Tim Snyder is correct: If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money and tackle our corrupt system. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

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.

how many felony convictions does Donald Trump have?
A New York State jury found President Donald J. Trump guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree (New York Penal Law § 175.10) on May 30, 2024, in People v. Donald J. Trump, Indictment No. 71543-23.
That is the only felony conviction shown in the official court materials returned here. I did not independently verify later appeal or post-sentencing outcomes beyond those records.

It might be tempting to beleive Donald is blaming Russia for something. He calls it a “war” and says Russia lost control which is as close to critiquing Prez as he is likely to get. In fact he's shifting blame for his failing Iran war onto Ukraine whom he blames for defending themselves.

Trump's ban on MSNOW, CNN, and Politico is not only part of the autocratic playbook, but the timing is no coincidence. Trump is well in the autocratic backfire process, thus, entire media outlets he sees as threats must be banished. This is a moment of reckoning for America.
