This could probably be done with simple legislation. Article 3 says almost nothing about how the Supreme Court operates. It mentions that a chief justice will exist, but that’s about it. There are essentially no constitutional rules about how they hear or decide cases.

NEW: Carol Loennig tells Nicoll Wallace on MSNOW that the DOJ intends to try and indict Letitia James a THIRD time. The trouble with that is these multiple tries help James prove her vindictive and selective prosecution bid, and bolster a case to get the grand jury materials.

There's a pattern here.

This was my ship, the USS Point Defiance (LSD-31). I was a radarman and didn't handle the guns. There are six 3"50 caliber gun mounts and a shell could destroy a boat. No shell was ever fired without a log entry. A gun crew had 3-4 enlisted and an officer responsible. Interview those sailors.

Would prefer this sentence conclude with him still in the DoC custody , but only one conviction was sustained , but he got the special program for offenders who couldn’t be held, but were still a danger . youtu.be/wWWbtwiGBTQ?...

Investments in public transit have failed to provide the right incentives for infrastructure projects to get completed in an affordable and timely manner. Join this webinar to learn how reforms to the shape, type, and speed of investment can transform project delivery and service outcomes.

The class was first ordered in his first term. I was expecting two to be renamed, because someone, not understanding the namesakes, would call the Galvez and Alvarez woke. The former was a Spanish Governor/General who was an ally of the Continentals, latter was the first www.twz.com/sea/navy-sin...

When the GOP has lost *checks notes*… Ron Paul, we’re really living in the upside down

Take pride in our fellow American, Sen. Mark Kelly, vigorously standing up for the Constitution and against a violence-inciting White House occupant who is failing to intimidate this good man and honorable public servant.

The Bush Administration crafted fear, so Americans would willingly submit to being overly surveiled. And now Dump is manufacturing bullshit, so that surveillance can be ramped up.

"According to the opinion from Judge Brown, a Trump appointee, 'it’s challenging to unpack the DOJ's letter because it contains so many factual, legal, and typographical errors'....” www.vox.com/politics/469...

Past is prologue. In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests. And everything that led to it feels way too familiar right now. This is not a history lesson, it’s a warning.

The White House is close to implementing a new rule that would effectively eradicate congressionally approved whistleblower protections. newrepublic.com/post/203409/...

Glad this made it through the border. It’s an annual thank you to the People of Boston from the people of Nova Scotia for their help in the wake of the Halifax Explosion. Feared it would be held at the border while Trump’s people assessed it for tariffs. www.boston25news.com/news/local/b...

Who was the one person to vote against the Epstein files being released?

Gosh, I wonder what Marjorie Taylor Greene did to piss off Trump? Could it possibly have something to do with her call to release the Epstein files?

In the global electrification race China is marching ahead. The US and Europe risk falling behind clinging on to yesterday's technologies.

Where we're at Helps GOP —TX: 5 seats toward GOP —OH:2 seats toward GOP, but also 1 toward Dems —NC: 1 Dem seat to likely GOP Helps Dems —CA: 5 seats toward Dems —UT: 1 seat flips Dem ? —MO: 1 seat to GOP... but veto referendum? —VA: Dems trying —FL: GOP maybe GOP push stalls: —KS —IN VRA —...

This is odd, it looks like the DOJ skipped suing Texas entirely. The Justice Department is now suing California over the new congressional district boundaries that voters approved just last week, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday in a post on X. Who are they going to sue, the voters?

One step closer to Germany bringing back its draft. Voluntary as long as the Bundeswehr hits recruiting targets, which will grow as it is increased. www.dw.com/en/germany-t...

More and more cities are waking up to modern regional rail! With through-running and electrification, cities can serve urban and suburban transit needs alike - improving access, reducing driving, and creating a greener future. #Electrolink

Megyn Kelly said she thinks “there’s a difference between a 5 year old and a 15 year old” when it comes to sexual abuse. Megyn Kelly has a 14 year old daughter. Megyn Kelly is going to Hell.

Under Trump 2.0, tech platforms have proven to be much more responsive to the demands of a rising authoritarian than to pressure from workers, users, or civil society, writes @davekarpf.bsky.social. If we are going to repair democratic institutions, we to have to do it ourselves, he says.

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck? It's the Pope in 1982.

History will recall that a hideous man took power, and cowardice bloomed a thousand rotten sycophants. Yet, it will also recall that they failed in their overreach and malice. We will make it through. Have no doubt about that. steveschmidt.substack.com/p/america-wi...

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy. For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy. The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work." The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting. And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Every single last Democrat I know is pissed. And I know a lot of Democrats.

See this short clip from a 1943 film about Fascism in America. Its relevance to 2025 is chilling. #usa #trump #movie #video

Keep up the pressure folks. The folders are getting screamed at and realizing there won't be a shred of cover.

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons. State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/oc...

Oh hey icymi I was in the Sunday chair at Defector today. I wrote two posts, one about the airline crisis (Trump’s fault ofc) defector.com/if-youre-stu...

Girl Scouts in a Chicago Suburb hosted a food drive. But the girls encountered masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents with weapons. "ICE turned it into a scary and what felt like an unsafe environment for us to be out with these kids" chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen. Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people. Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

NEW: EXCLUSIVE: I spoke to sources at FBI and DOJ that reviewed the Epstein files. It’s worse than the photos. I’ll let you know what they said today at 3:30 PM PT / 6:30 PM ET on @meidastouch.com. Link to show: www.youtube.com/live/hEi77Ib...

With our big election win last week, and Trump's clear political and physical decline, Dems should be more ambitious now, and fight even harder, for the country and the American people. Voters saw us fighting for them & we were rewarded across the country 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/trumps-gov...

Right-wing social media: 1. Grifters launch crazed conspiracy. Conspiracy spread by usual suspects. 2. Claim media is ignoring it to “cover it up.” 3. Conspiracy proven false. The arrests and investigations promised by grifters never happen. 4. Launch new crazed conspiracy.

*puts on a burqa* There. Now I’m complete.

Seriously? He has no idea how insurance works or how to govern. I’ll never get over 77 million people thinking a man this incompetent belongs anywhere near the Oval Office.
