We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.
That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.
Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.
Process arguments without merits critiques elide that Trump is “a maliciously unhinged, out-of-control despot, and thus is wrecking our system of self-rule at a foundational level.” newrepublic.com/article/2072...

Pete Hegseth's crazed rants at reporters reveal that Trump's rationales for attacking Iran are incoherent, confused, and based on lies. Dems don't have to take refuge in criticizing Trump's war on purely procedural grounds. They can go much harder. 1/

Just sent out this free post. After more than 2 days of bombing it is clear that this campaign has no national interest goals for the USA but is entirely about getting a personal/political victory for Donald Trump. And because of that, he is flailing around wildly. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

I live in Minnesota and I want the federal government to stop trying to kill us. And hurt us. I want them to stop attacking us.
It sucks.
We’re just trying to live our lives and take care of each other and we don’t deserve all this.
I kid around sometimes here but I’m not kidding now.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is one of the delayed complications of measles and affects up to 1 in 600 unvaccinated children who’ve had measles. It occurs without warning an average of 7 years after infection and can occur decades later. There is no cure and it is almost always fatal.

As an eighth-grade student from Community Action School was bravely speaking about not wanting to lose her school, an assistant professor, mistakenly believing she was muted, made this racist comment.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?

Still sort of astonishing how the men of a political faction so obsessed with masculinity will dutifully debase themselves and betray their principles to adopt the biases and obsessions of an 79-year-old demented clown -- in this case by performatively smearing the U.S.'s closest ally.

Even now, too many people simply refuse to admit what is happening. Whitewashing continues from the media and key institutions among civil society. We are in deep trouble. Time to say it together, out loud.

This is pretty important.
Since when is it old news when the president is accused of abusing a child?
Is that who we are now?
By choosing not to publicly release three FBI interviews with an underage Trump accuser—interviews the DOJ gave Ghislaine Maxwell at trial—Trump's DOJ has allowed Maxwell to retain potential blackmail over the president. But that leverage over Trump vanishes if DOJ made them public, as law requires
