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.

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog.

Each state needs to do median testing at voting polls at random to test if machines are working correctly.

Fox News will sell that to their masses and for them it will be true.

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

NEW: A MAGA X account often shared by Senator Mike Lee and House Republicans like Nancy Mace--that often alleges Democrats encourage voting fraud-- is run by a man who not only has never stepped foot in the US, he also illegally donated to an American campaign.

As basic question from an ex-police reporter: Can some of our journalists detail the training regimen all these new federal agents receive? The lethal incompetence involving use of force and perameters of the 4A suggests they are just handed guns, masks and badges and told to go fuck people up.

ICE is made up of men who have failed the human test and have nothing of value to offer this nation.

Adults with decency and options and possibilities don’t do this shit.

He was definitely a chip off the ol’ block. R.I.P. Jim Mitchum. Now go watch him in TRACKDOWN (1976). Your jaw will drop when you get to the elevator shaft scene…

This shutdown happened by design.

title : This government shutdown didn't happen by accident. it happened by design.
4 frame comic. we see Russell Vought, Curtis Yarvin, Russell Vought again, and the White House. Text reads :
russell vought is the director
of the u.s. office of management
and budget and the key architect
of project 2025. the nyt called
him "the man behind trump's push
for an all-powerful presidency."
project 2025 includes a roadmap
to achieve curtis yarvin's butter-
fly revolution, in which the
neo-reactionary leader advocates
for replacing non-partisan gov't
employees with loyalists, seizing
control of public assets and
centralizing power in a small
group of elites.
what vought aimed to do
was create the conditions
in which he could strip bare
what he calls the "unelected
fourth branch of government".
back in february, he instructed
agencies to prepare for mass
layoffs on sept. 30th.
this shutdown will give Trump
the power to bypass Congressional
oversight: Trump can just declare
which areas are considered
essential services, and ignore the
1974 law that prevents presidents
from withholding federal dollars.

this shutdown was the goal
all along.

California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940.

The money is going to be used *against* you.
