Of course Alito and Thomas would rubber stamp the Trump Administration's lawlessness, racism and cruelty. Should've been a 9-0 Supreme Court decision to block the use of Alien Enemies Act but...is anyone surprised?

Great, perceptive review of "The McCartney Legacy Vol.2" from SDE. superdeluxeedition.com/reviews/the-...

Craig Unger, an American journalist and writer who has written two books on Trump’s connections to Russia’s security services and the Russian mafia, says he is "absolutely certain" that the U.S. president is a Russian asset. The Kyiv Independent sat down with Unger to hear what makes him so certain.

The People's Union USA, a grassroots group, is calling on Americans to join a national boycott by not shopping for 24 hours on Friday.

I know Stathis. He was a colleague of mine at the University of Chicago. He is a pretty buttoned-down scholar. For him to tweet this out is… something.

House Republicans have released their budget plan, and in order to pay for massive tax cuts for the wealthy, they are planning to slash funding for Medicaid and food stamps.

Vice President JD Vance’s incendiary suggestions about executive branch noncompliance with judicial orders should, for now, be taken as a feint—but a feint in the direction of a steep constitutional cliff that leads to constitutional desolation.

They, we, must fight harder than ever. It’s just going to be maddening, watching a convicted felon president tell lies and corrupt our values. We have to believe that a day of reckoning will come. Without that belief, he wins. newrepublic.com/post/190086/...

Elon Musk inserted himself into the debate over the role climate change plays in wildfires as at least five fires scorched the Los Angeles area. But scientists are clear: a warming planet has created the conditions.

@danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co: "Right now, we have President Elon Musk. And Donald Trump—maybe he's vice president. I guess vice presidents don't do much, so that makes sense. He might be the chief of staff. I don't know what you call him, but he is not calling the shots."

A great review of McCartney Legacy Volume 2 by Eoghan Lyng. eoghanlyng.substack.com/p/mccartney-... #mccartneylegacy #paulmccartney #beatles

As a settlement of civil litigation it's absurd. As a down payment regulatory favors it's cheap. Expect more frivolous suits as a way to get bribes thru settlements.

This was an utterly meritless lawsuit. ABC suits are cowards who embarrassed their news division. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/14/u...

The Washington Post review of The McCartney Legacy Vol.2 1974-1980: www.washingtonpost.com/books/2024/1...

Truly remarkable how Republicans manage to be on the wrong side of everything, their steadfastness in corruption and incompetence. There's an obvious answer to, "should the government make it easy to file taxes, or should people be forced to use private companies to do it?" And yet.

A wonderful (if blush-inducing) overview from today's edition of The Beatles Bookstore -- Buzz's Beatles Book/Print Blog www.beatlesbookstore.com/the-legacy-o...

In @mccartneylegacy.bsky.social Volume 2 | 1974–80, @allankozinn.bsky.social and #AdrianSinclair brilliantly draw upon decades of information to flesh out the picture of an artist pinned at the crossroads of success and future uncertainty.

Sickening hypocrisy.

‘It’s like they were smoking something potent’: the ‘bizarre’ Paul McCartney alien musical that never was Former Beatle’s treatment for the film – and an expanded version by sci-fi writer Isaac Asimov – unearthed in the US www.theguardian.com/music/2024/d.... 🍏

People who think professional wrestling is real think that the allegations of covering up sexual assault against Linda McMahon and her husband Vince are fake. Make it make sense.

To review: ATTORNEY GENERAL: Allegedly paid for sex with multiple women and a 17-year-old girl SECRETARY OF DEFENSE: Allegedly raped a woman at a conference in 2017 SECRETARY OF HHS: Allegedly sexually assaulted his kids’ baby sitter

Gaetz withdrawal is encouraging, not just because we won't have AG Gaetz but because it's taken Trump about two weeks to squander his supposedly invincible mandate and remind everyone of his staggering incompetence and dysfunction—which, per last time, are the main checks on his power.

Won’t any of them grow a spine? Or a second brain cell?

Oh. Apparently the McMahon’s, as Chief Executives of WWE, purposefully turned a blind eye to an employee preying on and abusing young boys. But I’m sure she’ll have our kids’ best interests at heart as the Secretary of Education.

It's highly doubtful Gaetz goes back to Congress just because he was re-elected, since committee will then release report. If he was appointed to Senate there would be ethics probe there. And Fox has had to pay out too much $$ to assault victims to bring on alleged pedophile.

the U.S. press does not require that Republicans take real ownership of unpopular and harmful policy I know a lot of folks at major outlets are conditioned to BELIEVE they do, but they really don't, and never have

Stay vigilant while Trump selects his new AG. Starting with an outrageous ask as the anchor is Trump 101 . Obviously it’s a relief that the alleged sex trafficker won’t get the role, but trust me, the next pick will be just as unqualified and spiteful.
