I don't want to buy more insurance products, I want the society I contribute to to provide commensurate exchanges and protections.

I’m surprised they don’t have their tail on a fifth. Go big or go home.

John Roberts could've said the govt must get Garcia out of the Salvadoran principle they sent him to while SCOTUS determines if the govt violated his rights, as the district court ruled.

Or Roberts could block that court order and leave Garcia there while SCOTUS adjudicates.

He picked the latter.

This is reminiscent of the Plessy v. Ferguson court. Not good.

Corey Booker has been going at it for almost 24 hours and
he hasn't even had to pull out a copy of 'Green Eggs and Ham' yet.

When Corey Booker was Mayor of Newark he joined us at NBC for a Hurricane Sandy Benefit. His security guy was a friend of mine and told me they had been up for almost 48 hours delivering supplies to constituents.

Cory Booker and other Democrats have held the Senate floor for over 24 hours and in about 20 minutes will have relegated strom thurmond to the dustbin of history as a racist who couldn't even manage to hold a record.

GOP bill could ban hairdressers from giving gender-nonconforming haircuts to minors - LGBTQ Nation The bill would allow anyone to sue someone who affirms a young person's transition, and it specifically mentions hairstyles.

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at.

A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth.

HAIRCUTS.

This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Threatening to impeach judges who check your power is proof you need judges checking your power.
