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...

Zelenskyy: “Our long-range responses had a very significant impact in the Moscow region last night. One of Russia’s key oil industry facilities and the aggressor’s logistics facility were hit. These are billions of dollars that sustain their war machine.”

I think part of the pundit crack-up has been that they missed the big call of their lifetimes about which was the bigger threat to America: wokeness or authoritarianism. And rather than admitting that, they are doubling down on wokeness, while ignoring an authoritarianism that does not threaten them

U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan just saved the midterms. She ruled that the regime’s 25-state voter-purge machine broke three federal privacy laws, stating the government "knowingly trampled" on the sacred right to vote. Read her monumental ruling: 👇 🔗 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trumps-pla...

i know the White House thinks it's cute that nobody in the administration has real responsibilities beyond fluffing the president on TV, but that disaster of a press briefing by Dr Oz is a reminder that it's actually good to know what you're talking about

Menendez: Delaney Hall was supposed to be a place to hold the worst of the worst. That’s just not the reality of who’s there. We had a pastor who was there for several weeks. We have mothers, fathers. You have pregnant women who are there.

One reason I hate death penalty cases is that capital punishment is incredibly stupid and irrational. It's cruel, expensive, and serves no deterrent effect. It's rarely imposed, except against a tiny minority of unlucky defendants—and in those cases, racism almost always plays a role. Just end it.

Consider the opportunity costs of the war in Iran. The missiles might have been sent to Ukraine, to end that war. The money might have bought healthcare for Americans. The attention of Europe and Asia might have been focused on countering Russia and China, not re-opening the Strait of Hormuz

Trump is actively making our goods more expensive by blocking a piece of key infrastructure - apparently all because his most Epstein-linked Cabinet Secretary conveyed a request from a billionaire GOP donor. America does not have to tolerate this kind of corruption.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

“I think” is how a system run by a king or a dictator works. Here, we have a rule of law that says no one, and that includes the government, can murder people on a whim because it “thinks” they’re up to no good.

Something rare—maybe unprecedented—is unfolding in D.C.: Grand juries are refusing to indict Trump opponents whose minor acts of defiance have been inflated into felony charges. Washingtonians have few tools to resist the occupation of their city. This is one of them. slate.com/news-and-pol...
Grand jury proceedings are secret, so it is impossible to know exactly why jurors declined to indict in these five cases. But it’s not hard to guess. Each failed prosecution was transparently motivated by partisan anger toward opponents of Donald Trump and his agenda. Each weaponized the criminal code against a dissident who opposed the regime’s agenda, inflating a minor act of disobedience into a felony offense. And in every instance, a group of D.C. residents saw through the charade, refusing to legitimize political retribution dressed up as law enforcement.

For nearly a month, the president has staged a hostile “takeover” of the District, flooding the streets with federal police, masked immigration agents, and National Guard members. Because they lack the protections of statehood, Washingtonians have few concrete means of fighting back. Grand juries are one of them. And they have begun to wield that power to frustrate Trump’s attempt to criminalize dissent.
