Defending democracy is to protect the right of every person! It’s refusing to hand our future to authoritarians who want obedience instead of freedom, chaos instead of accountability.
They want us divided, discouraged and silent.
We will give them unity, defiance, and a hell of a lot of noise!

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

Craziest personal attack by one judge on another I've ever read in a judicial opinion. I would think starting out (and repeatedly throughout) slamming George Soros would tend to undercut the seriousness of one's argument but then again, this is written to MAGA hero Justice Alito, so ...
JERRY'S JEREMIAD: Judge Smith's invective-laden dissent from yesterday's Texas redistricting ruling is a journey — attacking the plaintiffs as pawns of George Soros, needling Gov. Newsom and skewering his colleague in personal terms.

You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

Not sure whether this photo or the one where his bulldozers destroy the East Wing is a better metaphor of Trump's Presidency
When you're a sociopath and get angry that someone else's medical emergency, just four feet away, drew focus from your gloating and you forget which lie you were on.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.
When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.
