Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President should not be allowed to trade stocks.

Ban insider trading now.

I’m so sorry for your struggles. I just reluctantly adopted a new fur kid. Reluctant because I know she’ll break my heart. Eventually will arrive way before I’ll be ready for it.

Ha! The first time I read your post the FIRST time you used β€˜taboolee’ I thought, is this another metaphorical expression along the lines of β€˜society is either a melting pot or a salad.’ Hmm, wonder what a taboolee society would be like?

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

My favorite t-shirt says β€œI garden so that I don’t kill people.” Seems accurate.

Release the Epstein files.

They'll try to distract you.

Keep focused.

in 2016 this poster began to appear in Berkeley CA & was criticized in many quarters as "exaggerated"--"hysterical"--"paranoid"; now, we have re-evaluate it as prescient.

From a time when childhood vaccines were just a figment of imagination.

Never get my name pronounced correctly. Not the given or the family name. Jerusha is pronounced like the city of Jerusalem, but with a β€œsha” at the end. Dahm is Dβ€”aaaaahhhβ€”mm. Piece of cake.

SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting
adjudicating this case. But if this Court wishes to permit the Government to flout the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Due Process Clause, it cannot avoid accountability for that lawlessness by tasking the lower courts with inventing a rationale. The Court's continued refusal to justify its extraordinary decisions in this case, even as it faults lower courts for failing properly to divine their import, is indefensible.

"In a democracy, power implies responsibility. The greater the power that defies law the less tolerant can this Court be of defiance. As the Nation's ultimate judicial tri-bunal, this Court, beyond any other organ of society, is the trustee of law and charged with the duty of securing obedience to it." Mine Workers, 330 U.S., at 312 (Frankfurter,
J., concurring in judgment). This Court continues to invert those principles. Today's order clarifies only one thing:
Other litigants must follow the rules, but the administration has the Supreme Court on speed dial. Respectfully, I dissent.

NEW: SCOTUS shoots down a federal judge’s effort to protect eight men from being expelledβ€”without due processβ€”to South Sudan, where they face torture and death.
