When corrupt Justices make corrupt decisions, then their corrupt decisions should become null and void. Then they should be held accountable for their corrupt ways.
MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.

The Trump regime wants us to forget that the Kent State massacre happened — that pitting the National Guard against American citizens is a recipe for disaster.
JUST IN: Judge Sooknanan ordered the government to file a status report by 4 pm to address whether the children have been deplaned. DOJ blew the deadline. Now she orders them to show cause why they didn’t file the report in time — and sets new 6:30 pm deadline.

This is Parker, she was shot in the head in Los Angeles for protesting ICE kidnappings and ethnic cleansing. She recovered and is now back to protesting because in times of fascism nobody can afford to do nothing. “We need everybody” “I call for revolution, it starts here” #3E
The lies' laughable implausibility is a feature, not a bug. They're not trying to convince discerning, skeptical, fact-based people. They're trying to give supporters a fantasy that validates their feelings and creates a sort of loyalty test, while flaunting the absurdity in everyone else's faces.
One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." - Ben Franklin
The plan is completely illegal; it’s openly in violation of black letter law. Nevertheless, the Trump admin is trying to claim that the budget bill effectively amended the law; even though it was a budget bill, and cannot by definition amend the law.
Modi meets Xi on his first trip to China since 2018
No surprise at all fascist loving @CBS shilling for sHitler.
Yes.
I’m serious. This REALLY infuriates me. @nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com @cnn.com Do your job. You failed to lift this up in 2024. If farmers are hurting, explain why and who is to blame. And remind Americans that we paid BILLIONS for Trump’s first tariff blunder. It’s so irresponsible to ignore this.
Su: The BLS collects statistical information — things like the nation’s inflation rate, the unemployment rate, the number of jobs created, which industries are growing, and which are contracting. And on every one of those fronts, Trump is failing.
For those asking, my American Revolution lecture course is free online here: oyc.yale.edu/history/hist...
"Vaden contends “every hectare” of increased ag production in Brazil comes from cutting down rainforests. Meanwhile, according to Vaden, American farmers are producing soybeans without harming the environment." And they pretend to actually care about the environment. I'm so sick of their hypocrisy.
"Vaden argues unfair trading practices by Brazil are tanking demand for U.S. soybeans. According to him, Brazil’s “unfair” trade practices have given it an advantage over U.S. producers." It's always the same old shit with these scumbags. Blame someone else. It's never Trumps fault.
Right. Same thing as 2020 [see below].Through 2 debates and a session on Economics in Chicago during the 2024 campaign I never heard a reporter bring up the cost of the 2020 tariffs & the bailout to farmers WE paid for to cover Trump’s tariff folly. I’m sick of it. www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)

Netanyahu is a war criminal
Netanyahu is restricting aid trucks into Gaza—the best way to get food to starving people there—so Jordan is delivering some with air drops. The Jordanians said @merkley.senate.gov & I could join one of those flights to see the devastation, but Israel denied authorization for our scheduled flight.

I wonder why Trump imposed secondary tariffs only on India for buying Russian oil while not caring about all the other countries who buy Russian oil?
Trump and the GOP are hellbent on killing our kids. Whether it’s no gun control or defunding pediatric brain cancer research/trials. Our kids deserve better than Trump and his feckless Republicans.

Trump dying in office after Biden lived through his term would be such an indictment of the press. Made “Biden Old” the top story, treating it as an uncovered secret, a scandal. Then lamented not covering it even more. All while treating “Trump Old” as a nonstory. Because he’s loud and lies a lot.
NEW: my office has received disturbing whistleblower reports that the Trump administration plans to separate 700 children from their families, lawyers, and support systems. Disappearing vulnerable children beyond the reach of American law and oversight is beyond depravity.
Sounds like Trump is getting ready to fire up his child sex trafficking ring again. It's probably what his meeting with Putin was all about.
Possible MAJOR news breaking next Wednesday. Watch this space. It is amazing and you’ll all be so excited. Lots of moving parts.

Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)
Philadelphia’s District Attorney Larry Krasner has suggested an effective playbook— We should arrest rogue ICE agents at the state level, which would shield them from a presidential pardon. This is the kind of hardline approach we need from our Democratic leaders.

You mean like how a bunch of Dems banded together to stab Biden in the back and throw him off the roof of the White House because "he was old" and had one bad debate, even though he did more for this country in three years than they will in their entire miserable lifetime?
What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”
Convicted felon, Donald Trump, is on a crusade to hurt Americans because there isn’t any other reason to explain why he is making immigration checks of firefighters who are IN THE MIDST OF BATTLING WILDFIRES a priority. Trump makes America less safe everyday.

Brett Meiselas: Israel’s assault on Gaza City has killed 61 in 24 hours, over 62K since it began, and injured 159K. Entire areas are leveled while propaganda claims “all is fine.” Propaganda tries to hide famine and devastation, but we must speak out against these genocidal actions.
In Michigan, we passed a red flag law, safe storage, universal background checks, and closed the domestic violence loophole. We CAN make change. But we won’t stop this epidemic of gun violence until we elect people at every level who view our kids and communities' safety as a priority.
Missouri voters overwhelmingly approved earned sick time last November. Governor Mike Kehoe and Missouri Republicans signed away that right. Corporations won. Working Missourians lost.  This is an actual email forwarded to me from an employee of a company removing earned sick time.
I have never seen so many public servants protest the mismanagement of a government. Trumpists will point to this as proof of the deep state, but the reality is that these are professionals who are desperately trying to get the public to understand how bad things are.
This is Dallas. She was spotted in a field with a cheese ball jar stuck on her head. After a two-day search effort, Dallas was found and treated for dehydration and ticks before going to a foster home to recover. And yes, the cheese ball company is covering her vet bills. 14/10 for all
Sounds like Trump might want to start keeping one eye over his shoulder, sleeping with one eye open, and maybe think about getting a food taster. He should make that food taster Jethro D Vance. Two birds with one stone?

Frey: "We need an assault weapons ban nationwide. We need to have a high capacity magazine ban. And if the federal govt and states aren't gonna act, give us the ability to protect our constituents. Give mayors & council members the ability to protect in Mpls 435,000 residents that call Mpls home."
Reuters repeating a falsehood here. Most of this money was already granted to intel under the chips act passed by Biden. The rest under other pre-Trump programs
Fixed it for her. Because REPUBLICANS are not going to do a damn thing about it.
Earlier this week, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife killed an endangered female wolf from the Sherman pack in a misguided attempt to prevent livestock attacks. Science shows killing wolves only worsens conflict. Why does WDFW keep ignoring the evidence?
Two of the slimiest members of Congress, James Comer and Nancy Mace, are harassing Wikipedia, which is a rare oasis of useful facts in an information ecosystem that's increasingly polluted by right-wing lies and oligarch-owned AI. Republicans see an informed public as a threat to their power. 1/🧵

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
JB Pritzker's speech about Trump's threats to Chicago was great. -Called out the lie, didn't treat the BS pretext with respect -Cast it as a threat to his state's people -Threatened prosecution of personnel who break the law @brianbeutler.bsky.social and @gregsargent.bsky.social break it down here:
Chicagoans will rally and march on Labor Day starting at 11 a.m. at the Haymarket Memorial to protest Trump's threat of a military occupation of the city. It's time to speak out. Join us.
This story is not getting nearly enough attention. A sting on a pedo ring pulled in an Israeli government official and the Trump Administration stepped in to set him free.
The Minneapolis shooter was apparently a fan of several mass murderers who were motivated by the same "Great Replacement Theory" that has pretty much taken over the Republican Party.
