Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity.
Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute.
Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections.
But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents.
The legacy of the Roberts court.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.
Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.
That’s not making America great again.

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell'
A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

Trump—Mr. Art of the Deal—hasn’t been able to cut a deal for the most basic government functions.
Republicans bowed down to Trump, and now people all across this country will suffer.
I ask my Republican colleagues to grow a spine and stand up for Americans.

I really don’t understand how Johnson can keep his job. Clearly he’s not performing his job.

Something the Democrats could do is to propose a vote of no confidence for the Speaker and get Johnson out. I bet there would be enough Republicans to vote Yes. Any alternative has to be better.
Dean: The president is unhinged
Johnson: A lot of folks on your side are too. I don’t control him
Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals.
Johnson: I didn’t see it.
Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.

At least the public outcry against the Trump EPA plan gives me a little hope that ALL of the work we’ve accomplished over the last 50 years. But at this point it’s tough to believe the WILL OF THE PEOPLE can actually any of the republicans.
Experts and members of the public voiced overwhelming opposition to the US EPA’s plan to rescind its key greenhouse gas “endangerment finding” and vehicle emissions standards.
Public commenters overwhelmingly oppose EPA’s plan to curtail key climate protections
The question is, does it matter?

This rhetoric is so disgusting. I felt safe as a resident of DC for over 20 years. Certainly crime went up and down, the same as in every city. But a handful of people who don’t leave Capitol Hill should not have any say in the governance of DC. #DCStatehood NOW.

I think the idea that “The President is simultaneously an institution beyond the reach of criminal law and also a private person who can file $10 billion defamation suits when he dislikes a news article” is not very sensible.

And it’s such ridiculously simple math. Why is it so hard for our elected officials get this right.
The yearly pay at the federal minimum wage:
$15,080
The average yearly cost of a 1 bedroom apartment in the United States:
$17,340
We need living wages and lower housing costs. This is not sustainable.

We’re on track for 4C within his lifetime.

This is such an important talking point. An argument from the right is that solar and wind shouldn’t be subsidized because the market should support them. Fossil fuel has always been subsidized in the US at our expense. We need more support for clean energy and efficiency!
In 2022 government fossil fuel subsides reached $7,000,000,000,000.
In 2024 Earth was hotter than it has been in about 125,000 years.
THESE. THINGS. ARE. CONNECTED.

Blame is not helpful after tragedy hits. But it’s clear that more staff and investment can help minimize those losses. What’s clear is that we need to double down investments in weather modeling, communication and early warning systems, resilience and mitigation so this NEVER happens again.

Trump’s economic plan: Tax cuts for everyone, massive new spending for defense & ICE, no serious spending cuts (except for health care, education, jobs, & clean energy), record deficits, massive tariffs, reduced exports, but Trust in Trump it will all work out eventually somehow.

You know how Trump often tells on himself? Has anyone investigated Trumps use of the auto pen in his first term?
Q: Have you uncovered evidence that anything was signed without Biden's knowledge?
TRUMP: I don't think Biden would know
Q: I'm asking if you've uncovered any information
TRUMP: No. But I've uncovered the human mind. I was in a debate with the human mind.
