Today, the Supreme Court hears argument in a case where they're probably to grant Trump and every future president the authority to run formerly independent federal agencies like their own personal fiefdoms. #CourtReformNow #SCOTUS. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/08/u...

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Really hope all the new law enforcement in DC will be able to find the Epstein Client List that was so badly stolen from AG Bondi’s desk weeks ago!!!!!

I agree with president Trump that DC is turning into a shithole. I mean, what kind of hellscape like Georgetown doesn't even have a Michelin starred restaurant. dc.eater.com/dc-restauran...

VERY TIMELY ARTICLE from my @americanprogress.bsky.social colleague @doo-dc.bsky.social. The FBI does not have any credible legal basis to try to arrest Texas lawmakers who broke quorum.

Super important article by my colleague @michaelsozan.bsky.social on how people power can push back against rising authoritarianism!

How's that #SCOTUS #Trump immunity decision going? About as well as you'd expect... www.americanprogress.org/article/trum...

Checking in from Asheville NC. Nothing to see here. @hollyanderson.bsky.social

Join CAP for a virtual event on Wednesday July 7 at 11:00 a.m. - Presidential Appeasement and the Supreme Court. Featuring @audrelawdamercy.bsky.social, @leahlitman.bsky.social, @anthonymkreis.bsky.social, and @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social www.americanprogress.org/events/presi...

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court placed new limits on the power of lower courts to issue nationwide injunctions. This ruling from the far-right Supreme Court rubber-stamps President Donald Trump’s efforts to undermine our nation’s rule of law. Read CAP's statement from @doo-dc.bsky.social:

ACB said that courts can't enter universal injunctions, even against patently unconstitutional government acts. Birthright Citizenship is walking to the guillotine. Will we see ICE enforcement in maternity wards now? www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Just so we're all on the same page, the end result of Trump Always Chickens Out (TACO) is apparently the US going to war with Iran. 🤷🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ www.npr.org/2025/06/17/n...

1/ John Roberts knows better but he doesn't seem to care. The six rightwing justices on SCOTUS just gave DOGE unencumbered access to the personal Social Security information of all Americans. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Rao just punched her ticket to a SCOTUS nomination.

If you know, you know.

“If you haven’t been poor, don’t legislate for the poor.” - Rep Lateefah Simon, CA-12

in addition to being brazenly unprincipled, this is evidence that the conservatives KNOW trump is a mad king, but still want to imbue him with royal authority — against the well-documented history and tradition of the united states — out of their blinkered devotion to a narrow ideological project

This appears to be the prevailing ethos of the Roberts Court.

SCOTUS just making things up to pave the way for elective autoritaianism. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Every time Joe Negus takes Jordan to the shed, an angel gets its wings.

The Constitution is intended to limit the powers of the presidency, not provide limitless authority. The U.S. Supreme Court must do its duty to contain the President's power grabs beyond what the Constitution allows, explains @doo-dc.bsky.social‬:

Thursday, SCOTUS will hear oral argument in a case challenging the nationwide injunctions that stopped President Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship from going into effect. The latest from @thedailyhayley.bsky.social and @doo-dc.bsky.social:

They deleted my X account for speaking out against the illegal firings and for telling the truth about what’s happening inside of government. If they can censor me, they can censor you too. Follow @RichTrumkaJr on X and @Trumkacpsc everywhere else.

I know Pope Leo XIV to be a kind, open, humble, modest, decisive, hard-working, straightforward, trustworthy, and down-to-earth man. A brilliant choice. May God bless him.

Absolutely unreal plot twist by the writers today — the new pope is a JD Vance critic, setting the stage for a redemption narrative after the previous pope died just hours following his meeting with Vance. They still have their fastball.
