Brennan Center for Justice: Supreme Court Term in Review – Scheduled for July 9, 2025

by  • 

The Supreme Court currently faces some of the biggest challenges in its history. Trump* says he is determined to break through the constitutional limits of executive power, and the Court’s own public approval hovers near all-time lows. Will the justices stand up for the Constitution on the biggest issue facing the country, the extraordinary executive power grab?
Against this backdrop, the justices are poised to hand down rulings in key cases that will affect millions of people’s lives, including access to healthcare, education, and political representation and the power of federal courts to issue nationwide injunctions. Join us on Wednesday, July 9, at 3 p.m. ET for a virtual conversation with Supreme Court experts about the Court’s decisions this term and what they mean for the rule of law at a time when democracy is under strain.
Whether you follow the Court closely or are looking to understand its role in our system of checks and balances, this discussion will provide essential context for how the Court is working today.

Bernie Sanders & AOC – Fight the Oligarchs: “… Largest Rally We Ever Had”

by  • 


“When I took the stage in Los Angeles yesterday (Saturday April 12, 2025) and looked out at the crowd, I could see people a half-mile away. Thirty-six thousand (36,000) people attended — it is the largest rally we have ever had.

And when I see the record crowds like the ones we had yesterday, or the ones in Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan, I believe it may just be possible that this country is on the brink of the political revolution we have been talking about for a long time.

These people are not showing up because I am running for something. There is no presidential campaign happening.

These are people attending in huge numbers who are not just saying NO to oligarchy, but they are saying YES to raising the minimum wage, YES to expanding Social Security, YES to guaranteeing health care as a human right, YES, to cutting the cost of prescription drugs, YES to paid family and medical leave, YES to equal pay for equal work, YES to more affordable housing, YES to making childcare and higher education affordable to all, YES to taking on the existential threat of climate change.

And most importantly they are saying YES to a government and an economy that works for all of us and not just the billionaire class and the Oligarchs.

Later today, we will be in Salt Lake City, Utah. Tomorrow we go to Boise, Idaho before returning to California on Tuesday for two rallies in districts held by Republicans and ending this leg of the tour in Missoula, Montana on Wednesday.

We will be streaming each rally on YouTube and Twitter, and I hope you will tune in to watch and share the links with your friends.
