The Republican agenda seems to be:
1. Serve the billionaires.
2. Hide the Epstein list.
3. Kick 22 million Americans off healthcare.

The Supreme Court seemed inclined today to at least chip away at — and maybe to fully scrap — a key tenet of the Voting Rights Act.

Supreme Court signals willingness to pare back Voting Rights Act

Its ruling could open the door to a new wave of gerrymandering across red states.

If you’ve recently awoken from a coma, the Speaker of the House is stalling the swearing in of a newly elected member from Arizona because she would be the deciding vote in the discharge petition to release the Epstein files, which would be trouble for his boss.

You’re caught up.

Ps: Welcome back.

White people need to talk to other white people. It is entirely up to the whites to move the needle on their end.

Let me be clear: racism and antisemitism are rampant on *both* sides of the aisle.

Your twentysomething niece has fallen for the okie doke just as easily as your Boomer uncle.

This Supreme Court case in Louisiana is about one thing, and one thing only: reinstituting Jim Crow by way of ensuring that Black Americans are taxed without receiving representation in Congress.

Everything else is noise and bluster.

This stolen Supreme Court is going to send us back to the 1860s.

Apropos of nothing, once the President of the United States confirms covert CIA operations in a country… say, Venezuela, those operations are no longer covert.

And it puts CIA officers at significantly more risk.

I just signed a memo saying the @nytimes.com has been on a mission to normalize fascism by leaving out pertinent facts in stories about Trump. Such as: Trump's actions here are illegal. There's nothing to equivocate about.

President Trump on Wednesday signed a memorandum expanding his administration’s authority to repurpose unspent federal funds to pay members of the military during the government shutdown, escalating his challenge to the authority of Congress on spending matters.

Trump Signs Memo Expanding His Authority to Spend Federal Money

The president gave Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wide authority to repurpose funds to pay members of the military without approval from Congress, which has the sole constitutional authority to decide federal spending.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Trump ordered today another lethal strike in the Caribbean, killing everyone on board a vessel. The "elimination" of 6 more people is not law enforcement; it's extrajudicial murder. This illegal campaign, which has now claimed 27 lives, is part of war plan against Venezuela.

There was no “clash”. Gestapo filth simply chemically attacked people. Everyday we must remind people that gestapo agents and their enablers are committing atrocities. This is an ethnic cleansing. These are crimes against humanity. And they will be held accountable.

⬇️⬇️⬇️🔥🔥🔥 A commentator somewhere pointed out ICE is traveling with film crews to document and spread their terrorism just for this very purpose. They WANT us to see it, get used to it and be afraid to resist.

And I'm afraid the extra-judicial murdering being done to Venezuelan "drug traffickers" is just to get the Publik used to seeing non-combatant people blown to bits on video.

It's coming to Chicago, LA, Portland and every other "blue" city he can think of.

Taxpayers pay for the military.

Those same taxpayers are now only allowed to see Republican propaganda about how the military operates.
