The fact that I know more about Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez’s 11-minute space trip than I do about Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito’s decades-long crime spree shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

With a 6 to 3 conservative majority, SCOTUS is far from liberal.
So when they rule against this administration’s unlawful deportations, it’s not partisanship—it’s a warning and a constitutional reality check.
Due process is a right, not a suggestion.
This administration can’t go on ignoring that.

You are going to hear a lot of candidates pledge to ban stock trading by members of Congress because it's so popular. 86% support in one poll I saw. Consistent across parties. The trick is to hold them to that pledge.

The crazy thing about humans is this:
We could provide food, water, shelter, healthcare, & education to everyone on earth.
The reason we don’t is because we’ve decided to put profits first.
That’s it.
The acquisition of bits of green paper over all else is a choice.
Greed is holding us back.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Now I'm aware this will upset a few but a vote for the NDP at this point is an absolute waste. The party is dead.
If you walk into a voting booth and check the box for a NDP candidate you mind as well give it to the CPC.
