But at least Tom Morello was able to *feel good* about his vote. Never mind the dead kids, Tom!l. Thanks, Tom!

Justice Alito is confusing a desire to reform the court with an effort to intimidate it. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
democracydocket.com
Supreme Court expansion is ‘a concerted effort to intimidate the court,' Justice Alito says
Despite Americans' eroding trust in the Supreme Court, Alito says he's not discussed growing calls for expanding the court and setting term limits.

I’d-a felt way better about the PttP fest if Morello hadn’t voted for Trump. So glad he got to feel the purity of his vote tho. That’s what really matters. Never mind all the dead people or women losing healthcare. I might have mentioned before that this was all avoidable.

I think sketch comedy can go a lot further than episodic television or feature films and has the anarchic spirit of the silent era. The very best is a model of efficient hilarity without any fluff youtu.be/1uGHvIhsrFc

Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

Trump's FCC broke 92 yrs of regulatory precedent to ok Paramount WB’s half ownership by repressive monarchs. Rules in place since 1934 prevent foreign investment of 25% or more in US broadcasters, but FCC chairman Carr determined this to be in the “public interest." www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
