These motherfuckers on the Supreme Court keep scooping up every one of Trump’s cases, ruling in his favor, and reversing anything that holds him accountable. He’s got the DOJ and the Supreme Court sitting in his pocket. The entire judicial system is fucked and they’re not even pretending anymore.

Wow! The Supreme Court basically just said, if you want to do racial gerrymandering, have at it.
Let’s be clear, what Texas did was racial gerrymandering, plain and simple. SCOTUS just opened the floodgates.

When Bezos changed the Washington Post's editorial board standards to align with “personal liberties and free markets,” he meant his own liberty to become even richer and more powerful, as the rest of America slides into worse economic insecurity and fear.
The Washington Post editorial board railed against a wealth tax without noting its owner, Jeff Bezos, stands to benefit more from its tax policy prescriptions than nearly anyone else on the planet.

You aren’t going to believe this. But there’s an important distinction between detaining someone as a law enforcement action in an interdiction and summarily killing them.
If the US Coast Guard stops a ship in international waters and seizes their cocaine, is that a war crime? The ship has not done anything illegal. Should we prosecute the Coast Guard Captain for piracy?

Everyone in this photo should be kidnapped by masked men, jailed with their family unable to find out where they are, & and flown to a country they’ve never heard of & have no connection to.
When that’s done, we can talk about detaining Somalis in MN. And the answer will still be “no.”

MUST WATCH: A U.S. citizen in medical scrubs on her way to work was yanked from her car and thrown to the ground by ICE in Key Largo. She told them over and over she was a citizen.
They ignored her until they finally checked her license — and realized she was telling the truth the entire time.

There is no East Wing. Trump claims they’re saying “MERRY CHRISTMAS again”. Melania’s theme is “Home Is Where The Heart Is”, and the menorah that President Biden added to the White House is no longer on display.
