Was cancellation of the Colbert show a secret side agreement in CBS parent Paramount's $16 million lawsuit settlement with Trump? Seems like an amazing coincidence if it wasn't.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court allows the Trump administration to move forward with the abolition of the Department of Education. It gives no explanation for its order. All three liberals dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25... From Sotomayor's dissent:
Lifting the District Court’s injunction will unleash
untold harm, delaying or denying educational opportunities
and leaving students to suffer from discrimination, sexual
assault, and other civil rights violations without the federal
resources Congress intended. The majority apparently
deems it more important to free the Government from paying employees it had no right to fire than to avert these very
real harms while the litigation continues. Equity does not
support such an inequitable result.
* * *
The President must take care that the laws are faithfully
executed, not set out to dismantle them. That basic rule
undergirds our Constitution’s separation of powers. Yet today, the majority rewards clear defiance of that core principle with emergency relief. Because I cannot condone such
abuse of our equitable authority, I respectfully dissent.

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens. Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important". Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary. substack.com/redirect/169...

The Senate GOP budget bill would impose a sweeping nationwide abortion ban by blocking Affordable Care Act insurers from covering abortion care in all 50 states. This extreme measure would override state protections & strip millions of women of their right to comprehensive reproductive health care.

You cannot have fascism without militarism. It’s a violence cult, and that violence goes outward as well as inward. This is a regime that celebrates the violent domination of people of color and treats insurrectionists as martyrs. Of course it’s going to war.
