Gorsuch: "So Congress as a practical matter can't get this power back once it's handed it over to the president. It's a one-way ratchet toward the gradual but continual accretion of power in the executive branch and away from the people's elected representatives.”

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

Reich was being referred to. Judging by Pakman’s recent interview with ETA, he thinks he understand in a superior manner, but doesn’t get it at all well.

Imagine struggling to decide to who to vote for between a serial sexual assaulter and some guy that wants to give families free childcare, and that your hesitation is due to your support for an apartheid European-pseudo state committing genocide in the Middle East.

Yes he is, but also highly technically literate and so, "not understanding statistics" doesn't wash for an excuse. He could have done so much to help.

No, Scott Morrison, “Net zero at any cost on a rigid timetable is not policy, it’s just ideology”, it is your Holocaust Denial.

Net Zero by 2050 is a minimal target to try to minimise the runaway effects of climate change with staggering costs both to humans and the biosphere in general.

This was America before Trump’s insurrectional fraud election.

An absence of any significant citizen benefits compared to Norway.

Imagine what it will be like for American citizens once the neoreactionary/Project 2025/DOGE attack on Americans has finished its impoverishment. A poverty rate of 50%?

Trump's corruption is so large it's in the "it's a statistic" territory, and crypto is a great way to do corruption in a way that ordinary people and even most pundits and journalists don't greatly understand.

Drop-off charts show that his margin above next Rep down ballot strangely matches her margin below next Dem down ballot in almost all counties. This data strongly matches the the theory that top of the ticket was switched by a fixed % across all counties.

What a pathetic speech, all flurry and posture, when the country is utter dire straits. Here’s a man with stature wasting his words on jokes, when his country needs him to call out a growing fascist dictatorship.

Obama, campaigning for Abigail Spanberger— prosecutes the case against Trump and MAGA.

“The Republicans…they’re not even pretending to solve the problem. They have not even been showing up to work.”

“As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the Rose Garden…”

Tara Palmeri isn't exaggerating—she's warning:"If the Epstein files are released unredacted, it would truly shake the world." These aren't rumors—they're receipts. When the truth comes out, it won't just expose people, it'll expose the entire system that protected them.

80% of votes in the US are paper ballots, but almost 100% of those are counted by computers through optical scanners. Those computers are what were compromised giving such a large fraud in the 2024 election.

This is just an example of how it can be done and the note at the bottom!!!!
