Checking in from Roxborough Park, CO #NorthernLights

UPDATE: Dems lead every city council race in Aurora, Colorado - and could flip a 7-3 GOP majority into a 6-4 Dem edge - including what would be a shocking upset of MAGA media star Danielle Jurinsky, whose claims of a "complete gang takeover" led Trump to call Aurora "conquered." #copolitics

Canada running an ad during the World Series using Ronald Reagan speaking against tariffs. Nothing more American than that 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Just got my @denversummitfc.bsky.social season tickets. Let’s go!

Ralphie VII’s first run was a success. Let’s play football.

Gameday. ‘Sko Buffs youtu.be/qHArlfCDvsI?...

“…it was stunning to realize how closely many of the grievances our founders asserted toward King George III mirror the issues we are facing with the tyrannical despot currently occupying our White House.” www.americaamerica.news/p/independen...

Several items on Declaration of Independence list of grievances against George III also apply to Trump today, most notably on immigration, trade, and deportation without due process. Like King George, he is "unfit to be the ruler of a free people": reason.com/volokh/2025/...

I read this every Fourth of July because it’s important to remember that our country has always failed to live up to its founding principles. But, at the same time, those principles are good and worth fighting for. The ending seems especially meaningful this year: www.blackpast.org/african-amer...

I assume at some point the band played hail to the chief and then that cannon was pointed at us.

This weekend made me a tennis fan #rolandgarros

There shouldn’t be a tiebreak game on the fifth set, let’s see these guys battle it out for 8 hours

This tennis match is insane

At least he understands the opinion this time www.thedailybeast.com/raging-trump...

they are currently ignoring a supreme court decision and no one cares or is doing a single thing about it, its just so goddam infuriating

yes, how dare a retailer break out taxes from other expenses on the receipt. this sort of thing has never before been seen in America.

okay sure so it worked in Denver and in Austin and it worked for downtown Oakland and for Sacramento and yes, it’s worked for decades in Tokyo but how can we be *sure* that building a lot more homes will make California a more affordable place to live??

Pretty sure that late night SCOTUS order was necessary.

I am often asked by young lawyers for career advice, and the one thing I always tell them is that no case, client, or job is worth harming your reputation. It sounds trite, but it really does take a lifetime to build up your reputation, and only seconds to lose (or severely damage) it.

At this point, a member of the House could lightly edit the Declaration of Independence and offer it as an impeachment resolution.

This is some sick shit

Don’t let up, we’re making (unfortunately very slow) progress.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

“We have nothing to lose but our chains” says well-known leftist David Brooks.

This is indeed incredible. “Conservative judge” doesn’t quite cut it as a description of Wilkinson. He is one of the most deferential-to-government-power judges in the country. When he writes like Justice Sotomayor it’s signs-and-wonders level.

Whew, this conclusion from the Fourth Circuit: "We yet cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American ethos."

Can I move to have @evanbernick.bsky.social argue as amicus?

“We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another…” 1/2

“He has obstructed the Administration of Justice *** He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution *** For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences[.]”

“One of the top MS-13 members”? This woman is an officer of the court and the Attorney General of the United States. She knows that she wields immense power and responsibility. Yet here she is on national TV, making baseless claims about a guy her boss wrongly sent to a gulag in El Salvador.

Anybody advocating that the government comply with a unanimous Supreme Court order can be viewed as aiding and abetting a terrorist.

Vance is like "We kidnapped the wrong dude and sent him to a foreign gulag, and are refusing to comply with a 9-0 SCOTUS ruling to fix it. What is everyone so upset about?"

So they aren’t even going to try to massage the meaning of “facilitate” and pretend they are complying with SCOTUS’s order.

Trump Admin. failure to properly follow court orders in Abrego Garcia case is grave threat to civil liberties of US citizens, as well as immigrants. We must stop this slippery slope before go further down it: reason.com/volokh/2025/...

An American citizen has had her husband “disappeared” by the U.S. government. This is unacceptable.

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

“He has obstructed the Administration of Justice *** He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution *** For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences[.]”

I am becoming more and more embarrassed and ashamed to be an American.

Words fail. This is not my America.

it’s hard to understand why the united states and el salvador would not want to free a us resident unjustly detained and deported. no due process before, no redress after. the chilling effect on those considering travel/education/work in the united states will be substantial.

It seems like Roberts was trying to avert a Rubicon moment by delivering the only legally possible conclusion in the Abrego Garcia case in a sort of soft-pedaled way that allowed Trump to save face & claim a partial win while “graciously” complying. That has obviously backfired.

The Trump admin has just detained Mohsen Mahdawi, who: –has green card –was Columbia Buddhist club president –saw his best friend shot & killed by Israeli soldier –said "we are against antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

It’s a lot harder to die from infectious diseases in modern times BECAUSE OF VACCINES AND OTHER PHARMACEUTICALS!

“For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences”

IMPORTANT: Sotomayor, in the dissent, emphasizes that all 9 justices believe that the Trump administration cannot do what it wants to do: shove people onto a plane with NO due process. They openly told the DC Circuit they were going to do that if they won. On that issue, they lost.
