  • Corruption Is About to Get Worse, Thanks to the Supreme Court
    Mother Jones, Wednesday - 12/18/2024 - 09:46 AM

    It’s an open question how well American democracy will withstand a second Trump presidency. Donald Trump has repeatedly promised to weaponize the government to prosecute his perceived political enemies, making politicization of the Justice Department worry Number One. The fact that he’s put forward an FBI director, Kash Patel, who has already drawn up a public political hit list hasn’t calmed these fears.

  • Donald Trump said he wants to ban trans athletes from competing. The reality is more nuanced
    Denver Post, Wednesday - 12/18/2024 - 08:52 AM

    One of President-elect Donald Trump ‘s most popular talking points during his campaign centered on the future of transgender athletes.

    A Denver judge this week dismissed a lawsuit filed by Douglas County — and supported by five other Colorado counties — that challenged state laws limiting local law enforcement cooperation with federal authorities on immigration matters. Denver District Judge David Goldberg concluded in a ruling issued Monday that Douglas County didn’t have standing to bring the action against the state. The ruling comes after the issue of illegal immigration played a key role in shaping last month’s presidential election, which will result in former President Donald Trump’s return to the White House in January.

    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 12/18/2024 - 07:50 AM

    FAFO is a word Trump voters should really learn the meaning of. It stands for F*k Around & Find Out. In this video I talk about my--and many other's--complete lack of sympathy for white union voters, Muslim voters & Latino/a voters who didn't act like adults & vote against human iron lung Donald Trump.
