if you’re not black don’t tell black people how to respond to injustice done to them.

MAGA literally canceled an election to wipe out a Black district. This is Jim Crow 2.0. Don’t stay silent.

Thank you @RepBeatty for fighting for the Kennedy Center. Enough with the presidential graffiti from the Trump administration. The Kennedy Center belongs to the American people.

Samuel Alito’s son has worked as a lawyer inside Trump’s Treasury Department since early last year. The administration hid it. No public resume, no LinkedIn, no mention on the Treasury website, outdated bar listings. Four former officials confirmed it. The public was never told. Here is why that matters. Philip Alito served as an attorney-adviser in Treasury’s general counsel office, briefed on department matters across the board, while the Supreme Court took up a case in which the Treasury Department was a named defendant. The department never disclosed the connection in court. Justice Alito did not recuse. The federal recusal law is plain. A justice must step aside in any case where his impartiality might reasonably be questioned. That is the test. Not whether anyone can prove influence but whether a reasonable person looking at this would doubt it. A justice ruling on cases involving the very agency that employs his son fails that test on its face. And Treasury sits at the center of many upcoming issues, including the fight over Trump’s $1.776 billion dollar fund to reward the January 6th rioters he pardoned. That fight could be headed to the Court too. This is exactly why the honor system has failed. The Supreme Court is the only court in America with no enforceable code of conduct. I support withholding funding from the Court until the justices adopt a binding code with real recusal review. Congress holds the power of the purse. We should use it. notus.org/us-news/samuel…
