Republicans are counting on you being too busy, too tired, or too discouraged to show up. Show them the losers that they are: vote early and bring someone with you. #BlueWaveIn20Days #VoteEarlyPlan

Thomson Reuters, which owns news agency Reuters, has signed a $125M deal giving ICE access to its databases of personal data. USA Today has partnered with Palantir to gain "actionable intelligence" on its audiences. The media should be opponents of Trump's police state — not collaborators.

BREAKING on MS NOW: Sens. Bill Cassidy and John Kennedy say there will NOT be a vote today on the GOP reconciliation bill following a two hour meeting with Acting AG Todd Blanche. This comes after a growing number of Republicans express concern about the Trump slush fund and ballroom funding.

MacFarlane: I can tell you in the courtroom, watching those cases, there was so much unapologetic boasting about future pardons or future glory from the defendants, even to their own detriment. They knew this day was coming.

The best thing John Roberts has ever done is prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the Supreme Court is a political institution and we should dramatically reduce its power over our government.

What's notable to me about the Alito-Jackson spat on Monday is how little Alito's opinion bothers with anything resembling legal analysis. He doesn't respond to Jackson, in any meaningful sense. It's just an angry blog post about how she really ought to be more respectful to him.

ballsandstrikes.orgSamuel Alito Had No Answers For Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Latest DissentThe more transparently political the Court’s work becomes, the more fiercely the conservative justices insist that there is nothing political about the Court’s work.
