By withholding a ruling on Trump v. United States, the Supreme Court's far-right justices are effectively giving Trump the immunity he's seeking, making it all but impossible for him to face trial before the election for his efforts to overturn the election and his role in Jan 6.
@rbreich The sad part is that there is nothing we can do about a politically corrupt Court since it is a political institution in the first place.
We really dropped the ball on this when it was possible to create a balanced court.
In the years after Trump's tax cuts, S&P 500 corporations spent $2.72 trillion on stock buybacks to enrich wealthy shareholders. That's more than what they spent on investments in plants and technology to boost production and create jobs. So much for trickling down, huh?
Speaker Johnson is adding Scott Perry to the House Intel Committee.
Perry sought a pardon for his key role in trying to overturn the 2020 election. People who try to overthrow the U.S gov't don't belong in the House, let alone on the Intel Committee.
I can't believe I even have to say this, but it is not normal that the Supreme Court is taking its sweet time to decide if the president can incite an insurrection to overturn an election and maintain power. This should have been decided already. The answer is no!
@rbreich He will not leave office gracefully after exercising every legal effort to circumvent the 22nd Amendment.
Trump believes that laws apply elsewhere, not to him.
@rbreich Plastic has almost completely replaced glass across the spectrum of food and drink packaging.
It saves shipping costs.
Our environmental future be damned and our rotten, corrupt government allows it to happen.
4 years ago today, Dr. Fauci contradicted Trump's claim that Covid would magically go away before the fall. After that, Fauci was sidelined from public briefings & barred from speaking to press.
During the greatest national crisis of our time, all Trump cared about was his ego
