Sen. Bookerβs speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.
What will you do?

The slow march toward martial law continues.
They will say the Tesla protests justify it. They will say judicial activism justifies it. They will say whatever they think they need to say to keep on board whatever Republicans they think they need to keep on board.
But it was always going to happen.

And hereβs a fun fact - once prices are raised, they rarely go down. Just more profits for corporations.
Is America Great Again Yet?
My grocery bill says NO.
My 401k says NO.
We, the People, say NO.

Every time Trump threatens tariffs, prices increase. It does not matter that heβs the most unserious person ever to be in the vicinity of the Oval Office and these tariffs never happen. Business must plan and when tariffs are even THREATENED, prices go UP.

βοΈ With the Disney lawsuit shining a spotlight on forced arbitration, Jeffrey unpacks how forced arbitration is quietly dismantling our 7th Amendment right to a jury trial. Now is the time for every American to understand how corporations are rewriting the rules of justice.

The larger issue is there isnβt an insurance company around that will insure new homes in CA post fire. Weβve already seen that in Tahoe post the massive snowfall in 2022. Same in Florida. Without insurance new builds are nearly impossible.

Texas files first lawsuit against out-of-state abortion provider
This case sets up a legal battle between Texasβ near-total abortion ban and New Yorkβs shield law that protects doctors from out-of-state prosecution.
This is the Texas the majority of voters wanted so here we go. The only guarantee is that more women will die because the next woman wonβt go to the hospital.
