@arstechnica Wouldn't that be covered by homeowner's insurance?

@georgetakei People like this seem to be endlessly coming out the woodwork, like swarms of flies attracted to 💩. It's insane this is occurring in America in the 21st century!

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 That, and even more Judge Cannon delay tactics over classified documents and spending all her time addressing chronic Republican challenges, now to the appropriateness of Jack Smith having been assigned.

Louisiana's GOP governor signed a law requiring public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments.

Project 2025, developed by MAGA allies, has plans to infuse ‘Christian nationalism’ in a Trump second term.

Republicans are coming for the separation of church and state.

@rbreich These "Talibangelicals" have taken over Louisiana and ready to shove their version of authoritarian "religion" down everyone's throat. And I imagine they are gleefully aware of now being the ruling "status quo", as least in Louisiana.

Tell me: how does it make sense that an entry-level federal employee is subject to more stringent ethics rules than Supreme Court justices?

Ron DeSantis signed a law that prevents municipalities in Florida from requiring that employers provide shade and water breaks for outdoor workers.

A study found that heat-related deaths in FL shot up by 88% between 2019 and 2022.

Folks, this is the GOP's vision for America.

@rbreich And then there are efforts to end child labor protection laws. The Louisiana Governor was quoted elsewhere that kids working for him didn't want to stop working for a lunch break!
Yep, let's treat our children like another disposable commodity.

Four years ago today, Donald Trump suggested Americans could be injected with disinfectant to fight covid.

If anyone asks you: "Are you better off than you were four years ago," the answer is a resounding yes.

@rbreich Well, he did state for the record, “I had an uncle who went to MIT who is a top professor. Dr. John Trump. A genius. It’s in my blood. I’m smart.”

Trump’s attempted coup continues.

Phase 1: His refusal to concede.

Phase 2: His plot to overturn the election.

Phase 3: Discredit and undermine the criminal justice system to avoid accountability.

These are the three central elements of his presidential campaign. Be warned.

@rbreich Well, there is precedent to being bound and gagged while attending your own trial.

Remember: Most billionaires are not “self-made.” They’re made via a combination of inherited wealth, government subsidies, tax loopholes, labor exploitation, and policy failures. Can we stop perpetuating a myth that blames wealth inequality on the choices of everyday Americans?
