The first argument the Supreme Court is going to take up next session is to rule that legislators will be able to bypass the vote of the people and install one of their fascist politicians instead. Remove their financing, shut down this criminal court while you can.
@POTUS Today I signed an Executive Order to protect the reproductive rights of women in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s extreme decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. It formalizes the actions I announced right after the decision and will add new measures to protect women’s health.
Louisiana can enforce its ban on almost all abortions under a judge’s order amid a flurry of court challenges to state “trigger” laws crafted to take effect when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, who has been a staunch defender of efforts to outlaw abortion across the state.
This is your daily reminder that President Biden can #CancelStudentDebt with the stroke of a pen.
Ten GOP voters have formed a super pac for Shapiro.
Pennsylvania is cutting reproductive rights in the middle of the night!
John Fetterman for Pennsylvania Senate and Josh Shapiro for Governor. Remember Philadelphia PA is the birthplace of liberty! #FettermanPASenate #VoteBlueToSaveDemocracy
@JohnFetterman While you slept last night, the PA GOP started pushing a constitutional amendment to ban the right to an abortion in PA. This is a full on assault on women. If they succeed, by this time next year PA could have the same abortion laws as TX. We can’t let that happen. Judy Ward, who sponsored this bill was one of 88 state legislators who signed a letter to have Pence overturn the Jan. 6th certification.
This Irishman has something to say:
“Is the US a functioning democracy? Let’s have a look at it.”
EU parliament votes 324-155 to condemn us supreme court overturning roe v wade
Justice Alito’s opinion is not based in American law but English law, citing Hale. Beyond disturbing for Women to be treated as property, chattel.
The unborn are not persons according to the US Constitution, and Jewish law. For last several decades europe has been most closely aligned with the us. if that’s changing it’s noteworthy.The European Parliament is going on record in defense of basic human rights for all people. The Supreme Court of the United States has abandoned its post, degrading rights protections, in seeking to deny women & girls full legal personhood. Theocracy is lawlessness. Almost 70% of the European Parliament expresses the opinion that our Supreme Court did the wrong thing morally, ethically, and legally. They have no power over us, but look at world opinion. It means something. Every time we lose standing, or respect, for who we have been globally, it presents further risks to our credibility, even our currency and our economic trustworthiness. Average Americans had better get a clue about the radical right, and what their ascendancy will mean to us all. Wait till European businesses start deciding which States they operate in.
Trump Stook us back 100 years. His political tool, the Supreme Court
David Brooks: “We’ve got this perverse situation in which the vast analytic powers of the entire world are being spent trying to understand a guy whose thoughts are often just six fireflies beeping randomly in a jar.”
The Rule of Law is long gone. Bush v Gore was so far OUT of any norm that it effectively shattered any illusion that we could get things together. The odds (butterfly ballot) of GWB winning were one in a billion. Yet we said “OK, that must have happened”. The Supreme Court will destroy K12 public education and overturn Brown vs. Board of Education.
Gov DeSantis, who has been backed by Koch-funded PACs in the past, is promoting a new teacher training program involving lesson plans created by Koch’s Bill of Right Institute. #UnKochEducation
“What is the ACP and how will it help my students?” The FCC’s American Connectivity Program (ACP) is a federal program to help eligible households pay for internet service.
The far-right is taking us to an incredibly dark place.
The Supreme Court will hear a big case about whether religion is a license to discriminate. This is unlikely to go well for LGBTQ people.

The outrageous decision was made in Davidson County, TN: ruled that taxpayer-funded establishments can deny services to Jews.
Chancery Court in Davidson County, Tennessee, has ruled .
Jewish couple’s discrimination lawsuit dismissed after rejection from Christian foster home
The secular legal group Americans United for Separation of Church and State, which represents the couple, intends to appeal the panel decision.
How far is this Davidson county away from where they banned Maus??
Holston refuses service to Jews as a matter of internal *policy*! The court allowed this policy to stand and denied standing _only_ because the couple got services elsewhere. “There is a lunch counter down the street go eat there!” So, “yes” separate but equal. The Christian group is saying part of their purpose is to indoctrinate foster children into Christianity. Foster placement isn’t always meant to be permanent. Some kids return to their parents. It seems wrong for the government to fund Christian recruitment. Christo-fascist Nazis pollute Tennessee with their open antisemitism aided by their courts.
MOSCOW MITCH MCCONNELL BROKE SCOTUS
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez demands the impeachment of Supreme Court Justices Kavanaugh & Gorsuch for lying to Senators about their views on Roe v. Wade, declares that “there must be consequences” because it sets a “dangerous” precedent.”
“It’s not enough to tell people to vote”: Omar calls to investigate justices who “lied under oath”
Rep. Ilhan Omar calls for a full impeachment investigation into Justice Clarence Thomas‘s role in the Jan. 6th Trump coup attempt as well as into Gorsuch, Alito, Barett, and Kavanaugh for lying under oath during their confirmation hearings.
Progressive Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has demanded that the House of Representatives begin an “impeachment investigation” into Supreme Court justices who were part of the majority opinion in the recent decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.
Omar called for a “comprehensive plan to fix this court,” and stated that “the Senate should get rid of the filibuster to codify Roe v Wade into law.”
Former Oath Keepers chief Stewart Rhodes has asked the Jan. 6 committee, through his lawyer, to testify publicly and in person at a forthcoming hearing. This is really bad news for Trump.
The IRS will investigate whether the Trump Administration illegally targeted James Comey and Andrew McCabe with rare, intensive IRS audits. According to Harvard Law Professor Laurence Tribe, this would be a a serious crime.
@DanRather This IRS story is a grave and serious issue. It could strike at the very heart of power and the rule of law. There are many questions and speculations. We need answers. Wherever they may lead.
Stone … declined to cooperate with the select committee in an interview, asserting his fifth amendment right against self-incrimination.
“Among others who appear in the documentary are the House Republican Paul Gosar, former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, and Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn”
Roger Stone and Stop the Steal leaders were followed by a second documentary film crew before the Capitol attack — that also recorded key moments in timeline, including ‘rehearsal’ rallies and the days leading up to Jan. 6. These guys were so confident that they’d get away with it that they documented the entire thing so they could present themselves as heroes afterwards. Just like their hero Hitler. Among others who appear in the documentary are the House Republican Paul Gosar, former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, and Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
The owner of the Las Vegas Raiders drops bombshell, announces that they will “welcome” Colin Kaepernick to join the Raiders “with open arms — & declares that Kaepernick “deserves the chance” because he “sacrificed” for an “important” cause.
Avg cost of a Big Mac in New Hampshire, which has $7.25 minimum wage: $4.83
Avg cost of a Big Mac in Washington, which has $14.49 minimum wage: $4.67
The minimum wage in WA is DOUBLE of NH, and yet a burger is still cheaper. Raising wages doesn’t mean inflation has to happen.
So when Elon Musk pretended to buy Twitter and exclaimed “anything that comes out in the next few weeks is a political hit-job” — was all to cover up for having twins with his employee? One party is passing laws that are forcing 10-year-olds to give birth, one party isn’t. This shouldn’t be a difficult choice.
