Recall these guys were so horrified at the prospect of a Puerto Rican talking about love and unity that the “family-friendly” Christian alternative was an aging sleazebag who gleefully sings about how it’s “mandatory” to statutorily rape underage girls.

After The Fabs: 10 essential post-Beatles books This year marks the 55th anniversary of The Beatles’ breakup. Yet most books about the group focus on those fabled years from 1957 to 1970. We look beyond that.

Goldmine's picks from among biographies of the individual Fabs, with The McCartney Legacy topping the list. www.goldminemag.com/features/aft...

Of course Alito and Thomas would rubber stamp the Trump Administration's lawlessness, racism and cruelty.

Should've been a 9-0 Supreme Court decision to block the use of Alien Enemies Act but...is anyone surprised?

It wasn't an error, it was intentional. He is deliberately working to destroy this country from within. There is no other explanation for this and everything else he has done, both this time and in his first term.

Craig Unger, an American journalist and writer who has written two books on Trump’s connections to Russia’s security services and the Russian mafia, says he is "absolutely certain" that the U.S. president is a Russian asset.

We literally could not be in this situation if it weren't for Moscow Mitch failing to support Trump's impeachments despite saying he was wrong on Ukraine and responsible for Jan 6. He can't Profiles in Courage his way out of that.

Trump vs. the Courts: Will He Drive Us Over the Constitutional Cliff? It’s about to be a constitutional crisis, if it’s not already. And we’re only three weeks in. Buckle up.

Vice President JD Vance’s incendiary suggestions about executive branch noncompliance with judicial orders should, for now, be taken as a feint—but a feint in the direction of a steep constitutional cliff that leads to constitutional desolation.

We’ve Never Been Here Before: The Zero-Accountability Presidency The only institutions that will try to hold Trump accountable are powerless, while the only ones with the power to punish him will never do it.

They, we, must fight harder than ever. It’s just going to be maddening, watching a convicted felon president tell lies and corrupt our values. We have to believe that a day of reckoning will come. Without that belief, he wins. newrepublic.com/post/190086/...

Elon Musk Downplays the Role of Climate in L.A. Fires, Scientists Say Posting on the social media site he owns, Mr. Musk blamed the fires on government. Scientists said a warming planet set the conditions.

Elon Musk inserted himself into the debate over the role climate change plays in wildfires as at least five fires scorched the Los Angeles area. But scientists are clear: a warming planet has created the conditions.

@danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co: "Right now, we have President Elon Musk. And Donald Trump—maybe he's vice president. I guess vice presidents don't do much, so that makes sense. He might be the chief of staff. I don't know what you call him, but he is not calling the shots."

As a settlement of civil litigation it's absurd. As a down payment regulatory favors it's cheap. Expect more frivolous suits as a way to get bribes thru settlements.
