Bingo, and all tied up in a bow with Bondi’s adopting Barr’s pretextual indictment to pretend as though the rule of law still exists for these people

Zombie Reaganism

Team America 2 is gonna be wild

It’s all a cynical game to these people. They hope these Nixon-Reagan-Bush talismans of “crime,” “drugs,” and “terrorism” have enough magic left to win in the court of public opinion, but they’re wrong. We see through their desperate, exhausted lies. We will win. And we will turn the page.

Whatever else you think you are getting, the last thirty years have proven that if you elect Republicans, you get: Tax cuts for the rich Regime change Massively increased debt And that's about it.

an “inherent power” to respond to an “imminent” attack is just a license for aggressive war on the president’s whim

Just last month: www.cnn.com/2025/12/03/a...

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

I mean given that he is constitutionally barred from re-election what exactly can you call this other than legalized bribery?

CA9, 2-1, says California’s ban on open carry in counties with more than 200,000 people violates the 2nd Amendment. Two Trump judges in majority. GWB judge in dissent. cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/op...

The latest Republican running for Colorado Governor labels Gov. Jared Polis and others as the "synagogue of Satan Jews" and has called for their execution by hanging. MAGA podcaster Joe Oltmann recently said "Violence is probably the only solution."

Reactionary Minoritarian Juristocracy

This is the world Justice Kavanaugh sanctioned in his foolish & unnecessary concurring opinion to the Court’s order in Noem v Vasquez Perdomo. His hopes of cleaning up that blunder with a plaintive footnote in last week’s concurring opinion in Trump v. Illinois, demonstrates his staggering naïveté.

Chicago resisted. Protests came with a price. Bruises from pepper balls and fits of sickness from the tear gas. But also the shattering of illusions and loss of faith that what they witnessed could not happen in America. It did and is happening in America www.chicagotribune.com/2025/12/28/c...

MAGA and DHS are melting down over Kilmar Ábrego García “making TikToks.” I went to look at the video they’re complaining about, and all he’s doing is lip sync to a Christian song in Spanish about trusting God amid trials and tribulations. www.foxnews.com/politics/dhs...

They’re totally that boorish drunk guy at the concert who spills his beer on you then when you say “dude you spilled your beer on me” tries and fails to punch you in the face with a wild swing that has the oaf losing his balance and falling on his face in the same puddle of beer he spilled on you

This was literally one of the concerns raised during the immunity case, and the majority hand waved it away.

This administration lied about the people it sent to an overseas torture prison. It lies about the people it’s deporting. It lies every day to gain political advantage. Not a chance in hell they won’t lie about huge swaths of people they suspect might vote for the other party.

“the president seems to be using the doj to hide his years of involvement with the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world history” feels like a story worth reporting on

This hits so real. In fact, a few weeks ago I recorded a bunch of earnest videos saying almost word for word what @cameronkasky.bsky.social said here. I have been sitting on the videos bc they’re almost too earnest. Bottom line: if you want non-establishment candidates, you have to donate to us.

more confirmation that lurking clearly behind this idea of the “heritage american” is a straightforward contempt for the actual history and tradition of this country, such that vermeule has to hallucinate a framework to justify his desire to jettison the clear meaning of the 14th amendment

Howie reached out to me when I launched my campaign in April to grill me on policy, but I insisted on extracting all his rock stories and gushing to him about @crooksandliars.bsky.social’s central place in my mid-aughts political awakening. I am so lucky to have known him, even if just for 8 months.

He will lose and claim victory and refuse to open the electoral college envelopes and we all need to be prepared for that moment

Blame the Roberts Court

Them, a terrorist: "I was shooting up a Chanukah party in Sydney Australia to attack the Zionist policies of the state of Israel" You, totally not an antisemite: "sounds reasonable why would anyone consider that an antisemitic attack?"

Wrote this re SCOTUS’s inevitably siding against Trump on birthright citizenship, but it also applies to tariffs and National Guard

The reason @martylederman.bsky.social’s brief was so effective is because it gave Roberts and Barrett (and Kav) a way to vote against Trump without calling him a fucking liar, which is what the lower courts based their decisions on

Every opinion makes good points about a president’s legal authority to call up the Nat’l Guard and the procedural concerns of resolving it on the shadow docket. But they all ignore what the district judges knew these cases are really about: Trump’s bad faith invasion of our cities based on lies.

Kavanaugh spends a footnote pretty much saying STOP CALLING THEM KAVANAUGH STOPS

SCOTUS adopts @martylederman.bsky.social’s argument, which will also mean CA9 and CA7 will have to do so as well. The upshot? If Trump wants to occupy our cities, he’s gonna have to send in the military by finding a way around the Posse Comitatus Act.

I’m Mike Sacks, and I endorse this message

The thing to do when a large chunk of your organization is fleeing because you’re cozying up to anti-Semites is to wish everybody of all faiths a merry Christmas.

Who will Heritage get to make up stuff about voter fraud?

Trump’s DOJ says SCOTUS Bruen decision abrogated governing circuit precedent that upheld DC’s assault weapons ban in 2011. The vote in that case was 2-1. Then-Judge Kavanaugh’s dissent introduced the history and tradition test that SCOTUS adopted in Bruen.

@jamalgreene.bsky.social’s How Rights Went Wrong was hugely influential on my own thinking, and I’m happy to see him jump into the Court Expansion space
