I’m here in Salisbury, MD today, where Rev. William Barber is leading a protest in support of the local Haitian community. Around 10% of Salisbury is Haitian, and many are facing potential deportation after the Trump admin ended their TPS status. Joined by faith leaders, reps from Sens and the Gov

The mainstream media has treated the collapse of trade talks with Canada as a symmetrical crisis, with each side blaming the other for a needless trade war. What these accounts leave out is the fact that all of Trump’s gratuitously imposed tariffs were illegal to begin with. buff.ly/jqL1tQ4

Canada Stands Up to Trump’s Illegal Tariffs - The American Prospect
After the U.S. increased demands over the weekend, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney rightly concluded that deals with this president are a fool’s errand.

www.mediaite.com/media/news/t... “The two men have stayed in touch since they worked together on a criminal justice bill midway through Mr. Trump’s first term... Mr. Kushner suggested that Mr. Jeffries should meet with the White House chief of staff, Susie Wiles...” These quotes are brutal.

the fact that john ossoff can kick off a two-day media cycle by saying that the president is uninterested in doing his job and is sleeping through meetings and traveling around with a young blonde, suggests that not enough of these guys are speaking plainly and effectively about these assholes

What Ossoff said about Trump's need to "Travel with Natalie" is simply true. There's nothing insinuated. It's not a euphemism for sex. But half of the reporters and pundits yakking about it are treating it as if it's some kind of insinuation. If you think there's something going on, go investigate!

The White House normally gets $2.5 million a year for maintenance. Trump’s team has allocated $875 million.   That’s 350 years’ worth of the usual budget spent by a single administration.

If the Democrats really want to run on an anti corruption platform (and i think they should), this means coming out against prediction markets, crypto, and sports betting, all of which are either directly corrupt or facilitate corrupt acts.

This is the frustration I have with many "centrists" in the Democratic party: they see themselves apart from the Dem party while also being the only "real" Dems. If you want a functional and strong Republican party, go join it and make it the new center right party. That would be more helpful.

I have decided to just pretend that Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's concurring opinion on birthright citizenship is the official 250th anniversary speech for the United States. Happy 250th anniversary, USA 🎉! And here is part of Justice Jackson's conclusion - as the rest of this text, it is fire. 🗃️
“Of course, the ultimate irony is that for all the talk about
the detestable Dred Scott decision, the Government and the
principal dissent propose a return to its core tenet. Their
bottom line is that, for certain people, being born on Amer-
ican soil will not suffice to confer citizenship. It is that odi-
ous conclusion that the Citizenship Clause plainly rejects,
as the Court explains. Ante, at 26. I add only that the Four-
teenth Amendment’s universalist aims should forever be
the death knell for this kind of claim—one that seeks to
make bloodline the marker of birthright. The America that
was reborn from the rubble of the Civil War simply does not
countenance that inequitable result. Thankfully, a major-
ity of the Court remembered this today, and has dutifully
preserved the most basic animating principle of our Na-
tion’s founding—that all human beings are created equal—
once more.”
