💯😠✊ My only disagreement is that the 6 conservatives on The Court are lacking more than "the range" to see things fairly and consistently. They lack the will and desire to do so, beginning with the Chief Justice. They are dedicated to a retrograde agenda. Thank you, @sifill.bsky.social

"a real testament to stefanik’s total lack of dignity that she is doing this AFTER trump totally threw her under the bus, backed up, and ran her over just to be sure" per @jamellebouie.net with appreciation... ... and thank you, @jaketapper.bsky.social

💯😠✊... 🤔 ... but they might be outnumbered by a revival of antipapist sentiments along with a sadly latent antisemitism among Protestants as triggered by Hesbeth's references to "Pharisee Press". When will FOX produce a limited series of The Passion play? Thank you, @iammrbeat.bsky.social

💯😠✊ Sounds like an inverted version of "Seven Days in May"... ... but this is real (and in the WSJ!) h/t @meidastouch.com via @djrothkopf.bsky.social

💯😠✊ It is easy to blame many others for their roles in nightmare, but Roberts had the greatest opportunity to arbitrate fairly and decisively if still from within his proportedly conservative perspective. Instead he has consistently taken the role of a procedural and constitutional hypocrite.

💯😠✊ This reminds one of a bestseller from the 80's entitled "The Greatest Salesman in the World" that was ostensibly about Jesus. As a modern American Jew, I feel incompetent to describe Trump in these terms... ... but Anti-Christ sure seems appropriate. Thank you, @iammrbeat.bsky.social 1/3

a peek behind the paywall... Eight "Causes": 1) Newt Gingrich plus "40", "41", Jim Wright, Rehnquist 2) Roger Ailes (and Murdoch?) 3) CNN & MSNBC 4)Tim Berners-Lee (et al.) 5) Paulson, Geithner, Summers 6) "The Young Guns": Cantor, Ryan, McCarthy 7) Justices Kennedy and Roberts, McConnell 8) Obama

💯😠✊ Naming the most responsible IS worthwhile. These are the public figures who made Trump possible. It seems harsh to "blame" Sir Tim alone for the impact of the Internet in 2016. Steve Case and Mark Zuckerberg (and perhaps Clinton/Gore) belong there, too. Thank you, @normornstein.bsky.social

🤔 Three safe predictions: a) If the financial markets respond negatively in the subsequent months, Trump and his cronies will blame this... b) If the financial markets respond positively, Trump and the WH will take credit... c) Trump-friendly corporate applicants get their $$ first... 💯😠✊

🙃 The U.S. government is set to launch an #online #portal next week that lets businesses request #refunds for #tariffs deemed illegal by the Supreme Court:

💯😠👍 ... and now there's this in Liberation today: "Giorgi Meloi breaks up with Donald Trump, a partner become toxic" For that matter, her eyes in October 2025 said it all... ... and there's VP JDV's waivering.criticisms. It would be funny if not so costly. Thank you, @jfallows.bsky.social

💯😠✊ ”Federal law governs" is an essential reference... ... and Article 1 is before Article 2 for a reason. Thank you, Walter Olson @cato.org

💯🤔... Thank you, @kabedihaione.bsky.social h/t @avastmachine.bsky.social attn: @jfallows.bsky.social (haven't read the article yet to see if this angle is presented explicitly...) www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

💯😠✊ Exactly what I was thinking as a theologically disengaged Jewish-American... Thank you, @dieworkwear.bsky.social

"Trump, himself, posted this shit. He thinks he’s God." per @rocketgurl.bsky.social w/ h/t per me: Does anyone else think the dude looks like Jeffrey Epstein? h/t @onestpress.onestnetwork.com

A powerful indictment that draws clear lines separating cause, effect, and the aftermaths of each. 💯😠✊ Thank you, @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social h/t marklemley.bsky.social via @jrakove.bsky.social

This is frankly one of the most dispiriting reaction statements I have seen in a long time. I do not disagree with the author for his posture or his explanation of it... ... unless, of course, Ben Sasse is able to muster some dialectic humility and open-minded retrospection. 1/2

💯🤔👌... ... and while informative in a generally chronological sense, one is tempted to see Misters Beat and Beast in the same sense as çlassic amateur grappling is to the WWE. For that matter, is it possible Mr. Beast was inspired by his near-namesake beyond surfing on the transliteration?

💯😠✊... ... but please do not forget that The GOP members, and especially their leadership, are the ones who need to be pressured the most. Thank you, @nuclearanthro.bsky.social

💯😠✊ Thank you, @repmcgovern.bsky.social and @normornstein.bsky.social

💯😠✊...and yes, 🇺🇸! This is the only patriotic stance. *All* members of Congress and candidates in the November election should endorse it. And it is not antisemitic nor excusing the Iranian regime to criticize the Israeli government and antagonists in the region for having manipulated this crisis.

substack.com/@gregtsargen... 💯😠✊ ... and yes, 🇺🇸, because it is 100%.patriotic to criticize and oppose what Trump and Hesbeth and others are doing! ... and it IS NOT antisemitic to blame Netanyahu and the current Israeli government for their role.

💯😠✊ Thank you, @seancasten.bsky.social / @casten.house.gov

💯😠✊ Not exactly "news”. We are being lied to. Thank you, @newseye.bsky.social

💯😠✊🇺🇸 This was true before Trump and will be true after he is gone and no matter who is POTUS... And it does not let the complacent members of Congress or in the Pentagon off the hook. Thank you, @fpwellman.bsky.social

Au nom de Dieu! Au nom de Dieu? 😠✊

substack.com/@kevinrkosar... Hard to understand that spending that much on producing a one minute ad is even possible, not to mention justifiable... Thank you, @charliehunterart.bsky.social and h/t @kevinrkosar.bsky.social

So... Now Trump's DOJ is going to claim the Presidential Records Act is unconstitutional... He seems to feel the same about any obligation to respect treaties ratified by Congress and his predecessors. Perhaps they will soon say the same about SCOTUS decisions with which Trump disagrees? 😠✊

😂💯 ... though it's unclear that it is an accident when he says things like this in public. Thank you, @markhamillofficial.bsky.social h/t @21stcsuffragettes.bsky.social 😠✊

💯😠✊ The GOP has been headed in this direction since the early 2000's if not sooner... since it turned down a fair budget deal because of the arbitrary Hastert "Rule" (not a real rule)... and when they would not negotiate reasonable gun safety laws after Sandy Hook and Las Vegas. The list is long.

substack.com/@borowitzrep... Great summation of our collective predicament in 2026... ... but Murdoch & Musk & SCOTUS et al are missing as the Wizard, the Wicked Witch and the flying monkeys. h/t @borowitzreport.bsky.social

💯😠✊ Thank you, @rieckhoff.bsky.social

This reminds one of the historical fact that the USA has NEVER had an actual "General Strike". It seems like @indivisible.org and others leading #NoKings are now considering this for May 1st. What would that look like? Just one day?? ... and what would it foretell for the 4th of July??? 💯😠✊

💯😠✊ There is a difference between "a Democrat as Stephen Miller" (or a "liberal" version of DJT) and a leadership that can coherently talk to all parts of the constitutionally-minded opposition. h/t @jfallows.bsky.social

💯😠✊ "Thankful for foreign governments telling us what our government is hiding." per @pgourevitch.bsky.social w/appreciation... Trump and his entourage will call this "fake news"... ... and while it's doubtful Pres. Z. can prove it with incontrovertible evidence, it is more plausible than not...

💯😠✊ "The news is broken." Thank you. @jimacosta.bsky.social See "Breaking the News" (1996) by @jfallows.bsky.social h/t @georgetakei.bsky.social w/appreciation

💯😠✊ "God probably not a big fan of Congressional insider traders of defense stocks either." per @sonofathomp.bsky.social & h/t h/t @richraho.bsky.social "Is 1:15" == www.bibleref.com/Isaiah/1/Isa... Tragicly ironic since the Netanyahu-led Israeli gov has impeded the worship of Palm Sunday.

💯😠✊🇺🇸 "One of @radiofreetom.bsky.social's very best articles. Too bad it wasn't taken to heart by American voters in 2024." per @nutrixopus.bsky.social w/appreciation for sharing... ... though one might add "most" before "American" Thank you, @radiofreetom.bsky.social et al.

💯😠✊ "Wow" per @mrjamesob.bsky.social (h/t) I am both dreading the arrival of July and hoping for a manifestation like this... #NoKings is great, but it's a growing nationwide choir preaching primarily to the #Resistance political leadership...

💯😠✊ "i said last year that these people were segregationists and that “merit” just meant “white and male” to these people" per @jamellebouie.net w/appreciation Aside: Gant does seem to be a devout Christian woman... 1/2 see www.designworldonline.com/a-leader-for...

💯😠✊... "Operation Keep Digging" per @internethippo.bsky.social (h/t)

💯😠✊ ”Makes my blood boil" per @dunemythang.bsky.social

💯😠✊...🤔 ... but in these, "Congress" should always be written as "the GOP in the House and Senate" (and that goes for the Watergate inestigations as well as for the Epstein files...).

💯😠✊... 🤔 ... and should we believe more b.s. from B.S. or straight talk from Stan McCrystal: "Everything after this will be harder." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/23/o... h/t @normornstein.bsky.social attn: @jfallows.bsky.social

💯😠 ✊ What have "they" got to lose? A serious question: can a preemptive pardon protect against criminal indictments via state laws and civil suits? The ultimate ”class action" seems increasingly plausible... Thank you, @chrismurphyct.bsky.social h/t @michaeljstern.bsky.social

💯🧐...😓...😠✊ The "newspaper publisher" is the "NY Times"... Does @archive.org pay for access? While the explanation is to avoid LLMs from scraping their content without paying for it, is it not possible for the Internet Archive to have a log of how its content is accessed?

www.patreon.com/posts/interv... Recommending this 30 min discussion between a well known US history YouTuber and the ranking member of House Armed Services, mainly about Trump-v-Iran plus a bit about "uncapping" the number of reps in the House... I concur with them but for a few specifics: 1/n

This smarmy creature Bessent says that it's fine for Trump to celebrate Robert Mueller's death. An opposing view: fallows.substack.com/p/one-man-a-...

💯😠✊ So Trump felt the need to say something that everyone knew he was thinking and that in its despicable directness goes well beyond his dismissal of John McCain's courage as a POW or his avoidance of disabled veterans... Thank you, @jfallows.bsky.social and others highlighting this latest low...
