An important part of arresting the consolidation of authoritarianism is convincing corporations and institutions that Trump will eventually be out of power and at that point they’ll face consequences for their actions and by that standard this is a good sign
Jamie Dimon says JPM hasn't given to the ballroom because "anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful about how anything is perceived." Adds "And also how the next DOJ is going to deal with."

PH and pals think they are above the law. I hope they're very, very wrong.
Here are US military lawyers stating clearly that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's "kill everybody" orders are either (1) war crimes or (2) murder.
Either way, expect prosecutions in the future.

My opinion about SCOTUS has changed completely due to all of these Shadow Docket rulings. Now I think they are on board with Accelerationism or someone has something on Roberts.

This regime is killing children and would-be mothers denied essential reproductive care.
In a new leaked memo, the FDA outlined plans to make it much harder to get new vaccines approved, claiming, without sharing evidence, that the COVID vaccines have killed at least 10 children.
This is so reckless. The science shows us that COVID vaccines have saved millions of lives.

Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

A Maine woman retired early to be a caregiver for her terminally ill mother.
Now she’s facing cancer herself, and because ACA subsidies won’t be extended, she is losing her healthcare.

Thank you brave citizens of NYC!
Federal immigration enforcement officials called off a planned raid on Canal Street today shortly before it was slated to begin.
New Yorkers who heard about the raid showed up at the garage where the feds had gathered, and as federal agents tried to leave, the NYPD cleared the way for them.

Instead they watched the loves of their life be taken away in handcuffs
