How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

#Medsky What not to say to someone who has told you they just received a serious medical diagnosis that may lead to their death: "Well, we all have to die of something." Just got that from two people.

Their relationship with the president is not personal; their job is to report on who he really is, and provoking him to reveal himself lets them do their job even better. An insult is a confession in this context, and they might as well be field biologists documenting baboons doing baboon things.
An Insult Is a Confession: Notes on Journalism in the Time of Trump
There's been a lot of fuss about Trump recently calling female journalists "stupid" and "piggy" though there's nothing really new about his misogyny toward that sub-population (I am so old I remember ...

I had my first ever go at one of those round table talking heads sort of shows, and promised myself ahead of time that I wouldn't turn into a shouting head.

And then one of the panelists said something utterly silly... I didn't shout, but you might be able to hear my eyeroll.

Inflation isn’t all the same. When prices rise because demand is strong, firms earn more and can raise wages. With tariff-driven inflation, firms face higher costs, not higher revenues—so prices go up but paychecks don’t. Same pain, less gain.

I have said it many times before, but here goes: All autocrats get to extrajudicial executions eventually. Trump already has done so with the people in boats. Now he wants to extend it to American citizens who oppose his rule. Impeach, convict, remove!

Watch this.

Open your eyes to this brutality.

ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.

Now share this.

Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.

You have power.

Even sharing this video exerts that power.

How about a group of American citizen taxpayers sue the contractors doing the demolition of our taxpayer owned property? The contractors are complicit in an illegal operation. This would dissuade future contractors from just going along.

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare.

And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”
