Even if Democrats win the House, Senate and White House in 2028, the current 6-3 Supreme Court will inevitably serve as a permanent veto to strike down all progressive legislation, Brian Tyler Cohen writes.
That’s why it’s time to reform and expand the Court. https://t.co/LIrRXpdGLm

Trump is going to hate this.
Cooper: I've seen governments and dictators rise and fall, people and places torn apart by lies and hate and war. And I've seen people do things and heard them say things that I could never have imagined. I've seen what we humans are capable of when everything else is stripped away. Yes, great acts of barbarism and brutality. But we are also capable of remarkable acts of heroism and kindness. It's a choice, and the choice is up to us
Let's hope 50 years from now, someone standing here or somewhere on the eve of the 300th anniversary of this republic will look back and say of us: they didn’t know if they would make it through but they did.
This AI video of “Dr. Trump” is deranged. Is this really the future humanity wants where tech billionaires build massive data centers to get rich off AI slop and mass surveillance?
When White Republican politicians say they’re going to call the Capitol Police because they don’t like that Black students are asking them why they’re taking away their voting rights and their poling places.
It was great talking to Stephen and the inspiring young people we’ve worked with at the @ObamaFoundation on the @ColbertLateShow.
When the Obama Presidential Center opens this June 19, my hope is that this will be a place where people can come together to meet, learn, and work with each other to create change in their communities. Learn more at https://t.co/ahkDMKalIn.
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
Jacqueline Smith, the ombudsman of the Stars and Stripes newspaper, tells OutFront she was fired after she warned Hegseth was trying to control coverage.
“I’m gonna bet that 90% of people do not give a flying fuck where Trump and his cabal of pedophile protectors parties. 90% of people are wondering how they’re gonna pay for healthcare and food and rent and mortgage and clothing and gas and energy. Not whether Trump gets his fucking ballroom to feel important and celebrated.”
Don't let anyone tell you that an area is too red or too far out of reach for our message.
Just look at how many people turned out on a Saturday night in April, in a gym in Oklahoma.
Meet Michigan State Senator Dayna Polhanki. She is a powerhouse in Michigan, and we could use more leaders like her in our government. Let's show some support for her—follow and donate if you're able to @SenPolehanki.

BTC: Trump goes after Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Megyn Kelly for daring to hold the president to the same standard that he campaigned on [on no new wars, on low gas prices, on America First].
@KatieZacharia: You simplify this that he's just raising gas prices and dropping bombs.
BTC: That's exactly what he's doing.

Republicans in Congress turned on Trump and vote UNANIMOUSLY with Democrats to pay TSA Agents…but that’s not the real story…the real story is WHY? Here it is!
