Our government is now paying Middle East allies $5B (of our money) to enhance their energy infrastructure to adapt to a world where the Strait of Hormuz is no longer consistently open. This is an acknowledgment of a humiliating loss to Iran.

Thom Tillis, Bill Cassiday, and John Cornyn had moments of clarity where they had a spine once or twice. And yet after getting railroaded for it, they still can’t bring themselves to do the right thing. And these guys are supposed to be….”the good ones?”

Susan Collins proved last night that she is a prototypical creature of Washington who can’t bring herself to retire because she doesn’t want to have to think about all the wreckage she has caused.

Corporate capture of the political system halts innovation and leads to low growth. It entrenches elite corporate interests, keeps wealth locked at the top, and smothers risk-taking, job creation, and small business. And then the economy suffers.

That they can reliably guess how this Court will rule is not law or justice — it’s evidence of a rigged system. Supreme Court docket for Suncor v. Boulder County: www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?...

Yesterday SCOTUS heard arguments on whether we can sue oil companies for climate change. We all know they are responsible; and so do they. That’s why they rushed to their “Big Daddy” Supreme Court to try to argue they are not.

Sam Altman is the most inept, incapable, foot-in-mouth spokesperson for his own industry in the history of business. He should continue his public statements as often as possible.

- allowing religious schools to discriminate against gay people - reduce homeless services for trans kids We know how these cases will end because we have seen this movie before. This Court is begging to be reformed.

Today is the first day of the new Supreme Court term. And as this Court has done in years past, they will once again seek to mainstream conservative fantasies into law, including: - establishing a 2A right to AR15s - saying we can’t sue oil companies for climate change

The pace at which they have unsettled decades of American law in just the last few years is completely inconsistent with the American legal tradition. Just last term, they:

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to continue on its current trajectory and still expect Americans to have faith in the rule of law.

The Constitution is clear that Congress can to regulate the Court, including its size and jurisdiction. Statements like this reflect how the Court has been acting — that it is above the Constituion rather than within it. He is a living embodiment of the problems with lifetime appointments.

If Sam Alito retires before 2029, the Senate must not confirm a replacement. Period.

In Rucho v. Common Cause (2019), SCOTUS even found gerrymandering to be problematic but refused to do anything about it.

Jonathan Dean @dean4il.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Reminder that SCOTUS is directly responsible for the political extremism and instability of the past two years because it could have stopped Republican gerrymanders, it refused, and those gerrymanders resulted in Republicans barely winning the House in 2024. SCOTUS must be reformed.

Echoing the recent words of AOC: So many elite institutions have proven themselves to be incubators for sexual predators: - Catholic Church; - Fraternities; - Religious organizations; - Private Schools; - Boy Scouts; and - Collegiate athletic departments.

Predators and perpetrators will always gaslight their victims that there “was nothing wrong” with what happened. They prey upon the victim’s shock and trauma to try to disorient the victim’s memory of the traumatic experience. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/n...

How a Cornell Student Went From Shame to Action

The woman known as “Jane Doe” was initially embarrassed about what happened at a fraternity party in 2024, but soon concluded: “I was assaulted.”

It’s insane that so many US Senators — some of the most powerful people in our country — are so morally weak that all they do is grovel to the worst POTUS in history.

What’s going to happen when one of these AiAgents goes rogue and actually causes significant damage to the economy or people’s lives? These Tech bros can’t just be like “oh, sorry, yea, we’ll work on that.” No — this is why we have a government and regulations.

The thing to remember about Eric Schmitt and Katie Britt is that they planned this out in advance. This plot was hatched, passed several layers of internal review, was approved by Schmitt and Britt and no one caught the obvious mistake. These people are making decisions about our future.

Eric Schmitt shouldn’t even be mopping the floors in the Senate.

Jonathan Dean @dean4il.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Excusing elected officials who spout outrageous lies as “just politics” is immoral and must end. This attitude keeps clowns in office who don’t take the job seriously and don’t care about our children’s futures. Today, I’m talking about Eric Schmitt.

Jonathan Dean @dean4il.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Eric Schmitt is a huge POS and doesn’t get nearly as much attention for it as he should.

I’m excited for Jack Smith to once again give the country a lesson in civics, law, public integrity, decency, and courage under fire this morning. Everything this current government lacks.

When it comes to perpetrators being emboldened to commit SA, the fault lies squarely with prosecutors routinely refusing to file charges.

He taught about his time in Congress post-Watergate — when Democrats had a supermajority, overrode vetos (12 overrides of President Ford in two years), and instituted reforms. Congress basically ran the country to limit the power of the president. This is possible.

When they do not — they embolden perpetrators to commit sexual assault because they know they won’t face consequences. If a prosecutor doesn’t want to bring a criminal prosecution for sexual assault, they need to be thrown out of office.

Jonathan Dean @dean4il.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Local prosecutors need to toughen up and take difficult sexual assault cases to trial. It’s well known in the legal community that prosecutors will make any excuse to not bring charges against a credibly accused rapist.

The Cornell administrators that covered-up this brutal crime should be in jail right next to the rapist-students. The Tompkins County District Attorney needs to reopen the investigation and include the university administrators.

Alito, Roberts, and Thomas have all been personally enriched from oil companies. So they should recuse themselves from Suncor v. Boulder County, where they will decide if oil companies can be held liable for climate change. They all have a massive conflict of interest.

While it is true that changes for the upcoming elections “should be limited,” practically speaking, Republican state officials have been frequently looking for reasons to violate election law to achieve an electoral advantage. This hands them another one.

Jonathan Dean @dean4il.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

While I agree with this and it is correct, Republicans have shown time and again they will disregard established election law and this decision gives them a “reason” to do so.
