If we "should be talking about the stock market," we should be framing it like this.

Dan Koh: In the last year, this leader tried to take sovereign land unilaterally, use the justice system to jail enemies, & actively shut down independent media voices

That was Vladimir Putin—the fact that so many ppl thought I was describing Trump right now shows how much our democracy is at risk

2013

Must be nice to have a functioning Supreme Court.

Trump Says Andrew's Arrest Sets Dangerous Precedent of Pedophiles Facing Consequences “King Charles released a statement where he said no one is above the law,” he said. “That was a horrible thing to say.”

Calling Andrew’s arrest “disgraceful,” Trump said it had made him “rethink the whole idea of becoming king.”

Borowitz apparently couldn’t hold this in in, had to post again today.

More than 21 million Americans are unable to access the additional documents that would be required to register to vote.

People of color, married people who have changed their names, as well as young and elderly people are more likely to have difficulty in accessing these documents.

A tweet from Michael McFaul questioning claims that Iran’s nuclear program was “obliterated,” alongside a Rapid Response 47 post quoting Vice President Vance saying the U.S. does not want Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon and prefers diplomatic negotiations. Below is a Fox News screenshot of Vance speaking on-air.

All to distract from the Trump-Epstein files.

"Approximately 54% of U.S. adults (about 130 million people) read below a 6th-grade level, according to data from the Barbara Bush Foundation and other sources."

So, there it is.

“Reforms” Didn’t End Police Violence in 2020 and They Won’t End ICE Violence Now We can’t settle for “reforming” the largest law enforcement agency in the nation — it must be abolished.

"The demands outlined by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer could not be more toothless: requiring ICE agents to unmask, wear body cameras, and to follow a code of conduct modeled on other law enforcement agencies."

JFC - ICE must be abolished. Police violence is endemic to the system.

We could have had a woman as POTUS. Twice.
Obama & Biden were all the better for the women who were by their sides, supporting & advising them.
Painful to imagine how much better it would be today with Kamala Harris as POTUS. It will likely go down in history as the biggest mistake the US ever made.

Susan Collins hands Trump the 50th vote against free and fair elections When it comes to free and fair elections, Collins is as conservative and anti-voting rights as they come.

Collins always has an excuse to vote against free and fair elections. It is the one issue on which she reliably proves she is in lockstep with the rest of her party. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...

JD Vance Embodies MAGA's Heretical, Heartless, Jesus-Less Christianity JD Vance claims to be a follower of Jesus.

"He wears his religion openly, brandishing it at every opportunity in performative piety and finger-wagging condescension, while justifying the harboring of pedophiles, the rolling back of human rights, and the indiscriminate assaults of brown-skinned people by government-funded, masked mercenaries"

Yes, please.

‘Prince Andrew believed having sex with me was his birthright’: Virginia Giuffre on her abuse at the hands of Epstein, Maxwell and the king’s brother In an extract from her posthumous memoir, Virginia Roberts Giuffre remembers the day an ‘apex predator’ recruited her from Mar-a-Lago, aged just 16; how she was trafficked to a succession of wealthy a...

A former prince was arrested 10 months too late for Virginia Giuffre to witness his downfall.

The passages in her posthumous memoir are horrifying and heartbreaking, but reinforces why everyone involved should face accountability. And that child rapist Ghislane Maxwell must rot behind bars.

Trump’s DOJ: Sorry, there’s nothing we can do about the Epstein pedos.

Europe: We’re arresting members of the British royal family.

It will be talked about the same way as hitler and Caligula and Mad King George.

It will be centuries before we live down the Trump regime.

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill kicks 15 million Americans off their health insurance & Republicans made it worse by letting ACA tax credits expire. At Young & Healthy in Pasadena, I met with community leaders working overtime to help families stay covered as Republican health care cuts send premiums soaring.

“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert is accusing the Trump administration and CBS of censorship after the network informed the “Late Show” that Colbert couldn’t air an interview with James Talarico, a Texas Democrat running for Senate.

The British monarchy is having a bad day. #RoyalArrest

Virginia Giuffre’s Brother: It was disgraceful that Bondi couldn't even acknowledge us because if they did that, then they would admit wrongdoing. Our president can't do that. The reason is he is potentially implicated in these files. He may have to answer some questions himself.

Former public prosecutor Nazir Afzal on the speed at which the police have acted on Andrew's misconduct allegations compared to the Epstein trafficking allegations:

"When the state is the alleged victim, the state moves at pace. When women are the alleged victims, the state takes its time"
