In 1939, Sir Nicholas Winton quietly orchestrated the rescue of 669 Jewish children from Nazi-occupied Europe, giving them a chance at life while much of the world looked away. He kept his heroic actions a secret for decadesβ€” even from his own wife. It wasn't until 1988… 1/2

Donald Trump Jr in 2024: How is it that my father could be convicted of 34 crimes, but no one on Epstein's list has even been brought to light? I'm trying to figure out how that's possible. It's almost like they're trying to protect those pedophiles for some reason. I can't imagine why.

β€œDisaster looms”: Justice Jackson’s warning for the country The Supreme Court allows presidents to do what judges have ruled illegal.

β€œI have no doubt that, if judges must allow the Executive to act unlawfully in some circumstances, as the Court concludes today, executive lawlessness will flourish..."

Trump says supreme court limiting judges’ powers is β€˜monumental victory’ as liberal justices dissent – live Sonia Sotomayor says decision is an β€˜open invitation … to bypass the constitution’; joined by Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson

This outrageous Supreme Court decision is another reminder that the courts won’t save us. Today’s ruling from the MAGA SCOTUS is all the more reason why Democrats in Congress must fight like hell to block Trump’s policies from being enacted and gum up the works as much as possible.

Trump's National Insecurity and What We Can Do About It The Unconstitutional Iran Strike and Beyond–Publisher’s Roundup 23

Don't take your eye off the ball!

Trump's illegal Iran bombing isn't (just) about that country

It's also an effort to extend his autocratic ambitions here at home

Fortunately there are things we can do about that as I explain @contrariannews.org

If you commit Medicaid/Medicare fraud (even imaginary fraud), Republicans will try to punish you. Unless you do it on an HUGE scale, then they will reward you.

Not saying it’s unethical. I’m just saying that a discussion of the literature biz that excludes any sort of benefit (in this case, a royalty) to the people who created them is ironic in a tragic way. Our books go on without us.
