Houses are expensive because billionaires gobble up homes and fix the rent or turn them into Airbnbs. The billionaires want you to think immigrants are buying up all the property.

The conservatives on the court are not originalists or conservatives. They are opportunists, Project 2025 supporters, and enablers.

Today’s “One First” tackles the grant of certiorari in one of the birthright citizenship cases, and then Justice Kagan’s TX redistricting dissent—“yet another warning about the majority’s seeming willingness to do … whatever it wants, at least where rulings on emergency applications are concerned.”
196. Justice Kagan's Texas Redistricting Dissent
As unsurprising as the Supreme Court's intervention in the Texas redistricting case may have been, Justice Kagan's dissent is still a telling indictment of another emergency ruling that lost its way.

Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.

Whether you consider yourself conservative or liberal, Republican, Democrat, or Independent, read this! The only way to prevent government trampling our rights is to hold government accountable. @vermontgmg.bsky.social
Trump's secret police vandalize houses and cars, assault citizens, fire potential lethal weapons for the hell of it, and assault children, often as sexual predators... and claim impunity for all of this. CATO proposes the fix. In the meantime it's essential to document all these crimes rigorously.

Women of America: you can be sure that if Trump hisses “Quiet Piggy” to a female reporter who asked a very reasonable question, he has absolutely NO respect for women in general.
The only way he’ll “get it” is if you vote Republicans out of office, every chance you get.

1/Catherine Lucey, the White House correspondent for Bloomberg, asked Donald Trump about releasing the Epstein files on Air Force One over the weekend. In response, Trump leaned forward, slashing an accusatory finger her direction and barked, “Quiet! Quiet Piggy,” at her.
