A politician’s job is to make the political case to voters. And few do it better than Rep. McGovern.

Never forget that Lisa Murkowski—who claimed to hate the bill and believe that her vote ensuring it would clear the Senate merely served to send it back to the House for changes, following which it would return to the Senate—absolutely knew her party is a cult and that the bill was never coming back

The Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision reverses a precedent set in a unanimous decision by the court in 1935 and now says the president can fire heads of independent agencies like the FTC or NLRB.
Except for the Fed. Why? Because tanking the stock market is where the conservative judges draw the line

Supreme Court allows Trump to fire members of independent agency boards — for now
At issue is President Trump's firing of NLRB member Gwen Wilcox, who still has three years left on her term, and Cathy Harris, who still has four years left on her term as a member of the MSPB.

Justice Amy Coney Barrett recused herself. That leaves at least one conservative justice who must have joined the progressives. The OK Supreme Court rulings stands. 👏

This thing that’s happening is not normal.
I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison.
It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

First they came for the innocent man deported to a Salvadoran gulag on an “administrative error” they falsely claim they’re powerless to reverse, flouting court orders even from the Supreme Court — and I spoke out, because I know how the damn poem ends.

Similarly, my boomer parents said the Feminist & Labor movements were fine at their inception but went too far. 😒
"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night.
So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

Props to the Mavs fans who had something to say last night.
Any reasonable owner fires Nico Harrison tonight. I mean, any reasonable owner fires him when he brings up that he's trading Luka Doncic. But he should be fired right now. The team is literally not going to come back from this. Almost every Mavs fan I know is now a Lakers fan.
