Trump's no longer the only one feeding at the legalized-bribery and legalized-extortion trough—now Senate Republicans want in, too.

This New York Times article claims that the Supreme Court "has in recent years repeatedly bolstered religious rights." No, the Supreme Court has repeatedly bolstered *Christian* rights. This court DGAF about religious freedoms, just Christian nationalism.

One consistent conversation I had today with voters and volunteers was that so many of them want young people more involved and for people who don’t want to fight to step aside. Even in a solid blue county, they know we have got to build a deeper bench.

Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer should resign their leadership positions as soon as possible.
Their failure to so much as endorse Mamdani laid bare layers of incompetence. They are why Democrats have completely failed to combat Trump. The sooner they are replaced, the better.

I'm spreading good in my neighborhood. Everything helps.
I am 64 years old and FOR MOST OF MY LIFE two things were true:
- fascists were trying to take over the USA
- we were beating them
Those creeps are beatable. We beat them for decades. In the 30s they tried a form of MAGA and US beat them. The 50s? McCarthy purges. US beat them.
Do. Not. Doom.

Now that I found further information on this without a paywall, I guess I'm better informed. But it's horrifying to kill critters for any reason. (I was one of those who hated killing the Spotted Lanternfly but I took out a fair number of them.)
Worth reading about here — or elsewhere if you can't get past the paywall. It's a much more complex problem than you'd think from the headline.

This is the only acceptable outcome. Too bad they waited to see what other universities would do before coming to this conclusion.
