Dismantling It All With A Whisper The Supreme Courtโ€™s โ€œShadow Docketโ€ is letting the Trump White House burn it all down

We got another massively consequential ruling from the Supreme Court this week, this one allowing Trump's dismantling of the Department of Education. But why is nobody talking about it? Because the ruling came down on the Court's so-called "Shadow Docket."

Refusing to meet with the Parliamentarian to discuss if your accounting scheme violates the rules amounts to overruling her. The GOP is going nuclear to get its tax breaks for the rich.

If the GOP bill passes, a lot of folks who have grandma in a nursing home will need to take her back home. Do voters across the rural states this will impact the most understand that?

Weโ€™ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably wonโ€™t share intel with us. Because people couldnโ€™t vote for a woman.

Tariffs.
Stock market down.
Medicaid slashed
Secret police throwing anyone who looks Latino in unmarked vans.
National guard and marines deployed in LA.
No end to the wars in Gaza or Ukraine
Bombing Iran

This is the worst first six months of any presidential term in my lifetime.

60% of American households canโ€™t afford a minimal quality of life.

Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 โ€” the biggest one-year increase ever.

Our problem isn't a lack of resources.

Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Scores of staffers at the White House National Security Council have been abruptly dismissed as part of a sweeping overhaul that slashes the staff from over 300 to just 50. The move shifts the NSCโ€™s role from policymaking to simply carrying out the presidentโ€™s directives.

The Real MediScam Republicans are lying about whatโ€™s driving their Medicaid cuts

To fund Trumpโ€™s expiring tax cuts for the wealthy, the GOP is proposing a massive $715 billion cut to Medicaid. Theyโ€™re calling it reform, but make no mistake: itโ€™s just another transfer of wealth from those who have the least to those who have the most.

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ainโ€™t your strong suitโ€”so let me break it down real slow:

George Floyd didnโ€™t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. Thatโ€™s called murder.

Banning fluoride is the opposite of improving health.

Fluoride tablets are PRESCRIPTION supplements that have measurably improved the health of children.

They are prescribed when there is no fluoridated water or access to fluoride, because fluoride PREVENTS tooth decay.

Curious about why "Women's Health" needs explicit focus in clinical research?

Because most historical clinical trials are composed of ONLY men because the (male) scientists thought women's hormones would "mess up" the data.

We encourage reading the book, but this is a nice intro.
