Putin has signed a decree that the sale of Alaska to the USA in 1867 for 7.2 million US dollars was unlawful. I wonder what territorial swap Trump and Putin will be talking about on Friday.

Our unaccountable Supreme Court gave our unaccountable president the power to effectively end the Department of Education. And it did so without any explanation because the case came through its secretive shadow docket. SCOTUS is rubber-stamping Trump’s authoritarian regime.

There’s money for ICE There’s money for concentration camps There’s money for tax cuts for the wealthy Yet there’s no money for healthcare, housing, food assistance, social support, or public broadcasting. There’s no money to help the sick, homeless & starving Suffering is a political choice
