Remember how the "retail theft crime wave" disappeared as soon as companies had to do their annual reports? That's because it's illegal to lie to shareholders.

Meanwhile over at the Telegraph, a leader writer wonders if a community taking part in the democratic process means its time to stop "handing citizenship out" to them. The absolute state of this.

McEntee for those of you who don’t know is a wildly misogynistic alpha male TikTok influencer who posts on an account called “Date Right Stuff.” He’s also a failed college quarterback who entered politics through via a Fox News job he got from his industry dad and a viral trick shot YouTube video.

Mississippi is the poorest state in the US.

Even though the state gets federal welfare funds, it is difficult to get welfare.

The money was all getting stolen, and they got away with it.

Now the journalists who exposed the story are facing a lawsuit and jail.

On the same morning, the Court said: 1) We should not presume to know more than small town mayors regarding complex, technical questions like whether to arrest people for being poor. 2) I don't see why a "PhD" in "nuclear physics" should have any latitude to implement ambiguous energy rules.

Call your senators, call your reps. They need to step up and build momentum (and excitement). Also, direct action helps your mental health. I just called mine and I do feel (at least a little) better.

Two things are needed: Biden must change his mind about expanding the court. We must elect intelligent, rational non-maga to Congress. Then, and only then can we expand the court. 13 Circuits. 13 Justices. Dilution is the solution. #Election2024

Here’s the thing about the damage caused by #SCOTUScorruption – IT CAN BE REVERSED. Just like SCOTUS reversed Roe v. Wad, a future SCOTUS can undo the destruction that has been unleashed by the corrupted ideologues sitting in seats for which they are abysmally unqualified.

news isn't talking about chevron much and the generous explanation is that they think it's dense and arcane and hard to understand but if so it's only because you're trying to sound smart about it. "the supreme court just gave itself the power to veto any regulation it wants, whenever it wants"

I think my biggest takeaway from this debate is that any terms the Trump team is willing to accept for a debate are terms that no self-respecting media organization should offer. This “no fact check in real time” rule is extremely damaging and counterproductive for voters.
