Be maximally nasty. Be nasty to our politicians and media figures if they aren't nasty. I want a solid wall of open contempt emanating from every screen. Make them whine, and hit back harder. This will shape our political culture for years

THIS IS WHAT THE TECH OLIGARCHS ACTUALLY BELIEVE

pickett's charge is one of the stupidest military maneuvers ever ordered and I do not have to die on that hill because so many confederates did it for me

The Supreme Court summer break has just begun, but one Justice is already preparing for the next term.

Ad Rock: you can disagree with the current All: POPE MCA: but if you push his buttons then you’re a All: DOPE Mike D: ordain yourself a bishop and you’re All: SCHISMATIC Ad Rock: excommunication is All: AUTOMATIC

You, of course, can imagine the front page, large bold font headlines & Jake Tapper features on CNN about Joe Biden's mental fitness for office if he had said that America cannot build a 747.

Republicans aren't allowed to cheer Flo Balogun goals

If it happens on the 250th then American exceptionalism is real

So you are saying that these parents invented a fake teenager to be mad at? And that you think that should influence policy?

Wow amazing. You’ve managed to make an affordability issue into a moral test that scapegoats the marginalized. It’s a wonder why moderate dems are getting their ass kicked by a bunch of young activists.

Birthright citizenship is going to be the new Roe v Wade in the sense that Democrats need to win more elections than they lose in perpetuity to protect it, because Republicans are not making the mistake of appointing another Justice who will uphold it, ever

Buddy that is the most Catholic demo on earth

If the law explicitly says X, and you claim the law says X while I claim the law says Y, then you’re right and I’m wrong. But the current standard in the US is that if the law says X but Republicans feel Y, everyone must pretend the law says Y, or at least that Y is a reasonable interpretation.

He probably is going to be beyond reach but it will be absolutely vital to prosecute and imprison Don Jr and Eric

I know we feel the need from left to center left to take the wins where we get them but a 5-4 decision on the literal plain text of the Constitution is absurd and this means we have to cripple the court, permanently, period, end of story.

It’s really important to install an entire federal discrimination system so somebody’s cis daughter can finish 14th at her swim meet.

claremont, cato, aei, hoover, manhattan inst, koch foundation, the entire chicago school of econ, niskanen, TPP, tax foundation, basically every law school, brookings, reason, r street, mises, hudson inst, every chamber of commerce, atlas network, etc

My honest belief is that the dissenters should just be fully disbarred. You cannot sincerely believe the 14th Amendment does not contain birthright citizenship. To hold this is to be either so dishonest or so incapable of analysis that you cannot practice law.

Guaranteed: 1) Black girls will be harassed and demanded to be tested over and over again regardless of how competitive they are. 2) Winners from public schools will be relentlessly hounded by the parents and coaches of losers at private schools, with the goal of making them quit the sport.

One big lesson from the conservative legal movement is that you can just kind of assert that the Constitution says whatever you want and ignore people who disagree with you. Progressives should do way more of this going forward.

Unfortunately, that won't happen, so the only other option is to start prosecuting owners for vehicular manslaughter.

Stacking the Court and overturning Citizens United is the bare minimum for the next Dem presidential candidate.

Cool that James Madison envisioned everyone having a rocket launcher but the authors of the 14th amendment explicitly stating their intentions doesn't count for some reason.

The Constitutional Crisis started in 2000. You've been living through it your entire adult life. The reason politics feels hopeless is by design — conservatives broke our democratic form of government to guarantee that the people cannot act against them and are continuing to break it.

PAULA WHITE: Nobody has stood up like you have stood up TRUMP: *sitting* *asleep*

Repulsive.

some people just hate the US constitution. and it hates them back, believe me.

These guys never think of how their actions will affect future generations, how would Rose feel if once his wife is old enough to vote she gets turned away

The Supreme Court believes that there are exactly two forms of racial discrimination that the law must prohibit: Black people going to college, and Black people voting

Kagan points out in the dissent here that Alito is too much of a coward to even put Trump’s supposedly non-racist statements in his opinion.

Would be good to get all the members of SSCI who voted to confirm her as DNI on the record about this reporting.

Brendan Sorsby, to be frank, has acted like a complete dipshit during this gambling saga every day except the one where he said he was going to seek help Going to the attorney immediately, every single time, was so stupid. It was SOOOOOO easy for the NFL to make an example out of him, a nobody

They sentenced someone who wasn’t even at the ICE protest to 30 years in prison for moving “left-wing zines” at the request of his wife, who was arrested at the protest.

I am not advocating for anything here. I am simply noting that if you can be locked away for life for being near someone with a gun during a protest then the logical conclusion is for your actions to get a hell of a lot more kinetic.

No points are awarded for doing what the Constitution plainly commands us to do.

prayers up to matt miller, terrifying x.com/nfldraftscou...

Your periodic reminder that the holding in Biden v. Nebraska was that the statutory power to “waive or modify” student loan payments did not entail the power to modify student loan payments

look folks we're never getting anywhere until we eliminate this system that encourages the shittiest people alive to buy anything they want and transform it into a weapon in their service

This

“Turn that the fuck off” is an acceptable thing to say to an adult stranger blaring music in a shared public space because nobody being that much of an asshole is entitled to burden anyone else with the obligation to be polite.

the world would be a much better place if we simply never heard from any of the clintons ever again

Waging a war of aggression to preserve your enemy's right of self defence.

I feel it’s sort of underrated the extent to which a Dem Congress and/or states could (1) absolutely destroy car dealerships as a business, and (2) this would cripple a lot of GOP state and local parties

this is news new york times reporters had months ago, but they suppressed it and kept it out of the paper so they could goose book sales. this should be a scandal but its how modern journalism is conducted now.

The great project of the 21st century is to get conservatives to understand politics and ideology isn’t just on TV or in your phone, it’s actually real life

Jesse Singal pretends to be disturbed by my comment about Elon Musk, but is not disturbed by Elon Musk’s vigorous attempts to encourage pogroms in Europe. Being disgusted by the latter is cringe, sophisticated people aren’t.

a man can dream
