This morning, the Justice Department went after nearly an entire state's federal bench, all at once. The judges had said the government wasn't following court orders. The response was to try to remove the judges. Here's why every American should be paying attention. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

I never ever thought I would see such a dangerous unhinged psychopath running the US military. We’ve had some bad ones, but never like this.

Nurses and community members are protesting in San Francisco today as part of the "People vs. Palantir" Global Week of Action. Organizers say the demonstration is focused on Palantir's work with ICE and concerns over immigration enforcement.

John Roberts has spent his entire career trying to kill the Voting Rights Act. Now his Republican-appointed majority is dusting off arguments once used to destroy Reconstruction to roll back the gains made during the civil rights era. Our latest cover story: tinyurl.com/3m6nawpj
Mother Jones magazine cover linking the Roberts Supreme Court to a revival of Jim Crow: a black judicial robe hangs next to a white KKK hooded robe with a hand reaching toward it; headline "The Southern Strategy" and subhead "Jim Crow was dead and buried. Then came the Roberts court."

Warren: "This has been their argument every time -- they cut taxes and say, 'Ultimately it's really going to pay off for you.' What's happened every time? The academics study it very carefully and say, 'What really happened is the richest people got richer and everybody else got left behind.'"

In March, Washington State passed a tax on millionaires to fund public education, childcare, and expand its earned income tax credit. Now, special interest groups backed by the rich are trying to trick voters into repealing the tax by claiming it will apply to non-millionaires. Don't fall for it.

Washington Taxed Its Millionaires. Now the Rich Want It Repealed.
Washington State voters will get a chance to accept or reject the 9.9 percent income tax on millionaires approved by the Legislature, which broke the state’s taboo against levying income taxes.

Just in case it wasn’t clear, when they say the U.S. Government’s paying for this, that’s YOUR taxpayer dollars they’re using. I’ll say this as many times as I need to: it is ILLEGAL to use American taxpayer dollars from the government to pay for candidates’ or parties’ political ads.

American health care creates no incentive for pharma companies to cure diseases. When you cure a disease, the customers go away. There's no money in that. Curing patients is not a sustainable business model, per Goldman Sachs. news.slashdot.org/story/19/02/...

37 more wounded troops. Added quietly. No explanation. Here's the No B.S. truth: when anyone (a vendor, a CEO, a government) revises the numbers without telling you why, the silence IS the message. 861 wounded. Their families deserve the full story.

Todd Blanche now says "one-sided news" is a national security threat worth barring the press over. That's not a legal standard. It's a viewpoint test. I didn’t go to law school…and didn’t need to, to know that the First Amendment exists to STOP government from judging which coverage is balanced.
