Impeach SCOTUS6
Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people.
By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s.
Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:
1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics
Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

Trump’s name ripped off the Kennedy Center — but not before they put up scaffolding AND a massive curtain to shield the public from watching.
Peak petty. Peak fragile. Peak humiliation.

🚨Trump has a complete MELTDOWN on Meet the Press.
Kristen Welker presses him on his wild California election conspiracies. Trump calls her crooked, calls the press crooked, and throws a tantrum about how unfair everything is.
Then he storms out mid-interview like a toddler who lost at recess. 🍼🤣

After Amazon gave $1M to Trump's inauguration, Trump installed Amazon's former lawyer to head the NLRB.
Now the agency has ended a major case investigating Amazon's mistreatment of its contract drivers with a slap-on-the-wrist settlement.
This is what a quid pro quo looks like.

What Trump Delivered for Amazon
The feds were pushing a landmark case about Amazon’s control of its contract drivers. Then the president put Amazon’s former lawyer in charge.
