Now it's cutting nutrition education for recipients of food assistance.

FCC Officials Took Gifts From Paramount While It Had Business Before Them — ProPublica

Accepting tickets to the Kennedy Center honors gala compromised the commissioners’ impartiality, ethics experts told ProPublica. FCC Chair Brendan Carr has been gifted at least $63,000 worth of tickets by CBS or its parent company.

It's important to understand thought processes so as to counter it.

The MAGA crowd that's taken over the GOP lately really lacks intellectual rigor, so their mainstream thought patterns lean heavily into confirmation bias and personalities.

In this case, when you listen to them they've listed Graham as a good person, largely because he's told them what they want to hear, confirming their biases. Ok, so GIVEN THAT he's a good person, why is he good? Well, they point to his upbringing, and the sister is part of that story and had the same upbringing.

Ergo, they see the sister as being just as qualified. And heck, they're kind of right... she's equally unqualified too.

Lack of government experience is often seen as a positive in their book since the mean old government victimized them.

For the last couple of days I've heard mainstream conservatives outright praising Graham for things like bombing the SAT. They are considered merits in their book.

"Senator Graham was never disagreeable"

How marvellous that Schiff appreciated the humour in those hate-filled reactionary policies.

NEW: Ken Paxton Vowed to Crack Down on “Illegal Voting.” He May Have Violated Texas Election Law.

The Texas attorney general appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite his warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records.”

"Professor fired over #CharlieKirk post could receive $1.9M in settlement."
thehill.com/homenews/education…

This is just the latest in a series. Universities that disciplined professors for criticizing Charlie Kirk knew or should have known that they were violating those professors' free-speech rights. But they did it to align themselves with the Trump admin, even on the wrong side of the law. Consider these settlements and damage awards to be a cowardice tax.

Most Supreme Court Rulings Are Secretive Votes From “Shadow Docket” — ProPublica

ProPublica conducted a new analysis that shows the court is deciding more consequential rulings than ever before in largely unsigned orders with little to no explanation.

Unfortunately we're living in an era where trust in institutions has collapsed, so we don't have the touchstones to say what's true and what's not.

You could watch as over a year the MAGA crowd bought into the claim that birthright citizenship was not actually in the Constitution, based in part on the words of "experts" who were all too happy to tell them what they wanted to year, confirming their biases.

This is a major theme of the post-COVID era so far.

GOP Rep Wants To Throw A ‘Bedsheet’ Over The Statue Of Liberty Following SCOTUS Birthright Citizenship Ruling

In response to the SCOTUS decision, Rep. Troy Nehls of Texas said the Statue of Liberty needs to go into hiding for about the next decade.

For #Trump, illegal and losing wars are more important than kids.

No, the piece gets it EXACTLY backwards. It's BECAUSE of what Congress wrote that the rulings came down that way.

The rulings where emphatically saying that the other branches could not ignore Congress.

The piece seems to admit that "technically" Congress wrote this law. Well, yeah. It Congress's technicalities aren't to be ignored.

This perl clutching is antisocial. The SCOTUS says Congress can't be ignored, and so we need to elect better congresspeople who fix the laws that the SCOTUS is deferring to.

Congress wrote these laws, not the Supreme Court, which is insisting on democracy, even if democracy keeps giving us crappy lawmakers.
