Mike Rogers wants us divided. But there is so much more that unites us than sets us apart. The power is ours. This land was made for you and me.

holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!
It’s been 166 days since SCOTUS struck down Trump’s illegal tariff taxes & big corporations are getting their refunds. $2.2 BILLION for Apple, $600 MILLION for Amazon, $300 million for Nike. When are American families going to see the $1,700 they're owed? Return the money, NOW.
Corporate America got billions of dollars in tariff refunds. Where’s your cut? | CNN Business
Apple got an estimated $2.2 billion tariff refund last quarter. Amazon got $600 million. Nike got $300 million. But American consumers who paid higher prices as President Donald Trump’s tariffs filter...

BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.
Let’s see what Toady Blanche gives New Mexico - seems like they should get it all and Unredacted.
Forbes@forbes.com · 4h agoThe state said it needs the records to investigate allegations of abuse at Epstein’s Zorro Ranch.
Interesting to hear what they come up with. They have subpoena power. And there are state crimes that can be charged. It actually worries me that they are coordinating with the Justice Department (read Todd Blanche and Trump). Watch Trump declare a “national emergency” and “take” the property.

Eric Trump has spent four years insisting Capital One owed his family an explanation. He finally got one. It's not going great. 👇 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/twelve-day...
Twelve Days Before Trump’s Bank Cut Him Off, Somebody Wrote A Memo
Capital One hasn’t released it. The Trumps’ own lawyers described it in a filing nobody read. Plus 25 states in court over the tariffs, and the nurse ICE picked the wrong fight with.

Face it. The Court is captured by right-wing billionaire interests, just the way railroad barons used to capture the railroad rate commissions, or mining barons the mine safety commissions. Look up “regulatory capture” or “agency capture.” thehill.com/opinion/judi...
Just admit it: The Supreme Court is political
Let’s face it, the Supreme Court has dug itself into a hole, and it just keeps digging.

A second man, Edwin Lopez-Cornejo, has died at Delaney Hall, the inhumane ICE detention center run by private prison contractor GEO Group. GEO Group’s profits have soared by over 700% since Trump has been back in office. Imagine profiting from death and suffering. Deplorable.

Trump promised to get the National Debt lowered. In fact he said he’d eliminate our $19T debt. Under him, it’s now approaching $40T. To make matters worse, we’re losing revenue from the immigrants leaving & tax cuts to the wealthy! #Blues
This is freaking scary. Blanche will now decide who goes to what prison? Or Trump decides? WTF?
