Well then, I suppose they should adjust their admissions process.

Yes! A letter is a letter, but what curriculum changes are being put in place to stop graduating extreme right-wing/libertarian lawyers? I wonder if they even take ethics.

THIS! When the three branches fail, the fourth estate (a free press) must succeed. In action yesterday by a reporter, "Why were the targets and types of weapons used shared on Signal?" Hegseth, "I've heard - I've heard I was characterized. Nobody was texting war plans." Release the transcript!

I'm discussing (rather than arguing) that sometimes to focus on the personal, and yes tyrannical aspects of DJT, distracts from a strategy on how to defeat him.

By "move on," I meant develop a strategy, not as in "accept it and move on." Federal judges are holding the line against DJT's push towards authoritarianism, but we are in for a months, if not years long battle. @ 47% approval, that's a lot people against our constitutional republic.

When he states that he is the law, the response must be NO YOUR ARE NOT. Because the judicial and legislative branches of government are separate. Cry for checks and balances until we are blue in the face!!!

I don't find this uplifting at all. I find it to be just more self affirming musing from the dem echo chamber. We (the dem party) need to move on from arguments that DJT is a repugnant misogynist.

Yes, but why should she have to jump through new hoops to get HIS money?! We cannot accept the GOP rhetoric around SS. It's not a "benefit;" you have no choice but to pay in, and if it' going bankrupt, it means the government has failed to be responsible custodians of your money.

Of course it's a complete shite defense. I'm truely conflicted, and just trying to think through the consequences of a complete government shutdown with an aspirational dictator at the helm.

I'm seeing a lot of "vote NO" memes, and I am conflicted. 1. Please stop telling me how to think and what to do. 2. An all Dem NO vote will lead to a government shutdown. No sitting house. Workers go home. Even less control over Trump. I think the GOP is counting on a shutdown to wreak more havoc πŸ˜ͺ

I think you understimate these representatives. The GOP may be counting on an all dem NO vote and a shutdown because with it come no sitting house. In that event, more orders to dismantle our constitution. Like it or not (not!), Chuck has to play defense when offense is required.

The problem with a NO vote is a government shutdown. The house does not sit, right? Doesn't that mean Trump is even more enabled to do whatever he wants? I think the GOP is counting on a fillabuster. I trust Chuck.

Poisoned Ground: The Tragedy at Love Canal | American Experience | PBS In the late 1970s, residents of Love Canal in Niagara Falls, NY discovered their neighborhood had been built on a former chemical waste dump. Housewives activated to create a grassroots movement that ...

As President Trump makes plans to gut the EPA we must remember the story of one of the worst environmental disasters in US history. "There must never be, in our country, another Love Canal." - Jimmy Carter

The Love Canal Tragedy | About EPA | US EPA

In light of the Supreme Court decision striking down EPA rules on water pollution, let's not forget when we let companies use our land and water to dump toxic waste and enhance their profit margins. Remember Hooker Chemicals and the Love Canal neighborhood:

Supreme Court strikes down EPA rules on discharge of water pollution The justices found the EPA cannot impose generic prohibitions against violating water quality standards.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday struck down rules regulating the discharge of water pollution, narrowing the landmark Clean Water Act in an unusual case that featured sewage and an effort by one of the nation’s greenest cities to take on the Environmental Protection Agency.

Yep, power and money. And I have to wonder if the tech bros have promised Trump immortality by transferring his consciousness to a computer. We'll be ruled by some Trumpian version of "Deep Thought" πŸ˜† But seriously, it's a real silicon valley thing - mind uploading.

All in lead up to rigging the next presidential election. Doesn't matter if its Trump. They'll (Russia, Project 2025?) will get the candidate they want. Probably Vance.
