Trump will present his bogus conspiracy theories about voter fraud and the 2020 election once again tonight. The only reason he's doing so is to lay the groundwork for his midterm voter suppression scheme. Be warned.

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY! The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

When a lower court judge rules that a Trump admin policy is illegal & blocks it, Trump’s DOJ rushes an emergency appeal to the SCOTUS’s “shadow docket” to get it overturned. They usually win. Emergency requests have their uses, but the Trump admin is abusing the system. And SCOTUS is letting him.

How the Supreme Court’s 'shadow docket' keeps the public – and other judges – in the dark 
President Trump has submitted a record number of emergency cases to the Supreme Court’s “shadow docket,” persuading it to overturn lower court rulings that go against his administration’s policies. Slate senior writer Mark Joseph Stern warns the high court is giving Trump “unprecedented control over the federal government” with little or no explanation and even less transparency. Jeff Rosen says its use of the shadow docket “invites chaos.”

Trump isn’t just losing parts of his base over the Epstein scandal, says @anamariecox.bsky.social. It's reminding all Americans of the "moral stakes." And when Powell calmly fact-checked Trump in real time, he “showed every damn American how you deal with a bully,” adds @walshfreedom.bsky.social.

Not even snake lady can help Trump shake Epstein scandal
Amid the fallout from the Epstein scandal, Trump is reaching deep for anything that might distract away from his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein—including threatening a football team, touring the Fed, releasing MLK files, even tweeting a bizarre clip of a woman catching a snake. But this time, none of it seems to be working and his base is still demanding one thing, and one thing only: the release of the Epstein files. More importantly, says Ana Marie Cox of The New Republic, Trump is losing more than just his base—the scandal is reminding all Americans of “the moral stakes.” Even his photo-op at the Federal Reserve building—another attempted distraction from the scandal engulfing his administration—backfired big time as Fed Chair Jerome Powell fact-checked Trump’s false claims in real time. As former Congressman Joe Walsh puts it, Powell showed “every damn American how you deal with a bully.”

With the expansion of ICE, Americans have “reason to be alarmed,” says Lucan Way. Joyce Vance warns that “Congress needs to … wake up to the fact that it needs to play its role in setting institutional boundaries and imposing limits on a runaway executive branch, before it's too late.”

'Blatantly unconstitutional’: democracy professor on ICE tactics
ICE targeting students who have criticized the Trump administration is “blatantly unconstitutional,” warns professor of democracy Lucan Ahmad Way. “You can't simply racially profile or profile people based on their national origin and start pulling them off the streets,” says Joyce Vance. “That, by definition, is a police state.” With an explosion of new funding for ICE, as part of the GOP’s megabill, there’s yet more reason to be alarmed. With a rapid expansion of ICE, the danger, says Vance, “is that the people in charge are no longer the career officials with training who understand loyalty to the Constitution. These are quite literally people who understand loyalty to Donald Trump.”
