Via Kyle Griffin:

Reps. Jamie #Raskin and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are hosting a roundtable next week on the ethics crisis at the #SCOTUS.

The roundtable will feature panelists ā€” including Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse ā€” to examine how "Justices beholden to right-wing dark money networks and unencumbered by any binding code of ethics are imposing an extremist agenda that undermines American democracy, deprives Americans of basic civil rights, and guts environmental protections."

Many of us can't believe how fundamentally flawed, just by basic #journalism values, the New York TImes' political coverage is. It is not just bad, but damaging. In this case, an entire article, top to bottom, gives platform and voice to radical right-wing threats without -- at any point -- identifying the constitutional and democratic principles and precedents that these actions violate (i.e., orderly succession, not using office to punish political enemies) #USPol https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/05/us/politics/trump-conviction-gop-revenge.html?unlocked_article_code=1.xU0._OLW.auSRk6Fo94pV&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=c-cb


Is this still better than #trump? A man that just keeps blatantly telling you lies and expecting you to gobble them up and ask for seconds?

This is the bullshit he pulls when he's losing in polls and being pressured from the left. Do you think he's going to be more progressive in a second term when none of that matters at all?

Today in Michigan, a Nazi was sentenced for conspiring with other Nazis to threaten Black and Jewish people and desecrate a synagogue with swastikas.

He was prosecuted by DOJ's Civil Rights Division. If Trump wins, the GOP promises to turn the Civil Rights Division into its opposite, prosecuting any institution that has DEI programs.

If you're voting third-party, you're saying you're okay with that.

"before he officially became the Republican presidential nominee in 2016, he began to float the possibility that the primary contest was, as he said, ā€œrigged..."

By May of that year, #Trump spoke plainly about why he had stashed the argument away. ā€œYouā€™ve been hearing me say itā€™s a rigged system,ā€ he said, ā€œbut now I donā€™t say it anymore because I won.ā€

ā€œI will totally accept the results of this great and historic presidential election ā€” if I win,ā€ Trump said at a rally in 2016"

Just a reminder that while one party spends on protecting voting rights the other marshals its legal assault to challenge election results - for an election that is months away - and disenfranchise voters.

Imperfect democracy vs authoritarianism is on the ballot this November. #VoteBlue if that matters to you.

WHO'S MORAL IN THE GOP?

Only 10% of Republican registered voters say they are less likely to vote for Donald Trump following his felony conviction for falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to a porn star, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll that closed on Friday.

This trial exposed how much David Pecker helped Trump by constantly putting fake negative news about his opponents on every grocery store aisle in America. Pecker freely admitted it. I wonder if that exposure has done anything to change the minds of people who believed those stories. Or whether these people might view future tabloid headlines with a more skeptical eye. Probably not.

"And hereā€™s a fun fact: There are many countries that will not admit #felons across their borders. This includes, apparently, Canada. #Trump cannot even travel to many countries, including some of our closest allies, and yet he hopes to represent the #UnitedStates. The absurdity of this stuns."

Trump raised a record-breaking $34.8 million the day after being convicted of election interference. That's nearly double their previous largest single-day online donation amount.

29.7% were new donors.

This is not a drill. He will get reelected unless people on the left step up to oppose him. And #Project2025 makes it clear how much worse things can get, both domestically and abroad. #VoteBlue

"But Musk...seems to think that he will succeed where others have failed. The issue isnā€™t that the system works and has checks in place to prevent [voter] fraud from happening and...that rampant fraud doesnā€™t happen. The problem, instead, is that an insufficient level of genius has been applied to the problem, and once it is, reality will reveal itself like the blooming of a corpse flower."

US Official Who Resigned Over Gaza Says Report Absolving Israel 'Patently False'

Stacy Gilbert described reading the report in shock bcz of how it contradicted expert consensus.

She immediately decided to resign.

The report, "among other contentious findings, determined that Israel wasn't restricting the transport or delivery of U.S. humanitarian assistanceā€”an assessment that allowed the Biden administration to continue providing arms to Israel."

"the case is notable because Fox Corporationā€”the parent company of Fox Newsā€” is directly paying the family of a Supreme Court justice, which neither Barrett nor her husband are required to disclose."

The rot in the court is a feature of the Federalist Society, not a bug. As long as there is a pipeline for FedSoc to put right wing activists into the court, you'll have this corruption.
