Carolyn Bryant, the woman who got Emmet Till lynched, has died.

Anyone who thinks Emmett Till being lynched in 1955 is ancient history should remember that 18 current members of Congress are older than him and the white woman Carolyn Bryant who got him lynched just today died—and that without any accountability whatsoever.

In short, this systemic racism and racial terror against Black people is not ancient history. It's not even history.

It's contemporary reality.

Remember: One of the biggest reasons the federal debt has exploded is that tax cuts for corporations and wealthier Americans have reduced government revenue.

If Republicans actually cared about controlling the debt, they’d repeal the Trump tax cuts or pass taxes on the rich.

GOP strategy:

  1. Cut taxes for the rich & corporations, claiming they'll pay for themselves

  2. Explode the deficit

  3. Use the debt & deficit as an excuse to demand cuts to programs that millions rely on

  4. Repeat

They're trying to get away with it again. We can't let them.

Nashville’s city council approved a new stadium deal for the Tennessee Titans.

The deal includes $1.26 billion in public funding — the most taxpayer money for a stadium in U.S. history.

The stadium grift continues.

Is it any wonder that 73% of Americans support establishing a code of ethics for SCOTUS justices?

They clearly can't be trusted to police themselves.

Just to recap, Clarence Thomas:

-Accepted lavish trips from GOP billionaire megadonor Harlan Crow

-Had undisclosed real estate deals with Crow

-Didn’t recuse himself from a SCOTUS case that involved Crow's business

Are we really going to let him get away with this?

YES!. The GOP will and the indifferent America will also!
