“This Supreme Court will never condemn this President, even for delegitimizing the federal judiciary.”
Judge Luttig offers a stark and scathing view of the Court’s willingness to limit Trump’s “unconscionable & unconstitutional” power grab.

🧵 There are a lot of misleading claims out there about the SAVE Act. Let me set the record straight: I voted for the SAVE Act for the simple reason that American elections are for Americans. Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is common sense.

Q:
Why is it so much easier for the US right to organize and be unified than the US left?
A:
Anti-Black racism.
The only consistent thing that the right agrees on, is this. It's what unifies them. But the US left is very anti-Black too! So they try to get the benefits, without helping Black folk.🤷🏿♂️

people are telling me that I need to speak to WW in a way they can relate to because 54% of WW voted for Trump.
The Handmaid's Tale premiered in 2017. The majority of WW voters in 2020 and 2024 voted Trump.
Time to let go of the idea that it is nonwhite people's responsibility to hold WW's hand.

Please stop comparing everything to the Handmaid’s Tale. The Handmaid’s Tale was a story centered on a white woman who clearly was middle to upper middle class. That is not going to be the tale of the primary poor people of color who will bear the brunt of these policies in this country. Stop it.

It calls for $1.5 trillion spending cuts, with addt’l caveat: House package has to include $2 trillion in cuts to “mandatory” part of federal spending, which covers programs like Medicare, Medicaid & food benefits (SNAP), or $4.5 trillion amount in tax breaks must be reduced by commensurate amount.

No they're not. They know exactly what they're voting for: The continued dismantling of our public health system. That's what they want. You know this. Why do we have to do this playacting goldfish brain shit every time.
By voting to confirm RFK Jr., the Senate “is wagering the future of our public health system on a prayer that a conspiracy theorist can build back up the agencies that he and his supporters have spent years breaking down,” Nicholas Florko writes.
RFK Jr. Won. Now What?
