πŸ”₯ KOH: β€œWhat we’re seeing is what the founding fathers feared the most β€” the collapse of our checks & balances. The Supreme court is supposed to be a co-equal branch, It's basically a mouthpiece for Trump. Members of congress are resigning rather than stand up to him.”

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.

Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income β€” so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.

The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

All those thinking the private sector would find a way to solve climate change, when of course all it was ever going to do was find ways to produce even more emissions and f*ck the environment royally.

Because well... that's all it ever has done.

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released.

β€œAnd I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

Ranked choice voting outperforms the winner-take-all system used to elect nearly every US politician Ranked choice voting largely avoids the pitfalls of plurality voting, giving voters the power to express their true candidate preferences rather than being strategic.

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

Why My Law Firm is Litigating 63 Voting Rights Cases Read here.

Two months ago I wrote about why my law firm is litigating 63 voting and election cases. Today it is 65 cases covering more than half the country. Eleven of them involve redistricting.

Where are the big law firms? Why isn't legacy media covering this? www.democracydocket.com/opinion/why-...
