I don't think there's any question that, once we get it out of Trump's clutches, the DOJ is going to need a major overhaul [insert your favorite vulgar metaphors here] but I'm beginning to think we also need to take a hard look at the grand jury system

Serious question: If Mitch McConnell is brain dead, then who has power of attorney to resign for him? The Chinese Ministry of State Security? Consider this a reminder to all my boomer peers to prepare or review their Advance Medical Directives

We should add more Justices to the Supreme Court but we have to wait until January '28 or else Trump gets to pick them 1/2

BREAKING: The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the Protect IL Communities Act. Illinois will continue banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines capable of inflicting mass casualties. A victory in the fight to end gun violence that helps keep our communities safe.

So, a Writ of Habeas Tortoise?

NEWS: Rep. Andrew Clyde owns a gun store. He sits on the committee that funds the ATF, and he's spent years trying to gut its budget. A gun sold by his store just turned up in a federal trafficking case.

BREAKING: Molly Crane Newman reports that Judge Kaplan has ORDERED the release of the $5m plus interest to E Jean Carroll.

Trump's been trying to delay release of E. Jean Carroll's $5.7 M in escrow saying he was going to seek reconsideration in the Supreme Court but now the S.Ct. docket says his petition for rehearing was "not accepted for filing" oh would I like to know why www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docke...

The ACLU is making our largest investment ever, focusing on underfunded down ballot races and ballot measures that will create a firewall for our rights. This election, we're fighting where it counts. Join us.

Pay attention meth heads this is a master class.

People are claiming that Mitch McConnell being braindead disqualifies him from being a member of Congress. Honesty, after watching Congress for decades, I assumed that was a *qualification* for being in Congress.

Cyd Charisse & Fred Astaire in The Band Wagon (1953)

truth nuclear bomb

People say Trump will be remembered for destroying the Republican Party. Seems unfair to define a man by his lone success.

Democrats are communists in the same sense that Donald Trump is a Christian: They are not.

And on that note….. #BookSky

"what is a woman" bro shut the fuck up smarter people than you won't even agree on "what is a chair"

If it happens tomorrow, then I will go to church, grandma

3 presidents have died on the 4th of july i like those odds

Wait hold up if Mitch McConnell is dead don’t y’all have a Dem governor over there

Brilliant. How real trolling is done.

There is no strict Constitutional prohibition against Supreme Court Justices deciding to ignore the Constitution, so it’s hard to see what liberals are so upset about. by Jonathan Turley

By using plain language to say things that are obviously true, Jon Ossoff has revolutionized Democratic politics.

to mark the 250th i wrote about the ways that black americans did vital work to invest the declaration of independence with the universalism and egalitarianism that we now see as its core promise. (gift link)

Here comes the Sun

The two-door pickup America really wants

GET IT

If there was any doubt...but today proves the entirety of the Republican establishment is now white supremacist. No daylight between them and the worst hatemongers and bigots. Same talking points, same loathing of immigrants, same neo-Nazi conspiracies.

Everyone should be extremely concerned that birthright citizenship was 5-4 and not unanimous.

The Stupid Useless Bullshit Caucus is off and running What they need is a Zionist former prosecutor with negative political credibility to spearhead this

I am posting his name and image. Identity of ICE terrorists are not protected by the constitution.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just ruled that the Fourth Amendment applies to police use of overbroad "geofence warrants" to search for and locate unknown numbers of people in a large geographical area. This win reinforces that we don't lose our right to privacy simply because we use a cell phone.

Chief Justice Roberts just announced from the bench that *tomorrow* (Tuesday) will be the last day for opinion hand-downs this term. So we'll get birthright citizenship, the two transgender discrimination cases, and the big campaign finance case in some order at 10 ET tomorrow.

Not the most important ruling of the past few days, but among the most satisfying

Yes, Congress should be able to do these things. A court this contemptuous of Congress deserves to be packed by Congress, not only to correct these disastrous precedents but also because Congress needs to show both Article II and Article III who’s boss.

I guess Justice Barrett wants to keep her job after the midterms, when we put the old guys on "Senior Status"

#BREAKING: #SCOTUS *denies* certiorari in one of the two E. Jean Carroll cases ("Carroll II," to the folks who follow closely). That presumably clears the way for Carroll to collect the $5 million judgment (the $83.3 million judgment in Carroll I remains under appeal):

evidently reporters have audio tapes (rumor has it Situation Room) those of us old enough to remember the Watergate Tapes: VANCE: [expletive deleted] Epstein Files! WILES: [expletive deleted] PATEL: [expletive deleted] BONDI: [expletive deleted]

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A DOMESTICATED CAT

The Great MAGA "State Fair" a dud? Is it the food? 👉the only "on a stick" snack appears to be chicken 👉nothing a New Mexican would consider "State Fair" food (Navajo Fry Bread, Green Chile Cheeseburgers, Jackalope On A Stick)

If they’re gonna sentence you like terrorists for protesting, why stop at protesting?

BREAKING: A federal judge declared unconstitutional key parts of President Trump's executive order that illegally attempted to restrict mail-in voting. The Constitution is clear: The president doesn't have the power to change election law.

Yes, that is indeed a thing that happened. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8hy...
