More incomprehensible power given to the executive. Each of the 5 NLRB Board members have five year terms and one is up for replacement every year. With Senate approval, each president already gets a majority of the Board by the end of a 4 year term.
JUST IN: A 2-1 panel of the D.C. Circuit rules that Trump may remove members of the NLRB or MSPB regardless of laws meant to shield them from removal without cause.
Majority: Rao (Trump), Katsas (Trump)
Dissent: Pan (Biden)

Our political scale has been distorted & propagandized by the corrupt elite to make basic empathy a radical political ideology.
But it's not.
Our barometer is off & a dangerous sociopathy has been the norm for way too long.
That's how we got here: being conditioned into hyper individuality.

To clarify, if I go to the pharmacy to fill a prescription on a $50 bottle, with a 700% price reduction, the pharmacy would pay me $300.

🧵Former Honduran President Hernandez was convicted in April 2022.
But the investigation/prosecution began during Trump's first term and concluded under Biden.
Just read some of the standouts from the indictment below to know what a corrupt narco thug Hernandez is.
This is who Trump is pardoning.

The Saudi Crown Prince had Khashoggi dismembered in the Saudi embassy in Istanbul.
Dismembered while still alive.
But Khashoggi gave his phone to his fiancee and went in with his Apple Watch recording.
His watch was connected to his phone.
It captured the gruesome audio of his brutal killing.

In Bovino's upside down world, there is no difference between an armed gang member preying on others in his community and a guy working 12 hours a day washing cars, flipping burgers, or installing sheetrock to feed his family — and he wants you to hate and fear both men equally.
Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

I'm once again asking if there are any legal avenues we can pursue to compel the state AG to reread 5 ILCS 805/15 (TRUST Act) and actually apply it
Chicago Police District Councilor Dion McGill says community members have seen actions from CPD officers that seem to violate the IL TRUST Act, which limits cooperation between state & federal police on immigration enforcement.
"Words like collusion and collaboration are used constantly," he says.

JD Vance, born James Bowman, changed his name to James David Hamel, then James David Vance. He was an atheist when he married his Hindu wife in 2014, but they still did a Hindu Christian wedding. Last week he said he wished his wife was a Christian. He once called Trump Hitler. Who is he, really?

I've been tracking these 8 Democratic senators for months, and yesterday's surrender on healthcare wasn't surprising—it was predictable.
