GOP Speaker Johnson refusing to swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva despite winning her election 2 weeks ago with 70% of the vote is a practice run for what GOP plans to do after 2026 election. They will not seat Democrats who won to keep control of the House. Dems need to fight hard on this now!

Today the GOP Supreme Court will hear a case focused on the Voting Rights Act. We can expect the GOP justices to strike down what is left of the law because that is what the GOP wants. The GOP's goal is a return to whites only political power. That is what MAGA is about.

On average, they'll find their premiums have doubled.

Trump takes away Senior Care Center in Glasgow Kentucky

76% there voted for Trump

Glasgow, KY voted 76% for Trump. I feel so bad for the 24% being impacted by the stupidity and cruelty of the morons.

I feel no sympathy for any of the 76% who voted for Trump and are being negatively impacted. FAFO.

President's immunity from prosecution in American courts for official domestic acts does not extend to justifying potentially illegal military strikes under international law. If Trump were surrounded by competent people at the DOJ, they would have told him this. He's going down the Duterte road.

Trump seems to be taking his cues from President Duterte of Phillipines, who killed thousands af suspected drug traffickers from 2016 to 2022.
In other words, Trump could kill anyone simply by saying he suspects they're associated with a "terrorist" organization.
