Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy?

Our new concentration camps?

Our dying economy?

Our ditching due process?

Our corruption?

Our broken Congress?

Our corrupt Supreme Court?

Our ridiculous buffoon President?

NEW: SCOTUS shoots down a federal judge’s effort to protect eight men from being expelled—without due process—to South Sudan, where they face torture and death.

Dissenting, Sotomayor says the court’s “indefensible” decision makes it complicit in “lawlessness.” www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

✅ freeze the rent in rent regulated apts (~2M NYCers benefit) Mayor controls.
✅ deliver fast buses. Mayor largely controls streets, can speed buses

Andrew Cuomo gets publicly humiliated. Bill Clinton learns his endorsement is worth less than dogshit. What a great time to be a hater. A golden age.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.
