People, for the love of God, please stop treating birthright as some kind of sweeping victory. It was 5-4 on the constitutional issue. The dissent laid out a fucking ROADMAP for what Trump should do next. The court always gives Trump multiple bites at the apple WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU HAPPY ABOUT?

my god

New: Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship. Roberts writes for majority, joined by Barrett and the libs. Kavanaugh concurs in part and dissents in part. Jackson writes concurrence joined partially by Sotomayor. Alito, Gorsuch, Thomas all dissent (+ Gorsuch also signs on to Thomas' dissent)

I really thought we had Gorsuch at oral arguments and I'm dismayed that this is 6-3 and not 8-1.

TMZ DC with perhaps the most brutal video from Trump's Great American State Fair, showing Dr. Oz on stage bragging to Dean Cain about how big the crowd is, only for the reporter to pan around and show absolutely nobody is there. Original post: x.com/i/status/207...

when it zoomed out I gasped

I'll have more to say on this later but between the tariffs ruling and now the 'Trump can fire agency heads willy nilly UNLESS they're at the Fed' rulings..... John Roberts's "Don't Fuck Up My Bag" Doctrine is going strong ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/trump...

Tomorrow at SCOTUS is gonna be like: a. Trans athletes get screwed b. Another campaign finance law is gutted c. Birthright citizenship is upheld ... and we're all supposed to focus on (c) and forget about all the atrocious decisions that preceded it. Let's not, please!

It's cool how I can count on the last week of June being the worst week of the year. Every year.

Is anybody else frustrated with the Supreme Court lately or is it just me?

hey uhhh my birthday is tomorrow and it's be pretty cool if you bought some merch maybe? 👉👈 brittahkiin.com

Fifth most liked post on Bluesky yesterday. No escaping the fucking AI liars.

fortunately i am uniquely qualified to deal with being diverted to somewhere in the DMV region you didn't intend to be

I want to thank Adriano Espaillat and Dan Goldman for their service to their communities and the country. And I want to welcome all of our new Democratic nominees including Brad Lander, Cait Conley, Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier, Micah Lasher, Adrian Boafo, and Ben McAdams.

“Loitering is not permitted in this area. Please proceed to a designated location. Thank you for your cooperation,” a surveillance machine tells a small cluster of National Guard members as they patrol the fenced off Reflecting Pool in the rain.

New paper! w/ @cocoscilab.bsky.social🧵Can large language models reason flexibly, or have they learned what reasoning looks like? We introduce a new paradigm to test this question—the riddle riddle—and find that humans and LLMs show opposite patterns of performance. 📜

I am not going to make a prediction here, because I already know the answer to whether Alito is going to retire next week, and I am simply choosing not to tell you

You've blued your last man group

this cannot stand.

what if they fought back against republicans instead

That’d be Tom Suozzi, who, as @jonathanlarsen.bsky.social reports, lives at the subsidized C St prayer house of The Family, a mostly GOP organization committed to “biblical capitalism” & “infiltrating” Jesus—manly variety—into govt.

Enjoy this article from a Minnesota newspaper in 1882 noting that Scandinavians love their home countries so much that it will take them generations to assimilate into America. www.loc.gov/resource/sn8...

John Roberts will want you to forget everything that happened this week at SCOTUS after he confirms that the first sentence of the 14th Amendment means what it says, please do not fall for it

It's a short, good, 4-page read. Check it out. She basically says, "I gave you the chance to get rid of this case and you declined. The consequences are on you."

Correct. The District Court's finding were entitled to clear error review, and Alito doesn't even bother to recite the standard of review, just acts like they're deciding the racial animus claim entirely de novo. bsky.app/profile/alan...

fuuuuuuuuuuck

Once again we are embarking on the legal profession’s stupidest ritual: The Supreme Court treating opinion release like a papal enclave, because “just telling you what they’re doing” would require the justices to acknowledge that they are real people, not infallible legal oracles

There is no good reason trump isn't just shouted down everywhere he goes by everyone at all times. He is weak and flailing and the list of ways to make that known to him is endless. He would almost certainly completely collapse if he was met with waves of this from every person he engages with.

I know y’all dying for a crowd shot but I’m going to wait until closer to show time because I already know people will steal early on pics to make a possibly not true point

Technically, they’re Remains now.

ever accidentally go for a *checks notes* 6.2 mile walk in your house shoes because someone on the internet was wrong

The AP has already called the #NY10 Dem primary for Brad Lander, who ousts Rep. Dan Goldman and will be the heavy favorite in November.

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis. Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention. So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption. 1/ Here it is - in one🧵

The practical effect of this sort of nonsense is people will start insisting on trials, and the prosecutorial apparatus will break down from the backlog

The President doesn't want to talk to the pool, it reminds him too much of his embarrassing project involving another pool

Isaac Chotiner: can you list some examples of systemic oppression green creatures face? Kermit the Frog: I’m sorry? Isaac Chotiner: well you do mention the difficulty quite a lot

From attorney Christopher Parente, whose firm represents one of the defendants seeing their charges dropped:

Folks saying that valve should just subsidise the deck are… clearly blissfully unaware of what would immediately happen if ‘cheaper than it should be computer running Linux’ was put on sale online. I envy that lack of engagement. I aspire to it.

Crazy thing is: D+15 is probably the ceiling. That no major media outlet is even entertaining this possibility means no one will be ready. badfaithtimes.com/this-is-what...

something’s definitely with the reflecting pool

oUR sOil shut the fuck up

Teacher with school tour group outside the Supreme Court: ok everybody! Who can tell me what the Supreme Court does? 16yo, under his breath: fuck things up

weird take for a duck i know

i generally err on the side of historic preservation, but i am rapidly becoming anti-pools lol

Is it carbon monoxide

This will put New York on the map

The Knicks only lost one game in the last two months and it was the one Trump went to lmao

If Trump gets picked up in a tornado, thoughts and prayers for Oz.
