Samuel Alito has recused himself from a Supreme Court climate case, after ethics watchdogs uncovered his fossil fuel stockholdings. Instead of relying on the justices to occasionally do the right thing, we need Congress to enact real SCOTUS reform.

If you’re shocked by a Senator who doesn’t know the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes, wait until you hear about the president who only recently learned that dumb is spelled with a b. 🤣 🤪 😂

In 2027 Seattle's minimum wage will be $22.14 per hour. That's more than THREE TIMES the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour—a rate that hasn't been raised since 2009. And yet somehow we're not the jobless wasteland orthodox economics would predict. Weird.
