roberts thinks it is an affront that a community of upstanding citizens can not do as it chooses when it comes to voting. if that means that they might discriminate against a racial minority, he has no problem with that either as long as it is facially neutral.

Everything about John Roberts's approach to the Voting Rights Act makes sense when you remember that John Roberts has has always been hostile to the Voting Rights Act, never believed it was appropriate, and has spent most of his 45-year legal career working to hollow it out.

One of the Biggest Cases of the Supreme Court’s Term Is John Roberts’ Decadeslong Pet Project

It’s weird how the “young” Republicans are actually full-grown men and JD Vance treats them as children who shouldn’t face consequences for their racism, misogyny, or xenophobia.

But pregnant 12-year-old little girls are treated as adults and must literally bear the consequences of rape and incest.

Multi-billion-dollar farm bailout stalls, leaving farmers financially strained as planting season nears. As White House blames Democrats, the real culprits appear: logistical hurdles, funding disputes and ongoing trade war with China — a broader economic crisis.

Trump promised farmers a bailout. Time is running out.

The White House blames Democrats and the government shutdown for the delay of their multi-billion-dollar bailout, but that’s just one of many problems the administration faces.

“Don’t be fooled by those in Epstein’s circle who say they didn’t know what he was doing. Epstein…took a certain glee in making people watch. And people did watch – scientists, fundraisers from the Ivy League and other heralded institutions, titans of industry. They watched and they didn’t care.”

We can’t pay air traffic controllers during the shutdown, making us less safe, but we can send $40 billion to bail out Argentina.

Make it make sense.
