If I know anything about John Roberts he's gutting the VRA on Tuesday

BREAKING: Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been convicted of insurrection for declaring martial law in December 2024, and has been sentenced to life in prison.

Lmao it’s so easy to tell these clowns have no idea what life is like for normal people when they talk about needing an ID to rent library books and buy groceries.

Really appreciate @stevevladeck.bsky.social for writing this because one of the biggest failures of the mainstream press has been writing headlines and articles about Trump's increasingly deranged declarations around elections as if he has This One Weird Trick to completely upend the Constitution.

I guess having the alcoholic Fox News lady lead your attempts at political persecution wasn’t a good idea.

Amy Klobuchar running for Governor of Minnesota

Watching commentators still refusing to see the white nationalism of this administration and arguingTrump is targeting Atlanta, Philadelphia and Detroit because they are blue cities is just, it’s got to be intentional at this point. There are a ton of blue cities. These are majority Black cities.

INBOX: Washington Post Ukraine Correspondent Lizzie Johnson announces that she has been laid off in the middle of a below-freezing war zone without power, heat, or running water.

This part of our response essay is where I'm at. Boiling down all of politics to electoralism has been absolutely terrible for resisting rising authoritarianism. www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...

As someone who has the brain disease of needing to constantly track election results throughout the country, @boltsmag.org is a MUST follow. Great article about what's coming up this month.

It goes without saying that Bovino's ouster and the potential firing of Noem should have no bearing on whether Senate Democrats continue not support additional funding of DHS. ICE's mission of lawlessly terrorizing communities will not stop regardless of who is in charge. Don't take the bait.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Any Democrat running in 2026 that does not support the abolition of ICE should not be supported. I don't give a fuck what your state/district looks like, what is happening right now is an existential threat to our liberties. If you can't bring yourself to stand up for them then you're useless to us.

Colts are ass.

I would love to think that the President of the United States calling for the execution of Democrat lawmakers and reposting an account with an Iron Cross as its avatar would be something the corporate press would take seriously and cover but they value their access over everything. Total failures.

I mean it's great that the bill was passed but we already know the DOJ will selectively withhold anything bad for Trump, the press will immediately declare there's nothing to it, and the public will generally forget about it in a month. I really don't get why people think this will be any different.

I had to read this twice to believe it...Meloni, who ran for office on an anti-immigration platform, has now announced plans to let in hundreds of thousands of immigrants, in order to deal with the Italian labor shortage www.reuters.com/world/italy-...

The President calling for the deportation of US citizens, the Myles Turner trade, and now this.

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

If a sitting president can openly muse about arresting and disappearing someone who is likely to become mayor of the country's largest city, while also getting the funding for a massive secret police, it'd be hard to find sufficient evidence to qualify that country as a democracy.

UH HELLO?! ANY ELECTED DEMOCRAT?!?!

RIP Pacers title window, Herb Simon you cheap POS

It's happening. As some of us predicted. Dark times:

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens. Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important". Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary. substack.com/redirect/169...

All the reactionary centrists attacking Mamdami every day will deny -- to us, even to themselves I think -- that they play a key role in enabling this kind of shit. But that is literally their function in the current US political structure.

Whining about doing your job at 1pm on a Monday is just pathetic. Resign already.

Hey can we not do the thing where we all block someone who is clearly trolling for engagement just to screenshot their bait and post it anyway?

Defunding cancer research and using that money to increase ICE's budget to that of a small nation's army has nothing to do with fiscal responsibility, it's a deliberate choice of what this administration and GOP prioritize.

ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas. So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget? The answer is: you.

Really funny how establishment Democrats for the past few months have been lecturing the base about how now is not the time to try and replace people in its ranks because we have to focus all our energy on Trump…and then Mamdani got elected and now they’re doing everything they can to take him down.

Republicans are getting what they paid for: a court willing to cede its power to an executive but only if a Republican is in power. But Democrats will retake power, and John Roberts is all but guaranteeing that Trump’s Supreme Court will barely outlast the Trump administration.

BREAKING: We're filing a new class-action lawsuit to challenge President Trump's lawsuit restricting birthright citizenship. The 14th Amendment is clear: Every child born on U.S. soil is a citizen, whether the president likes it or not.

BREAKING: if the Supreme Court wants a class action to hold Trump's birthright citizenship unconstitutional nationwide, we will give them one! We @democracydefendersaction.org just filed with our wonderful partners @aclu.org, NAACP LDF, LULAC & more assets.aclu.org/live/uploads...

The difference between this and Nazi propaganda against Jews is that this is AI-generated.

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

and vice versa, the republican court believes that anything a democratic president does is presumptively unconstitutional, even if it past precedent would say otherwise

there is no jurisprudence at work here. the republican court believes that anything a republican president is presumptively constitutional, even if it directly violates the unambiguous constitutional text and causes total chaos in law and policy.

I want to reiterate that countless conservative judges issued universal injunctions against the Biden administration, and the Supreme Court never halted the practice. Now, barely five months into Trump's second term, the court puts an end to these injunctions. A brazen double standard.

Striking: Trump's budget bill is now polling in 20s and 30s. "It’s astonishing how underwater it is," says @sarahposner.bsky.social. Rs haven't even "tried to hide" that it takes from poor to give to "megarich." On the pod, Sarah is great on Trump's big poll slide: newrepublic.com/article/1973...

Well in a normal country every elected Democrat in DC would have released a statement condemning the racist calls for Mamdani's deportation. No doubt in my mind that there are some elected Democrats who secretly hope that happens.

Damn man sounds bad probably shouldn't have purposely retired so a fascist lunatic could appoint your successor.

Youth pastor voice: You know who else took on a globally important leadership role at the age of 33?

These fucking dipshits lecture everyone constantly about “disrespecting the military” and here’s the blowhard Secretary of Defense shitting all over D-Day and the thousands of Americans who died just so he can verbally suck off the President on camera with this stupid statement. Pathetic worm.

I know this isn't breaking news but taking in the coverage of Zohran Mamdani over the last 24 hours and it's wild how frequently and casually the media describes him as extreme, far-left, etc. You NEVER hear Republicans described that way, no matter how insane and unpopular their positions are.

So what's the over-under on this admin fucking with Mamdani's citizenship and trying to deport him before election day?

Since May: Federal district courts have ruled against Trump admin 94% of the time. Supreme Court has sided with the Trump admin 94% of the time. A judiciary at war with itself.
