OMG. SCOTUS is hearing the peasants with torches and pitchforks
#BREAKING: Over public dissents from Justices Thomas and Alito, #SCOTUS *denies* the Trump administration’s request for a stay in the mail-in ballots case.

The USPS Rule will remain blocked—almost certainly through the midterms.

Republicans’ midterm convention last night featured Ross Ulbricht, who was sentenced to life in prison for creating a digital drug market.

He’s one of the many white collar criminals pardoned by Trump, oftentimes in exchange for hefty donations.

Here’s what you need to know.

Trump promised in 2024 he would deliver a "brand new economic boom".

Two years later, his economy is crumbling under record high debt and inflation.

He's running the country like he ran his businesses — right into the ground.

Let’s set the record straight: Trump is not a “successful businessman.” He is, objectively, a business failure.

In my decades of public service, I have rarely been as angry as I was the day the damning inspector general’s report was released about the EPA's response to the World Trade Center collapse.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 93%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 34%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Any sweeping systemic change you want to make in the United States has to begin with adding seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. No major reform bill will survive the current court. No civil rights law, no anti-corruption law, no wealth tax, nothing.

Almost 3 AM in Ukraine.

Atis and I are lying in the corridor again.

I know in the basement could be safer.
But I’m so exhausted I don’t even have
The strength to run there anymore.

So we lie here.
Listening.
Waiting.
Hoping nothing reaches us tonight.
