THIS!!! 👇👇👇👇
According to X’s AI Grok, the top story on Twitter right now is that @elonmusk’s actions are being “widely condemned as an act of election interference” for suspending #WhiteDudesForHarris after raising $4 million for Kamala Harris
How to Stop Getting Bullied by Anyone:
Oh boy. Trump’s Doral rally tonight was a doozy. Let’s recap it:
He started off by bragging about his golf course instead of apologizing for being an hour late and leaving people waiting all day under a heat advisory.
He said he didn’t know what NATO was.
He bragged that “being indicted is a lot of fun.”
He claimed “tens of thousands” of people showed up to this sad little rally. He later said “45,000 people” when it barely looked like 2k people were there.
He froze like a deer in headlights for 10 straight seconds.
He praised Laura Loomer and repeatedly called her “amazing.”
He’s mad that Kamala Harris laughs and called her “L-a-f-f-i-n’ Kamala,” proving what we already knew that bro can’t spell.
He said he wants a “no holds barred” debate without moderators this week. Essentially the two of them screaming at each other. Super dumb idea. Especially when Biden is hosting the NATO summit.
He also challenged President Biden to a golf tournament this week when President Biden is busy meeting with NATO leaders and doing his job.
He said Biden “doesn’t know what a synagogue is.”
He thinks you have to stop electric cars every hour.
He complained about the heat only 16 minutes in, when those people waited all day and he still showed up an hour late.
He said someone told him that he looks “great in a bathing suit.” Barf.
He called the fictional Hannibal Lecter “a lovely man” and compared him to immigrants.
He said migrants are “preying on everybody.”
He forgot how to say “feared” and said “field.”
He said he’d be the “greatest president that God has ever created.”
He claimed Hunter Biden is running the country.
He babbled about facelifts.
He said he was going to bring Tom Homan back into his administration, a guy who helped author Project 2025 which he claims to know nothing about.
He claimed Biden has more homes than him.
He said we’ll become “energy independent” when we already are right now.
He complained some more about the hot weather.
He asked why “sweaty” golf caddies “never touched me, never hugged me, never kissed me.”
He made fun of Chris Christie’s weight while claiming he was standing up for him. Mighty rich.
He said the U.S. is turning into “communist Cuba or socialist Venezuela.”
He struggled to pronounce some of his sycophants’ names.
He called Don Jr. “a great talent” and that he has a “great wife” even though he’s not married to Kimberly Guilfoyle.
He said how much he loves his family showing up when his wife Melania and favorite daughter Ivanka didn’t even bother going.
He said “October 7th would not have happened” if he was President.
He said Israel “had no money.”
He said “we have nuclear submarines and five warships in Cuba,” essentially calling himself a Russian.
He said Biden has abandoned Cuba when he was the one who nixed Obama’s plan to reopen trade and travel to Cuba.
He said people get “shot, mugged, raped” when visiting the Washington Monument in DC.
He said he will protect the second amendment and “innocent life” in the same breath.
He told people to “vote whenever you want.”
He played a song performed by J6 insurrectionists and people who beat up police officers.
He read his teleprompter cue to speak quickly out loud.
He said that getting rid of energy efficiency in appliances will “keep our enemies at bay.”
He called the United States of America “a third-world country” and said we’re “a joke.”
He said President Biden “isn’t legally allowed to stand trial.”
He’s claiming that the stock market is high because of MAGA winning the election in November, and that it will crash like during the Great Depression if he loses.
He said it’s “easier to get fentanyl than groceries.”
He forgot how to say the word “economy.”
He said he’d rather take money from small dollar donors instead of the wealthy.
He said they’re “going to take over our Capitol.”
He lied like he breathes.
And we all know the media won’t cover HALF of this absolute train wreck.
Today’s Supreme Court decision on Donald Trump’s immunity claim is far worse than anything I imagined...
Effectively giving a president immunity for any crimes committed while in office as long as that president can plausibly claim the action was taken in some form of official capacity.
It must now be presumed that the president, as king, is immune from accountability.
The rule of law applies to everyone except the most powerful person on Earth.
It would be difficult to overstate how much this opinion shifts the balance of power away from Congress and towards the presidency, and how unshackled a corrupt president will now be. The Court gives the president absolute power, and it will corrupt him, absolutely.
As Justice Sotomayor says so powerfully, this new immunity ‘now lies about like a loaded weapon’ for any President that wishes to place his own interests, his own political survival, or his own financial gain, above the interests of the Nation.’
The Court holds that when a president acts within his ‘core’ authority, he is fully immune.
And when he acts outside his core authority, but in an official capacity, the presumption of immunity is so strong as to be nearly absolute.
Even if he acts in a purely personal capacity, and the Court majority gives no indication of when that would be, his statements while acting officially may not be used as evidence, and his motives may not be questioned.
Having taken up a case they never should have, having waited until the last day to issue the opinion, having known it was the defendant’s strategy to deny justice by delaying it, the Court now remands the case for further proceedings of indeterminate length, ensuring there will be no accountability for Trump’s insurrectionist crimes before the election.
During his abortive coup attempt, Trump told his acting attorney general and other top Justice Department officials to ‘just say that the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressmen.’
Now the Supreme Court says he is immune from ordering his Justice Department to lie, and the evidence of his malice, his very words, may not be used as evidence against him.
Under this ruling, a president can order the assassination or jailing of their political rival, and be immune. They can take a bribe in exchange for an official act, and still be immune. They can organize a military coup to hold onto power, and still be immune. If that sounds mad, that’s because it is.
This is a day that will live in legal infamy.
When justices on the Court that bears Roberts’ name, paid back their appointment by a corrupt president with an opinion that provides immunity to all corrupt presidents, and weakened our democracy and the rule of law for the ages.
Our only remedy is the ballot box, a new congress, and a new Court — that has more reverence for the Constitution than the lust for power.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court makes one of its worst rulings in history and repeals the 1984 Chevron precedent — opening the flood gates for corporations to trash the environment, public health, and the workplace.
And it gets so much worse...
The ruling undos a rule that required American courts to give deference to federal agencies when creating regulations based on laws that could be interpreted as ambiguous.
"In one fell swoop, the majority today gives itself exclusive power over every open issue — no matter how expertise-driven or policy-laden — involving the meaning of regulatory law. As if it did not have enough on its plate, the majority turns itself into the country’s administrative czar," wrote liberal justice Elena Kagan, who voted against repealing the rule.
"In every sphere of current or future federal regulation, expect courts from now on to play a commanding role," wrote Kagan. "It is not a role Congress has given them. … It is a role this court has now claimed for itself, as well as other judges."
She added that the conservative majority on the court "disdains restraint, and grasps for power."
Astonishingly, the precedent the Republican justices overturned is one of the most cited in American law. It underpins 70 Supreme Court decisions and around 17,000 rulings from the lower courts.
The Food and Drug Administration expects a slew of new lawsuit due to the court's decision ranging from challenges to their powers over tainted food to deciding whether or not certain drugs are safe. The tobacco industry is also expected to pounce.
"This is disastrous for public health. This is disastrous for the critical role of science-based regulatory agencies," said a former F.D.A. associate commissioner and tobacco division director Mitch Zeller. "Chevron has worked well for half a century and makes a lot of sense."
Once again, the conservative judges have sided with corporate profits over the well-being over the American people. They don't care what these companies do to us as long as the shareholders (and MAGA donors) are pleased.
By undoing such a bedrock precedent the court is once again making it clear that they don't care about the law. The conservatives on the court are right-wing activists working to enact the Republican Party's plutocratic agenda. They must be stopped.

Wow. A restaurant in Chicago O’Hare, one of the biggest airports in the world, banned an infectious disease doctor from entering because they were wearing a mask. This is unacceptable.
Donald Trump is a convicted felon. This verdict is not a win for any single person. It’s a win for an idea. The idea that we all follow the same rules. The rule of law won today.
Please protect this woman at all costs. She is a heroine.
The same state of Alabama which just executed Kenneth Smith via nitrogen gas asphyxiation would like you to know that frozen embryos are “children” because as per the Bible, human life cannot be destroyed without incurring the wrath of a Holy God.
Donald Trump was the first president in 28 years to not serve a second term, the first to lose the Presidency, the House and the Senate in a single term, the first president in 129 years to lose the popular vote twice, the first ever to fail to hit a 50% approval rating at any point during their presidency, the first to be impeached twice, to be banned from social media and the first to have their home searched for official national security documents, or anything else for that matter, the first serving or former president to be found liable of sexual abuse, business fraud and defamation, the first, second, third and fourth serving or former president to be criminally indicted and the first ever with a mugshot.
The “red wave” never came in 2022, last November’s elections were a tsunami of blue, and since the overturning of Roe Vs Wade, Republicans have lost 8 out of 8 state ballot measure battles on the issue of abortion.
All of this, as they’ve removed their own Speaker, expelled their own member, whittled their already razor-thin House majority down to essentially nothing, maintain a minority in the Senate, and have had signed into law, the fewest bills since the Great Depression.
Oh yeah, and they’re tethered to a quadruply indicted business fraud sexual abuser who faces multiple fairly imminent criminal convictions.
They’ve done nothing about inflation or the prices of eggs, gas or milk, and they’re flat out refusing to do a damn thing about the border, yet they continue to spend our hard-earned tax dollars on sham d*ck pic hearings and phony impeachments.
When you put all of that together, it really is shocking that no one with a single firing synapse wants to see any of them in power, isn’t it?
Ten people shot at a fucking celebratory Super Bowl parade in Kansas City, including children. This uniquely American hell was created by every lawmaker who supports lax gun laws.
No lies detected. 👀🤷🏻♂️🙏🏼
Here’s the Republican Party, in their own words, telling you exactly why you should vote for Democrats in 2024.
Make sure everyone sees it.
GOP Rep. Roy: I want my Republican colleagues to give me one thing that I can go campaign on and say we did. One! Come and explain to me one meaningful, significant thing the Republican majority has done
It’s disheartening to see that many ME/postviral disease sufferers are better equipped than their treating physicians. In my nearly 30-year medical career (med school included), I’ve never encountered such a situation.
@Oreo Why is the cream different than in regular Oreos?
