Note how in Abu Dhabi, Russia again rejected the ceasefire Ukraine agreed to almost a year ago. Ru doesn’t want peace. Journalists need to always front load this main point instead of talking about how the sides are still far apart as if they are equidistant and peace is in the middle.

This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.
Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

It's officially been one year of Trump breaking his campaign promises to the American people.
Here's what Trump's "America First" agenda looks like:
— Skyrocketing health care costs
— Biggest cut to Medicaid in history
— Higher costs under reckless tariffs
— Running Venezuela

I'm going to keep saying this in my effort to speak it into reality: Supreme Court should have at least 100 Justices with rotating panels (and maybe an en banc option). No single Justice should have so much power and they shouldn't be names everyone knows.
A court with a normal-ish conservative majority would have been tolerable. I'm not eager for court packing, impeaching justices, and other such options. But this court sticking around post-Trump is untenable. They've already torched their own legitimacy, the only question is what do we do about it.
Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now.
