Those on the high court often exercise caution in their choice of words. That is why it was striking when she used an audience of lawyers to deliver a stern message to the legal profession: stand up for democracy, take on the hard fights and do whatever you can to win.

All you need to know about Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson is that they're hawking anti-Biden books to MAGA now. As this administration works to destroy civil rights and civil society daily, *this* is their story. Moving product amidst the buy gold ads on Mark Levin. Prestige journalism, folks.

Donald Trump has reportedly spent $18 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration.
This is happening as he slashes the federal workforce, guts funding for vital programs, and tees up major cuts to Medicaid to pay for more tax cuts for the rich.

Schumer wants us to believe Senate Dems are powerless while literally providing the votes to ensure the GOP agenda goes forward.
If a shutdown was better for Trump, the House GOP wouldn't have passed this CR and the Senate GOP wouldn't vote for it.
Schumer knows that; he's outright lying to us.

Schumer: "For sure, the Republican bill is a terrible option. It is not a clean CR. It is deeply partisan. It doesn't address far too many of this country's needs. But I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option."
