reminder that caldwell’s most recent book argues that the civil rights act of 1964 was something akin to a constitutional abomination that produced a world of white subordination

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.
Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

Did the United States really spend trillions of dollars on winning the Cold War, only for its president in 2025 take orders from a Russian dictator?
This is an earth-shattering humiliation for America of which its reputation may never recover.

How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

Trump is unpopular in Europe — even among right-wing populist supporters, POLITICO Poll shows

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

I’m extremely concerned by reports the Trump administration destroyed a facility during a covert action in Venezuela.
If this was done without Gang of Eight oversight, it’s a serious violation of federal law and a dangerous escalation that pushes us closer to war: www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Trump says the U.S. took out a 'big facility' in Venezuela amid strikes on alleged drug boats
The president did not provide details about the apparent strike, which NBC News has not independently confirmed.

If he dies in office, Vance will then be able to pardon them.
As near as I can tell, the best solution would be to impeach the entire cabinet and 5 Supreme Court Justices.

“Is he dead yet?” should be the first question asked at every White House press conference.
“OK, but it’s happening soon, right?” should be the second.
And then maybe “how fucked are you all once he’s dead and can’t pardon you anymore?” if they’re still at the lectern

Here's Trump giving more credence to the fear that Israel plans to remove Palestinians from Gaza and ship them to Somaliland, a self-declared country in the Horn of Africa that no UN member state recognizes – except for Israel.
Trump: "I heard that number today -- half of Gaza would leave. I've always said it. I said if they were given the opportunity to live in a better climate, they would move. We're helping the people of Gaza a lot. So is Israel, by the way."
