After the U.S. Supreme Court this week crippled labor unions, sided with anti-choice health clinics, upheld President Donald Trump’s Muslim ban, and preserved GOP gerrymandering, Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement, which will enable Trump to nominate a far-right replacement—and the billionaire Koch Brothers’ political network plans to pour millions into promoting the president’s choice.

Once Kennedy’s departure was made public, a spokesperson for the Koch-backed group Americans for Prosperity (AFP) told NPR about plans to spend “seven figures” to support a forthcoming nominee.

As the Huffington Post noted, the Koch network—which includes the groups AFP, Freedom Partners, and Concerned Veterans for America—dropped millions on “waves of direct mail, canvassing, digital ads in a dozen states, town halls, and more than 500,000 phone calls” in support of Trump nominee Neil Gorsuch, who filled the seat left vacant by Antonin Scalia following a choice by Senate Republicans to block former President Barack Obama’s efforts to appoint a justice to the position.

Sarah Field, the vice president for judicial strategy at Americans for Prosperity, told the Post the network is “impressed with the whole list” of Trump’s 25 potential nominees—noting that “the president has a great record of picking judges with a fidelity to the Constitution”—and plans to back whichever candidate he ultimately chooses.

As Washington Post reporter Michelle Ye Hee Lee pointed out, the billionaire brothers has been salivating over the chance to use their vast wealth and political power to shift the court even further to the right:

While Field said, “faced with a vacancy on the highest court, we encourage President Trump to build on that success by nominating a Supreme Court Justice in the spirit of Justice Neil Gorsuch—a nominee who will respect the rule of law, interpret the Constitution as written, and not seek to advance a political agenda,” adding to the court a justice who subscribes to that form of judicial interpretation would likely mean a series of victories for a far-right political agenda.

Although Kennedy has had a hand in forcing through 5-4 decisions that pleased Republicans, he also has been a key vote on cases involving reproductive and LGBTQ rights. The court cannot simply overturn past decisions without a case to weigh in on, but after Kennedy’s annoucement Wednesday, critics expressed concerns about future rulings on cases pertaining to abortion, marriage equality, or affirmative action if the president can get a nominee through the Senate before the midterms.

Critics slammed the Koch network’s plans to invest heavily in backing Trump’s nominee as “one more example of big money attempt to establish a society governed by the rich,” and declared, “This is not democracy.”

Despite the profound unpopularity of the Republican Party’s tax law, pushed through last December amid loud protests directed at President Donald Trump and GOP lawmakers, party leaders on Tuesday unveiled framework for their “tax cuts 2.0” package—signaling that they are doubling down on their plans to benefit the rich at the expense of working Americans.

The framework, which House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady (R-Texas) released, claims that it would permanently extend tax cuts for individuals that were set to expire in 2025, help families to save for college, and help small businesses create retirement plans for their workers.

The plan will “build on the growing successes of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and ensure this energized economy continues moving forward,” said Brady.

Critics pushed back against the notion that the Republican tax law has “energized” the economy and created “successes” to build on.

“The new line from Republicans in Congress is that Americans are ‘better off’ because of last year’s tax cut, so we have to extend it,” said Morris Pearl, a former managing director at Blackrock and chair of Patriotic Millionaires. “Well, some Americans are better off—people like me who are wealthy enough to not need work—but most Americans are still struggling. The first round of tax cuts was overwhelmingly skewed towards rewarding wealthy GOP donors rather than helping the middle class, and this second pass will be just as bad.”

As Brady, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), and Trump did last fall as they promoted their earlier tax plan, the framework released on Tuesday portrays the proposal as being beneficial for working Americans, with promises of “family-friendly savings plans” and the ability to grow “brand-new entrepreneurs.”

But most benefits of the law that Republicans passed last winter have been shown to go to corporations and the wealthiest Americans, with the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) showing that “a third of the benefits from corporate rate cuts will ultimately flow to the top 1 percent of households, not ordinary workers.”

“The new law will increase income inequality since it delivers far larger tax cuts to households at the top, as a share of income, than those at the bottom or middle,” wrote CBPP in April.

The GOP’s promises that companies would boost hiring and salaries after receiving their tax cuts have been proven categorically false since the beginning of the year, with just six percent of companies’ windfall going to employees’ wages and the vast majority rewarding wealthy shareholders.

The American public, just 25 percent of whom approved of the tax plan as Republicans prepared to pass it, have reported this year that they have seen few benefits from the law.

In April, more than half of those polled by Politico/Morning Consult reported that they had not seen a boost in their pay since the tax plan was passed.

The new framework, said Pearl, is likely to further line the pockets of wealthy corporations.

“The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act led to more money being funneled into the bank accounts of the ultra-rich while worker wages actually dropped, and there’s no reason for us to expect anything else from Tax ‘Reform’ 2.0.,” he said. “The framework says it expects GDP to increase by 2.2 percent, yet they only project wages to increase by 0.9 percent—even in their absolute most optimistic framing, they still admit that less than half the benefits of their bill will go to workers.”

As Bloomberg News reported, the plan also omits a provision that would have allowed victims of sexual harassment to write off their legal costs. As Republicans plan to use the framework as a talking point heading into the midterm elections, the omission may not be corrected until after November, if at all.

Some have filed suit to stop it while others have argued there’s nothing to worry about, but whether you like it or not at 2:18 PM EDT your phone buzzed an irritating sound and vibrated as you received an unsolicited text message from none other than President Donald Trump himself.

Minutes later, at 2:20 PM EDT, for those listening or tunied in, the radio and television versions of the same alert system will be launched.

So what the hell is going on?

According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which is in charge of the new system, the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) text message “will appear on consumers’ phones and read, ‘THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed.’  Phones will display this national test using the header ‘Presidential Alert.’  These nationwide alerts, established pursuant to the WARN Act of 2006, are meant for use in a national emergency and are the only type of alert that can be sent simultaneously nationwide by FEMA.”

According to Popular Mechanics:

No cause for alarm?

As Common Dreams has previously reported, plenty of people are concerned that President Donald J. Trump will now have at his disposal as system that allows him to send an unsolicited and unblockable message to every American with a smart phone.

“I’m not sure that the system would protect us from rogue announcements by a president who has exhibited the kind of behavior President Trump has over the last two years,” Irwin Redlener, director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University, told Vox in an interview last month. “I personally would not give this microphone to Donald Trump.”

Democrats and Republicans in Michigan appear set to deliver sharply different verdicts in fights over the direction of their parties on Tuesday when they go to the polls to pick nominees for their next governor.

On the Republican side, Attorney General Bill Schuette is the front-runner ahead of Lt. Gov. Brian Calley in the latest race to pit a candidate backed by President TrumpDonald John TrumpSenate advances public lands bill in late-night vote Warren, Democrats urge Trump to back down from veto threat over changing Confederate-named bases Esper orders ‘After Action Review’ of National Guard’s role in protests MORE against a more traditional Republican.

Trump endorsed Schuette last year, while Calley pulled his endorsement of the president after “Access Hollywood” tape was released weeks before the 2016 election. Calley does have the backing of term-limited Gov. Rick Snyder (R), but polls show Schuette with the lead.

“With the White House and the Supreme Court on the line, Brian Calley deserted Donald Trump, helping Hillary ClintonHillary Diane Rodham ClintonWhite House accuses Biden of pushing ‘conspiracy theories’ with Trump election claim Biden courts younger voters — who have been a weakness Trayvon Martin’s mother Sybrina Fulton qualifies to run for county commissioner in Florida MORE’s campaign,” a narrator says in a Schuette campaign advertisement. “Now President Trump is standing with Bill Schuette.”

An EPIC–MRA poll, conducted for the Detroit Free Press two weeks ago by auto-dial, showed Schuette leading the GOP field with 42 percent of the vote. Calley trailed at 24 percent, and two other candidates hovered right at the double-digit mark.

While Schuette tries to ride the national conservative wave, a similar wave on the liberal wing of the political spectrum looks less likely to succeed.

Several prominent progressives, including Sen. Bernie Saners (I-Vt.) and his group Our Revolution, congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and organizations like the Progressive Change Campaign Committee have lined up behind Abdul El-Sayed (D), the former health director for the city of Detroit.

Over the weekend, Sanders campaigned with El-Sayed in front of a crowd of 1,400 in Detroit.

But El-Sayed has struggled to build the kind of grass-roots enthusiasm that propelled Sanders over Hillary Clinton during the 2016 Democratic presidential primary in Michigan. 

He faces former state Sen. Gretchen Whitmer (D), who has backing from most of the state’s core Democratic constituencies such as the United Auto Workers and Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan — and a lead in the polls.

The EPIC–MRA survey found Whitmer capturing 49 percent of the vote. El-Sayed clocked in at just 19 percent, behind self-funding businessman Shri Thanedar (D), who took 22 percent even after pouring $10 million into his own race.

While El-Sayed has pitched himself as the champion of “Medicare for all” and a $15 minimum wage, Whitmer has focused on her experience dealing with Snyder to expand Medicaid and raise the minimum wage, deals she made when she was the Democratic leader in the state legislature.

“Like a lot of people in Michigan, I was brought up to work hard,” Whitmer says in her latest advertisement. “I was … the first woman elected as a leader in the Michigan Senate, where I took on the tough fights, like expanding Medicaid and increasing the minimum wage.”

The two races illustrate the divergent paths the two parties have taken in the last decade or so, and to some extent the results of primary contests around the country this year.

On one hand, Republicans have increasingly nominated candidates favored by national factions, whether those who appear on Fox News frequently or those who manage to capture Trump’s attention.

Schuette is one of seven gubernatorial candidates Trump has endorsed this year, alongside GOP nominee Brian Kemp in Georgia and Rep. Ron DeSantisRonald Dion DeSantisGOP tentatively decides on Jacksonville for site of convention DeSantis pushing to host Republican National Convention in Florida Florida bars and theaters to reopen starting Friday, DeSantis says MORE, who now leads the Republican field in Florida.

On the other, Democrats have largely — but not entirely — chosen candidates who win support from more traditional Democratic constituencies. Democratic gubernatorial nominees like Rep. Jared PolisJared Schutz PolisState leaders urge protesters to get tested for coronavirus amid fears of new outbreaks The Hill’s Morning Report – Protesters’ defiance met with calls to listen Overnight Health Care: White House shifts focus from coronavirus | House Democrats seek information on coronavirus vaccine contracts | Governors detail frustrations with Trump over COVID-19 supplies MORE (Colo.), Fred Hubbell (Iowa), Janet Mills (Maine), Steve Sisolak (Nev.) and Richard CordrayRichard Adams CordrayPoll: Biden, Trump neck and neck in Ohio On The Money: Trump officials struggle to get relief loans out the door | Dow soars more than 1600 points | Kudlow says officials ‘looking at’ offering coronavirus bonds Ex-CFPB director urges agency to ‘act immediately’ to help consumers during pandemic MORE (Ohio) have won primaries in which they faced more liberal rivals. 

Even Georgia’s nominee, former state legislator Stacey Abrams (D), built her campaign on the back of support from Democratic-heavy Atlanta before she won endorsements from national figures like Sanders and Sen. Kamala HarrisKamala Devi HarrisRand Paul introduces bill to end no-knock warrants The Hill’s Campaign Report: Biden campaign goes on offensive against Facebook McEnany says Juneteenth is a very ‘meaningful’ day to Trump MORE (D-Calif.).

A matchup between Whitmer and Schuette, in a traditionally Democratic state that voted for Trump in 2016, is likely to become one of the marquee contests of the midterm elections. An Emerson College poll conducted last month, which also showed both Whitmer and Schuette leading their primaries, hinted at a tough race: Whitmer led Schuette by a 43 percent to 36 percent margin.

Democrats have made states like Michigan a top priority, both because of the role it plays in the electoral college and in the decennial redistricting process, which the next governor will oversee.

History suggests Michiganders will be in the mood to hand control to the outside party. Democrats and Republicans have traded control of the governorship since the 1980s, when Jim Blanchard (D) succeeded William Milliken (R) in the executive mansion.

Ned Lamont makes comeback in Connecticut

September 18, 2020 | News | No Comments

Twelve years after exploding onto the political stage with a shocking upset over a sitting senator, businessman Ned Lamont on Tuesday took a new step toward a political victory that has so far eluded him. Connecticut Democrats on Tuesday chose Lamont to be their nominee for governor. With 10 percent of the vote in, Lamont held 85 percent of the vote, The Associated Press projected. Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim (D) trailed with 15 percent. ADVERTISEMENTLamont used his ability to fund his own campaign to chase several other prominent candidates out of the race, including Susan Bysiewicz, the former secretary of state who opted to become Lamont’s running mate. Lamont will start out the favorite in the sprint to November when he will face businessman Bob Stefanowski, who won the Republican primary on Tuesday. Connecticut remains a heavily Democratic state; Hillary ClintonHillary Diane Rodham ClintonWhite House accuses Biden of pushing ‘conspiracy theories’ with Trump election claim Biden courts younger voters — who have been a weakness Trayvon Martin’s mother Sybrina Fulton qualifies to run for county commissioner in Florida MORE won the state’s electoral votes by 14 percentage points in 2016. But Republicans believe they have a shot at making inroads in Connecticut, thanks in no small part to the man leaving the governor’s mansion. Gov. Dan Malloy (D) has narrowly won two terms in office, though his approval ratings may be lower than any other incumbent governor in the country. Republicans hold half of the 36 seats in the Connecticut state Senate. Democrats only control the upper chamber because of Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman’s (D) tie-breaking vote. Lamont’s political career began in 2006, when he challenged former Sen. Joe Lieberman, then a Democrat, over Lieberman’s support for the war in Iraq. Lamont beat Lieberman in the Democratic primary by about 3 percentage points — but Lieberman won the general election, as an independent candidate, by about 10 percentage points. Four years later, Lamont ran for an open governorship, but lost the Democratic primary to Malloy by 15 points.

Trump endorses Arizona governor ahead of primary

President TrumpDonald John TrumpSenate advances public lands bill in late-night vote Warren, Democrats urge Trump to back down from veto threat over changing Confederate-named bases Esper orders ‘After Action Review’ of National Guard’s role in protests MORE endorsed Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) ahead of the state’s Republican gubernatorial primary on Tuesday. 

“Governor Doug Ducey of Arizona is doing a great job. It would be really nice to show your support tomorrow by voting for him in Tuesdays Primary,” Trump tweeted. “Doug is strong on Crime, the Border, and our Second Amendment. Loves our Military & our Vets. He has my full and complete Endorsement.”

Scott, meanwhile, is facing only a nominal GOP challenge in his Senate bid, while DeSantis is locked in a primary race with Florida Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam. Florida’s primaries are also slated for Tuesday.

More than a dozen progressive groups, led by Every Voice, have launched a nationwide week-long campaign calling on political candidates at all levels of government to “fix democracy by strengthening voting rights, fighting big money through small-donor elections, and ending gerrymandering.”

While the campaign officially kicked off on Sunday, the groups spurred a Monday afternoon “Twitterstorm” to promote the campaign’s message and petition, and encourage candidates to “campaign on their plans to create the democracy we deserve.”

Campaign organizers and supporters shared messages on Twitter with the hashtag #FixDemocracyNow:

In addition to Every Voice, Ballot Initiative Strategy Center, Center for Popular Democracy Action, DailyKos, Demos Action, Emerge America, End Citizens United, Indivisible, Latino Victory Fund, MAYDAY, MoveOn.org, Our Revolution, Patriotic Millionaires, Progressive Change Campaign Committee, Run For Something, and Working Families Party are participating in the campaign.

With many keenly aware of the chaos and heartache President Donald Trump caused by implementing his family separation and child detention policies, Trump critics have donated millions of frequent flyer miles to families who remain separated more than a month after the president was forced to end the practice.

More than 30,000 people retweeted a message from University of Michigan law professor Beth Wilensky this week regarding the frequent flyer miles her family was donating to a local charity. The Michigan Support Circle would in turn give the miles to a father and his three-year-old son, who were waiting to be reunited with their family elsewhere in the United States.

Wilensky’s tweet helped result in 5.8 million miles being donated to Miles 4 Migrants, a group that uses “donated frequent flyer miles and money to book flights that bring refugees to their new homes and reunite families separated by conflict and persecution.”

The families that the group is helping all have government approval to be reunited and relocated to join their families who are already based in the U.S., Miles 4 Migrants co-founder Nicholas Ruiz told Buzzfeed.

“The only thing holding them back is the cost of the flight,” he said.

In the weeks after Trump signed an executive order directing immigration officials to stop separating families, reports surfaced that immigrants and their families were being forced to pay hundreds if not thousands of dollars in airfare to reunite.

Miles 4 Migrants has booked flights for 151 people since forming in 2016, and its directors expect to help 390 more following this week’s donations.

More than 2,500 children were separated from their parents by Trump’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy, and the administration missed a court-ordered deadline at the end of July to reunite every family.

According to a court filing by Trump officials this week, 559 children remain separated from their parents, while an untold number of reunited families lack the funds needed to get them to their extended families in the United States.

Ruiz attributed the enthusiastic response to Wilensky’s tweet to the widespread outrage over the family separation crisis and the desire of many Americans to directly combat Trump’s violation of families’ human rights.

“What would you do if you were separated from your family?” he said to Buzzfeed. “[Donors] see this as something very simple and a very tangible way to make a difference.”

The race for Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-Texas) Senate seat has won occasional national attention as polls have shown an increasingly close competition between the right-wing lawmaker and progressive challenger Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas)—but a viral video of O’Rourke speaking passionately about civil disobedience, police violence, and racial justice has put the national spootlight on the Democrat.

The three-term congressman and former El Paso City Council member was asked earlier this month by a voter in Houston how he viewed protests by NFL players who have chosen to take a knee during the national anthem, in recognition of numerous police shootings of unarmed black Americans and other systemic racial injustice.

While expressing understanding for the person who asked the question, who clearly stated his belief that the players are being disrespectful, O’Rourke objected to the notion that football players have been protesting the American flag, the anthem, or the military, and spoke out forcefully in favor of the athletes’ right to demonstrate, likening their actions to those of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and other civil rights icons.

“Non-violently, peacefully, while the eyes of this country are watching these games, they take a knee to bring our attention and our focus to this problem to ensure that we fix it,” O’Rourke said. “That is why they are doing it. And I can think of nothing more American than to peacefully stand up, or take a knee, for your rights, any time, anywhere, in any place.”

Watch:

When announcing his candidacy to retain his seat, Cruz gloated that O’Rourke didn’t stand a chance in the state, releasing a musical ad featuring the lyrics, “If you’re gonna run in Texas, you can’t be a liberal man,” and invoking the image of Texas as a purely red state.

But recent polls have shown the two candidates neck-and-neck, with Cruz leading by just two points in a Texas Lyceum survey, five points according to a University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll, and six points in a Quinnipiac poll.

On social media, responses to O’Rourke’s comments also demonstrated that his defense of the protests—along with his refusal to take corporate and PAC donations, support for stronger gun control laws, and demands for the passage of the DREAM Act and an end to the “militarization of our immigration enforcement system”—has resonated with many of the state’s voters.

Led by Reverand Gregory Livingston, community activists in Chicago on Monday are vowing to shut down access roads leading to the O’Hare International Airport, one of the largest and busiest travel hubs in the United States, in order to draw attention to the city’s struggle with gun violence, racial segregation, economic inequality, government neglect, and the pervasive mismanagement—particularly of the public schools—by Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

Occurring on Labor Day, if the protesters are successful in shutting down or significantly curbing access to the airport, it could have major implications for travellers nationwide.

“What we’re trying to do is end the tale of two cities in Chicago,” Livingston said on Monday. “We think that so much of this violence is generated by Chicago’s legacy of segregation.”

On social media, the hashtag was being used.

Rev. Livingston also spoke with reporters near the airport on Monday morning:

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, “Police have said — and repeated Monday — that no protesters would be allowed onto the Kennedy. And they appeared ready to back that up. As Livingston spoke, dozens of police officers were standing across the intersection, in a restaurant parking lot.”

In addition to law enforcement, city resources were brought out Monday to stifle any attempt to block the roadways:

While it remained unclear as of this writing how large the attendance might be at Monday’s protest, Livingston said the disruption is a tactic towards achieving the goals of the community he represents.

“Disrupting business from O’Hare that comes from a busy holiday will force them to pressure the mayor to listen to our demands,” Livingston has said.
