@TomWellborn Kay Ivey and the rest of the GOP can go fuck themselves. They cause this.

Why do we call them “central banks” and not “apex creditors”?

The ever flip flopping Lindsey Graham has supported Trump and his taking of classified documents but has it right saying that any leak of classified docs put our ability to protect ourselves at risk.

"Thomas must pay ($71,316 per violation)

This Sunday, my colleague Sarah Turberville and I filed a complaint demanding that DOJ's Civil Division seek civil monetary penalties against Justice Clarence Thomas for his flagrant violations of the financial disclosure law, unless an investigation turns up exculpatory evidence. We made clear that we've had enough of DOJ treating politicians like Thomas as though they're above the law"

A Special Counsel must be appointed to investigate Clarence Thomas. He is a one man scandal machine. My new article on Thomas and the latest scandal/crime involving Thomas reported today: https://deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/a-special-counsel-must-be-appointed

This is the kind of world the Reepublican Party has created. One in which the same town has been host to two mass shootings in 7 years.

"Dadeville was hit by at least one prior mass shooting when a gunman on Aug. 28, 2016, wounded five people during a party at the American Legion Hall."

From 1989 to 2019, typical working families saw a negligible increase in wealth.

Meanwhile, the wealthiest one percent got $29 trillion richer in those same 30 years.

It’s bad for our economy. Worse for our democracy.

Imagine telling an author who wrote a book literally about the racist interment of Japanese people during WWII (which btw, is way worse than you've heard; we're taught in school that they were just locked up for a while - dawg, our government took everything those people had and just fucking gave it away. Really. It wasn't just prison; they lost everything) to do it without saying the word racism? Absolute crackery. Appeasing fascists at every turn.

@hannu_ikonen my wife's aunt developed psychosis after getting COVID years ago (she had no previous history of mental health issues) she's permanently on antipsychotics now, has long COVID & depression on top of that... Makes you wonder just what the fuck COVID is doing to your body? It's not "just like the flu" it's bloody dangerous!

They have returned as national heroes

Florida is getting real scary real fast. They will now allow death penalty sentences with an 8-4 jury vote instead of unanimous, they’ve passed a bill to make sex crimes against children punishable by death, and they’re working to make being trans near children a sex crime. For all the “it could never happen here” folks, we’re inching closer to state sanctioned mass murder all the time.

As you finish your taxes, it's a good time to remember that Donald Trump is likely once again paying ZERO this year.

Clarence Thomas should follow the Abe Fortas precedent and resign gracefully
