All else aside, there is no interpretation of the events of the last decade in which at least one Supreme Court seat wasn’t outright stolen.

So Alito didn't retire yesterday, but I suspect he will. And if he does, the republicans will hold Maine. Why? Because Collins will get to make a big show about opposing Trump and the morons who think she's a moderate will be placated into voting for her.

Second apparently this was a close case for this Court. As it stands the decision is 6-3. In 1898 the Court’s decision protecting birthright citizenship, Won Kim Ark v. U.S., was 6-2. That means this SCOTUS is either on par w/or to the right of the 1898 Court - the same SCOTUS that decided Plessy!

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.

How does this play out? Trump nominates someone terrible like Aileen Cannon. Collins gets a hall pass to vote against (maybe Fetterman decides to be a bipartisan fucking moron) and maybe 1 or 2 others get to stick it to trump and show their independence. But whatever nazi he nominates is getting in.

Court can't go on like this. The Constitution as plainly as possible says people who were born here have an unequivocal right to citizenship. Four people whose ONLY job is to read the Constitution for the rest of their lives just tried to overturn it because they're tired of brown people. Pack it.

6-3? Are you fucking kidding me? This is where we are. The plain text of the 14th amendment, the intention of its authors, all of history, and 150 years of precedent, and those fucking traitors were ready to just ignore it because of their own nazi feelings. Fuck them forever.

The Supreme Court, waiting until the very last ruling of the term, to do Birthright Citizenship is such a diva fucking move.

This court is not legitimate.

Whoa. New NYT poll has dead heat in Texas Senate race. Talarico +27 among independents. This will push Dem groups to spend big there, now that it's clearly in play.

The fuck?

I took my kid to see Supergirl last night (it was fine), but what REALLY enraged me was that literally every single goddamn trailer takes a classic 80's or 90's song and does a slow remix or picks one relevant line and plays it again and again and again. I counted 4 trailers in a row. C'mon, people.

Here's the current state of play in the Senate if you use polls and reasonable guesses about the state of play in each seat projects.gelliottmorris.com/senate-2026/...

Mike Johnson: "If we were to lose the midterms, heaven forbid, these Democrats…will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body and they will go after the president's family…Half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. I'll take care of you."

Apparently, you're not allowed to post: “BREAKING: The ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in broad daylight has been identified as Jonathan Ross by the Minnesota Star Tribune. I think today is a great day for Jonathan to be indicted!”

Trump Officials: "We are gutter racists who believe non-white people are racially inferior to whites. We have said publicly that non-white immigrants dilute the racial purity of our nation and thus we do not want non-white immigrants here. This is *entirely* about race." Sam Alito: "But *is* it?"

RESULT: Darializa Avila Chevalier, a challenger backed by New York's left, has ousted Rep. Adriano Espaillat. An earthquake result, which means all 3 congressional candidates backed by Mamdani have won: Chevalier, Brad Lander, and Claire Valdez.

I think a fair case could be made that in terms of inflation adjusted total dollars, Trump had been more corrupt than all other presidents combined.

President Trump approval - American Research Group poll Disapprove 67% (+2) Approve 30% (-1) (shift since last month) americanresearchgroup.com/economy/

He's lying. You know why we know? WE HAVE THE AGREEMENT HE SIGNED!!!! Here's the operative language: "The U.S. undertakes, together with regional partners, a comprehensive plan...for the rehabilitation and economic development of Iran...of at least $300 billion."

NEWS CENTER MAINE: This is the first reelection campaign that you're run since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. I was hoping you could talk to me a little bit about your vote to confirm Kavanaugh and whether you regret that? SUSAN COLLINS: I do not regret that vote.

I agree with the hot-takers who say that calling it "vulgar" or "undignified" is precisely what the trolls want. It casts us a bunch of scolds. It is, however, corrupt. It is wasteful. It is demeaning to servicemembers who are used as props. Focus on that.

So it’s been more than 12 hours. Do we actually have any pictures with trumps name fully removed?

Is there a single thing of value that would not exist in this world had musk never been born?

A trillion is a million million. Think about that for a moment.

Grand juror pressed the prosecutor on whether there are "any new actual facts" on the second attempt: "I heard this case like last week and I thought it was a crock of shit then and I still think it is."

I'm in Philadelphia, and I better fucking hear the boos from here without having to turn on the television.

I kind of hate this. It’s a celebrity punching down. A viewer found a show bad and formulaic and said so without tagging anyone and Laurie felt the need to be shitty and mock them and then people get to pile on.

I saw this ad, and yet...

On this D-Day remember, based on everything Trump has ever said and done to ingratiate himself to dictators, based on every racist, anti-LGBTQ, and antisemitic comment he's made, he would absolutely have sided with the Axis in WWII.

RIP Anthony Head. This one hits hard. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wR_b...

Some MAGAs might think Trump is celebrating Pride. Lol

I've been doing a lot of modeling for the november House, and am quite confident the Dems will win in a walk, but it is somewhat telling about the state of the country and the supreme court that I never for a moment removed Alabama from my "redistricted" list.

So literally the only map The Supreme Court wouldn’t support was Virginia, which was enacted by two separate legislative sessions and passed in a citizen referendum.

absolute horseshit.

A friend of mine asked if it would have been better had Oz gotten the PA seat. No; absolutely not. Fetterman is a piece of shit, but only if you compare him to other Dems, with whom he votes > 90% of the time. And a generic R (let alone Oz) would also voted with the republicans in that 10%.

I know I’m late to the party but we really should be doubling down on the “republicans are fucking weirdos” approach. The latest is regarding Talarico’s smokeshow girlfriend which seems to be only being discussed in RW press and social media and somehow as a “gotcha.”

Kind of crazy that an 80 year old president with this approval rating would be the sort that people would be willing to worship and bet their careers on. fiftyplusone.news/polls/approv...

BREAKING: The USPS said it’s planning to crack down on mail voting by sending ballots only to voters who are registered with the federal government. The new proposed rule represents an alarming step toward implementing Trump’s attack on mail voting ahead of the midterms.

Louisiana House Republicans have passed a new 5-1 congressional gerrymander targeting 1 of 2 Black Dems. It packs Black voters from New Orleans to Baton Rouge in a snake-like 2nd District to make the other 5 heavily white/GOP. GOP senators already passed a similar map www.nola.com/news/politic...

Talarico puts out his first digital ad focusing on Ken Paxton's corruption. #TXSen www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpGB...

A Florida judge says voting rights groups have not sufficiently proven the new Florida gerrymander was drawn with partisan intent (which is forbidden by the Florida constitution) when the DeSantis' team has said that explicitly! www.nytimes.com/2026/05/26/u...

Oh lord. Not again.

I don't want to jinx it but between Trump missing Jr's wedding, Tulsi getting the axe, and Abrego Garcia getting his case dropped, it seems like a pretty solid day.

We are going to savor this one. Our client, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is freed of these outrageous, vindictive charges. It’s a good day.

Another thing that gets missed is that between Nixon and Trump, every major party candidate released his tax returns when running for office *and* every sitting president and vice president had their taxes audited by the IRS with the results released. I wrote about this nearly a decade ago:
