The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.

‘Suicidal’ model of capitalism leading to war and fascism, climate summit told
Colombia president Gustavo Petro tells 57-country talks on a green energy transition that fossil fuel interests could destroy humanity The world is threatened by a “suicidal” model of capitalism that is leading to war, fascism and the potential extinction of humanity, Colombia’s president has said, as he convened 57 governments to address the climate crisis. Gustavo Petro blamed fossil fuel interests for taking ever more desperate measures to prevent a transition to green energy. “There is inertia in the power and the economy of this archaic form of energy – fossil fuels – that lead to death. Undoubtedly, that form of capital can commit suicide, taking with it humanity and [other] life,” he said. “The question that needs to be asked is whether capitalism can truly adapt to a non-fossil energy model.” Continue reading...

BREAKING: Blanche, Woodward, and Trent McCotter file a deranged motion in the National Trust ballroom case asking the district court to "immediately" issue an "indicative ruling" that it will dissolve the preliminary injunction that DOJ has already appealed if it gets jurisdiction to do so .
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
NATIONAL TRUST FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION,
Plaintiff,
Case No. 1:25-cv-04316-RJL
NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, et al.,
Defendants.
DEFENDANTS' RULE 62.1 MOTION
FOR AN INDICATIVE RULING DISSOLVING THE COURT'S INJUNCTION
"The National Trust for Historic Preservation" is a beautiful name, but even their name is
FAKE because when they add the words "in the United States" to the National Trust for Historic
Preservation, it makes it sound like a Governmental Agency, which it is not. In fact, the United States refused to continue funding it in 2005 because they strongly disagreed with their mission and objectives. They are very bad for our Country. They stop many projects that are worthy, and hurt many others. In this case, they are trying to stop one that is vital to our National Security, and
the Safety of all Presidents of the United States, both current and future, their families, staff, and
Cabinet members. They were asked by the United States Military not to bring this suit because of
the Top Secret nature of the important facility being built. They were shown detailed plans and
specifications of this knitted, unified, and cohesive structure by Top Officers and Leaders in both
the Military and Secret Service. But this did not deter them because they suffer from Trump
Derangement Syndrome, commonly referred to as TDS, as noted by Democrat Senator John Fetterman, of Pennsylvania, and are represented by the lawyer for Barack Hussein Obama, Gregory Craig. The lower section of the building does not work without the upper section and,
likewise, the upper section of the building does not work without the lower. It is all one highlyintegrated unit! As an example, one venting system, one electrical system, one plumbing system, one security system, one air conditioning and heating system, one elevator connector and, very
importantly, one structural steel and enforced concrete system - and more. Even the bullet proof
windows and glass, and the heavy steel, drone proof roof, protect what is below. With such a
facility, it would have been impossible for an attack like that which took place last Saturday evening in D.C. when an attempted assassin, armed with a shotgun, pistol, and knives, charged through a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton in an attempt to assassinate President
Donald J. Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, and members of the President's Cabinet and senior staff, during the White House Correspondents' Dinner. The Secret Service fortunately neutralized the assassin before he could reach the ballroom. However, Saturday's narrow miss- which marks
the third assassination attempt on President Trump since 2024 confirms what should have
already been obvious: Presidents need a secure space for large events, that currently does not exist in Washington, D.C., and this Court's injunction stalling this Project cannot defensibly continue, for the sake of the safety of President Trump, future Presidents, and their families, Cabinets, and
staff. Defendants thus request that this Court issue an indicative ruling under Rule 62.1 that it will
dissolve its injunction.
Three assassination attempts-including the attempt in Butler,
Pennsylvania, where an assassin's bullet hit the President's ear—is enough. There is absolutely
no argument that a woman walking her dog in the vicinity of the White House has STANDING to
stop such a desperately needed structure for the people of the United States of America, as it will
provide Presidents, current and future, a secure space to do their jobs.
The day after this assassination attempt, Defendants asked the Trust whether they oppose
this motion and still se…This Court should never have enjoined this Project, but now, after the Saturday night
attempted assassination, which could have never taken place in the new facility, reasonable minds
can no longer differ - The injunction must be dissolved. This Court should immediately issue an
indicative ruling that it will dissolve the injunction, and put an end to this frivolous lawsuit, which
greatly endangers the lives of all Presidents, current and future.

This is happening folks. I know probably a lot of you don't know too much about the Federal Reserve, because why would you lmfao, but like I cannot understate how big of a deal it is that a Thiel/Andreessen crony is getting this position. www.cnbc.com/2026/04/20/f...
Warsh now has a clear path to replacing Powell as the next leader of the Fed when Powell’s term expires in mid-May. The Senate Banking Committee is set to vote on his confirmation on Wednesday, and the full Senate could take it up shortly after.

With Tillis’s support, the confirmation of President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Fed is all but assured.Warsh’s connection to Karp and other titans of Silicon Valley such as reclusive PayPal
 co-founder Peter Thiel, Yahoo founder Jerry Yang and prominent venture capitalist Marc Andreessen go back decades — to college at Stanford and to investments made alongside some of them beginning soon after Warsh resigned as a Fed governor in 2011.

Those connections and his focus on tech investments have shaped Warsh’s almost evangelical view of how new technologies will transform the U.S. economy — a view that could change how the Fed runs monetary policy and what rate policies it pursues.
