This is a fair point! If your news organization is reporting and commentating that spending taxpayer dollars on political ads isn’t legal, it’s a really, really bad look when that same organization is accepting those same taxpayer dollars to air more of those same ads. Do better MS NOW!

When this nation’s first president chopped down one cherry tree, he was honest and contrite. When the current president chopped down a slew of cherry trees, he did so in violation of a court order—and didn’t give a shit.

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

You know what? FOX 2 Detroit ended their high school essay contest in 1995 because of me. I was the last winner. A (white) teacher at another HS accused me and my (white) AP English teacher of cheating. Essay was "too long." Previous winners read their essays on TV. I only got to visit the studio.

Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule👇 Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it. I'm as confident in our arguments here as in any of our cases!
