It really is amazing how little John Roberts cares about the United States. He has spent his adult life trying to rig the election system to suppress (eliminate) the votes ensured by the 15th Amendment and creating a white supremacist monarchy. He and his 5 cronies deserve impeachment and removal.

More evidence (piled onto the already existing mountain of evidence) that the GOP-appointed members continuously violate their oaths as lawyers and as justices and simply make things up to suit their political and crank religious viewpoints. This isn't a court, it's a poorly written and acted play.

John Roberts has been trying to kill Voting Rights Act since he was young lawyer in Reagan DOJ. Today SCOTUS will hear case that could dismantle what's left of VRA, turbocharge racial gerrymandering & rig House for GOP. Huge stakes for American democracy www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The nation's landmark voting rights law just turned 60. It may not survive Trump.

“The long-term game is to repeal the Voting Rights Act.”

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

What Ceasefire? Israel Is Back to Its Genocidal Ways as Trump Demands a Peace Prize.

Trump's alleged historic peace deal is about as real as a diploma from Trump University, yet that hasn't stopped Republicans from kissing up to their King and ignoring a genocide.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

Trump is stooping so low that he’s gutting the federal Office of Special Education.

Attacking students with disabilities is wrong. Every child in America deserves a fair shot at success.

Multiple sources tell NPR that as part of the Trump administration's latest reduction-in-force, the U.S. Department of Education has gutted the office that handles special education.

The Trump Administration must stop their deployment of dangerous chemical weapons into the air of peaceful American communities.

If Republicans are going to label you a terrorist for peacefully protesting Trump's failing presidency, abuses of power, and treatment of blue America as an enemy nation, let's turn out in even bigger numbers.

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump

As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

Mocking is imperative. So is linking John Roberts to everything Trump does, as it was his desire and action to create an unconstitutional executive with nearly zero restrictions. He broke it--he owns it. Worst Chief Justice in American history.
