How's that working for them?

Imagine doing stellar investigative reporting on a crucial topic of public interest and instead of amplifying and promoting it, YOU TRY TO ERASE IT.

Journalism is officially dead at CBS News and I feel sorry for the remaining journalists at my former network.

In practice, what it means right now is that red states like Indiana and Florida will get a free pass to gerrymander racial minorities into oblivion, even if their maps are blatantly illegal and openly racist. That gives a huge advantage to Republicans because in many states, their one neat trick for gaining a partisan advantage is diluting representation for racial minorities to create more safe GOP districts. And so they can now go full steam ahead, changing the rules, rigging the maps, hampering democracy, without worrying about any pesky litigation that will cause for them. That is the sign of a party that’s desperate to cling on to power because it is losing popular support.

We need to talk about the massive loophole that the Supreme Court just carved into election law over the shadow docket—giving states a free pass to enact patently unconstitutional voting rules within nearly *one year* of an election. A stunning new limit on judicial review. slate.com/news-and-pol...

The Supreme Court Is Poised to Revive a Key Feature of Nixon-Era Corruption The justices will hear arguments on Tuesday in NRSC v. FEC, a case cooked up by the GOP itself.

Next week the Supreme Court will hear another engineered case with fake plaintiffs, which presents another opportunity for the GOP justices to blow a hole through what remains of our campaign finance laws—this time, by turning political parties into a conduit for bribes. slate.com/news-and-pol...

State propaganda media.

As I have been lamenting for years, the clear erroneous standard for District Court findings of fact has been rendered null & void by this Court.
Justice Kagan in dissent:
“We are a higher court than the District Court, but we are not a better one when it comes to making such a fact-based decision.”

Statehood for D.C. is an ethical obligation at this point, required to protect the rights of our residents to govern ourselves against such out-of-state troops being sent to patrol our city.

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting.

Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Percent of people without health insurance, going back to 1963. Huge declines following the creation of Medicare and Medicaid, down to roughly 12%. Creeps back up to 15%. Then comes the ACA, down to 9%. Creeps back up a little. Then comes Biden improvements to the ACA, down to 8%. The "Big Beautiful Bill" pushes it back up to 12%.

In a single act, Trump is undoing significant portions of the health coverage gains of the last 60 years.

PUNISH TRUMP FOR GERRYMANDERING TEXAS!

California is laying the ground work to draw Republicans out of their seats without mercy

These guys will learn *real soon* about BLUE STATE population advantage

FIGHT 🔥 WITH 🔥

Any American journalist who doesn’t *instantaneously* see what this is—Ghislaine Maxwell, desperately seeking a pardon from Trump, negotiating privately to say whatever he wants her to say in public to get a pardon (now or anytime during her twenty-year prison bid)—should quit their job immediately.

they literally shut the government down in order to avoid the truth about Epstein. an entire branch of government isn’t working for the American people b/c they are terrified of the truth.

Now the Trump DOJ is rushing to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell to try to find out what she knows. Not suspicious as all.

This is wild — House Republicans are so scared of voting to release the Epstein files they’re going home early.

PBS News is not going anywhere.

We will continue our work without fear or favor, as we have for nearly five decades on the air.

We are profoundly grateful to Viewers Like You for your loyalty and unwavering support.

Stephen Miller is the worst president we have ever had.

This is getting lost. When Stephen Miller shrieks orders for 3000 daily arrests, they HAVE TO go after noncriminals. It's the only way to juice the numbers. So Miller is shifting resources away from serious crimes toward that.
