Will the Voting Rights Act Survive SCOTUS? | Crooked Media

I joined @leahlitman.bsky.social of the @strictscrutiny.bsky.social to discuss my new book, Giving Up Is Unforgivable: A Manual For Keeping A Democracy. We had things to say about the rule of law and the current administration. I hope you'll listen in! crooked.com/podcast/will...

He hates American values and principles. He hates democracy. He despises the Constitution and its constraints. He hates most Americans. All he desires is money, power and staying out of jail. Am I missing something?

Reminder: while millions of federal employees scramble to make ends meet while they go without pay during this Republican shutdown…

… House Republicans are on a month-long paid vacation.

I can see smoke coming off him…

As expected, James Comey has filed a motion to dismiss his indictment based on a vindictive and selective prosecution.

Along with it, his lawyers included an exhibit, 60 pages long, listing all the times Donald Trump targeted him in public statements—on Twitter, Truth Social, and other places.

HuffPost: Donald trump has posted an AI video of himself dumping s**t on protesters

He's definitely not mad that 7 million Americans came out to protest him yesterday....

The fact that the President of the United States posts an AI video of himself dumping shit on America from a “King Trump” jet and we’re supposed to pretend it’s perfectly normal, everyday stuff shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Another week in Washington and Republicans are still on recess, boycotting negotiations - while the government is shut down. Now, Trump is moving money around to pay only the employees he favors - another sign that he wants the government shut down so he can act like a king.

Trump let George Santos out of jail just to make it clear that if you're loyal to him, you can get away with anything. This isn't a democracy if one man decides what's a crime and what isn't.

Time for everyone to wake up. This moment is more serious than many want to believe.

Guys, I don’t mean to sound like this but there is a felon down the street making AI videos of himself as a king shitting on Americans and the American flag and he is literally tearing down the White House as we speak

Trump nominee says MLK Jr. holiday belongs in ‘hell’ and that he has ‘Nazi streak,’ according to texts Paul Ingrassia’s bid to lead a whistleblower agency is set for a Senate confirmation hearing Thursday.

Trump has nominated an admitted Nazi to lead the office of special council for the government.

You can’t make this stuff up. Trump and his entire administration is rot.

So, which media outlet is digging into the White House general contractor's background and supply chains?

What the what

Democrats are fighting to help American families hang onto their health insurance because no one should go bankrupt because they got sick and needed to see a doctor.

Literally

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican.

It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.

Millions hit the streets this weekend in solidarity with each other and to affirm the foundations of the common good.

Hershel was named Ambassador to the Bahamas by Trump. My theory is Trump remembered that Walker was part of the 1992 Olympic bobsled team. Then he recalled the movie "Cool Runnings about the Jamaican bobsled team. He then just confused the Bahamas with Jamaica.

Great article

Trump nominee says he has a ‘Nazi streak,’ bashes MLK Jr. Day, according to texts Paul Ingrassia’s bid to lead a whistleblower agency is set for a Senate confirmation hearing Thursday.

EXCLUSIVE: Embattled Trump nominee Paul Ingrassia told Republicans that the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday should be “tossed into the seventh circle of hell” and that he has “a Nazi streak,” according to a group chat viewed by POLITICO.

So, per reporting from Zeteo’s Asawin Suebsaeng, in today’s new ‘First Draft’ newsletter, Trump tried to get a newly-divorced Russ Vought, Project 2025 architect & now budget chief, laid at Mar-a-Lago.

The details are, ahem, as crude as you’d expect from Trump.

“This is not about drugs, it’s not about Venezuela, it’s not about anything else but this new assertion by the president that the U.S. military will kill anyone he points at, for any reason he deems sufficient.”

Very true and very scary comment by Tom Nichols.

Trump: "We took care of Medicaid and Medicare. We took care of everything. We didn't know where we'd stand in a year or two years from now, so we put every single thing that we wanted in that bill for four years. So we don't need anymore votes."

Remind me:

What’s the word for an ideology that fuses corporations, religion, and the state in pursuit of military glory?

The longer this goes on, the more Americans want to know why Republicans are protecting pedophiles.

A tweet from James Surowiecki reads: “This tweet is a perfect encapsulation of the MAGA understanding of presidential power: since Trump was elected, he can do whatever he wants, ignore the Constitution, and ignore the law. But that's not how US democracy is supposed to work. The president is not a king.” Below it, he quotes Meghan McCain’s tweet, which says: “I don’t understand how Trump is a King when he won every single swing state, the electoral college and popular vote in a democratic election.”

Unfortunately this particular McCain apple fell far from the family tree.

The war zone in Portland has spiraled out of control.
