Current SCOTUS is so obviously opposed to the 14th amendment.
It appears that the project is to erase all of the Reconstruction Amendments.

Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns.
Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.

No, really, I want to hear about the operational decisions that led the US military to target a civilian vessel loaded with people but which couldn't successfully sink the equivalent of a cruise ship lifeboat. I want all the details there, please.

Conway: This is a criminal government. Unless you are willing to say that, you’re basically fighting on their terms. They get to lie, and they win that battle because people say, “We shouldn’t use that kind of language.”
But you get to use that language when it’s fucking true.

There is virtually no fed criminal law for wealthy people in America right now. Doesn’t exist. Trump’s DOJ either drops their charges or he pardons them. Anyone can buy their way out of prison for the right price on any charge, with crime victims left shattered with no justice.

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

Pete Hegseth Should Be Charged With Murder
No matter how you look at the strikes on alleged “drug boats”—as acts of war or attacks on civilians—Hegseth has committed a crime and should be prosecuted.

The fact that 12% of federal judges are Black shows the corruption of DEI. The fact that 67% of Supreme Court Justices belong to a small legal cult called the Federalist Society shows the power of meritocracy.
