“Do you have any concerns about the president's sons profiting off of DOD contracts?” REPUBLICANS: 🤷🏼 🤷🏼♀️🤐 Pathetic.
Someone tell NASA that we found a short cut.
Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Tesla paid just 4.9% of their profits in federal corporate taxes in 2025. They've seen their collective tax bill drop by $95B thanks to two rounds of Trump tax cuts. Meanwhile, tech layoffs in 2026 have already surpassed 2025. Trickle-down economics was always a scam.
Their assets are frozen, construction is suspended, and their deal is under investigation for fraud. SMITE!

Arguing with idiots online again. Someone just told me Cori Bush was less effective than AOC as a left-wing legislator because Cori voted against key pieces of Democrats' legislation. Did people forget that AOC voted against the infrastructure bill too? Their voting records were very similar.
Trump is so damn selfish. Knicks fans deserve better.

Zohran says NYC has erased a $12 billion budget deficit in part by taxing the rich
When @mayor.nyc.gov inherited a fiscal crisis, he refused to put austerity on the table. That refusal moved billions in the state budget. There's work to do in Albany. We can tax the rich far more. But this is what it looks like when you refuse to turn your back on working people.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time: Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves. Q: Why are you running away? Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels. Q: But you’re foxes! Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.
Timothy Snyder@timothysnyder.bsky.social · 2y agoIf you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Symone Sanders Screams About Trump's ICE In Wild Rant

Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again. Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.
Evan Greer@evangreer.bsky.social · 10mo agoSo the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE. There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it. Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance. 24 hours. Go. www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/no-f...
JACK SMITH: “I have seen how the rule of law can erode. My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it.”
On MLK Day, we’ll hear a lot of quotes from people actively dismantling his legacy, including the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. Dr. King’s work was never finished. It was interrupted.
You’ve held your action for the right moment: Now is the time to act.
SCOTUS just rejected Trump’s illegal deployment of the National Guard in Chicago, confirming what we knew all along - that turning the military on the American people is a disgusting misuse of our armed forces. We got lucky this time, but our checks and balances remain under immense strain.
Mark Joseph Stern@mjsdc.bsky.social · 11mo agoNEW: By a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court blocks Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Chicago to assist immigration agents. A majority holds that he likely lacks authority to do so. Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
![The Government asked this Court to stay the District Court's order. After the response and reply were filed, JUSTICE BARRETT referred the application to the Court. We directed the parties to file supplemental letter briefs on an issue that the District Court had addressed but the parties' initial briefs had not: the meaning of the term "regular forces" in §12406(3). In its supplemental brief, the Government argues that the term refers to civilian law enforcement officers, such as those employed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement or the Federal Protective Service.
Respondents, echoing the District Court, maintain that the term refers to the regular forces of the United States mili-tary.
We conclude that the term "regular forces" in §12406(3) likely refers to the regular forces of the United States mili-tary. This interpretation means that to call the Guard into active federal service under §12406(3), the President must be "unable" with the regular military "to execute the laws of the United States." Because the statute requires an assessment of the military's ability to execute the laws, it likely applies only where the military could legally execute the laws. Such circumstances are exceptional: Under the Posse Comitatus Act, the military is prohibited from "execut[ing] the laws" "except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress."
18 U. S. C. §1385. So before the President can federalize the Guard under §12406(3), he likely must have statutory or constitutional authority to execute the laws with the regular military and must be "unable" with those forces to perform that function.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6h7b2i6ttw3l4t7pvbvxdith/bafkreiftbhzwvn3vgwhqsi7k2paizvdw4t26ailljvovso3chqupnmj364)
Yes, I’ve been indicted. But I don’t want people to lose sight of what got us here. Thank you for having me, @chrislhayes.bsky.social on @allinwithchris.bsky.social to discuss why these atrocities need to end and why there needs to be real accountability.
I’m going to win, in the courtroom and on Election Day. But I need your help to do it: katforillinois.com/legal

The post from the Reagan Foundation is just complete gibberish. The ad did not, in fact, misrepresent Reagan's views. But the idea that anyone needs the Reagan Foundation's goddamn permission to use the publicly broadcast official remarks of a former president and/or edit them for brevity is crazy
