Please don't overreact to the SCOTUS SAVE database decision today Page 6 of the decision makes clear that we are in the 90 day statutory window when mass changes cannot be made to voter lists! Yeah it's a shit decision for the reasons the 3 dissenters say but we can deal with it. More to come...

It’s funny how we’ve treated the tax cap as a hard physical constant of the universe rather than a policy choice from 1985. We’re basically running a modern economy on a legacy OS that hasn't been patched in forty years.

$4 BILLION. That’s how much the Trump Administration has now spent paying companies to cancel offshore wind projects that would have lowered your electric bill. Yes, you heard that right: they are PAYING to keep more energy off the grid and your bills higher.

Most of the corruption perpetrated by the Trump admin would not be possible without the complicit enabling of the Republican majorities in the House and Senate. The only way to put any check and balance on this out of control regime is to vote them out in November.

👀 Spot-on review of the sinister, shameless legacy of questionably alive Mitch McConnell by @paulwaldman.bsky.social at @atrupar.com's PN: 🧾 t2m.co/yLVwhzsL Mitch's signature move was time-blocking the Merrick Garland SCOTUS nomination, but it's emblematic of his lasting strategy *out of the gate*.
The first key moment came when Barack Obama was elected in 2008. Though Obama had won a sweeping victory and the country was in the midst of a catastrophic economic crisis, McConnell told his caucus they had a path back to power: Obstruct everything Obama tried to do, regardless of whether Republicans had any substantive objections to it. Only if they forced Obama to fail could they retake power.

If it seemed like the parties were working together, he explained, Obama would get the credit; if all the public saw was gridlock and nasty infighting, the president would get the blame.

BTW, this is how vouchers have ALWAYS worked when implemented. (1) Almost all the vouchers go to families already privately schooling their kids. (2) Once the vouchers are a thing, the private schools hike their tuition so that the few poors who get vouchers still can't afford them. #Segregation

"In the US, especially among the elites that ought to be leaders, people are hiding because of what Trump can do to them. They're complying in advance, not standing up because they’re afraid. But once there are too many of you for the govt to do bad stuff to each of you, it’s almost like immunity."
