If #Democrats hold the White House and win both houses of Congress, #SCOTUS reform just might pass.

#ElonMusk's #trans daughter has had enough: "Calling me dead on a podcast with JORDAN PETERSON of all people while basically admitting you have zero reading comprehension by saying you were 'tricked' into signing documents that you read over multiple times is basically a parody of itself... This entire thing is completely made up and there’s a reason for this. He doesn’t know what I was like as a child because he quite simply wasn’t there..." https://www.advocate.com/elon-musk-trans-daughter-vivian-wilson

The only thing dumber than a Yale-educated venture capitalist claiming to be the voice for the #WorkingClass is the speed with which U.S. corporate media have gotten on board with such obvious bullshit. #JDVance #USPol https://www.commondreams.org/news/jd-vance-working-class

#Republican judges: "Rule of law? We don't got to show you no stinkin' rule of law!" #Trump #MaraLago https://www.commondreams.org/news/donald-trump-classified-documents

Don't believe the new #Republican "moderation" on #abortion. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/07/republican-national-committee-2024-platform-gop-abortion-stance-has-not-softened.html

So Trump has realized that #Project2025 is politically toxic and wants to distance himself from it -- and the political press is falling for it? Really?

Bernie Sanders is, of course, right about the urgent need for #SCOTUS reform, but with Republicans controlling the House, it can't pass this year even if Dems 100% united behind a plan. With a corrupt, political Supreme Court in place to decide any #2024election disputes, will next year be too late? Houston, we have a problem. https://www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-sanders-supreme-court

@Strandjunker I read "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" last year and it scared the daylights out of me. History doesn't quite repeat, but it sure as hell rhymes, and we are now in 1932.

@fencepost Friends don't let friends use #Facebook!

#Denver just proved what should have been blindingly obvious: Giving direct cash payments to #unhoused people helps them to become housed. It also saves money, as these folks use fewer costly public services. #poverty #homelessness https://denverite.com/2024/06/18/denver-basic-income-project-results/

Politico reports that "#AIPAC is biggest source of #GOP donations in Dem primaries." #Democrats, are you okay with this?

About #Trump's meeting with #GOP congressional leaders: "Sources told the nonprofit news outlet NOTUS that Trump rambled like a 'drunk uncle' and that he said one of Pelosi’s daughters told him that he and Pelosi could have been a couple." Isn't it time for the mass media to talk about the Orange Turd's obvious cognitive decline and apparent #dementia? Maybe as much attention as they give to Biden's age? Biden may look physically frail, but he's at least coherent. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-capitol-hill-republicans_n_666b263fe4b0dabf8cf6d8cd

Just in case you weren't convinced that MAGA is completely deranged, The Federalist just did a hit piece on -- wait for it -- Dolly Parton.

@subjacentish @broadwaybabyto Indeed they did and do. I had a bit of adventure with the #FooFighters when they were promoting #AIDS denialism: https://48hills.org/2021/05/opinion-aids-denialism-in-the-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame/

You might want to sit down before reading this. #DonaldTrump is lying again.

"Chief Justice #JohnRoberts and the other justices should think very hard about their next steps because their colleague, Justice Sam #Alito, has made it perfectly clear with this response that he thinks the ethics rules are a joke and that we are rubes for even thinking that he should be held to them."-- @chrisgeidner

MAGA #SCOTUS upholds gerrymandered map that "exiled" Black voters, and -- hold on for a big surprise! -- #Alito wrote the opinion. https://www.commondreams.org/news/supreme-court-gerrymandering-south-carolina

@br00t4c I'm rooting for the orcas.

@DeliaChristina You knew things were nuts when people on the right kept acting like Obama was some sort of radical. 🙄
