Re: Judicial Reckoning: Ocasio-Cortez Takes On Thomas and Alito
 

I do not agree that this is likely to "tame" the court. But what I think it may do is help delegitimize the court among the public. At some point, as the court continues to define themselves as god-kings, especially if Trump does not win this election, the Democrats are going to have to simply defy the court. For example if the Democratic Party wins the electoral college and swing states controlled by Republicans simply throw out Democratic victories and assign their electoral votes to Trump (with this court cheering them on) Democrats will have to simply insist on counting the actual winners in those states - telling the Court "You have made your ruling. Enforce it yourselves." For this to work the public has to understand that the court is bought and paid for and is no longer able to make legitimate binding rulings.

Re: What Joe Biden Could Do: Resign and Make Kamala Harris President
 

The first woman president needs to be chosen not by experts and back room folks, but by voters. "And it would be a hell of a spectacle " . We don't want a spectacle, we want a candidate selected by the voters, the people. Where were all these experts in January, when there was time to mount a challenge to Biden in the primaries? Are we headed for a talking heads Democratic Party with support from the Wall Street elite? Where is the left in all this. The Democrats always need us to walk and work, but where are left voices?

Re: Why Bernie Sanders Is Thanking Elon Musk
 

Good job Jake!

How about a follow up???  How much did the 2012, 2016, 2020 elections for preside. in total donations from pacs supporting the two major candidates, pacs against each of the candidates, political party donations and individual contribution to candidates pacs, etc. 

We have the best politicians money can buy.  And they nearly all have been bought.  Peace!  Buzz Davis, Veterans for Peace in Tucson 608-239-5354

Sadly campaign fin. reform is not a major issue on politicians radar nor is public financing for all Fed. and state and local political offices.

Re: Sticking With High Rates Will Crash the Economy
 

Is there anything more boring and vitally important than taxes? Well, yes, imo, obviously: Monetary policy of the Fed. Here, via Portside, economists explain fairly clearly why raising interest rates has been ruinous for the rest of us while the rich sail through safety. The Fed policy of raining interest rates has placed the burden of inflation-fighting squarely on us and lets the rich off the hook. There’s a reason people are unhappy notwithstanding low unemployment rates: we, many of us, are in trouble. Unless and until Biden et al. stop singing “happy days are here again” many of us will have difficulty supporting his policy of burdening the rest of us and letting the corporations and the rich off Scot free.

Re: IDF Ordered Hannibal Directive on October 7 to Prevent Hamas Taking Soldiers Captive
 

So, does this mean, as I've heard rumors of before now, that Israel itself was responsible for many of the Israeli deaths in the Oct.7 attack by Hamas? Is the IDF responsible for the burned out cars with burned corpses, as well as the burned down and/or exploded residences? If so I, the number of Israelis killed by Hamas on Oct.7 should be amended (down).

Join Us to Protest Netanyahu’s Visit to Congress  --  July 24  (US Campaign for Palestinian Rights Action (USCPR Action) and Adalah Justice Project, American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), The Rising Majority, MPower Action Fund, Jewish Voice for Peace Action)

Wednesday, July 24 - 11AM EDT

Where: The Capitol, Washington DC

Why: To draw a red line against genocide. To show up now, when it’s most important.

Join the National Mobilization here to #RejectTheSpeech.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is slated to address Congress next week — as Gaza burns.

We have no choice but to show up, online and in person, to #RejectTheSpeech

THIS JULY 24: surround the U.S. Capitol and issue a notice of Citizen’s Arrest for Benjamin Netanyahu for crimes against humanity! The U.S. government has invited the Prime Minister of Israel to address Congress while he carries out a genocide against the Palestinian people. We won’t let a war criminal walk the streets of DC!

The people of the world stand with Palestine and against the genocide committed by Israel with the full agreement of the United States. In Washington DC, we will surround the Capitol building while the U.S. war criminals cheer on (and fund!) Israel’s genocidal campaign and welcome Netanyahu inside.
