Since Trump’s MAGA majority has controlled the Supreme Court, SCOTUS has overturned
42 years of precedent deferring to agencies
50 years backing a women’s reproductive rights
60 years of affirmative action
And-likely-a 90 year old case shielding the FTC
It’s the most radical Court in US history

#BREAKING: Over dissents from Justices Sotomayor, Kagan & Jackson, #SCOTUS grants a stay in the Slaughter case (allowing President Trump to remove the last Dem member of the FTC), *and* grants certiorari "before judgment" to decide whether to formally overrule its 1935 ruling in Humphrey's Executor.

Pentagon reporters can no longer gather or share information unless the government signs off first. And if they get away with it here, nothing is off limits next.

Meiselas: Brazil convicted Trump ally Jair Bolsonaro, sentencing him to 25+ years. Trump’s regime just retaliated by slapping Magnitsky Act sanctions on the judge’s wife and hitting Brazil with 50% tariffs—punishing U.S. farmers as China scoops up Brazil’s soybeans.

Retsef Levi has led off with two entirely false and EGREGIOUS statements:
1. That the facts about COVID19 vaccine safety and effectiveness is based on very low-quality data and analyses
2. That “vaccine injuries” ie adverse events are not being studied.
These are COMPLETE and UTTER lies.

Changing the name of the Department of Defense will cost billions.We could build units for all unhoused veterans. Or give service members a pay raise so 35K active duty members wouldn’t have to rely on food stamps. Or… or… or…

I also wrote a book on targeted killings carried out by the US and wow, as Nicholas points out, this is so far outside of any previously settled practice or norm. Absolutely, unambiguously abnormal and well into 'murder' territory by any established convention.
I’ve studied US drone strikes, I wrote a book called “Drones and Terrorism,” and this Caribbean strike is different.
Lethal fire at a non-threatening target in a non-hostile environment on purpose when other means, such as capture, were easily doable, and without even attempting a legal rationale.
