In an under-the-radar case in the federal courts, a small bipartisan group of former members of Congress and veteran lawmakers have found some quirks in the law that could put them on the brink of winning more money for themselves and the new congressional generation. https://wapo.st/4tPBX97

Jesse Jackson’s Timeless Economic Platform He ran for President twice on the concerns that still define American political life—inequality, affordability, and vanishing jobs.

Jesse Jackson, who died last week at the age of 84, was renowned for his soaring rhetoric and his role in the civil-rights movement. But what first struck John Cassidy about Jackson “was his boundless energy and self-assurance,” he writes. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/Nr2m4J

I think we found out why Donald Trump is so obsessed with Greenland.

No tariff refunds to taxpayers? I was going to use my tariff refund to put a down payment on a 15 year auto loan and a 50 year mortgage.

So the court that granted the guy presidential immunity ruled against him. So when he defies them, there will be no consequences.

I don't understand how this man is still president.

I still don't understand how this isn't the headline everywhere. If Biden or Obama said the words, "I'm allowed to destroy the country" Fox News would be giving tips on where to buy pitchforks and torches.

Remembering John Lewis on what would have been his 86th Birthday.

“Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America.”

Color photograph of Coretta Scott King wearing a red jacket, seated in front of a large portrait of Martin Luther King Jr. Overlaid text reads: “Freedom is never really won. You earn it and win it in every generation.” Her name, Coretta Scott King, appears beneath the quote.

Coretta Scott King understood something history keeps proving true. Freedom is never finished. Every generation must defend it.

She turned loss into purpose and kept fighting when the world expected her to step back.

Leader. Strategist. Movement architect.

Black History. Always. 🖤

Susan Collins hands Trump the 50th vote against free and fair elections When it comes to free and fair elections, Collins is as conservative and anti-voting rights as they come.

Collins stood silently in the Oval Office clutching a red MAGA hat as Trump told lies about our elections and repeated his call for the federal government to take over vote counting in certain parts of the country. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...

Is the rest of the Epstein files in there?

Evil beyond comprehension. It took down a member of the Royal Family. Foreign media now reporting details of the Epstein Files while U.S. media still protects Trump. But they can't hide the truth forever. Will the GOP stick with a child rapist who threatened to kill his victims? #TrumpEpsteinFiles

‘Grey's Anatomy’ and ‘Euphoria’ star Eric Dane has passed away at 53.

Over in the Bad Place, people keep trying to get Grok to disagree with my summary of the Save America Act, but Grok keeps telling them I’m right. #NoOnSave #ProtectOurData 1/

We know that Trump is going to repeat the “I’ve been exonerated on Epstein” line every single day forever because that’s what he does.

Would it be totally outrageous for someone then to simply ask him who it was that exonerated him so we can get some clarification on that?

Apparently, many people need to be reminded that raping children is a far more heinous crime than illegal immigration.
