doesn't immunity effectively grant dictatorial powers to the POTUS - or just Trump?

The Supreme Court dismissing challenges to the FDA's approval of mifepristone is good news, but the fight's not over.

A MAGA-controlled FDA could effectively ban all abortion medications without even involving the courts or Congress.

Abortion access is on the ballot this fall.

The approval rating of The Supreme Court has plummeted to historic lows. Between the Court's radical rulings and blatant displays of corruption and partisanship, the American people have lost faith in this Court. What can Congress do now to implement real reform and accountability? https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/supreme-court-recusal-reform-alito

The only people that approve this court are those that benefit from the corruption, and idiots

it's too bad the movie Nyad got out there first, with a stellar cast.

timing.

Trump's most obvious lies (like pretending he never led chants of "lock her up) are perhaps the most disturbing.

Telling lies that everyone knows are lies is a classic tactic of dictators to force their followers to side with them over the truth itself.

There are so many bad parts of Trump's economic agenda, I can't decide what's worst?

Which of these do you think is the worst?

he can focus on 3 things at once right? he has focus teams that can prepare special campaigns?

Trump asked Big Oil to give him $1 billion for his campaign last month.

He promised lower taxes and to gut environmental regulations in return.

Big Oil CEOs already appear to be taking him up on the offer, inviting Trump to a fundraiser in Houston yesterday.

Be warned.

The Appeal to Heaven flag isn't just tied to Jan 6.

It's a Christian nationalist symbol.

Christian nationalists believe that the law of the land is not the Constitution, but instead the law of God as they interpret it.

Do you see the problem with Alito flying this flag?

In his speech to the NRA, Trump yet again suggested he might serve more than two terms.

The 22nd Amendment bars that, but if the 14th Amendment didn't apply to him, why should any others?

If Trump wins, do you believe he will leave office at the end of a second term?

@rbreich
I think Trump will declare himself the winner even if he loses this election.

What happens next depends on whether people go to war over it.

Effective tax rates before and after the Trump tax law:

Verizon

After: 17%

AT&T

After: 3%

Walt Disney

This is what a corporate giveaway looks like.
