A critically important, tight legal analysis -- essential reading on the Cornell case

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

The DA failed everyone here because he didnt do his job, in my view as former DA. He should step aside and allow someone else to do a full and fair investigation so everyone can have faith in it. My thoughts for @msnowreports.bsky.social www.ms.now/opinion/corn...

The right to vote is one of the most fundamental parts of our democracy. Check your voter registration at IWillVote.com and make a plan to vote early or on Election Day on November 3.

Everyone questioning whether Darline Graham is smart enough to be in the Senate is making me smile. You mean in comparison to the intellectual powerhouses already there? Like Tommy Tuberville? Marsha Blackburn? Ron Johnson? John Fetterman?

SMACKDOWN! AG Bonta brilliantly explains why the Paramount/Warners mega-merger violates anti-trust law & why he will not be swayed until that is addressed Paramount’s PR surge is backfiring

If you have enough money that you can blow $100,000,000 on avoiding taxes, you have enough money to pay $100,000,000 *on* taxes that will help your fellow citizens, you self-centered prick.

In case you missed it, here is my interview with Rachel Maddow about my new book, The Fix. This is how we take our government back. youtu.be/3hZB5NY8J_0?...

Female Supreme Court Justices Formally Request Protection From Brett Kavanaugh https://theonion.com/female-supreme-court-justices-formally-request-protection-from-brett-kavanaugh/

The imbalance between the rich and the poor has reached a breaking point. The first trillionaire has been minted. Yet 20 states still have a minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. Something is fundamentally broken here.

If liberty comes from the Bible, why did the Constitution omit God, ban religious tests for office, and prohibit the establishment of religion? The founders were drawing heavily from Enlightenment philosophy, not creating a biblical republic.

People outside the military don’t understand how there is a serious lack of respect for Hegseth in the ranks.

Sean Trende’s piece on his son’s last day of school is full of joy and sadness and love and is well worth your time. www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/202...

Jon Ossoff with a TRUTH about who it is Republicans represent.

The Middle East is full of religious extremists who blindly revere evil men. Oops! I meant *The United States* not The Middle East.

Texas: 13.6% uninsured rate for kids Florida: 8.5% California just 3.1%

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

All this because some voters just weren’t quite sure about the Black lady

#SistersInLaw is now on YouTube! Take a look (and like and subscribe!): youtu.be/rk-iM9GPKN0?...

Stephen Miller is a sick and deranged man!

From nursing homes to newspapers, the obsession with squeezing every last time out of businesses that claim to serve the public good is destroying America.

Make sure everyone sees this then. The FCC apparently changed its “equal time” rule on talk shows to make it hard for Colbert or The View to air interviews with candidates like Talarico. Video link in comments.

He spent decades bringing the religious right to power. Now he's marching to undo it. Rev. Rob Schenck spent decades helping build the Religious Right—commingling church and state to advance conservative causes. Now, he says he must confront the damage he helped cause.

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

This statement from an eyewitness to the Minnesota murder of Mr. Pretti is gut wrenching, from beginning to end. Please disseminate it as you see fit. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Yall outside of MN need to know that observers are STILL out protecting their neighbors. Right now. They know the news and they’re still out there.

Proud to be on the side of Good and Pretti.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

FACT: California sends $83 billion more to the federal government than we get back. Trump can talk down on California all he wants, but California pays his bills.

#SCOTUS is likely to do the right thing in the Lisa Cook case. But it's worth bearing in mind that this idea that the Fed is some bespoke exception to the unitary executive theory is utterly incoherent as a matter of both law and history—and is really just proof that the UET is itself bollocks:

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

The Alt National Park Service has spent months stealing from journalists, directly plagiarizing the work of others more than a hundred times. With more than 4.3 million followers on Facebook and nearly 900k here on Bluesky, they've built a massive following on theft.

Three years ago today, Trump's far-right Supreme Court majority ended Americans' federal right to abortion under Roe v. Wade. Since then, over 100 women have been denied emergency abortion care. Amber Nicole Thurman, 28, was one of them. Today, share her story. www.propublica.org/article/geor...

Been saying something to this effect for a couple of months now. "There’s nothing Trump can do to bend global financial markets to his will." www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-econ...

As one institution after another caves to Trump, one important check remains: There’s nothing Trump can do to bend global financial markets to his will. That's a major political opportunity. Matt Johnson on the unpopularity of Trump's economic calamity: www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-econ...
