The Roberts court is a handmaid to authoritarianism.

SCOTUS conservative justices upholding Texas gerrymander is yet another example of how Roberts court has greenlit the many undemocratic schemes of Trump and his party
They’ve now ruled for Trump and his allies in 90 percent of shadow docket opinions www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Expect Trump and gop to send paid agitators to the no kings protests to incite violence. They want an excuse to send military into streets to oppress, arrest and even kill us. This comes right from fascist playbook.
If Trump and GOP have their way this Saturday’s No king’s protest will be the last time we can legally protest.

SOYBEAN FARMER SOUNDS OFF: Trump’s trade war is crushing farmers. Now Trump is giving $20B to Argentina—the same country taking much of America’s soybean market.
Soybeans are the no. 1 cash crop in Tennessee.

Jayapal: It is a strange and bizarre time when we literally have a president thinking about plating the ballroom in gold—while he’s thrown 15 million Americans off healthcare, fired over 150,000 federal workers, and is threatening to fire even more if we go into a shutdown.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

John Deere announced that it will lay off over 200 workers, citing the economic uncertainty created by Trump's tariffs.
Workers aren't just paying more for everyday goods now because of tariffs, their jobs are also on the line.
It's a recipe for a bigger economic disaster.
