And they may try to fool the public by handing the president a tariff defeat full well knowing it may actually help him in the polls.

Be not fooled, students of Marbury.
The Court did something good today. The Court is also responsible for the authoritarian mess we’re in, and has made it substantially worse over the past 6 months.

The Kansas City Chiefs are relocating from Missouri to Kansas and getting a new $3 billion stadium.

60 percent of it will be publicly funded — despite the owners boasting a nearly $25 billion net worth.

This isn't the first stadium scam we've seen recently...

The Education Department was investigating a Texas middle school for allegations that Black students were being harassed with racial slurs and monkey sounds.

Then Trump closed the civil rights division’s Dallas office, indefinitely stalling the case.

Across the country, communities are fighting back against Big Tech and preventing construction of power-hungry AI data centers in their backyards.

In response, Big Tech is launching an all-out lobbying blitz. https://youtu.be/imtkNL4v2ks?si=OabmXBYpoINwEDPD

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Speaker Mike Johnson says his entire worldview comes from the Bible.

But he’s about to kick 2 million Texans off their healthcare right before Christmas.

Trump and Republicans claim they want to "protect children."

But they've rolled back child labor laws and environmental protections, blocked gun safety reform, and spread lies about vaccines that save children from deadly diseases.
