The bought-and-paid-for Supreme Court agreed to take up whether to overturn a 90-year-old precedent that allows Congress to give certain agencies some independence from the White House. And of course, we can be certain they’ll rule in his favor, leaving us with no truly independent agencies.

The Supreme Court will consider expanding President Donald Trump’s power to shape independent agencies by overturning a nearly century-old decision limiting when presidents can fire board members.

A lot of people have questioned our No Kings crowd estimates. Most are citing a 5 million turnout, which is fair. It’s conservative and easy to verify. The media claims L.A. only had 25,000 people, but it doesn’t take much digging to see that number is very low.

She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound.
