The Roberts Court has a clear set of guidelines: the president can do anything he pleases, so long as it does not violate the rights of the owning class.

The Supreme Court:

"Emboldened by what Trump is doing, red states are going much further. They are attempting to destroy higher education as we know it." newrepublic.com/article/2068...

It's a relief, sure. But it's insane that it's a thing we need relief from, that it was 6-3, that Trump will now deliberately misinterpret other laws for the same ends, and that he can continue destroying world trade for another year until SCOTUS stops him again. Our system isn't equipped for this.

waaaah when you do bad things sometimes you have to fix them and that's haaaaaaard waaaaaaah

One of the most striking aspects of the Tariffs argument, IMO, was when Gorsuch pointed out that Congress can't just hand away its powers, AND HE USED POWER TO DECLARE WAR. 😎

"We owe conspiracy theorists a huge apology" No we fucking don't. They were talking about a secret conspiracy of gay trans Jewish lizard people. The Epstein files uncovered a conspiracy of rich, straight, white, right-wing Christian men, which these motherfuckers never even considered.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court. Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business. As well as everyone else who stepped up.

Turns out there’s an economic cost to everyone hating us.

I will still be paying the tariffs in protest of the Supreme Court! Who is with me?

Oh we know the purpose for them.

The endgame is mass deportation. The goal of this plan is to rebuild the entire detention system from scratch, turning it into “[Amazon] Prime but for Human Beings,” where ICE has a standardized detention system that moves people from arrest to processing to deportation as “efficiently” as possible.

yes, the wheels of justice are slow. agonizingly, excruciatingly slow. and oftentimes they miss or go off the tracks entirely. in fact most of the time. but occasionally, very infrequently, that big wheel of justice delivers theoretical remuneration for a handful of vested business interests

It’s giving middle passage

NYT: A Texas investor with ties to the Trump family said he had signed a deal with a Russian company to develop natural gas in Alaska. The Kremlin has been promoting investment opportunities with Russia since Trump returned to office.

The most shocking thing about this decision: 3 Justices would have let Trump use a statute that doesn’t mention tariffs to impose unrestricted ones.

There's three votes for anything on the supreme court. If trump said "I'm the god-king of arrakis" he'd get three votes and a lengthy opinion about the long history and tradition of english common law with regards to the spice melange

New: A comedian set up a fake ICE tip line as a joke. Then 100 calls flooded in: neighbors ratting on neighbors, a teacher reporting a kindergartener. Fans say the viral TikToks revealed deportation's "banality of evil." Conservatives say he should be in prison wapo.st/4kM4qbF

Shares of Blue Owl Capital, the giant private lender, plunged after the company announced that it was changing how investors can get their money out from one of its funds, raising fresh concerns about potential problems lurking in the private credit industry.

The GOP’s “Save America Act” is a “move fast and break things” weapon aimed at the 2026 election.

Hahahaahhaa hell yeah. The future rules! THE FUTURE RULES!

This should be a bigger story. More than 15,000 American farms shut down in 2025.

State elections matter. A lot.

Yes governor big boy sir, let’s go

Trump plans to send $10 billion in funds that Congress hasn’t appropriated from the US Treasury to an organization that he will continue to chair personally even after he is out of office. This is looting.

Anyway, here's Trump, Melania, Epstein, Maxwell and Prince Andrew

Forbes 30 Under 30 remains undefeated

I mean

all I can add is Epstein apparently knew something about law enforcement and who they really serve

I'm just saying... Has anyone seen Ben Wittes today?

Iran? If Trump gets it through his head that his power is truly circling around the drain, or that the presidents called "great" are "wartime" presidents--or that war is how you TRULY get to be a dictator--all bets about what we thought Trump believed about "not wanting war" are off.

Also uhh isn’t this like half of NVIDIA’s cash on hand? If investors had a single brain cell they’d see this as a huge red flag and a significantly worse deal. Before NVIDIA had to spend $100bn to get OpenAI to build 10GW of data centers (so $300bn of GPUs). Now it’s $30bn for stock! Boring

there's the magic words - "up to"

This is 40 year-old global warming denialist bullshit. Sure, higher CO2 helps plants grow... up to a point. Then, when CO2 (and temperature) levels get a bit higher, the plants die.

The possibility that pre-Elon Twitter was limiting the reach of conservative tweets was the greatest story in the history of journalism, while a vast network of sex trafficking pedophiles that included billionaires, celebrities and two presidents is just a big yawn.

RFK Jr/MAHA disciples, you got PLAYED. And everyone else saw it coming except you.

The American political term of the year at least, but probably the decade if not also the century, is "elite impunity".
