Corporations aren’t people, money isn’t free speech, and we need to End Citizens United. Repost if you agree.

Serious question. Bondi said the other day that there were "disgusting" tapes of children being abused. Has anyone questioned her further? If there are recordings, it seems to me that a client list could be culled by identifying the rapists.

Ruiz: Why did the report include citations that don’t exist? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions in that report are accurate Ruiz: How can they be accurate if they did not exist?

Yes, but the problem is the number of Trump's unconstitutional/illegal acts. It's virtually impossible to focus on just one for any length of time.

Also, when they viewed the poor and middle class by their economic status first and their identities secondary.

There are many complicated explanations for why Dems have spent 50 yrs losing lots of elections, but theres also a simple one: Dems were a majority party for decades when they championed New Deal-ism & they became a losing party when they sided with money & discarded that legacy

A rogue president with a loyal DOJ isn’t unstoppable, unless we act like peasants. Courts can stop him. States can sue him. Whistleblowers can expose him. But it takes all of us, loud, sharp, fed up. Power bends to pressure. So push. Hard. Clean House with your votes, or get steamrolled. Our call.

(Reuters) - Food rations that could supply 3.5 million people for a month are mouldering in warehouses around the world because of U.S. aid cuts and risk becoming unusable, according to five people familiar with the situation. www.reuters.com/world/us-aid...

Exclusive: US aid cuts leave food for millions mouldering in storage
The food stocks have been stuck inside four U.S. government warehouses since the Trump administration's decision in January to cut global aid programs.

I am utterly baffled by the highlighted part, which isn't even a quote from the Supreme Court's order. What are they doing?!
Defendants’ Response to Interrogatory No. 1: Defendants object to
Interrogatory No. 1 as based on the false premise that the United States can or has
been ordered to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador. See
Abrego Garcia, 604 U.S.—, slip op. at 2 (holding Defendants should “take all available
steps to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia to the United State”) (emphasis added).
Defendants further object to Interrogatory No. 1 as calling for information that is
protected by the attorney-client privilege, the deliberative process privilege, the state
secrets privilege, and the governmental privilege. Defendants incorporate their
objections to definitions and objections to instructions.

CNBC's Steve Liesman doesn't mince words about the way the White House calculated its tariff rates: "Nobody ever heard of this formula. Nobody has ever used this formula. So I’m sorry, but the conclusion seems to be the president kind of made this up as he went along... these are off the charts."

FUCK YOU to every publication, starting with the New York Times, that took the bogus "Hillary's Emails" story seriously and tried to convince the public that the 2016 election should turn on it. Fuck all of you people. You are destroying this country and I hope you pay a price for it. Go to hell.

Not the first person to make this observation, but it's so striking how the media covered the crack epidemic as a problem caused by black/urban drug users and the fentanyl epidemic as a problem imposed externally on white/rural drug users.
