It is to acknowledge the other person's rights before asserting your own, but always to be conscious of your own."
Donald Trump is using the Trump family crypto businesses to make himself richer. Any crypto bill must ban Trump and his family from profiting off crypto. Otherwise, Congress is turbocharging corruption.

As the government raids “antifa groups” in Minneapolis with the SAME charges levied against myself and the rest of the Broadview Six, we need to be asking how they got this indictment. And as charges (hopefully) get dropped, we must remember the process is the punishment.
A federal judge ordered the Trump regime to reinstall signs and exhibits on topics like slavery and climate change in national parks.

SCOTUS will allow Alabama to use a congressional map that a lower court found intentionally discriminated against Black voters. A Court so fundamentally hostile to the rights of minority voters places it at odds with democracy itself. This is Chief Justice John Roberts’ legacy.
crazy that under the precedent set by callais, a lily-white congressional delegation formed by "partisan" gerrymandering in a plurality black state passes constitutional muster, while any majority-minority district is constitutionally suspect
