Statement from Hakeem Jeffries, Democratic Leader, on #SCOTUS #immunity ruling

#USPolitics


Populism is on the rise – from the United States and Turkey to India and Hungary.

If you don’t know, “populism is a political ideology that positions ‘the people’ as a morally just, good group in society, in contrast with other people who are elitist or out of touch.”

But not all populists are the same, and there are some things that can be done to counter its rise

The U.S. Supreme Court has raised questions about Florida and Texas laws which sought to prevent #socialmedia companies from deciding which posts can be promoted, demoted or blocked.

The court didn’t overturn the state laws - but did say that lower courts should consider the free speech implications of the government interfering with Facebook and X’s rules.

Dear #CNN et al:

1) We could've told you that.

2) "Fair" is an adjective. "Fare" is the verb you want here. #grammar

3) #Biden won the nomination. Unless he releases delegates, he will be the nominee.

4) He hasn't done that.

5) That's his call.

6) Rank/file #Democrats support him & are working like hell to re-elect him. They just gave him $33 million in 2 days.

7) 14 million folks voted for him. We don't throw away votes. That's the other guys.

Well, that was interesting.

Tonight's presidential debate had a clear loser, but no clear winner.

Trump missed an opportunity to knock it out of the park – and peppered his remarks with a steady stream of lies, half-truths and misinformation. – but he got through it.

And did Biden most likely cause a disaster for the Democratic Party?

Analysis from two scholars of communication and politics:

#SCOTUS has ruled against a bankruptcy plan (and $6 billion settlement) that would have shielded the family from legal liability for the way their company Purdue Pharma helped spur a public health crisis through its deceptive marketing and aggressive sales of Oxycontin.
