The DOW went pass 4000
It was at 2000 in 1980-81.
President Biden is doing more than the Supreme Court to deliver for the American people—lowering student debt costs and expanding the middle class to millions. Expanding early childhood education is possible—and that starts with billionaires paying their FAIR share.
America’s billionaires are working hard to transform our democracy into an oligarchy. Historically, this sort of thing leads to civil war.
One-third of Amazon warehouse workers are on food stamps, Medicaid or other government assistance, according to a new survey.
Can someone explain why taxpayers like you and me have to subsidize profits for a man worth $206 billion?
Once you literally steal an election in broad daylight (2000) and everyone just … moves on, the permission structure to do everything that has flowed since then is enormous. And if it was one state, not six, at issue in 2020, they’d have done it again.
“Trump Advisor Roger Stone Confirms Ties to Alleged Anti-gay ‘Hate’ Church [Coral Ridge] Linked to the CNP & America First Policy Institute (AFPI).” CNP members led various efforts to overturn Trump’s loss. AFPI is led by Stone’s friend Larry Kudlow.
Leonard Leo was sent a subpoena.
He said he won’t honor it. Where’s the law that gives him a free pass?
It’s cool that the Supreme Court is now an entirely illegitimate institution that serves as a judicial arm of the Republican Party, and we’re supposed to just pretend that there’s nothing that should be done to fix it.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chair calls for Samuel Alito’s recusal from January 6 cases
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
STATEMENT OF THE COURT
REGARDING THE CODE OF CONDUCT
https://www.supremecourt.gov/about/Code-of-Conduct-for-Justices_November_13_2023.pdf

frequent transactions or continuing business relationships
with lawyers likely to appear before the Court or other
persons likely to come before the Court
Jim Walton dropped $500K last month to fight a ballot measure that would make private schools that get vouchers (ie, public funds) to meet the same standards as public schools. That’s a lot of $$$. Though not when you’re worth $78.4 billion.
“I’ve never heard anything like this in the entire history of every controversy I’ve ever known about with the United States Supreme Court.” Rachel Maddow reacts to a NYT report that an upside-down flag, a symbol of Stop The Steal, flew over Justice Alito’s house after Jan. 6.
Alito and his wife were linking themselves publicly to violent extremists by displaying that flag. That’s why the neighbors *feared reprisals* and stayed silent.
A MAGA “STOP THE STEAL” symbol was prominently displayed on conservative justice Samuel Alito’s property at the same time as the Supreme Court weighed in on an election case.
This is a crazy story and deserves an ethics inquiry to dig further into Alito’s breach of rules.
A) does anyone believe his wife doesn’t know the basic ethical standards of the court? B) doesn’t matter whether she does; he does, & he let it fly. C) he blames a rude yard sign by a neighbor. He doesn’t like a yard sign so, y’know, fuck ethics on the highest court?
@RonWyden May 16 @SenWhitehouse and I are demanding details on Clarence Thomas’s forgiven luxury RV loan and potential violations of tax laws. No one is above the law, not even Supreme Court justices.
Leonard Leo ally Timothy Busch calls SCOTUS the “Leo Court,” explaining that Trump “radically changed” the direction of SCOTUS by appointing (anti-abortion) justices “shepherded” by Leo, who he says is “one of the big supporters of the Napa Institute” (founded by Busch).
GOP Rep. Bob Good admits on Fox Business that Republicans are helping Trump violate his gag order: “That’s why we went up there — so we could say the things that this corrupt judge is not allowing him to say.” Good then attacks the judge’s daughter.
Even after the GOP stole that SCOTUS seat from Obama, the Christian Right did not have enough SCOTUS justices to reverse Roe. This changed w/ the “surprise” retirement of Justice Kennedy who had often voted to support abortion rights, per Christian Right lawyer Josh Bursch.
@DavidPepper Countless states no longer resemble viable democracies.
Many also lack the rule of law.
These states resemble Orban’s Hungary more than they do healthy democracies.
Many members of Congress came from the legislatures of these states.
Power without democracy or accountability is all they’ve ever known.

The Warren & Gensler Anti-Crypto Army is losing the support of key democrats.
The American people want an open internet and the option to use crypto.
Crypto shouldn’t be partisan.
Pro-crypto is pro-American values.
The US Senate just voted 60-38 to overturn SAB 121
This is a BIG deal!
It is the 1st crypto bill to get to the President
It also sends a message to @SECGov that they are screwing up
