Scott, I love when you print some good hopeful news, although it is SHAMEFUL that not one Repub showed up to hear Renee Good's brothers beautiful testimony to her.
I'm also thrilled about SCOTUS giving Calif a win, while I'm jaded enough to think they are getting ready to give us the old screwarooni of a a tarrif win for him.
Yes Robin D you said exactly what I was going to say. It’s disgusting and despicable that not one Republican had the b***s to show up at this hearing whether shadow or not. They really are disgraceful.
100% Vicki. disgraceful, despicable COWARDS!!! Every last one of them. Lindsey Graham is too busy figuring out how he can sue and screw us for millions because Jack Smith got his toll record for his phone. What a bunch of obsequious toads. They are all TERRIFIED that Donnie "Tony Soprano" Trump will have them all primaried.
I thought to myself when I heard Renee's brothers talking about her, what grace they showed, even after such a violent, senseless death. She was a poet, so it makes sense her brothers would be eloquent ax well. Her poor family, children, wife. Kills me for her kids. I will never forget her especially because we saw her speak, and smile at her killer.
One day when we get our country (and Congress and SCOTUS) back (I don't know if I will be here to see it) I hope someone will sponsor a "Good-Pretti" bill and sign it into law preventing these cold-blooded killings on the street by our own gov't so no president will have the right to send a militia of untrained criminals on our streets . So many have been killed and hurt by this, but I somehow feel like these two lives, maybe because they were so shocking and close together, will have made a difference. They cannot be forgotten. 🙏
I’m actually shocked by the Supreme Court ruling. I’m glad other Countries are doing the right thing and investigating wrong doing. Thank you Scott👍🏻✌🏻✊🏻
Didn't they pretty much green light partisan gerrymandering? And how would this be different than what the GOP did in TX - other than the fact that the voters of CA actually approved it with the passage of Prop 50?
A cult requires non-thinking followers who turn over their thoughts and choices to the group. maga is a cult. Members have no interest in reason, just obedience and uniformity, hence the uniform of its name and the little red hats.
While I still try to keep hope, I have no faith in "The Seditious Six" because this isn't over. Yet somehow I am more terrified of Alito and Thomas retiring and giving "REDACTED" (loved that touch Scott) 2 more seats to fill while he is in power, or Vance, Stephen Miller, and every other horror who has his ear.
But what about his spawn? What's the last count? 14? Definitely need to send little "X"/Damien from the Omen. He needs them to populate his planet. And send the mothers with them. He will need a Space X rocket as big as the Int'l Space Station by the time he's done.
Fun fact. He's a 53 year old druggie coward. The only "space" he is ever going to see is on a ketamine trip. But seriously, I would like to see his and Peter Thiel's citizenship revoked and have them deported. They (and Ruoert Murdoch) are the 3 worst immigrants this country ever allowed in. While I think Putin is the richest man on the planet, Elon is right up there. They don't like our democracy that has given them more power and money that anyone deserves to have (and I am not anti-money. I don't need people eating the rich. I need for them to pay their taxes, like the rest of us) then they have no right to be in this country. Plenty of room for them in Russia. They can carve out their own country. The biggest land mass with 9 time zones for 145 million people. I think there is plenty of room for them.
Good for Newsom’s pushing for Democrats. He isn’t taking it sitting down. I love 🇫🇷 ‘s going after Musk. They are prosecuting what a crime is in France. They aren't frightened of him.
It gives me hope that a global response is against tRUMP and his ilk is publicly evolving. However, he is blinded by his own narcissism & surrounded by sycophants so the E files will need to blow up globally (thank you Parliament!) to bring him down. We must keep up the good fight.

Hi Scott-Thanks for keeping us going with your succinct, informative, and hopeful posts.
Are you surprised that the Supreme Court sided with California over Trump?
I never thought I would say this, "Great, that they sided with California over Trump. However, six are openly enabling Trump so I think it might just be "throwing us a bone" to placate us/get us to back off. If they REALLY care about democracy and the Constitution, they will RESCIND TRUMP'S IMMUNITY NOW.
What are your thoughts about X/Twitter’s offices getting raided?
I usually do not wish ill on people. That said, Elon Musk is such a supremely awful being that I am glad and hope all other X locations get raided. I also hope his Tesla sales and stock continue to plummet along with X.
Final Note: Beautiful tributes to Renee Good by her brothers. I listened to the testimonies of those taken by ICE. Chilling. Infuriating. Heartbreaking. And disgraceful not a single Republican had the guts to show up. It shows what a cold, gutless, immoral bunch the GOP are.
Ahhh. Thank you Bender for having the guts to say what I've wanted to say for so long. I posted something sarcastic on Twit once about security detail at Limbaugh's funeral. It was a long list that included Interpol. They wouldn't post it.
I may be unaware, but any DHS funding the Democrats support should include provisions prohibiting ICE from being ANYWHERE near polling locations. That slob Bannon’s threats are brazen. They can’t win without cheating.
Wired has a good article about a chat room where ICE/CPB employees are venting. Apparently, a lot of the older workers are very angry at what it has become. It's become a shitshow internally.

Day by day...
Shame, Shame, Shame on all Republicans that did not show. 🤬🤬🤬
Like Game of Thrones. They need to hand out bells to ring at them along with the whistles for ICE as we scream at them.
Great post Robin D
OMG. You're so sweet. Made my day! 🤗

I’m a nurse so that hit a real nerve with me too. I thought Kent State would never happen again and here we are 50 years later!
I love the Good-Pretti Bill idea. You should suggest that to your congress person.
You're a nurse?.Another angel on earth. 🙏
Thank you ! Retired but yeah worked in CCU and Recovery Room. Called PACU now.
Agree ! Shameful!!!

Speaking of TX, The DownBallot had a very interesting post about the TX Senate race:

Don’t let up for a second, folks. Keep the pressure on!
I think some of SCOTUS is beginning to see the colossal error they made so glad to see this!
Good on France!!
What has happened to our country, fueled by MAGA, is appalling. SO good to see other countries awaken & respond. Hope they keep it up

I hope you are right about SCOTUS, Deb!

It’s such a great time to be a part of the resistance!
Love the raid!
I’m nauseously optimistic that the tide is beginning to turn.
Well put
Hang in there. Feeling the same
Made me laugh....I'm stealing that
"nauseously optimistic" You're killing me, Mike.🤣🤣🤣
I hope musk get ran out of every country, he needs to go live on the moon!!
He wants Mars. Let's send him there. Alone.
But what about his spawn? What's the last count? 14? Definitely need to send little "X"/Damien from the Omen. He needs them to populate his planet. And send the mothers with them. He will need a Space X rocket as big as the Int'l Space Station by the time he's done.
He needs to get run out of America. He’s an immigrant we definitely don’t want
Fun fact. He's a 53 year old druggie coward. The only "space" he is ever going to see is on a ketamine trip. But seriously, I would like to see his and Peter Thiel's citizenship revoked and have them deported. They (and Ruoert Murdoch) are the 3 worst immigrants this country ever allowed in. While I think Putin is the richest man on the planet, Elon is right up there.

And I'm glad about both Cheryl!
Keep up the good work! I read your report every day and trust it completely.
Thank you Tama!
It gives me hope that a global response is against tRUMP and his ilk is publicly evolving.

Thank you Julie I agree with the tributes especially
Renee Good's brother's testimony is heartbreaking.
I think Musk is scared shitless over the raid in France. Good.
I think we all know that Trump’s plan is to demolish the Kennedy Center and build another faux gold monstrosity. 😠 😡 🤬 🤬 🤬
Yes, France isn’t the U.S., they don’t give a shit about his money and theatrics. Bigger fines France! Make it $billions.
Forget the fines. I want to see him on the ICC list and an Interpol warrant out for his ass.
Ahhh. Thank you Bender for having the guts to say what I've wanted to say for so long. I posted something sarcastic on Twit once about security detail at Limbaugh's funeral. It was a long list that included Interpol. They wouldn't post it.
Xitter, Facebutt, and TikTok are so throttled it's ridiculous.
