"Courts generally have found that any reasonable doubts about a judge’s partiality must be resolved in favor of recusal." Rep. Jamie Raskin makes a powerful case for why Alito/Thomas must recuse themselves from J6 #SCOTUS case.

This week the world found out - #UCLA has the best student run college paper in America. So incredibly proud of the Bruin reporters who fearlessly kept reporting this week even while getting assaulted by vicious right wing mob. Support the Daily Bruin today. 💙💛 https://uclastudentmedia.com/donate/

This is complete failure of moral leadership on the part of Biden, his WH and Dem Leadership, Calling out the right wing mob attacking peaceful student protesters at #UCLA would have been easy win. Instead he blew it. Yes, I will vote for this guy but just shameful abdication of leadership. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/biden-speaks-college-protests-israel-gaza-war/story?id=109870179

A Republican American President would then obviously invade Iraq making up lies that Iraq was responsible for that attack without shred of evidence.

Again Democrats should be using this occasion to hammer home the point it was Trump who packed the #SCOTUS with far right Republican operatives to gut abortion rights. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/04/07/trump-abortion-democrats-republicans-00150800

WHISPERS (around the Trump/MAGA racist-hate mongering): it's the immigration that is boosting revved up American economy under Biden - adding to labor supply without overheating the economy.

It's becoming clearer everyday - nothing we studied in our con law classes in law school matter any more - as long as the far-right Republican operatives sit in robes on the #SCOTUS.

"If the Supreme Court is going to continue to act like a super-legislature, then we should start treating it like one. And that leads to the final step: recognize that the Supreme Court is the enemy of democracy, not its protector."

Despite what you hear from right wing politicians and their enablers in corp media: immigration is good for America:

“Trump is following the 20th century dictator’s playbook of dehumanizing vulnerable groups in order to isolate them and justify cruelty by the state."

Sure also seems like an excuse for him to deploy the military in attempt to put down any kind of mass unrest under the insurrection act. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/02/20/trump-mass-deportations-immigration/

The Biden Admin is casually strolling US into an all out war in the Middle East - a course of action that will be beyond devastating. Where is the leadership from the establishment Left speaking out against use of more military force (which never works)? https://responsiblestatecraft.org/progressives-biden-middle-east/
