"John Roberts life’s work of repealing the 20th century is essentially complete. What is clear about him is that he is determined to use the Supreme Court to systematically dismantle every outrage against white supremacy and oligarchy that were passed by 20th century congresses and upheld by 20th century Supreme Court majorities:" ~ Joy-Ann Reid #SupremeCourt #JohnRoberts #VotingRights #Callais #GildedAge #JimCrow #corruption /1 https://www.joyannreid.com/p/a-sunday-reid-john-roberts-corrupt

You're unlikely to be surprised that not long after receiving a £5mn 'gift' from Christopher Harborne (in addition to monies he has funnelled into ReformUK Ltd), the Fascist Frog started to champion the deregulation of (and lowering of taxation on) cryptocurrency transactions.... On one hand, this is just a more brazen example of business as usual for our (often if not always) corrupt political class; on the other, one more reason to think he's unfit to govern. #NigelFarage #corruption h/t FT

The New Republic | Trump Used Shady Crypto Venture to Triple His Net Worth as President by Hafiz Rashid AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Donald Trump’s net worth has surged to an estimated $6.5 billion—up from $2.3 billion in 2024—after he profited roughly $3 billion from cryptocurrency between August 2025 and January 2026, primarily through the $TRUMP meme‑coin he launched just before his second inauguration, which briefly hit a $30 billion valuation before collapsing to under $2.50 per token; his sons’ firm, World Liberty Financial, now manages the venture’s crypto assets, including a USD‑1 stablecoin, and has attracted billions in funds tied to foreign governments such as the United Arab Emirates, prompting analysts to label the enterprise unethical and a breach of the Constitution’s emoluments clause, though the Supreme Court’s broad immunity rulings and partisan congressional support have so far shielded Trump from accountability.

The New Republic | Trump Sons Land Massive Military Deal as Family Corruption Grows by Ellie Quinlan Houghtaling AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Donald Jr. and Eric Trump have leveraged their family’s political influence to secure multimillion‑dollar federal contracts, first by joining the board of Powerus—a drone maker founded by former Army special‑operations veterans that recently landed an undisclosed U.S. Air Force purchase as the Iran war enters its second month, and second by using a shell vehicle backed by their investment firm American Venture to merge with a Kazakh tungsten mine that has received $1.6 billion in U.S. government support, culminating in a $20 million purchase of a 20 percent stake in Kaz Resources and a total “skyline” investment of roughly $24 million; while the brothers assert they are passive investors with no operational role, the deals illustrate how the Trump family is profiting directly from government spending tied to their father’s administration.

"For all the effort that Supreme Court justices put into insisting they are not 'partisan hacks,' when the Court resolves awful democracy cases, elected Republicans have remarkably little trouble understanding what they are supposed to do, and how quickly they are supposed to act." ~ Jay Willis #SupremeCourt #Callais #VotingRights #democracy #EconomicElites #corruption #Republicans /1 https://ballsandstrikes.substack.com/p/the-republican-justices-want-to-help

"The all-out sprint to make the 2026 maps at once redder and whiter lays bare the real project of the Callais majority: The Republican justices are trying to help their fellow Republicans win more elections in more places. Every seat counts." #SupremeCourt #Callais #VotingRights #democracy #EconomicElites #corruption #Republicans /2

"While the corrupt majority has consistently advanced and enforced an ideological vision of how the country should be run it has another, simpler brief: not allowing Democrats to govern when they are in power. When Republicans are in power, the powers of the presidency are almost limitless; when it’s Democrats, the office is enfeebled and hemmed in by a cobweb of invented doctrines." ~ Josh Marshall #SupremeCourt #Callais #VotingRights #corruption #Republicans /3 https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/you-can-have-democratic-self-government-or-the-corrupt-court-not-both

"When the Voting Rights Act was passed, White people in the South, and the party they adopted as theirs, the Republican Party, set out to do everything in their power to dilute and destroy the Voting Rights Act. The right of Black people to vote removed White people’s power to discriminate, so they struck back." ~ Lucian K.

"Ultimately, the decision in Callais leaves me with a question: Why are conservatives so afraid of democracy? Why are they afraid to let the voters decide elections?" ~ Joyce Vance #SupremeCourt #Callais #VotingRights #democracy #EconomicElites #corruption #Republicans /6 https://joycevance.substack.com/p/what-the-court-did-in-callaisand

"The Voting Right Act of 1965, which removed the ability of governments to put in place facially neutral but clearly discriminatory practices, and in doing so ratcheted up Black registration in Louisiana until it matched White voters. This effect was immediate and enduring across the South. The VRA increased Black political representation." ~ Don Moynihan #SupremeCourt #Callais #VotingRights #democracy #EconomicElites #corruption #Republicans /7 https://donmoynihan.substack.com/p/power-democracy-and-clarity

"…which in turn increased Black economic power by opening up previously barred avenues, like public employment. ... What has been the impact of the Roberts Court on democracy? Wealthy people have more political power than everyone else. Partisan actors have more power to reduce voter choice." #SupremeCourt #Callais #VotingRights #democracy #EconomicElites #corruption #Republicans /8

Donald Tantrump has spent around 2,000,000,000 taxpayer dollars buying back U.S. offshore wind leases and directing 'investment' (effectively subsidies) to #FossilFuels instead. Because delivery of fossil fuels through the Hormuz Strait is definitely reliable and in no way intermittent... #USpol #FossilFools #MAGA #GOP #TyrantTrump #NoKings #Corruption #IranWar #Trump https://apnews.com/article/trump-offshore-wind-energy-climate-interior-02a1fa04b750809bbe035a70256c734d
