Last year’s Republican budget megabill is devastating rural Virginia. Twelve clinics and hospital services have closed since it passed all in rural communities that can least afford to lose care. This is what happens when your rural health care is gutted to fund tax cuts for billionaires.
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 historic night with @abdulelsayed.bsky.social’s victory. With Abdul, @melatkirosco.bsky.social, Mayor Mamdani, and more, Black and Brown children, and those of minority faith, are seeing America reject Trump’s exclusionary rhetoric on what it means to be American. They too can achieve anything.

Another GOP incumbent not seeking re-election. They’re all panicking about the midterms.

It’s bad. Ukraine is still effectively hitting both inside Russia and occupied Crimea almost daily, but Putin (as usual) is targeting population centers instead of legitimate military targets.
And noise pollution.

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.

"15 companies with investment from President Trump’s sons have garnered $3.2 billion in federal contracts, investments, and loans — most coming after Trump took office for the second time." Democrats are leading the charge, Republicans couldn't care less. wapo.st/4yWmGps
Lawmakers call for Pentagon probe of Trump family-backed companies
The letter to the Pentagon’s inspector general was prompted by reporting from The Post that startups affiliated with the president’s sons have won $3.2 billion in defense contracts.

The problem is, even if there is a process, it relies on people being transparent and the senate enforcing the rules. And that is clearly not going to happen in this regime.
"McConnell, 68, received credible death threats. A MAGA activist doxed his daughter. Two Republicans in Congress started impeachment proceedings against him. An insurance company even canceled McConnell’s homeowner’s policy" This is what happens when thugs are allowed to run wild. wapo.st/4yUVsjf
This federal judge ruled against Trump. Then the threats began.
U.S. District Judge John McConnell’s experience is emblematic of the climate facing jurists, whether nominated by Democratic or Republican presidents.
