Unlawfully censoring “the soldiers’ paper” is an insult to the members of the armed forces who dedicated their lives to protecting our constitutional principles – including freedom of speech. That’s why we’re suing to protect Stars and Stripes in court.

If your values are that old people shouldn't serve in office but that younger people with Nazi tattoos should, which is basically Amanda Litman's position, your values in life are massively screwed up.

I don't ever wanna hear again from posers pretending to be progressives that identity politics is a waste of time. You hear me? Never. Again. SKKKOTUS is telling us to our faces that they fully intend to back white supremacy 100 percent. You can fight and win that fight, or you can lose it.

The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee advanced a proposed constitutional amendment that would permanently limit the number of justices on the Supreme Court ​to nine, citing the potential for Democrats to "pack the court" if they regain control ‌of Congress. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

A reminder that all it takes to overturn a Constitutional amendment is 5 justices on SCOTUS

Met a young person who can't find a job bc of AI. His elderly mom is sick and needs home care. He drives Uber to pay rent, but is barely getting by. I told him the White House pool is going to be longer than US skyscrapers and he burst out crying. "Thank you sir," he said, "I needed that."

HOUSE PASSES RESOLUTION TO END IRAN WAR

Sotomayor, joined by Kagan and Jackson, issues a 17-page dissent to the 4-page order: "[J]ust as Alabama doubled down on racial discrimination, the Court today doubles down on chaos."

MAGA figures fully expect Pulte to be turned loose on the left. trib.al/uiilVsY

they are going to try to run the charlie kirk playbook on steroids and it is going to fail hilariously because you cannot simply fire more than half the country even if they take a week off work to go on a celebratory bender

Bari Weiss in 2018:

Nellie Bowles, the wife of Bari Weiss, is in the Epstein files enthusiastically setting up a meeting with him in 2018. She was a NYT reporter at the time. (www.justice.gov/epstein/file...)

Here's an interesting stat from the decision (older, but the latest data they had): "Including inaccuracies, legal-specific generative AI tools from Westlaw and Lexis hallucinated 17% and 33% of answers, respectively, to a representative set of queries run in 2024."

Sanctions: (1) $2,500 fine for each attorney. (2) Suspension from practice for six months. (3) Disclose to clients, opposing counsel, judges in every pending case. (4) GenAI disclosure in all filings for two years. (5) Bar referral.

Oh boy. 9th Cir. sanctions two attorneys for briefs containing multiple nonexistent cases, misattributed quotations, and gross misrepresentations of real cases as a result of undisclosed AI usage who then doubled down and lied when caught. Sanctions in next. cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/op...

This is dumb, always-looking-for-the-conflict, analysis. Dems electing Dems suitable to their constituencies is not a party divided, it's a party that knows how to...and wants to...win.

President Trump’s EO makes it easier for political appointees to remove experienced public servants. This isn’t just harmful to federal workers — it’s harmful to the people across the country who rely on essential government services.

Does the old geezer know that he first started serving as President 9 years ago, and Kaitlan Collins has been covering the Presidency ever since then, meanwhile while she is definitely beautiful, she's old enough to know she doesn't have to smile?

The reflecting pool is at most 30" deep, making it shorter than your average kitchen counter.

There are 14 states that could be affected, with officials telling NBC News they will launch voter education programs, consider sending out ballots early and encourage people to use dropboxes if the Supreme Court bars the counting of late-arriving ballots.

NEW: Election officials are bracing for an upcoming Supreme Court ruling that could bar states from counting ballots received after Election Day. An NBC News analysis shows that hundreds of thousands of such ballots were counted in 2024. Officials say they are already making contingency plans:

Here’s the exchange where Mullin says he’d be happy to remove Mr Abrego Garcia to Costa Rica if that’s where he wants to go. I don’t think Marquane knows DoJ has been fighting tooth and nail to cruelly remove him to Liberia despite Mr Abrego agreeing to go to Costa Rica for months.

DHS's Operation Metro Surge hurt Minnesota's leisure and hospitality industry in Jan-Mar 2026, destroying: - 4,600 jobs, - 3.8 million work hours, - $71 million in wages. New analysis by me & @aaronrosenthal.bsky.social @northstarpolicy.org northstarpolicy.org/leisure-and-...

OPINION: "Pope Leo XIV has signaled that he wants the church to respond to artificial intelligence much as a predecessor, Pope Leo XIII, responded to upheavals during the Industrial Revolution over a century ago," Nathan Schneider writes.

Yeah, this whole "Trump can make himself immune from future tax audits" thing can be undone in a heartbeat by a future incoming administration: "On reflection, we opted to follow the law. This office will audit the whole 47 administration, starting at the top."

"Maybe we need a National Lip Service to Military Appreciation Day, recognizing politicians and their supporters who only seem to care about our military when their service can be cynically exploited as a cudgel against people they hate."

“I’m Kid Rock.” “I’m Naomi Wolf.” “I’m Kanye West.” “I’m Matt Taibbi.” “I’m Catturd. Those stories, plus Rob Schneider, tonight on 60 Minutes.”

Today, you might see a TV ad starring something that... kind of looks like me. My opponent's super PAC is using an AI deepfake of me to mislead voters. They can't win with the truth - so they're resorting to lies. It's disgusting. Minnesotans deserve better.

Spencer Pratt is currently 2nd of 14 in the running to become mayor of L.A. Now one of the Jersey Shore kids is thinking of running for governor. And what have we learned from electing reality TV hosts? Nothing.

this is what journalists do.

This is an interesting idea from Jamie Raskin. He tells me that a Dem House will strengthen/expand the law barring presidential interference in audits to "include any presidential effort to target or immunize any citizen from federal criminal, civil, or administrative investigation of any kind":

In case you were wondering how the supposed end of the “anti-weaponization fund” is going over with the J6ers:

CORTEZ MASTO: Do you intend to give the 400,000 taxpayers who also had their information leaked the same immunity as President Trump and his family received? BESSENT: I'm unable to provide any additional information CORTEZ MASTO: It's very clear you're dodging this. It's just outrageous.

In a statement to @benmullin.bsky.social, Scott Pelley disputes what Bari Weiss said in this morning's editorial meeting, claiming he was never offered "a way back" as she claimed. "These executives cannot gain the trust of the staff with lies. This is antithetical to everything we stand for..."

Absolutely. As I've said before, FDR's court-packing plan failed because most Americans didn't recognize the conservative majority there was acting in a partisan fashion. But the Roberts Six are deeply corrupt, nakedly partisan, and barely bothering to hide their contempt for precedent. Let's go.

We all need signs and symbols to cheer us up. Mine today is that this video, walking people through the Powell Memo that designed the modern right-wing brand warfare- what I call it- appears to be massive on TikTok.

Rubio: I have never seen Trump fall asleep. Lieu: I’m going to show you a video that shows you just lied to congress. Here is a video of him asleep while you are talking.

Right. The unhinged depiction of Talarico as trans is supposed to look like a show of strength -- "watch us Real Men dominate the little weakling" -- but it's functionally an admission that the demographics Talarico needs to win are very much in play because Paxton is so singularly repugnant.

From the start of Graham’s campaign until January when Calvello took the spox gig. It was obscured by a Wyoming LLC. The consulting ended 4 days before his start so he didn’t have to declare a conflict. The LLC received a notice about being tax delinquent last month. nypost.com/2026/06/03/u...

Platner-stans, don't even bother to defend this. It's just more proof that he is unfit to serve in the Senate.

Forgive me for being tedious, but "hostile work environment" has a particular meaning in anti-discrimination law. It does not mean, as an idiot snowflake like Bari Weiss would have it, that someone questioned the boss' poor leadership and she felt bad about it.

This one is a bit more personal. I’m letting you into an internal battle, understanding Jan 6 and the delay of justice. It’s just a delay… open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Trump suggests January 6 was an inside job: "The FBI said, 'Go in, Go in!'" (Trump in fact was president during January 6 and he hand-picked the leader of the FBI.)

"A Project 2029 that has nothing to say about either the Senate filibuster, or an ideologically captured Supreme Court, or extreme partisan gerrymandering — among other concerns — is not a Project 2029 worth the time or effort." Amen. Democrats have to address the fundamental flaws in our system.

BESSENT: I'm unable to discuss this because of ongoing litigation WHITEHOUSE: Was there any consideration to the govt in return for the benefits of no audit and no investigation? BESSENT: Again, I'm unable to comment WHITEHOUSE: 🤷 Mr Chairman, this makes no sense at all

Justice Sonia Sotomayor blasted the court’s conservative majority for a ruling that “debases the democratic process” by allowing Alabama to use a congressional map that the justices had previously found intentionally discriminated against Black voters. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

BESSENT: I believe the president's remarks were taken out of context HASSAN: No. He said, 'I don't think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think about anybody.' That's a direct quote BESSENT: Groceries are going down HASSAN: When was the last time you were in a grocery store?

Scott Pelley was ousted from CBS News in the exact manner Bari Weiss *thinks* she was ousted from NYT

"This move is a sign that Trump recognizes his presidency is in shambles, and is redoubling his effort to steal the midterms." As @brianbeutler.bsky.social says, Bill Pulte pick is act of desperation/failure. @leahlitman.bsky.social and I discuss this on the pod www.offmessage.net/p/impeach-bi...

Enrique Tarrio already gave the game away. He said the feds told him to sit tight for two weeks while they figured out how to funnel money to the J6ers through individual lawsuits. But that has the same legal defect as the settlement.
