Oregonian. Abolish ICE. Term limits for Congress and the Supreme Court. Ban gerrymandering. Reverse Citizens United. Voting for the democratic socialists rather than the fascists.

I found watching Trump’s UN speech today deeply depressing. It is a matter of national shame and humiliation that he is our president. Every country in the world, friend and foe alike, sees we are governed by a vainglorious fool.

The author noted that while no one in the Trump camp suspects a sexual relationship, there is nonetheless a conviction that Harp is hopelessly in love with Trump and determined to be his “higher purpose bride.”

HAYES: “Major corporations are getting BIG FAT TARIFF REFUNDS — after SCOTUS ruled Trump's tariffs illegal. Walmart: $2.4 BILLION Apple: $2.2 BILLION Ford: $1.3 BILLION As consumers who PAID higher prices get NOTHING.” Heads they win, tails we lose. Trump’s America.

I know we’re all supposed to find Sen. Kennedy charming. But wgen he says that “he grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought,” it’s just a way of deflecting and refusing to tell the truth about Trump, which is that he’s a shameless and contemptible liar.

In addition to being morally abhorrent, this is both factually wrong as to the people who ICE has killed and legally wrong as to when lethal force can be used.

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

This will sound very nerdy, but when I was a kid, I revered the Supreme Court. If they could rule unanimously against segregation in 1954—when the two other branches of government would *never* have been brave enough—I thought they're the lone voice of good. That is all trashed now. They're garbage.
