Big congratulations to our 45th and now 47th President on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory. No nation has bigger opportunities. Wishing @realDonaldTrump all success in leading and uniting the America we all love.
Sitting is not a crime.
Resting is not a crime.
Sleeping is not a crime.
Camping is not a crime.
Being poor is not a crime.
Needing help is not a crime.
Homelessness is not a crime, it’s a policy failure.
Did you know? When SCOTUS said in 1937 that the Social Security Act was unconstitutional, President Roosevelt didn’t ask people to vote harder in the next election, he told the Supreme Court he’d add more justices until they backed off, which they did. — We can still do that.
This is great. Next five minutes of this needs to be the list of things Biden has done to get America back up after the Pandemic and Trump. Which I think is a compelling narrative. Let Trump implode while reminding us how competent and effecrive Biden has been.
I see a lot of national "consultants" and talking heads calling for Biden to step out of race. The people I know who are on the ground working hard everyday as organizers and activists and electeds in the D party are standing squarely behind the President. That's telling to me.
SCOTUS ruled that criminalizing unhoused folks for sleeping outside isn't cruel and unusual punishment. Cities aren't building enough housing or investing in the resources to end homelessness. Criminalization has become their solution. This ruling will have huge consequences.
Appellate lawyers, judges, and the judges interns all think very highly of themselves but they are the people in the world with the least subject matter knowledge and IMO the idea that America needs to empower them more is laughable.
This partisan Supreme Court just shredded another precedent, overturning the Chevron decision and weakening our ability to combat the climate crisis, hold corporations accountable, and much more.
Our people and our planet will feel the consequences.
There is a faction in U.S. who want to do whatever, whenever regardless of impacts on others. All while forcing others to live by their religious/moral beliefs. This court, majority Rep. appointed, is squarely on their side. This is not a court of law, it is a court of faction.
So far this term, SCOTUS said it's okay to bribe public officials, homelessness is a crime, & federal agencies don't have the power to protect you from dangers like air pollution.
They haven't even ruled on presidential immunity.
The absurdity of this court is on full display.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled today that cities can punish unhoused people for sleeping in public, even if they have nowhere else to go.
We cannot arrest our way out of homelessness.
The Supreme Court gave itself the power to pick and choose which rules big corporations should have to follow, no matter the consequences for our families.
It's not the Court's job to legislate from the bench. This is a disturbing power grab that's going to put Nevadans at risk.
The Supreme Court's overturning of Chevron is among several rulings this term that will fundamentally reshape our health and safety.
"The Chevron case puts thousands of regulations related to Americans’ health and safety at risk." https://t.co/DwaXWklAiP
BREAKING: The Supreme Court allows cities to enforce bans on homeless people sleeping outside, even if shelter space is lacking. https://t.co/1b2LmXTBfR
This guy also just decided experts shouldn't be the ones to interpret what statutes about their expertise mean. I'm also not a lawyer but it has seemed to me good lawyers/judges spend a lot of time getting the facts of the case right. I'm saying he is especially bad at his job.
Justice Gorsuch's opinion refers five times to "nitrous oxide" (aka laughing gas) rather than the entirely different chemical compound -- smog-causing "nitrogen oxides" -- actually at issue in the case.
BREAKING: In a huge victory for Big Business, the Supreme Court has overturned 40 years of precedent and ended "Chevron doctrine".
The ruling is a power grab for corporate interests and could upend countless health, climate, and food safety regulations.
The Supreme Court failed to mention the 60 people murdered that led to the bump stock ban, so we will:
