The argument was almost a post-mortum of how the court's rulings striking down campaign finance restrictions have affected the election landscape.

Alito said Citizens United was "unfairly maligned."

Sotomayor said the courts "makes matters worse."

Supreme Court probes campaign finance limits challenged by JD Vance Supreme Court appears likely to issue a ruling notwithstanding arguments that the case is moot because of Vance's equivocation about 2028.

The Supreme Court could strike down longstanding campaign finance restrictions notwithstanding concerns that JD's Vance's equivocation about his political intentions means he doesn't have any grounds to challenge them:

Raskin Launches Investigation Into Trump’s Edited Interview, Habba Resigns In Disgrace, Virginia Could Deliver Dem House Gains, and LA Unmasks ICE The resistance won’t back down

Raskin said: β€œThe facts here are clear. [Trump] directed CBS to edit his own interview … and CBS complied with his requests and omitted its anchor’s questions about Trump’s pardons.”

President Trump is mad about the 60 Minutes interview with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene R-GA, so he wants an apology from CBS. I can't make this stuff up.

The next Democratic administration should expand the court.

There’s no other way to redeem SCOTUS at this point.

When given a choice between the oligarch class (like chip makers who want to sell to China) & the long-term security of the US & national interest as a whole, Trump ALWAYS chooses oligarchs because everything he does as president is for them. If only his supporters could see it.

Tom Perriello For Congress Launch Video

Former Rep. Tom Perriello, a Virginia Democrat who won his sole term in a huge 2008 upset, unexpectedly announces campaign against GOP Rep. John McGuire. Trump carried the current version of #VA05 56-43, but it could look a lot different if Democrats convince voters to approve a new map this spring.

The reason we don’t sell H200, and other advanced chips to China is that they have dual-use (military and civilian) capability.

These will help China improve their AI, surveillance, and cyber espionage capability.

The export controls existed strictly for NatSec purposes.

Video shows masked Border Patrol agent chasing woman back to her Louisiana home Jacelynn Guzman said she is a U.S.-born citizen. The Department of Homeland Security said Friday that it "determined the individual in question was not the target."

"She said she repeatedly told the agents she’s a U.S. citizen.

β€œI just kept repeating it β€” I’m a U.S.-born citizen. I was born and raised here. This is my home. My baby’s waiting for me...”

She screamed β€œLeave me alone...”

JD Vance's hedging on a presidential run could imperil his campaign finance Supreme Court case A lawyer defending restrictions on how much party committees can spend in coordination with candidates argues the case is moot because of Vance's equivocation about 2028.

JD Vance, for obvious political reasons, is constantly hedging on his plans for the 2028 election.

That could create problems for his attempt to challenge campaign finance restrictions in a case being heard by the Supreme Court today.

Why?πŸ‘‡

My Dad’s Alzheimer’s Diagnosis and Becoming a Caregiver

A few weeks ago, my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I won’t lieβ€”it's been incredibly challenging for me and my family.

Now, I’m embarking on a journey to answer the questions so many of us face when it comes to providing care for our loved ones.

I hope you’ll join me.

Both @jamestalarico.bsky.social & @jasmineforus.bsky.social are @runforsomething.net alum - I don't know who will win the primary (or who can win the general) but I know both are powerful communicators & fighters for what's right, and I'm looking forward to seeing them make their case to Texans.
