There is no question about it: Alito, Thomas, Roberts, and the three Trump Supreme Court appointees are all GOP partisan hacks.
Pass term limits. Expand the court. Enact an enforceable code of ethics.
We must keep pushing Democrats to enact court reform.
There is no βwar on Christmasβ & no one is banning βmerry Christmas"
I'm Muslimβsaying "Merry Christmas" to me isn't offensive. Offensive is when MAGA cuts food stamps, healthcare, & education while giving trillions in tax cuts to billionaires

I'm having surgery on Friday to remove a potentially cancerous uterus growth, & I shit you not, my (male) gyno had the audacity to tell me "some women don't need pain meds after". THEY ARE LITERALLY SCRAPING MY ORGAN CLEAN WITH A SCALPEL. I have a feeling men wouldn't say the same about their dicks.

Other nations see it as a violation of international law

An overreach of U.S. jurisdiction

Months before the start of the World Cup, the MAGA regime are planning to require all foreign tourists to submit five years of their social media data upon entering the United States.
This is what fascism looks like and FIFA gave it a fake bullshit peace award. Disgusting.
Judge Paul A. Engelmayer agreed to the governmentβs request to make public a large set of records from the Maxwell case β a cache of transcripts, exhibits, and related materials that could run into the hundreds of thousands of pages and has never been released before.

Hey rural farmers, Trump sure screwed up your marketplace with his tariffs and increased cost to farm.
So, to keep your vote, he'll give you a (socialized) 12Bil bailout this year.
But did you know....
Argentina got 40Bil and an agreement to buy their beef?
What!!??
Did you vote for this??
Agreed. My daughter and I have started talking about this.

What Adam said. ππ½
My son just had surgery, and for the first time ever, we had to depend on a GFM for his medical care.
Because Mike Johnson, Trump and maga MOC hate America and her citizens.
This is untenable and no way to live.

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job.
Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.
Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.
Itβs amazing how all the reporting is just memory-holing this part

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.
We donβt need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.
If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.
You know theyβre worried about this weekendβs turnout at the No Kings rally when theyβre already making comments about it. Whoβs ready for Saturday?

Today, Mike Johnson will continue to keep the House adjourned for the 71st day out of the last 83, with Republicans refusing to show up to work again to avoid having to vote on the Epstein files or negotiate with Democrats.

Protesters in Portland showing up in costume embody joy as resistance. If those who oppress us can be absurd, so can those fighting for freedom. Humor and creativity remind us that rebellion isnβt only angerβitβs the courage to laugh, to dance, and to exist loudly in the face of control. #Pinks

2/ Democrats aren't going to vote for a budget that throws millions off health care and funds Trump's growing totalitarianism. At least I'm not.
Why work so hard to get to the Senate if you don't use your power to fight for what you believe in? Especially at a time like this.
I need a montage of famous cops in movies and TV shows flashing their badges and announcing their names, followed by a stream of masked ICE guys refusing to give theirs.
