I listen to boring, droning, music, and bike a lot to stay happy.

Poll taxes are unconstitutional. Any i.d. that is required to vote has to be provided by the government.
This is a way to disenfranchise the poor.

So the department responsible for justice did not interview the victims of the crimes. Seems pretty open and shut. Impeach Bondi.

Rep. Raskin: “You ignored the law and even with over 100,000 employees at your disposal, you acted with some mixture of staggering incompetence, cold indifference, and jaded cruelty towards more than 1,000 victims raped, abused, and trafficked. This performance screams cover-up.”

So, despite deporting illegal aliens who were eating the cats, taking American jobs, and houses, we still have sinking jobs numbers, high housing prices, and no increase in cats.

Moderna thought cozying up to the new authoritarian leader would work out for them.
The vaccine maker Moderna said on Tuesday that the FDA had notified the company that the agency would not review its mRNA flu vaccine, the latest sign of federal health policy that has become hostile to vaccine development.
F.D.A. Refuses to Review Moderna Flu Vaccine
The vaccine maker’s shots involve the successful Covid vaccines’ RNA technology. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has broadly rejected it, canceling millions of dollars in research projects.

Dear SCOTUS, does the tone of the Swiss PM sound like an emergency to you? If that sounds as silly to you as to the rest of us, wouldn’t you find it easy to put tariff power back into the hands of the legislature and stop enabling an authoritarian with un-Constitutional power?
Trump: "So I put on a 30% tariff, which is very low. I got an emergency call from I believe the prime minister of Switzerland. She was very aggressive ... I didn't really like the way she talked to us, so instead of giving her a reduction, I raised it to 39%."

How much did your insurance premium increase while the ultra rich get money back?
In related news about the Washington Post and the state of journalism today, Amazon "ran a $1.2 billion tax bill last year, down from $9 billion the previous year, even as its profits jumped by 45% to nearly $90 billion."
That's in the wake of the 2025 tax bill

This isn’t abolish ICE. It isn’t ending the immigrant deportation which Trump won election by promising. It doesn’t stop the admin from going after criminal immigrants. Explain why Trump can’t act to protect American citizens.
