by Norman Vincent Peale was known for opposing presidency of JFK – and Catholics in general

Adult Trump shows no sign of religious belief, aside from posturing for his religious MAGAs. But when he was young, his family were followers of Norman Vincent Peale, a conservative protestant who fought JFK's Presidency because he was Catholic.

Cry like a fucking "strongman", Orban! You lost and in 2028 "strongman" Trump and his "strongman" successor will lose, too. They will join the crying of ousted fascist Guardians of Pedos party.

Good morning to everyone who voted for Kamala Harris.
