Correct.

The Roberts Court is anti-constitutional and quite frankly the 6 Justice majority are seditious conspiracy against the United States. Their rulings amount to criminal vandalism & sabotage of the judicial branch, and the sooner we face that fact, the better.

"The president has already announced that if a judge does rule against him, he will invoke the Insurrection Act and then continue the military deployments. This is where we’ve been headed since January 6, 2021.”

We aren’t at the worst-case scenario yet. But if you squint, you can see it looming out there, just over the horizon.

Yes, Democrats created all of these programs

And, to paraphrase Lawrence O’Donnell from The West Wing

Conservatives opposed them on every one of those things

Every. One.

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the Bronx and Harlem at our paper shredding events — we cleared out old junk mail, built community, danced, took family portraits and enjoyed frozen treats (it still felt a lot like summer). Thanks to everyone who joined.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

We don't live in the United States of America anymore. We live in Donald Trump's America; a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trump Organization.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

The Trump administration told Gov. Pritzker that Lake Michigan is the border with Canada. That's why Border Patrol is being allowed to operate in Chicago.

I'm from Michigan, so I guess I am Canadian now.

Biggest story here is CNN's complicity in covering it up. And Miller is a Nazi.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

The Israelization of the United States of America

Birds of a feather, do fascism together. American cities are getting a taste of what Palestinians endure under brutal Israeli occupation as the Trump Administration arms for martial law.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.
