the Democrats need to announce that anyone who drops a bomb on Iranian civilian infrastructure will die in prison

This is why AOC shifting on this issue actually matters btw

Iran just reportedly hit an Oracle data center in Dubai and i can't stop thinking about how good it would feel to see my tax dollars spent firing Tomahawk cruise missiles at data centers.

Damn. Maybe he really has that dog in him to hit an 80% disapproval rate.

DONALD TRUMP HELP ME I FLIPPED MY CAR AGAIN

Turns out covering up for pedophiles isn't a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

This is Iggy. Iggy is 26 pounds.

What’s next:

Just want to tell a story about the day I was proudest of Kat's campaign, and why I'm so excited she's quadrupling down on it. One day when she was running, a potential constituent reached out to her. She needed baby formula with a specific protein in it ASAP, but she could no longer afford it.

YOU 🫵 are personally responsible for every flaw in the democratic coalition

Mattis in particular is the ur-example of this, but you see it as well with Kelly, Frank, Kurilla (not Votel, probably because he has a brain and also I assume has gone to therapy)

something like No Kings is essential merely because it gets people in the habit of saying “this is not OK, I don’t have to accept this” instead of just checking out, and i think elite passivity in face of Trump promotes popular apathy

lotta great choices in this thread but this one always makes me laugh

two of the hardest things ever written are "face god and walk backwards into hell" and "you cannot kill me in a way that matters" one of them came from a tumblr shitpost and the other one came from a dril tweet about hollering at zoo animals the internet truly is a magical place

neolithic guys get pissed if you tell them their cultures are organized by the type of pots and jewelry they made. "we called ourselves the blood hunters" "we conquered villages far beyond this horizon" sorry bud you're the western linear pottery culture now

Think about this one like once every 45 minutes

all timer banger

Lmfao holy fucking shit

We have become numb to the obtuseness of NYT's political coverage - but even if they are grading them on a special NYT curve of being annoying - this is bad. How a reporter uses language matters.

Solicitor General Dean Sauer accidentally uttered the activation code for Neil Gorsuch’s left-wing sleeper agent programming — he attempted to steal yet another thing from Native Americans. Birthright citizenship is expected to be safe from the Supreme Court for now.

you could tell someone in 2015 that the same month in 2026 would see a moon mission launch and a new Star Wars in theaters and they'd be excited about it but by the time you described everything that happens between now and then they'd go insane.

OH HELL YES. NEIL GORSUCH, THE LAST JUSTICE OF THE MOCHICANS, ASKS "Do you think Native Americans are citizens of the united states." IF YOU TRIP GORSUCH'S NATIVE AMERICAN WIRES, YOU LOSE. GOOD DAY, SIR!

unfortunately for Trump the birthright citizenship question has hit this version of Neil Gorsuch

A live look at Gorsuch

The case is sumbitted. The easy prediction here is 7-2, birthright citizenship stands, Trump loses. But... I don't think we have Kav as much as others. So that could be 6-3. BUT... my most radical take would be 8-1. With only Alito dissenting. That's... *a possibility*

Questions to Sauer: What the fuck are you talking about man? Questions to Wang: Hmm... interesting. Have you thought about this though?

Kav... if we agree with you, it could be a short ruling. "Respondents have the better of Wong Kim Ark. Government does not ask us to overturn. Affirmed." Wang says "yes." Everyone laughs. But... YES... IT REALLY SHOULD BE THAT EASY!

I have absolutely seriously had people ask if we are worried that our kids are North Korean sleeper agents

Alito is now bringing up Iranians. He's basically asking about "sleeper agents," the conservative belief that babies of immigrants can be raised as Manchurian Americans who will somehow turn on us when they are *activated* at a later date.

All right, KBJ is cleaning up this argument. She's saying that "domicile" was there because of racism and the court was trying to get the public to accept the idea that a Chinese baby was a citizen. Thanks. And thank the gods for KBJ.

The other reason "it was a mess" was because of... RACISM. So, I'd also, you know, point that out.

See, if it was me, I'd say "Yeah, it was a mess. And that mess was settled by the Civil Rights Act. Which came waaay after non-domiciled people were being given birthright citizenship. And the Civil Rights Act decided that was fine. Which ended the question."

ACB's "yeah yeah yeah, but what about The Constitution?" interruption just now should have ended Sauer's day on the spot.

Kavanaugh finally asks a question. Asking about the difference in the texts between the 14th A and the Civil Rights Act. "One might have expected Congress to use a different phrase, if they wanted to disagree with Wong Kim Ark." Umm... I *think* we have Kav.

Lol. Gorsuch is basically like *Okay, so you want to lose on the Constitutional issue. Fine.*

literally, from the top of my pre-oral argument notes

It's a Scalia line about when the Court decides a case in which it arguably didn't have jurisdiction (but didn't actually address whether it had jurisdiction). The question is whether the fact that the Court reached the merits is an implicit holding that it *had* jurisdiction (Scalia: "NO!").

news to the enslaved!

Sauer just had to say that slaves had an "intent to remain" in the US. Motherfucker WHAT??

Amy Coney Barret asks an extremely relevant question. Sauer/Trump's point is that birthright citizenship only counts for parents who have *allegiance* to the US. ACB points out that CAPTURED SLAVES.. had no "allegiance" to the US, and arguably wanted to escape. But their childrens were citizens.
