If they have nothing to hide they have nothing to fear… 📌 California lawmakers just passed SB 627, the “No Secret Police Act,” which would make it illegal for law enforcement to hide their identities while on duty in the state.

Here’s Why the Supreme Court Keeps Writing Trump Blank Checks
…instead of keeping an eye on checks and balances.

Last night in Poland we saw the most serious European airspace violation by Russia since the war began, and indications suggest it was intentional, not accidental. I am in contact with NATO Secretary General Rutte and Poland FM Sikorski. The EU stands in full solidarity with Poland. (1/2)

One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys. Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman. There is no justification for this. None.

They could have done something like this in the Trump immunity case and given a chance for the special counsel to take Trump's federal election subversion charges to trial. Expediting cases is a choice

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

BREAKING: Supreme Court lets Trump temporarily withhold $4 billion in Congressionally-approved foreign aid. This is pretty bad. White House will see this as permission slip to ignore Congress & spend money however Trump wants.

I am usually more sanguine than some others when the Supreme Court hands down nasty opinions, but y'all, I am really stuck on Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo. Presidential immunity was dangerous but unsurprising. Many other shadow docket rulings have been dumbfounding. Today was nakedly invidious.

No solidarity. Reporters let Trump talk this way to a woman reporter and then clamor to get their own question answered. He used to do it to April Ryan, Yamiche Alcindor and Abby Phillip. And that’s why he controls media. No solidarity.

Donald Trump’s plan is one that’s been repeated over and over again by dictators across history — inciting the local population before sending disrupters. That’s how you convert a democracy into something else. Illinois won’t fall for this ploy.

What Trump dumped on Congress from the Epstein files. Looks like D.C. really did run out of black Sharpies. For context, this is Document 380, a motion in limine filed by Maxwell’s defense team on October 29, 2021, trying to block evidence tied to “Accuser-3” from being heard at trial.
