The thing about the Roberts Court is they're not evil geniuses, because they're not geniuses.

“More than three dozen federal judges have told The New York Times that the Supreme Court’s flurry of brief, opaque emergency orders in cases related to the Trump administration have left them confused about how to proceed in those matters and are hurting the judiciary’s image with the public.”

More than 23 million Americans are currently enrolled in Obamacare plans, and nearly all of them will face higher health care costs next year if extra federal funding for subsidies expires, as scheduled, on Dec. 31.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

@repstansbury.bsky.social: "This is gangster activity. The president is trying to shield pedophiles by calling and threatening members of Congress. We need more members of Congress, whether it's the Epstein files, the shutdown, health care, democracy, the rule of law, to just fucking do their jobs."

Schatz: They’re stopping wind and solar because this guy has some very strange ideas about the energy mix. And it’s consistent with the rest of his political and economic philosophy — if there’s less of everything, it gives him more authority to dole out favors

We MUST seriously reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. It's a no-brainer. Energy from solar, wind, and wave motion is CLEAN, LIMITLESS, and FREE. (There is some initial set-up expense, but there is VERY LITTLE maintenance involved and the hardware will pay for itself MANY times over.)

He’s sounding as unhinged as his boss lately.

Tweet from Really American: “BREAKING: In an insane moment, the Speaker of the House frames the upcoming ‘No Kings’ protest march as a ‘Hate America’ event, irresponsibly calling folks who oppose fascism ‘pro-Hamas.’ We found that ‘violent rhetoric’ Republicans have criticized.”
Below, a screenshot from Fox News shows Rep. Mike Johnson speaking with the U.S. Capitol in the background.

If you look closely, you can see signs of GOP lawmakers fearing the long-term political consequences of paying more attention to Trump's demands than to the voices of their own constituents - or consciences.

Trump’s deployment of military troops into our cities is unlawful — and unacceptable.

This is a threat to our freedoms and our democracy.

Kudos to all NO KINGS participants!

This is a LONG battle for hearts & minds.

GOP thugs try to persuade with fear & intimidation. They have lies, corruption, greed & hate on their side

WE persuade with FACTS & TRUTH. We have law, right, morality & inclusion on our side

PERSIST & we will win.

When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode.

Pedal to the floor.
