same number of people (1) federally indicted for the totally imaginary pool vandalism as have been indicted for participating in the jeffrey epstein pedophile ring.

Just shocking this was a 5-4 ruling. This Court is so so badly broken.

The correct statement for Dems to give is this: It is a relief that the Court reaffirmed the foundational principle that anyone born in America is unquestionably American. But the close split on this simple constitutional question reveals a body corrupted beyond repair by authoritarian bullying.

PLEASE STOP DESCRIBING BIRTHRIGHT AS 6-3, I AM GOING TO GO INSANE

Nina is working overtime to sanewash this deranged Court—repeatedly claiming the vote was 6-3 when it was very clearly 5-4 on the important Q—as penance for blowing up Sam’s spot. @ninatotenberg.bsky.social @npr.org

Of course The Constitution does not protect trans students wanting to play sports. But it *does* protect billionaires wanting to unduly influence elections. Very important to preserve the market for buying and selling politicians...

It's easy to overlook how absolutely batshit insane it is that the *United States Dept. of Justice* is wasting time (and our money) on this.

elderly council of wizards mandates child gential inspections.

The three branches of the United States government, as delineated in the Constitution, are the God Emperor, The High Council of the Six Ayatollahs, and the Federal Reserve

A very rare bit of good news from this unhinged Court.

trump is stealing a golf course used by ordinary washingtonians and giving it to his rich friends

Rare miss from @gruber.foo here…this is a classic is-ought fallacy—Sanders said the tariffs WILL raise prices, not that they SHOULD raise prices or that corporations are justified in doing so. daringfireball.net/2026/06/bern...

For the first time in three years, inflation rose to 4%. What is Donald Trump focused on? His reflecting pool, his ballroom, and his arch. Remember, he doesn’t care about your financial situation.

theyre not “predictors” theyre gamblers, hes trying to get 18-34 year olds addicted to gambling

Imagine asking someone unfamiliar with the cases to read this side-by-side with Masterpiece Cakeshop & predict in which case the statements by official decisionmakers were sufficient to make the govt action invalid because of animus.

The Supreme Court has upheld the US Administration's termination of Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans+Haitians—> www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p... 13 colleagues and I estimated the economic cost: $20bn/year lost to the US economy, and 360,000 US jobs: www.aclunorcal.org/sites/defaul...

The way to ensure ongoing TPS protections for persons with TPS status was to elect Kamala Harris.

With seven decisions with the *same* 6-3 lineup over the last three days, I really can't wait for all of the hot takes from the folks who keep insisting that #SCOTUS *isn't* defined by its ideological division.

Nothing against Taylor Swift generally, but what kind of lunatic wants to get married at fucking MSG? 🤨🤢

good to see this. Musk is clearly getting visibly angry at the rising awareness of how many hundreds of thousands of people his DOGE wilding spree has already killed, millions more if this stays in place into the future. Everyone can participate in spreading the word about all the blood on his hands

Pretty clear the charge that Musk has killed millions of children bothers him. I find this surprising and we should exploit it. The world deserves to know that he’s killed millions of children and he deserves to suffer for the rest of his disgusting life.

Wild that @nytimes.com is parroting Fuckface's revisionist history—the Obama admin literally razed the old Reflecting Pool and built the current Pool from the bedrock up, they didn't "spen[d] more than $35 million trying to solve problems" with the Pool. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/22/u...

I mean I always knew that right-wingers were the most hypocritical, cynical sacks of shit imaginable, but it’s truly wild to see them do *exactly* what they've been pretending the left was doing.

I know nothing is a scandal for more than a day anymore, but it seems like it ought to be a huge story that a federal judge found “overwhelming” evidence that DOJ targeted a sitting governor via a bogus pretextual investigation for the purpose of political retaliation.

drain the swamp!

Mitch McConnell will receive a level of medical care he has spent his entire career preventing other Americans from having

the real political correctness is that you can’t go on the news and say that this is hick shit

That’s the perfect name for this time of oligarchs: “the Re-Gilded Age.”

No one would buy this, they don’t even have a flared base.

Happy Pride to this Caravaggio self-portrait that made one man so gay he had to go to the hospital

Again, if you’re a large account and you continue to use X, you are helping to keep a neo-Nazi site culturally relevant and economically viable. Stop it.

There is nothing about capitalism that says we cede moral agency. We are making a choice when we do business with Elon Musk: when we buy his products, let him into our government to use our tax dollars, post on his platform. We enable him.

In inflation-adjusted terms, workers have now seen *zero* wage gains since Trump returned to office -- the surge in prices over the past few months has wiped out all of the real wage gains made in the first year of Trump's second term.

. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social shows Rachel how literally transparent the ballot processing is in LA County.

In the last 18 months, Congress has given DHS $240 billion — a quarter of a trillion.

“Perps name is Donny T, goes by John Barron on the dark web. Real sex pervert, walks in on underage girls, sticks his hands in privates, total groper. My source says he hangs out at MSG.”

Here’s a video of what the booing actually sounded like at Madison Square garden. #NBAfinals #Knicks

For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law

Fundamentally, I still can't get over the concept of Trump calling a bunch of Israeli news organizations and telling them not to retaliate against Iran. He knows he's the President right? He has options outside of calling into shows to complain to various journalists.

The criticism of Trump, Kennedy, and Bhattacharya that was so subversive that the ADA had to eject the Editor-in-Chief of their flagship journal from their annual meeting for sharing it? Prior today it had fewer than 1000 views. Do your thing.

Meanwhile Susan Collins continues to vote to fund President Stephen Miller’s brutal authoritarian regime. #mepolitics #mesenate

NEWS: A @lawfaremedia.org report finds that *97* Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the attack were arrested, charged, or convicted of subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported. Incredible work by @katherinepomps.bsky.social www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

Call your reps -- blue, red, purple, it doesn't matter -- about the proposed OMB science funding rule. The house can stop this. Let them know it matters for your district.

This is truly one of the worst things the court has done — both in terms of legitimacy and in terms of the law — since I have been covering the court.

Trump is putting his personal henchman in charge of national intelligence. This isn't about keeping Americans safe — it's about weaponizing intelligence against Trump's enemies. No Democrat should vote to extend FISA 702 without a real, iron-clad warrant requirement.

“If the person is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.” Justice Brett Kavanaugh www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Can they both just fucking drop dead already?

So the end result of Trump’s war-on-a-whim is the complete takeover of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran, and the complete takeover of Iran by the IRGC. Or in other words the most militant hardline anti-American radicals now control one of the most strategically vital locations on planet Earth

Love openly. Live authentically. Happy Pride!
