The Hawaii Supreme Court has assailed SCOTUS in recent rulings.

"The Roberts Court casually dismisses the lessons of American and world history, the warnings of prominent early Americans, and the judiciary’s storied legal minds," the court wrote.

Hawaii Supreme Court Expands Rights of Defendants, and Once Again Rebukes SCOTUS

The justices ruled that Hawaii’s constitution requires police to record interrogations. And they vowed to protect due process for Hawaii residents—unlike, they said, the Roberts Court.

D'Angelo to Rolling Stone in 2015:

"The music business is a crazy game, especially for somebody like me who is really a purist about the art ... Trying to balance the pressures of commercialism, it’s a tightrope."

Not that anybody comes to me for Maine politics, but the fact that the Democrats successfully convinced a 77yo Governor to primary the 41yo progressive, is today's example of why the Democrats fucking stay failing.

Susan Collins is 72 and if Schumer gets his way, she'll be the YOUNGER choice!

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.

Coal miner's wife on Trump's deregulation of black lung protections:

“They’re mining a lot more now, the coal trucks are running, but there’s no benefits for the coal miners coming in... The coal miners have supplied this country with electricity, and now they’re just cast aside to die”

Good morning.

Democrats have no obligation to vote for a budget that funds corruption and totalitarianism.

Trump is willing to do whatever it takes to destroy our democracy and pad the pockets of billionaires.

People don't want Democrats to wilt. They want us to fight.

👇🏻 this elected official doesn't understand what Medicaid is or how it works. Everyone running for a political office should have to pass a civics exam before they are allowed to run for office.

Mike Johnson says Medicaid is "intended for vulnerable populations, the elderly, disabled, and young pregnant women, and not young able-bodied men without dependents who are playing video games."

Minneapolis’ first all-Indigenous firefighter crew hopes to inspire kids and adults in the community.

“That made a huge difference in the community for them to see a Native man with long hair that looks like me on a fire rig going to 911 calls,” Johnny Crow said.
