QUICK: Can't you seat Grijalva? AZ says this is taxation without representation

JOHNSON: Yeah, I'm shocked there's another D seeking publicity right now

Q: You haven't seated their delegation

J: It's all a farce. If Gallego and Kelly would vote to reopen the govt, we'll get this done quickly

A lot of discussion about race vs. party at the Supreme Court today.

But for an illustration of how extreme racially polarized voting can be in parts of the South, consider Mississippi supreme court elections, which are *non-partisan.*

It is so incredibly disturbing that 1) this propaganda is broadcast unchallenged on the media outlets that most people see and 2) there are apparently millions of people who accept this as reality when it is so clearly insane propaganda.

So the feds have now directed states NOT to send out November SNAP benefits.

A whole bunch of people are going to go hungry this Thanksgiving.

FUCK THAT HEARTLESS DUDE!

If you haven’t donated to a food bank recently, now is a good time to start.

“To protect, federal law enforcement? To enforce immigration laws? To police crime? To stop nonexistent riots?

“What’s becoming increasingly clear is that the purpose of using the troops is to use the troops. It’s blatant intimidation to stoke fear.”

These issues are as old as the republic.”

The Supreme Court has been reluctant to constrain the imperial presidency, but if it fails to act now, it could put American democracy itself at great risk. bit.ly/3IWUMED

There Is No Insurrection

Troops are for national defense, not displays of presidential power.

My take on Russia...Putin gave Trump orders to stir up a fight in the Western Hemisphere so that America will be distracted/engaged when Putin invades Europe.

The Supreme Court is on the verge of gutting the Voting Rights Act's equal opportunity protections for minority voters — 12 years after they first rolled back its safeguards against voter suppression.
