also gave us:
Barrett Deaths (women dying in hospital parking lots)
Gorsuch Grime (pollution from now-unregulated industry)
Clarence/Alito Bribes (magically-legitimized bribery)
Roberts Ethics (lack of ethics codification, lack of ethics in general, loyalty to Trump over Constitution)
Awesome for US

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

The American Economy is suffering from Acute Kleptocracy Exposure Syndrome: ICD-$

Onset: minutes after contact with goons, grifters, and tech bros.

Symptoms may include:
• fainting spells from being bled dry
• widespread malaise
• elevated inequality

Treatment: strong doses of civic engagement
Donald Trump stands behind his desk not looking at a guy passed out near him with other people huddled around. They’re labeled “private equity”, “crypto”, “big Tech” and “AI”, and the passed out guy on the floor is labeled “American Economy”.

The grand jury refused to indict felony charges so DOJ brought a misdemeanor. The trial jury acquitted—note: that means that every single person on the jury voted for acquittal. There wasn’t even a single vote to convict. joycevance.substack.com/p/prosecutor...

Indeed. The Pope might want to have a chat with Cardinal Dolan, who seems to be in full support of the cruelty of this regime. Sickening

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:

'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S.
“Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

Intuit spent decades and millions lobbying to stop the IRS from letting Americans file taxes for free. They called it “protecting innovation.” What they really protected was $3 billion in profits.

Rep. Jason Crow: "Trump and Republicans were the ones that shut this government down because they froze us out of negotiations. They literally recessed the House of Representatives over a month ago and haven't even opened the doors, so we can't even debate, vote, or negotiate."
