Is the Democratic Party really not able to make an issue out of a conservative SCOTUS Justice taking bribes, a Justice who also voted that Congress can't investigate Jan. 6 because it could expose things his wife did, even as a majority of Americans are mad at SCOTUS for removing abortion rights?

In another time not long ago, Gov. Ann Richards of Texas made her position clear. “No government should interfere whatsoever in a woman’s decision about whether or not to have children.”

Trump is telling his followers that immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of the country. This is straight out of the Hitler playbook. It’s an open nod to white supremacy, and it has no place in our society.

Chevron deference requires courts to defer to govt agencies' reasonable interpretations of laws.
Koch backed groups are now calling on SCOTUS to overturn it — which would spell chaos for our environment.

God knows the cost of government drapes is the most important issue we face today. At last serious people are grappling with it.
Nikki Haley and Tim Scott were once political allies. But they bickered over the cost of gas and the price of drapes in a government office in fiery exchanges when pitted against each other during the Republican presidential debate on Wednesday.

I stand with the UAW, as I do the striking Hollywood writers and actors. Corporate profits are through the roof, as are CEO salaries. The people who actually make the goods and perform the services deserve their fair share.

The battle over abortion moves to the highways
A near-total ban on abortion evidently is not enough for some Texans obsessed with halting all such procedures anywhere, for nearly any reason.
