For several years
– since conservatives, gained a six-three majority on the bench thanks to Donald Trump’s nominations during his first presidency
– the court has been delivering transformative rulings that have reverberated across the social and political landscape.
In 2022, it overturned Roe v Wade, ending the constitutional right to abortion that had existed for nearly half-a-century.
In July 2024, in a far-reaching decision, it granted Trump
– and, by exten…

Senator Murphy:
It’s pretty wild that the corruption is so brazen, is so transparent.
Vought sent out this tweet yesterday saying, I’m canceling energy projects in the following states, and listed the states.
And every single one of them is a state represented by two Democratic senators.
And the one Democratic senator who voted for the Republican continuing resolution
—that senator’s state wasn’t on the list.
So, you know, it’s just there for everybody to s…

Folks, Dr. Abdullah (@…), one of our Gaza Verified members, was working at the heart of the danger zone in Al Shifa hospital until the last minute.
He has now safely made it to the South, in part thanks to your donations during our Gaza Verified Emergency Appeal last week.
He still needs help… $500-$800 as he just told me for basic necessitie…

Our trip down Müller's play started over a decade ago, with rehearsals finally starting a year before the pandemic. The script has so many facets, it's imperative to give a production a unique focus. It took us until 2024 to find ours: Amidst all the brutality and perversion, it's a love story.

I am really really TIRED of Democrats telling us what's happening as if we don't have eyes of our own. The only reason they exist at all is to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
I have yet to witness any Democrat calling people to arms in any way, advocating for any kind of or resistance, putting themselves out there as leaders around which we could rally.
Kamala is out on a book tour. @…

I've skimmed the actual text of the so-called "flag burning" executive order.
It is a more dangerous order than it looks.
The EO looks at "desecration", a more expansive concept than "burning".
It leverages other laws, such as a local "no burn day" order (often used in forested areas during high fire risk situations), to initiate deportation and other punitive responses that may themsevles happen too quickly for a trial or any min…

The White House announced an attempt to claw back $4.9 billion in foreign aid funds without congressional approval,
drawing the ire of Democrats and appropriators and increasing the chances of a shutdown.
Such a move had not been made in nearly a half-century,
and it is expected to face legal challenges.
It also comes two months after GOP lawmakers approved the first rescissions package worth $9 billion
that targeted global aid programs and the Corporation for…
