But the conservative “strict constructionists” on SCOTUS found presidential immunity in the Constitution. It’s right there in Article …No, not in any Articles. It’s in Amendment …No, not in any Amendment. It’s almost like they did what they always accused the libs of doing. bsky.app/profile/adam...

Biden: "I want to warn the country of some things that give me great concern. That's the dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultra wealthy people and the dangerous consequences if their abuse of power is left unchecked. Today, an oligarchy is taking shape"

Scoop: It wasn't just Jennifer Rubin who had differences with The WaPo. I'm told that Norm Eisen, who is exiting CNN to launch The Contrarian with Rubin, had similarly grown vexed by some of the network's editorial choices.

DEI or Die: Why Diversity Helps America and Makes Us Better

Republicans are blaming DEI for the wildfires in California and the domestic terror attack in New Orleans. But DEI, unlike MAGA's racism, will actually help America prosper and grow.

If we allow them to get away with this, red states around the country will copy this playbook. It’s complete voter disenfranchisement.
A serious constitutional crisis is taking place in North Carolina where Republicans are trying to steal a state Supreme Court election by disenfranchising 60,000 voters AFTER the count and recount have showed the Democrat won.

Los Angeles received just 0.16 inches of rain since May 2024, the second-driest period on record.

Wildfires are now engulfing the city in January.

But some politicians still claim the climate crisis is a "hoax" as they do the bidding of Big Oil.

"Alongside neo-Nazis staging marches, militia groups on the border have promised to lend their support over to sheriffs. It’s hard to tell the vigilantes from the law enforcement. But then again, in Trump’s America, isn’t that the point?"

I feel confident in predicting that unless one of the dead is a CEO, this will generate less than 8 hours of news coverage or until Trump tweets a shiny object for the legacy press to chase.
