All things considered, I prefer the worm.

25 corporations pretending to honor Pride month have donated $18 million to anti-LGBTQ+ politicians since November 2022.

Ignore the marketing and follow the money.

Is there a list we can share?

With Trump slurring his words again at his speech in the Bronx last week, and more unhinged rants on Truth Social over Memorial Day after standing there cluelessly saluting during “Amazing Grace,” it feels more essential than ever that we get the word out about the danger that Trump’s mental decline poses. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/john-gartner-trump-cognitive-decline

The tricky part is, the more deranged the more his base finds him approachable.

When I was a mere clerk for the 1st circuit appeals court, I wasn't allowed to have a political bumper sticker for fear of creating even the appearance of bias on the court.

How can Justice Alito be allowed to rule on Jan 6-related matters after flying a pro-insurrection flag?

Judge Cannon has postponed Trump's classified documents trial and didn't set a new start date.

The Supreme Court is slow walking Trump's presidential immunity claim, which has delayed his Jan 6 trial.

The federal judiciary is effectively acting like a MAGA campaign arm.

I expect Vivek understands the people in the circles he runs in. He can’t credibly claim to be surprised.

Cops can force suspect to unlock phone with thumbprint, US court rules

Ruling: Thumbprint scan is like a "blood draw or fingerprint taken at booking."

@arstechnica

Typically cops need a reason to book you. Do they need that to force you to open a phone or is this available to any hero on a power trip?

Ginni Thomas was directly involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Yet Clarence Thomas didn't recuse himself from arguments today in a case about the January 6 insurrection.

How is this not a scandal of epic proportions?

I guess maybe because we don’t have a good system for numbering them.

According to the WaPo: “Donald Trump has privately said he could end Russia’s war in Ukraine by pressuring Ukraine to…cede Crimea and the Donbas border region to Russia.” Did we learn nothing from WWII and the danger of appeasement? Give an inch, he'll take it all.

Donnie is not the sort of man who learns.
