Democracy depends on a fearless and free press.

Corporations or ultra-wealthy individuals with many other business interests should not be allowed to control our media.

They cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own financial interests.

Kimmel wurde nicht wegen seiner Aussagen abgesetzt, sondern weil Trump ihn loswerden wollte und ABC/Disney eingeknickt sind. Präzise Sprache – so wichtig.

Wo sind nun eigentlich diejenigen, die in Deutschland und Österreich so lautstark über angebliche #CancelCulture und Gefährdung der #Meinungsfreiheit durch LinksLiberalWokeDings jammerten?

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold children for sex without rich perverts buying children for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.

If the reason sitting presidents can’t be prosecuted for crimes is that it might distract them from the job of being president — then maybe they shouldn’t be allowed to file frivolous lawsuits either.

This will have to count as my Supreme Court term review.

I make that point that there's no point in reviewing what the Supreme Court has done because the rule of law is dead in this country anyway.

My latest in @thenation.com
The Rule of Law Is Dead in the US
The rule of law presupposes that there are rules that provide a consistent, repeatable, and knowable set of outcomes. That’s no longer the case.

So the Mar-a-Lago aesthetic as standard for public appearance functionally bars women under 40 from public appearance, if those women meet far right reproductive expectations, which is rinse-and-repeat childbirth from teen years (menarche, really, in some corners) to menopause.

Excited for next year when I get to read a law professor’s op-ed about how the court’s 6-3 decision allowing Trump to vacate Rosie O’Donnell’s citizenship is in fact consistent with existing article 2 jurisprudence.

Pam Bondi in February: The Epstein client list is sitting on my desk right now to review.

Pam Bondi today: There is no Epstein client list and no "further disclosure" of Epstein-related material "would be appropriate or warranted."

I had to read this twice to believe it...Meloni, who ran for office on an anti-immigration platform, has now announced plans to let in hundreds of thousands of immigrants, in order to deal with the Italian labor shortage

Italy to issue half million non-EU work visas over next three years
The move is part of a strategy to expand legal immigration channels in response to labor shortages.

Re Zohran’s grocery store plans- the government already runs discount grocery stores ALL OVER THE WORLD.

They are called commissaries and they are on every US military base.

No one has ever had a problem with their existence

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952
