In light of the current administrations attempt to suppress news media outlets, I’m reminded of this quote by our third president of the United States. "Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost.” — Thomas Jefferson

I'm really hoping all of these court shenanigans have completely sunk Proposition A. Missourians don't like being a pawn in people's games. People can see what's going on with these back and forth court rulings. People can see the transparent power grab, not for them, but for the politicians.

ICE went to a nightclub in Memphis around 1 AM and reportedly loaded more than 100 people onto buses and vans.
We are at the point where federal immigration agents can descend on a space in the middle of the night, detain masses of people, and leave families scrambling to figure out where their loved ones were taken.
This is what authoritarianism looks like.

I'm really struggling with the whole Mitch McConnell thing. Like, is the whole democratic party so weak that not one will book a flight to walk into the hospital or hire a PI to determine if he's dead? Do we not have investigative journalists anymore? WTH is happening, and why is no one checking?

Epstein survivor Dani Bensky: When you have somebody like Todd Blanche at the helm of the DOJ, it’s hugely problematic. He has the president’s best interests at heart. He does not have the American people’s best interests at heart. He’s so unfit to be the acting attorney general.

After losing in a blowout, Cornyn immediately pledged to support the ticket, including the opponent he had described as a fraud and a moral leper. Nobody expected anything else of him. The senator from Texas died, politically speaking, with his boots off. NY Times, apt summary of Cornyn's loss.
