President Joe Biden vetoed a bipartisan bill that would add 63 new federal judges over the next decade, explaining that the bill “fails to resolve key questions” about the allocation of judges and senior status judges.

....and another thing.

This guy could spend a fraction of his money to find a cure for childhood cancer but instead sought to have Federal money for research removed from the budget. That’s greed.

Now that they destroyed their own neighborhood, the Maga/Elon trolls are rolling in to BlueSky. My recommendation is to block early, on the first offense, without explanation. Here are my rules why I block them: open.substack.com/pub/therickw...

Is this bad? Because it seems bad. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/20/n...

The richest man on the planet could probably solve child cancer himself using less money than he burned destroying Twitter. Instead, he used his influence to strip $190 million from the budget for pediatric cancer research. What a fucking asshole.

WHOA! THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FRAUD. GOP Rep. Kay Granger (TX-12) has been missing for six months. She was just found by a reporter in a dementia care facility. Her staff and others have been keeping this a secret from her constituents. So who’s been making these posts?

AOC: “Oh, I don’t think we’re witnessing the START of an oligarchy. I think we are fully here.” 🇺🇸

Who cuts $190 million from children's cancer research? #FEM

While most news outlets are talking about the “death penalty for abortion” bill, remember that there are tons of other anti-abortion bills pre-filed in South Carolina. Legislation preventing much-needed regulation of “crisis pregnancy centers” is just one of many. Tell your legislators to vote NO

SCOTUS announced today it will hear Kerr v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, a case that could determine whether states can block people enrolled in Medicaid from accessing safe high-quality reproductive health care at Planned Parenthood, like birth control, mammograms, & cancer screenings.

Indeed, this is where we are.

Over in the other place, the billionaire owner is threatening to fund ‘moderate’ (rightwing) candidates in heavily Democratic districts too. This is what oligarchy looks like. It’s the biggest threat to democracy today. Not ‘cancel culture.’ Not trans kids. Not college protesters. Oligarchy.
