Why do we want AI to pre-read our internet searches? It is never ever helpful. (I can read, thank you.) - It is burning tons of petroleum willy nilly in a blind rush to do something-something-future-money. I am not at all appreciative. Fix the planet first, then make some future geegaws.

I think SCOTUS has declared Fascism trumps the Constitution,and it is hard to see a protest of several millions sway them from their crusade.
I'm still going to protest my ass off, of course.

2/3 of Europe survived the Black Plague. All the people who don't die from his wars, medieval healthcare, homelessness, or climate disaster will survive. No biggie.

The constitution is anti-maga and, therefore, is a treasonous document. Just ask John Roberts. He'll explain. I think the reason is either Jesus or Koch Industries.

Why bother with security? Doesn't he text/chat with all the super dictators, invite them into the oval, Camp David, Mar-a-magat? No one else will ever use this plane. Just accept it. Putin and Saudis and Israel set our policies. What secrets do we think they keep?
U.S. Sen. Duckworth (D-IL) on reports that security screening President Trump's Qatar plane would cost $1-2 billion:
"He’s accepting a bribe, which is unconstitutional and illegal ... going to cost taxpayers another billion dollars at a time when he wants to cut funding for Medicaid."

I'm already angry about any Dem MOC votes the eventual Big Bodacious Bill gets.

GOP tax bill on track to add more than $2.5 trillion to U.S. deficit. And, they are cutting Medicaid and food stamps, even with this huge increase in federal deficit, all to pay for a tax break for the wealthy.

Law fair. Do we have to return to pre-Bill of Rights spelling, too?

Question: does the legal authority still matter in America? Where is the legal authority to pick up people from the streets & make them disappear? Legal authority to pay for prison in El Salvador?
The legal authority is not essential, and if needed, John Roberts's court will readily grant it!

This is so important, and so well written. The GOP is fiercely organized at the grassroots level. The Dems will continue to see their superior candidates lose lose lose unless we do the work.
The Democrats want to target Texas's 15th Congressional district in 2026. YEEEY.
Then, because I want to know more about this, I started looking at the data from this district and that's when I want to SCREAM.
Here’s what we’ve been doing wrong and the opportunity to FIX IT AND WIN!

After years and millions working on rigging elections, they 'won bigly'. They are still working on 'election security'.
Mostly white, male landowners will decide our fates.
I'm terrified and furious and sad. Congress passes everything with Dem help. Why?????

'Segregated facilities' are no longer explicitly banned in federal contracts
The Trump administration cut a clause from federal contracting rules that had been on the books since the 1960s: Companies are no longer explicitly prohibited from having segregated facilities.

Stolen wealth is what they mean by superior genes. Diamonds, emeralds, and real estate get into the genome, apparently.
Wonder why the group who stole the entire wealth of a nation is fiscally positive when they emigrate.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
