In some case where Trump's venom is relevant, Roberts will say: "The issue is not whether to denounce Trump's statements. It is instead the significance of those statements in reviewing a Presidential directive, neutral on its face, addressing a matter within the core of executive responsibility."

This is the only explanation I can come up with for their repeated assertion that the US military went "woke" starting right after World War II.

Democratic Senators and Congresspeople need to start addressing these accusations every day in press conferences & explain that they are both egregious lies & a prelude to even worsre state violence than that happening in Chicago. Dem voters want to see leadership! Talk about more than insurance.

For starts.

It’s essential that you find common ground with Trump supporters. For instance, you know that you have many flaws, and they believe you are less than human. Work with that. —Ezra Klein, tomorrow in the New York Times

Any encounter with scholarship about racial violence in the Jim Crow South leads any thinking person to conclude that America has a long and extensive history of fascism. It’s just that people tend to refuse to acknowledge it as such when it’s targeting black people.

Reminds me very much of the pogroms organized by white conservatives in the early-mid 20th century, which were just as much opportunities to loot & plunder radicalized & esp Black communities as they were opportunities to wield repressive & exploitative violence.

Yeah, and the sociopaths are likely so proud of themselves. Wannabe Rambos doing the bidding of wee Stephen Miller. What disgusting excuses for human beings.

UC’s Academic Council calls on the Office of the President & the UC Board of Regents to unequivocally reject governmental demands that compromise institutional autonomy and #academicfreedom. This is the way. #DefendHigherEd

Democrats should run on one promise: release the Epstein files. They’d crush.

Wanna know whose shutdown this is? Pay attention to who’s enjoying it.

Reopening the government isn’t a Republican priority. Protecting Trump from the release of the Epstein files is.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

I hope 50 years from now some kid gets extra credit on a history test for correctly answering the super obscure 10-point question "who was the widely discredited law enforcement practice known as a 'Kavanaugh stop' named after and why"

The size of the divide between the average American liberal and the average American liberal pundit on one of the defining questions of foreign policy today really can't be overstated.

Priorities.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

I was waiting all day for @mluckovich.bsky.social 's take! Brilliant!

Every single DC journalist should be spending this afternoon/evening finding Speaker Johnson & John Thune & asking them why the impeachment/removal has not happened yet, & continuing to hammer them with the same question over & over & over & over again & not accepting the boilerplate non-answers.

if i were a would-be dictator whose only civilian check on power had been consumed by total-complete partisan loyalty, something i would definitely do is call an unprecedented in-person meeting of the only people who could stop me and then proceed to illustrate why they should stop me

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher. Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

Chef’s kiss.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

Sir that is no way to talk to the Supreme Court

Don't miss this piece by @joshtpm.bsky.social of Talking Points Memo. My favorite quote: "Over the last three or four years there’s been a growing number of people in that world who’ve been forced to reckon with the current [Court] majority’s corruption and the need for reform." 1/3

“We can’t help poor people because that will help black people” is an unusually honest expression of Republican policy goals

I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this

The amount of money national Dems are investing in podcasts rather than supporting county parties and candidates is starting to infuriate me. Trump didnt win because of Joe Rogan you dolts

The Corrupt Supreme Court Must Be Reformed: Dems Must Champion It talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-c...

A bunch of four-star generals and admirals being lectured on the "warrior ethos" by a decrepit old draft dodger and a smarmball who somehow made it to major in the National Guard.

Sharing. Because we need to know. Also because “John Brown Gun Club”.

The supreme chutzpah of these Wizards in Robes:

A moral society would make guys like this absolute pariahs, basically excommunicated from all sources of social belonging and support. There's no excusing beliefs like this. They're products of an entirely malformed being.

And when you tell Democrats that their focus-grouped, poll-driven, consultant-written messaging is contemptuous and unnatural, they respond by COMMISSIONING NEW FOCUS GROUPS, TAKING NEW POLLS, AND HIRING NEW CONSULTANTS, because the idea of being honest and natural is inconceivable to them.

We’re losing not because Trump is popular and strong but because the opposition is obsessed with finding clever tricks to win his voters by talking about unrelated things, rather than talking about the only thing that matters right now, which is how bad he is.

If you voted for him, you've done this.

Because mainstream media has capitulated to the Orange Stain. Most of those outlets no longer practice journalism.

Talk Of Fascism Dangerous, Warns Ministry Of Compliance

Reminds me of how the Koch brothers funded the “grass roots” tea party.

To me, this is the biggest story in the U.S. right now.

This is the predictable & unprecedented new level of open corruption that happens when the president openly monetizes his hotel in plain sight for four years & we don't do anything about it.

Recurring gripe of mine but it is incredible how National Conservatism is supposedly built around decrying lack of community, common project etc, while turning every “hate your neighbors” dial they can access up to 11. Make your professor terrified to say anything, don’t trust your doctor, etc

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.
