QP so I can pin this.
15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

funny, tho, that Ryan Lizza can speak derisively of Olbermann/Nuzzi relationship, while he (Lizza) is 19 years older than her. The ego and entitlement of the "haves" is really something to behold (i.e. see epstein files, too).

This should be getting nation wide coverage:

Erie is weighing a settlement over Redtail Ranch, a proposed development on land that includes a former toxic-waste site and former oil-and-gas operation. The town rejected it twice over health concerns. Council will revisit it Dec 9 with public comment. #ErieCO

I submit to both Houses of the US Congress a new Bill: Those who dodged the draft must never be allowed to run for, be appointed to, or serve in any capacity in any federal office. Those currently in office must be immediately relieved of duty.

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

Outrageous. These bigoted fucks always land on their feet. Thought it’d be funny to joke in a group chat of police officers about shooting up a migrant shelter, got fired when the story went public after a whistleblower, then rehired by other jurisdictions.

Incredible story.

In short: Even though the court ordered discovery based on the likelihood of vindictive and selective prosecution, we don't even need to get into it and you should dismiss the charges now given we just learned the DOJ lied to a judge about Costa Rica not accepting Mr. Abrego.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia's lawyers inform a federal judge about the Washington Post's bombshell: The government's claim that Costa Rica will no longer accept Abrego has been exposed as a lie.

More evidence—"if any were needed"—of vindictive prosecution.
