Pass H.R. 1 and repeal Citizens United

He was sentenced to ten years. Republicans let him out after 6 months. Disgusting.

McQuade’s three-word summary is precise. Color blindness is willful blindness. The Roberts court’s theory is that the Constitution cannot see race, and therefore any district drawn with racial data is presumptively unconstitutional. The theory treats historical discrimination as legally irrelevant - as if the specific communities formed by that history, shaped by it, disadvantaged by its persistent effects, are simply the product of government categorization that can be dissolved by declaring the categorization impermissible. Justice Thurgood Marshall warned in a dissent that the court’s practice of manipulating constitutional doctrine under the 14th and 15th Amendments makes it complicit in racial discrimination rather than its remedy. Frederick Douglass made the same argument in 1883 when the court nullified the Civil Rights Act of 1875. Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana are already planning special legislative sessions to apply Callais and erase majority-minority districts. The arc from 20 Black House members in 1985 to 43 by 1995 took a constitutional amendment, a unanimous Supreme Court ruling, and a decade of redistributing. The Roberts Court has created the legal tools to reverse that arc in a single election cycle. The amendments meant to secure representation are being used to eliminate it.

George W. Bush started two wars thar cost $8 trillion, saw another $5 trillion disappear in the mortgage bonds crash of 2007-08, and nuked $20 trillion in potential revenue with his tax cuts. That's $33 trillion of the $38.9 trillion national debt right there. -OS

This settlement legalizes meat price-fixing — it just says you have to bring the giant retailers and distributors in on the game. Get ready for even higher prices for chicken, turkey, and pork.

How do we know we're in late stage capitalism? Helicopters carrying *SICK CHILDREN* cannot land at Seattle *CHILDRENS HOSPITAL* because the affluent owners of nearby properties don't like the noise. *SICK CHILDREN* have to land a mile away and be transported by ambulance to the hospital, as to not inconvenience the RICH folks The amount of hateful losers on this post blaming "Liberals" for the actions of one of the most conservative neighborhoods in the state is absolutely wild.

The whole point of Trump’s war in Iran seems to have been to manipulate markets for his oligarchs to make money from, to give his family lucrative military contracts, and distract from his involvement in the Epstein files. That’s it.

So…. He lied to Congress. What a shock. You think you guys should, idk, make this a big deal?

DeSantis has conceded that his gerrymander violates the Florida Constitution's Fair Districting Amendment. Now he is arguing that the Amendment itself should be struck down as unconstitutional. The issue? The Supreme Court just praised the Amendment in Rucho v. Common Cause.

Everything about this is stupid. Everything. 1. There are only about 11 million undocumented migrants here. That's the high end. 2. That's about 3% of the population. Most people who live here are actually citizens or legal immigrants. 3. And this is really important: Undocumented workers ACTUALLY do work. They HELP the economy.

⚖️LAWSUIT⚖️ ‘Stressful and Traumatic’ After Sober DUI Charge Retired FBI executive Allison Tsiumis is suing the City of Knoxville following a "sober DUI" arrest, alleging constitutional violations after being jailed despite having no alcohol or drugs in her system. The case highlights a broader issue in Tennessee, where over 2,500 wrongful DUI arrests have been identified since 2017.

ICE drag patient out of hospital—on his back across pavement with hands already handcuffed. Agents shoot pepper spray at any witnesses in the ambulance bay who offer to help. Man spent 5 hours in emergency room—after injured when he was detained during traffic stop. ICE claims that he resisted arrest and "weaponized" his vehicle—and that agents used the "minimum force necessary" to arrest him. Chidozie Wilson Okeke, 25, is a Nigerian national who is accused of overstaying tourist visa. Incident occurred at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York.

You’re telling me: They can locate the exact coordinates & kill the Supreme leader of 🇮🇷, They can locate & kidnap the President of 🇻🇪 in an early morning raid, They can locate & kill a cartel boss in the middle of a forest... But they can't locate or arrest Epstein clients?

Can anyone guess why they would remove the requirement to notify voters of polling place changes

Remember how long it took Southern states to comply with SCOTUS order in Brown v. Board to provide equal rights to Black people? Literally decades. Now that SCOTUS has approved the elimination of rights of Black people, these same Southern states are acting with lightning speed.

When you put pedophiles in the highest levels of government, you get more pedophiles. When you refuse to prosecute the Epstein predators, you embolden pedophiles. Politicians, active duty military, cops and religious leaders. Kids aren’t safe around any of them.

FBI witness says Lutnick orchestrated massive fraud at Cantor Fitzgerald, laundered money for the Russian mafia, and bought the house next door to Jeffrey Epstein from him for $10

This to me is the most anachronistic thing: judges being openly intimidated by a state. The year is 2026, not 1726, not 726, not 26 AD, not 326 BC.

The New York Times shows the damning evidence that ICE is offloading its racial profiling onto local cops, as we predicted. Abhorrent behavior. A conspiracy against our rights.

One of my most popular articles ever included a long extract from a powerful closing speech by barrister Rajiv Menon during a Palestine Action trial in January. In the end, the jury refused to convict the six defendants. Menon is now on trial for that closing speech – for reminding the jury that they had a 350-year-old right in law to follow their conscience in reaching a verdict, even if it meant defying a direction from the judge to convict. Paradoxically, Menon joked in his speech that, because of that earlier legal principle, the judge, unlike his counterpart in 1670, could not lock them, the jurors, up were they to choose to follow their consciences. Instead, the judge is seeking to lock up the barrister. Does 2026 qualify as an improvement on 1670? It is believed that this is the first time a barrister has been tried for comments made to a jury in his closing speech. That should serve as a potent reminder of just us how authoritarian the current political moment is, and of how quickly long-established legal rights are being dismantled to protect British collusion in genocide. Read my article – and the part of the speech for which Menon is being tried – here: jonathan-cook.net/blog/2026-01-1…

Here’s convicted American spy Jonathan Pollard detailing how Israel blackmailed the US during the 1973 Yom Kippur War by threatening to use nuclear weapons on Egypt if we didn’t bail their sorry asses out with a huge resupply of weapons. The day after this encounter Nixon ordered over $2.2 billion in arms to be sent to Israel, giving them a huge advantage over their opponents. Well that pissed the King of Saudi Arabia off to no end, so he did the only thing in his power to do: he cut off the oil to the US until we either stopped supplying Israel with weapons or we forced them to withdraw their troops from the land taken in the ‘67 war. The embargo lasted 6 months and the economic effects could be seen for years. And THAT friends is how America suffered its first oil shock bc of Israel.
