🚨OMG. A fighter just declared “Michelle Obama is a man” on the White House lawn as Joe Rogan chuckles.
Tonight is a DISGRACE to our country, not a celebration.
BREAKING: Sen. Warnock calls for Supreme Court reform, telling NBC that “All options are on the table” – including adding seats!
In a powerful interview on Meet the Press, Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) made it crystal clear that Democrats are done playing defense against a corrupted Supreme Court.
Asked by host Kristin Welker if he would support adding seats to the Court, Warnock answered affirmatively:
“I think all options have to be on the table… We definitely need reform to this court. We need a code of ethics.”
Warnock laid the blame for the court’s descent squarely on Donald Trump and his acolytes for igniting a “terrible race to the bottom” through extreme gerrymandering and weaponizing the courts to make decisions favorable to the MAGA agenda to sometimes devastating effect on our fundamental freedoms.
In calling out the current Court for pouring “fuel on that fire” and undermining its own credibility, Warnock is making a significant shift in tone.
Expanding the Court, imposing term limits, and enforcing a real code of ethics have all become legitimate responses to the right-wing capture of the judiciary, and the influential Warnock is on board with it.
Since he managed to bully Congress into confirming his ideological right-wing nominees, Trump has considered the Supreme Court to be in his pocket, fuming with righteous indignation if they dare oppose him. Not because they are right or wrong, but because they didn’t acquiesce to his will after he took the trouble to nominate them.
But Warnock just made it clear: in his mind the era of one-sided rules must end, by whatever legal means necessary.
The Reverend Dr. Warnock speaks for all sensible Americans when he says he is tired of a Supreme Court that protects billionaires, strips away rights, and acts as an unelected super-legislature.
Fair is fair. If Republicans keep abusing the hallowed institution, Democrats have every right to fix it.
And all options should indeed be on the table.
🚨 James Talarico proposes a bill to close all corporate tax loopholes.

As the people suffer, the divine ruler and his fellow elites entertain themselves at an opulent gladiatorial match.
Am I describing ancient Rome or Trump's America?
.@RepCarbajal isn't buying Trump's bluster about a peace deal. The only way to end this war is for Congress to step in. The House passed a War Powers Resolution, now The Senate needs to finish the job.
Mitch McConnell is in the hospital.
But, he won't have to worry about medical bills or skipping tests because he has high-quality, government-subsidized healthcare — the same thing he has spent his career cutting for tens of millions of Americans.
BREAKING: IT'S MURDER! Death of a 31-year-old woman dropped by ICE at a Pittsburgh bus stop in freezing weather with no coat ruled a homicide!
The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s office has ruled the death by hypothermia of Haitian immigrant Daphy Michel, who spent more than 30 hours shivering at a Pittsburgh bus stop after being dumped by ICE, a homicide.
Three days earlier, Michel had been in Washington County Jail on misdemeanor charges that a judge dismissed. Her family was waiting to pick her up in Charleroi – just a 40-minute drive away.
But because ICE had placed a detainer on her, instead of releasing her to loved ones, authorities handed her over to immigration enforcement.
ICE fitted her with an ankle monitor, put her in their “Alternatives to Detention” program, and then dropped her off on the South Side of Pittsburgh, far from home, in February cold, wearing only light clothing. She never made it back.
“When you release someone like that that far from home, it’s a recipe for disaster,” Her attorney Joseph Murphy said. “She would have been in her own environment. She wouldn’t have been sitting around a bus stop [with no coat] in February, and she’d be alive now.”
The death at the hands of ICE was no accident. It was the direct result of cold, bureaucratic cruelty, with immigration officials choosing enforcement theater over basic human decency.
County Executive Sara Innamorato said the death was “a tragedy that appears that with a little humanity, it could have been completely avoidable.”
After the death, friends and family gathered at the bus stop where she died and held a vigil for her (photo, right).
This horror is part of a pattern under Trump’s ICE that hasn’t dissipated since the agency has fallen from the headlines: they still treat people as disposable, and appear to get perverse satisfaction making life as difficult as possible for the people they harass, like dropping vulnerable individuals in unfamiliar places with no support.
Michel didn’t deserve to die alone in the cold on a bench because the system cared more about optics than people. Her death should haunt every official who signed off on this cruel process. Each one should be worried about the pendulum of justice swinging in their direction now that the ruling is official.
If this preventable, heartbreaking tragedy makes you furious, like and share this post.
No one should die abandoned in brutal winter's cold because ICE decided their life didn’t matter.

Note to anyone angry that Trump's name was taken off the Kennedy Center, don't you worry. You can still find his name in the Epstein files over 38,000 times.
