Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

The vast majority of our outlets are owned by right-wing billionaires and last night our most prominent political reporters spent an hour chuckling along with a clearly senile Republican president as he insulted them incoherently. Here's why our media has a liberal bias problem.

"I understand journalists want to be neutral. But if you're a journalist in the US, you have an obligation to be biased— in favor of democracy. And Trump is anti-democratic... The longer the press pretends that Trump is not an enemy of their profession, the more runway he has to undermine them."

Her nullification of the settlement does NOT end the settlement, per se. Her ruling here punishes the government for dragging the court into their scheme, but until we get a new president, Blanche and Trump can still do this on their own, but it's illegal. Though, who is going to stop them?
