It's an all-politics French Press today (with bonus Duke content). The lineup:

1. Mayor Pete could win. He really could. Here's why;

2. Or . . . maybe not. The perils of being a rising unknown; and

3. The S.S. Elizabeth Warren is listing to port: frenchpress.thedispatch.com/p/how-mayor-pe…
If this is a change election (it may not be), could Mayor Pete be the change the suburbs are looking for?
But then again . . . He's on a roll now, but his rivals really, really don't like him:

Today's lineup:

1. With military pardons, Trump doesn't rightly free troops from bad ROE, he wrongly frees them from the law;
2. Bloomberg hates the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 14th Amendments;
3. SCOTUS hints at a bright future for the separation of powers: frenchpress.thedispatch.com/p/the-worst-ca…
On Trump's recent pardons:
Bloomberg will see your soda ban and raise you a dose of anti-religious discrimination:

I weigh into the "common-good capitalism" wars. A movement that looks at our national problems and says "less economic freedom and less personal responsibility" is set to compound the very problems it seeks to solve: frenchpress.thedispatch.com/p/nationalist-…
I also briefly discuss the Democratic debate:
I also talk about what is -- and is not -- the "Russia hoax":

I am a pro-religious liberty, pro-life, would snort Cocaine Mitch’s judicial confirmations if I could, kind of conservative.

I will explain exactly once why conservatives should support impeachment based on what is publicly available and undisputed.
At this point, there is no question that President Trump directed U.S. officials to withhold security funding to the Ukraine so Ukraine would investigate the Bidens. That is the kind of abuse of the President’s authority we should not tolerate.
So it is absolutely clear what we are talking about: the President used hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer money as a bargaining chip to make a foreign country investigate his rivals. That is a textbook play from dictators who are trying to keep power.

In Mathews v. Diaz 426 U.S. 67 (1976), the Supreme Court held that a provision of the Social Security Act denying eligibility for Medicare part B unless the applicant has been in the United States for a minimum of five years and has been admitted for...
...permanent residency does not deny the applicant of liberty or property without due process of law. In the opinion Justice Stevens authored for a unanimous Court, the Court addressed the requirements Congress may impose on noncitizens applying for federal medical insurance.
This decision, rooted in a class action suit against the federal government, reaffirmed Congress’s and the President’s plenary authority over immigration policy.

Tocqueville: hmmmmmm I noticed that you’ve given your President almost kinglike powers over foreign policy, good thing United States has a tiny military, no neighbors and no enemies!
(I’m going to keep live-tweeting “Democracy in America” until every last one of you unfollows me)
I like that he correctly assessed that you could act like a huge putz when it comes to scrapping with Congress over domestic policy, but all of a sudden when you put on your Big Diplomacy Hat the public is more likely to treat you like a big fancy boy.

06/01/2019 - 78 years ago today, the longest-serving #UnitedStates #President, #Franklin D. #Roosevelt (#FDR) addressed the 77th #Congress with his "#Four #Freedoms" speech with the intent to shift #US #foreign #policy from that of #neutrality to #interventionist.
#FDR promoted the idea that the people of the world, in all nations, shared entitlement to four freedoms: that of the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear.
#FDR is arguably one of the most 'successful' #US Presidents. Some would argue that on the basis of his numerous social policies such as 'the New Deal'. Others, however, would argue that his role during the second world war was more prevalent to his success & everlasting legacy.

At dinner, I learned more about corruption + racism built into society by our masters. A book we discussed (Zinn) was used as part of this "Left" resource's bibliography. I had to share. [A thread]

@BlackSocialists - thoughts on this resource?

historyisaweapon.com/indextrue.html
It very simply lays out the case that we are all being controlled. It covers hidden history of the United States including their (and, due to the systems created by our masters, our) racism.

If you haven't been in school for a while (or are in a terrible school), some of the words might trip you up. Dictionary.com and Wikipedia.org are two good resources to help you.
