MAJOR BREAKING: In a 5-4 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court held that states may count mail-in ballots that are postmarked on or before Election Day, even if they arrive afterward.

Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh dissented.

Must read from Dean Blundell! ⬇️⬇️

SCOTUS just made it permanent: Trump is an adjudicated sexual abuser. No court above them. No more appeals. The label is welded on for life.

🚨 BREAKING: It’s Permanent. The Supreme Court Just Welded “Sexual Abuser” To Donald Trump’s Forehead Forever — And His Truth Social Meltdown This Morning Proves He Knows It
He has zero legal options left to strike the label from the record. There is no court above SCOTUS. And his Truth Social tantrum this morning is already drafting Defamation Suit #3.

My father-in-law is a retired federal agent. The start of his career coincided with the Civil Service Reform Act. And his stories about the decades it took to root out the corruption that was allowed to fester before that make me very worried about how long it'll take to fix what SCOTUS did today.
Slaughter is an earthquake: SCOTUS has overturned a 90-year-old precedent that facilitated much of modern governance by granting many agencies meaningful independence from the president. Now SCOTUS crushes that independence ... for seemingly every agency except the Federal Reserve.

AMAZING: Protesters are now tearing down barricades at a beach in southern Albania, saying that the land belongs to the people and not to oligarchs like Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. Share everywhere to show your support!

So much water in the desert...this pool on the lower Paria River has been changing over the past couple of years. I've waded it when it was thigh-deep; on this trip one could skirt around to the left.

I know that this $1.8 billion slush fund is just the beginning.

Donald Trump is corrupt, immoral, and he will do anything to get rich.

That is why I am running for Congress, because I am not going to sit back and watch him steal money from YOUR wallets, just to stuff his pockets.

Not impressed by the BBC's coverage of what was possibly the largest Russian attack on Kyiv of the war yet. It reads like copy/paste text. Ugh. A symptom of the declining media interest in Russia's war on Ukraine.

The Oreshnik missile, which reportedly travels over 10 times the speed of sound, was used, Russia has confirmed.

Imagine hundreds of drones and dozens of ballistic missiles raining down on Chicago, LA, DC or New York and the BBC puts the story on the sidebar, below human interest pieces about football fans. Would you not be enraged?

Too many people have accepted Donald Trump’s presidency as "normal."

Too many believe there is nothing we can do, and that we simply need to outlast his term.

We cannot endure another 29 months with this mendacious, narcissistic, rapist, wannabe dictator who is selling us out to the highest bidder
