ASTONISHING, all of it. That no one in the court mentions the elephant in the room that is retributive prosecution, although that was not the core of this hearing... That some justices question "I can do anything I want" as a judicial rationale only when the national economy hangs in the balance... That others think they can prop up this malevolent tactic when we see the pattern involving one Trump opponent after another being dragged into court or before Congress...
WHAT WAS ALSO NOTABLE to me is that Congress members found it suitable to protest out front when their retirement accounts are at risk but not when ICE shot a blameless woman in the face or when DOGE threw their own colleagues out of jobs or when Roe was overturned, or when... I just found it very interesting that THIS was when they showed up.
It's so refreshing that indie media have changed the viewers' standards to what really matters. We don't care how you deliver, just what you deliver! Way to go, Katie.
Thanks Katie for that extended list of affronts and atrocities to the democracy we used to have. Here is hoping that the court will do something. Here's hoping they will affirm and reinstate America's right to democracy.
I'm so grateful to The Contrarian and Katie Phang for keeping the public informed about these shenanigans by this (frankly) crooked government we're suffering under.

ICE shooting a blameless woman in the face has been swept under the rug.
Notice;
Not a peep about the the ICE fellow who shot her.
Media articles on the incident are non existent.
Any and all discussions on the matter have been suppressed.
That is because we no longer live in a democracy. It has been swept under the rug.
Thanks for the highlights Katie!
Thanks, Katie for taking complex legal/court procedings and making them clear and understandable! I'm actually enjoying learning in this way...
Me too!

Thank you , Katie. I haven't seen this much information and analysis of the SCOTUS hearing today. Please keep up the vital reporting.
Awesome summary!
Amazing how you are able to smoothly carry on despite wind blown paper and god knows what else !

Thank you Katie Phang for reporting live.
Wow. Ms. Phang is fantastic as a reporter. I felt as if I was actually watching with her at the case. And she explained it so clearly.
Eye witness reporting - Contrarians are so lucky.
Chairman Powell and former Chairman Bernanke at oral argument! That paints a picture.

He is going after Dr. Cook because she is woman and African-American.
