Wow β€” β€œThe Kentucky Supreme Court struck down a law Thursday that would have allowed public funding to go to charter schools.”

Very different story here in Tennessee, where @GovBillLee and the privatizers attack public schools daily.

Newsom: He’s a broken man who tried to break this country.

His presidency de facto ends when Speaker Jeffries is sworn in β€” at least as the presidency as we know it. Now, losing this tariff policy and the unilateral authority under IEEPA β€” that’s a major blow.

A historic showdown: 300 million Indian workers paralyzed the nation in the largest strike ever, defying Modi's assault on labor rights. Yet Western media's quiet coverage reeks of complicity with billionaire fears. Claudia Webbe nails it: this is the future the elite dreads most. #BharatBandh

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.

You know, like a democracy.

This is Karen Newton. She’s a 65 year old British granny who traveled to the US on a valid tourist visa. She still ended up shackled and thrown in a camp for 6 weeks.

She’s warning others not to go there. She did nothing wrong.

Agents were just making their quota. Collecting their bonus.

By the time he’s done, I’ll bet that at least a quarter of the national debt will just be money he stole.

Newly revealed emails undermine RFK Jr testimony about 2019 Samoa trip ahead of measles outbreak

Kennedy later said the purpose of his trip had nothing to do with vaccines. US embassy and UN staff at the time said otherwise, emails show

RFK Jr. is a liar. He lied to me about his anti-vax Samoa trip. The CDC’s vaccine advisory panel is now stacked with conspiracists and the US is positioned to lose its measles elimination status. RFK Jr. must be removed now.

Raw America (@rawstory) THIS IS GREAT: Sir Ian McKellen destroys Trump on Colbert last night by performing a Shakespeare monologue from Sir Thomas More. Fits the historical moment exactly. Make sure this gets around!

I think it should probably be a bigger story that the president of the United States is a raving lunatic

The president had his DOJ raid an election office and prosecute political opponents while he threatens to take over elections, Sadly, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day.

ICE was already PREFUNDED for 4 YEARS in the OBBB passed in July. The money is in a slush fund. So if you give away the rest you give away everything. Do these people think we are stupid? They must.

Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

If Dem senators vote to extend the DHS CR again, they are instantly going to lose a tremendous amount of support from their base who have been in wait-and-see mode on this. I can only assume Dem senators considering this have completely lost touch with their voters. Don’t do it.

6 February 1942 | A Dutch Jewish boy, Levie Swart, was born in Amsterdam.

In August 1942 he was deported to #Auschwitz and, after selection, murdered in a gas chamber. His elder sister, Frouwke was killed with him.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.

What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?

I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

When you agree to pass 5 of 6 appropriations bills, then you later agree to pass funding for everything that is in the 6th bill except for one agency (ICE) that has already been prefunded in a previous bill, you are giving up every bit of leverage you have and selling out.
