Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

Things are still down, but trending upwards. The #NoKings marches were a huge success, Russia's economy is literally on fire, and the infection control leaders who blew off scientists in the infamous "very big mistake" and botched COVID are about to fall off the last line of the narcissist's prayer.

This got missed in all the happy protest posting yesterday, but the NYT continues to do revelatory work on the life and career of Jeffrey Epstein. Here’s another very, very wealthy man giving E lots of money for services of uncertain value.

The UK fired their ambassador to the US over his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Meanwhile, Epstein’s best friend remains the President of the United States.

According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago.
8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois.
And yet Trump is sending troops here.

As expected. Noted antivaxxer Geier, who has had many retractions in the lit and was fined for practicing medicine without a license, is who Kennedy hired to "find the cause of autism."

The idiocy of this memo. Thank goodness IL Gov Pritzker has consistently raised his voice against Trump’s authoritarian moves and the direction it is moving the nation. Dems can listen to him for free, vs Blue Rose.
Democrats’ favorite research firm told them to avoid discussing Trump’s “rising authoritarianism” and focus on tariffs instead.

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

What Moran reported was demonstrable fact. Indisputable fact. Yet they suspend him.

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it.
