This is absolute insanity.

Just the seawall for Trump’s golf course will cost $304.5 million and take 2½ to 3½ years to complete. Yet they’ve conveniently omitted the total redevelopment cost, where the money will come from, and the project timeline.

Raskin: We now have the first-person accounts of five different women saying that they were sexually assaulted by Trump. And then we have another six women, for a total of 11, who link him to the whole network of sex trafficking of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

After Ossoff wins reelection it'll be worth unpacking how he matched really good oppo research on the Nazis who work for Mike Collins with relentless messaging about it.

And maybe even interviews w/Georgians about bringing back shame.
"Within an hour of The Post calling Hatzistefanou, several posts containing slurs or other extreme language were removed from the profile. At that time, Hatzistefanou was the only person The Post had contacted about the account."

Social account linked to former Mike Collins aide posted slurs, calls for violence
The staffer works for Rep. Daniel Webster and previously worked for Senate hopeful Collins, who has faced scrutiny for former staffers expressing extreme views online.

Welcome to the Deep State™️, SCOTUS!
BREAKING: The Supreme Court has rejected the Trump administration’s bid to force California to set aside votes from up to 20,000 registered voters the administration claims are likely noncitizens.

No noted dissent.

Absolutely. My favorite pastor (yes, I have one), Rev. Cremer, always hits the nail on the head. If only all self-professed Christians felt this way.

Dockworkers went on strike across 113 ports in 22 countries to disrupt the transport of weapons of war, in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

New Yorkers stand with them. When working people unite in their power, we build a better world.

Dockworkers do not work for war.

Since SCOTUS destroyed the Voting Rights Act, Southern states can now redraw a dozen majority-Black districts in time for the 2028 elections, triggering the largest drop in Black congressional representation since the end of Reconstruction.

And that’s just the beginning.
Jim Crow was on the ash heap of history. Then came the Roberts court.
The disaster the justices have unleashed has its roots in one of the darkest periods of our past.
