It's interesting that Mike Johnson is bringing up just war doctrine, because Trump's Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, is clearly and serially violating some of its most basic tenets: newrepublic.com/article/2083...

NY jury finds Live Nation illegally monopolized ticketing markets, Bloomberg News reports reut.rs/4t7qS2q

The tenet they express is also fundamental to Islam as well. Good for the Bishops

Can confirm

Two brilliant civil rights lawyers - one Asian American; one Black American. Both women. @aclu.org’s Cecellia Wang & @legaldefensefund.bsky.social’s @janainelson.bsky.social. They argued two of the most consequential cases in SCOTUS this year. This embrace is one of my favorite moments of the day.

Despicable fucking government.

Truly remarkable how many people have told the Pope, in some way or another, to "shut up and dribble." Or corrected him on the Bible, despite their thin education on theology. Or told him to stay out of US affairs, despite him being a US citizen. The hubris is amazing.

I hope there are Democratic ad makers collecting all these clips of congressional Republicans talking about how much congressional Republicans suck

BOYLE: Trump said 'the US can't take of daycare, Medicaid, or Medicare, that has to be up to the states' VOUGHT: He doesn't want to to that B: He said it. So you're disagreeing w/POTUS? V: He's talking about fraud B: Excuse me. He never used the word 'fraud.' He said we have to pay more for wars

This is excellent by Boyle. What CBO and others have pointed out is that millions of eligible claimants will lose vital health care coverage because of administrative burdens. By design! That is the purpose of the bill. It does not target fraud. It just weaponizes burdens against the public.

Sulyok was the prime mover in breaking the rule of law in Hungary on behalf of Orbán during his tenure on the Constitutional Court, so this is a major step.

For me, a big “aha” moment in law school was when I realized that every year, the handful of normal, median-ish guys (they were all guys) who would land huge clerkships seemingly out of nowhere were all officers in the student FedSoc chapter

Mood, every single day.

How do you make $105 billion and pay no taxes? Just ask these companies: itep.org/88-profitabl...

I study racism for a living and can still manage to be shocked by how institutionalized it is. What do you mean they were giving tax-breaks to white supremacists celebrating treason? just a wild country

If you're wondering where the Target thread went, here's the answer.

imagine if you hit powerball. imagine if you find out youre the secret heir to genovia and youre really anne hathaway. imagine dragons

Important context here: The men were not pardoned. They filed suit to have their convictions thrown out. The DOJ would normally oppose this, as the original prosecutors. But to do that… they’d have to assert the men committed sedition… on behalf of Donald Trump. So instead, they just fold.

Also very common in Durham NC back when I was in private practice

Hey @gregdoucette.bsky.social can I borrow the traditional “cops are great” for this one?

Can someone out there please count up all the CPAC speakers who ranted about George Soros funding left wing causes? Be sure to take breaks and stretch every hour or two.

This is the way.

Always nice when tech CEOs reveal they have no idea what work is, much less how their own company functions. No amount of AI handwaving makes it feasible to have 6000 direct reports. What he's envisioning is 6000 people whose sole incentive is to manipulate the AI serving as their manager.

President, extremely normal brain-wise: Pope weak on crime, also I’m Dr. Jesus Christ defector.com/president-ex...

In an open letter to American psychologists, Iranian psychologists called for an assessment of the mental health of the US political leaders in the interest of world peace.

If this didn't merit contempt proceedings, I'm not sure what would.

From the guy who claimed a child tax credit while worth billions

It's so funny to me that right-wingers love to pretend to love the Middle Ages and the Crusades and all that and then complain that the Pope shouldn't get involved in politics.

In case u think they are still the smartest in the room

This is white supremacy in a nutshell

In case anyone is still confused

And they should be in a Benz

I sounded the alarm about Donald Trump’s sons backing drone company, Powerus. Now, Powerus wants to sell drones to countries under attack by Iran. Are Trump’s sons cashing in on the war their father started? Americans deserve answers.

The NYTimes editorial board—"elite" by any definition—writes this drivel about "elite cultural progressivism" after a hand-picked Trump supporter flown in from Arkansas for a photo-op was asked by Trump about trans athletes and said "I really don’t have an opinion on that."

The irony of a sitting senator saying this

So it’s a war, you’re saying? Like, one that has to be declared by Congress?

aside from the shocking! reveal, it really goes to show how much they love getting lied to that the amount she was getting taxed on $11,000 in tips is supposed to cover cancer treatment, the loss of her husband's income, and a few vacations plus an $1,800 car repair in the next post

Vast difference between religious freedom and imposing Christian nationalism in the workplace. The Trump admin is doing the latter.

This is an existential crisis for American higher education, & it remains maddening, if not sadly predictable that there continues to be <exactly> no loud, collective public action by university chancellors & presidents to speak out against & try to reverse these policies (Olson 1965, Akerlof 1970).

I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."

checkmate, fellow terrorists

concentration camps

We r governed by stupid people both in government and at the voting booth. Disgusted and angry

Yep. Some who say they can't believe how Epstein was platformed, rehabilitated, and enabled by rich and powerful people - somehow have failed to remember who else is an alleged sex trafficker www.npr.org/2025/05/28/n...

Do not sacrifice yourself for any company… the worst ones will let you die, but even the less bad ones will replace you two weeks after.

This whole thing was a setup for TV and that any news organization takes this even remotely at face value is going to turn me into the Joker.

Someone clear this up, preferably a real journalist, is she a plant? Is there even a husband?

ICE detaining doctors is absurd. Let me explain something: foreign-trained doctors get trained and practice in places where American medical graduates often do not want to go. They are not taking jobs from anybody. They go to undesirable locations and take undesirable jobs.

If the government is detaining doctors who serve underserved communities, the only conclusion left is that it is willing to leave those communities without healthcare.
