Mike Davis says the quiet part loud: “I just want dumb justices who will fall in line." www.mediamatters.org/supreme-cour...

In a sane world (an alt reality) today's dissents would sufficient to warrant Thomas, Gorsuch and Alito's impeachment and removal from office. If you defy the plain words, meaning, intent, history, precedent of a black letter constitutional injunction u are abusing your power and should be removed.

"Use whatever force is necessary."

This really does seem like a roundabout way of saying that a pre-write on Alito's retirement was accidentally published this morning.

"YESSSSSS!!!!"

If Nina Totenberg accidentally published her pre-write before she was supposed to and blew Alito's retirement announcement, I am going to die laughing at my desk

This is what the now-retracted story about Alito retiring looked like. It's clearly a pre-written story because it's both long and the caption says he retired Friday, while the main text of the story says Tuesday.

yikes

Man, idk what this Tom Kean depression diagnosis means as far as mental health in politics goes. We’re also talking about a quite long and expensive hospitalization, one that he’s not saying involved a suicide attempt or ideation. I think we need to learn a lot more info.

So he's gonna advocate for all people with depression to get four months off for rehabilitation, right? And he's gonna tell RFK jr to fuck off with his quest to limit the medication that Kean is very clearly taking to be functional?

All of these cases are basically litmus tests for any Dem nominee. Are immigrants Americans? Do trans Americans deserve human rights? Are corporations superhumans who get to spend endlessly on elections to put whoever they want into power? These are simple questions with simple answers.

Federal government setting prices but make it right-wing and psychotic.

"No other country does birthright citizenship," Trump told reporters and the public yesterday. Not a single reporter told him he was wrong – that 32 other countries have it – even though all of the reporters knew that, or they should be fired for not knowing it.

The New York Times tried to accuse Mehdi of "misstating the facts" after he called them out for going easy on extremist GOP politicians. He followed up with a list of receipts zeteo.com/p/mehdi-vs-t...

There’s a remarkable amount of triumphalist, smugly self-congratulatory rhetoric in the chief’s Slaughter opinion. And I’m curious how it’ll register in 5-10 years when it’s recognized as the reason the United States is not allowed to have a neutral, nonpartisan body of experts that regulates AI.

I don't want to exaggerate. There are probably at least 2000 people here all told. There's a couple hundred on or waiting for the Ferris wheel. A few hundred visiting the state booths. And a steady trickle of individuals taking selfies at l'Arc de Grift, where a TV reporter is interviewing people

Checking in on MAHA day at the American State Fair. Managed to get pretty close to the stage

This looks like one of those paintings you see in an old Italian church, showing what their village looked like after the bubonic plague swept through Via @joe-lamb.bsky.social / Washpost, at Trump’s Great American state fair

Just left the great American state fair where I watched Michael Knowles debate a ten year old girl about the Salem witch trials in front of DOZENS of people

Paraguay! My god, that had to be the most intense and dramatic shootout I've ever seen!

BREAKING: More than 100 Venezuelans who were deported from the U.S. hours before the earthquakes are missing after their hotel collapsed.

I know it's become overplayed and cliche to keep referencing Veep when it comes to the Trump administration, but this is a Veep episode.

TMZ DC with perhaps the most brutal video from Trump's Great American State Fair, showing Dr. Oz on stage bragging to Dean Cain about how big the crowd is, only for the reporter to pan around and show absolutely nobody is there. Original post: x.com/i/status/207...

Dr. Oz seemingly not understanding how insurance works is precisely the point here, since it is almost assuredly going to be used as a pretense to take away millions of people's healthcare.

4chan's "Adult Requests" board was one of the internet's largest and fastest-growing venues for trading and soliciting sexually explicit "deepfakes." On May 21, it abruptly shut down. More than a month later, there's still no sign it's coming back. openmeasures.io/4chan-ai-dee...

This isn’t the easiest needle to thread in left-wing spaces, but @evanurquhart.bsky.social threads it well.

As with some other things, i suspect if we have another dem president we will discover that the court did not so much transfer power to the executive as to themselves, ie they will find novel bullshit reasons to block a dem president the same way the find novel bullshit reasons to enable trump

Oh yeah, it's still extremely sparse at the Great American State Fair -- despite it being "MAHA Monday."

After airing a clip of Melat Kiros saying "Israel is a country that has been accused of apartheid and occupation for decades now and has been able to resist any kind of change," Harris Faulkner reacts: "The liberal left has said for decades -- that’s true. We see their hatred on full display!"

Need more savvy political media articles wondering why Dems aren't doing more to win over the Randy Fines of the GOP

Trump's state fair is now open for the day and the crowd remains quite sparse

Fox News liberal pundit Richard Fowler: "Crime is down in Chicago!" Harris Faulkner: "I let you talk..." Fowler: "Crimes is down in all those cities!" Faulkner: "Tiffany, go ahead."

Harris Faulkner, after Fox News reporter Mark Meredith highlights "MAHA Monday" at the Great American State Fair: "I can never get enough butter on my pancakes, so I don't have a problem eating them morning, noon, and night. You enjoy your dum-dums. [awkward silence] Go, America!"

Slaughter is an earthquake: SCOTUS has overturned a 90-year-old precedent that facilitated much of modern governance by granting many agencies meaningful independence from the president. Now SCOTUS crushes that independence ... for seemingly every agency except the Federal Reserve.

Is This the Most Corrupt Administration Ever? “The New York Times published a blockbuster story on Kazakhstan, public money, and the U.S. president's sons. Meanwhile in DC, an aging Trump rambled about algae and golf.” Read here, by @martinpengelly.bsky.social: zeteo.com/p/is-this-th...

#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):

There are currently more Fox News personalities at Trump's Great American State Fair in DC than actual attendees.
