i find it fascinating that vance routinely goes out of his way to make clear that he doesn’t have anything to do.

“Hello, my name is Anthony Antichrist, and here is my heretical interpretation of the Bible.”

you're the director of the office of management and budget, *knowing* the answer to this — not what you "heard", not what you guess, actually knowing it — is very literally your job

BREAKING on MS NOW: Mike Johnson's latest effort to force through the SAVE America Act to rig elections just failed. The House failed to clear a procedural vote 198-224 on the NDAA largely because the SAVE Act was attached.

Guaranteed: 1) Black girls will be harassed and demanded to be tested over and over again regardless of how competitive they are. 2) Winners from public schools will be relentlessly hounded by the parents and coaches of losers at private schools, with the goal of making them quit the sport.

one thing i find funny is that the founding generation would likely have been very enthusiastic about, say, muslim immigrants and intensely skeptical of all the catholics

Gorsuch literally says as much as this in his Slaughter concurrence. He calls this the Constitution as originally intended.

Jackson.

Fact check: Vought has, in fact, repeatedly expressed support for Christian nationalism by name. He has been very public about that. religionnews.com/2025/06/23/o...

Cool that James Madison envisioned everyone having a rocket launcher but the authors of the 14th amendment explicitly stating their intentions doesn't count for some reason.

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.

Yeah, I hate to say this is true, but it is. Four justices agreeing is a signal that this is now the benchmark for any conservative jurist. “No more Souters” will turn into “no more Barretts.”

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?

If Rs win in 2028 and replace Sotomayor, it's gone. I don't know why a bloc of left-wing voters convince themselves "the court shouldn't matter, you can't blackmail me" but that happens every decade and a half for some reason

This birthright ruling is why I just refuse to tolerate all the Democrat garment rending over NY voters choosing progressive candidates. They are incapable of governing in this moment. The politics of appeasement and centrism gets us to a 5-4 decision on the constitutional question.

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.

Four Supreme Court justices inventing the "nuh-uh I don't like it ewww" defense to the actual text of the Constitution.

The thing you need to understand is that there are 2 (TWO) different method for amending the constitution 1) The process laid out in the constititon itself (conventions, or 2/3's of both houses followed by 3/4 of states ratifying) OR 2) find five votes on the Supreme Court.

The idea that Trump wouldn't have used this as a mandate and willy nilly rounded up every first-generation non-white American by the end of the year had ONE person's vote gone differently is delusional. Things would've gotten very hot very fast.

6-3 is absolutely appalling here, I expected Alito and Thomas but Gorsuch is a nasty surprise after the oral arguments dismantle this court

Donald Trump came one vote away from getting the Supreme Court to say that the 14th Amendment does not guarantee birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented and temporary immigrants, a view held only by fringe far-right nativists until VERY recently. This is shocking. I am stunned.

5-4 for what it explicitly says in the constitution is incredible. They were this close to undoing the civil war entirely. bsky.app/profile/mjsd...

“Stop the steal” was apparently more of a how-to seminar.

No commentary needed…

Well now that the sports issue is settled i am sure all those politicians who said they would support trans rights otherwise are getting to work on that

thomas simply couldn't join the opinion, this corrupt, misanthropic bigot had to throw in his two cents and put his bigotry into the record

Trans rights are human rights always and forever.

elderly council of wizards mandates child gential inspections.

The White House press corps why?

The elements of the liberal intelligentsia that collaborate like this should not be distinguished from fascists when the time comes.

This is what good target system analysis buys you - outsized impact for the weapons expenditure.

A lie. Slaughter allows Trump to purge the heads of the MSPB and Office of Special Counsel, which protect civil servants from unlawful firings. When those agencies are paralyzed or corrupted, civil servants’ job protections become worthless. Thomas and Barrett endorsed this outcome just last month.

You would think “your mom using AI to make it look like you were given a birthday party” is the most pathetic thing you’d ever see but then you remember he runs this account himself

If the Supreme Court can reverse a 95 year-old ruling for a country that is only 250 years old, I need you to UNDERSTAND this country still has no idea what it is or what it stands for other than it’s constant push-and-pull to oppress Black people and eliminate Native people.

They're plundering the national treasury.

for my money this is the absolute pinnacle of bluesky scolding:

I gotta be honest, setting reasonable limits on the technology for my kids is really easy and I would like the democrats to help with literally any other aspect of having children instead of

Exit light Enter night Take my hand Morocco beat the Netherlands

Here’s the crowd

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

Over on Twitter, 80% of the replies to this exact same post are people screaming at me for being a hater, loser, anti-American, stupid, etc. wonder why!

the little groyper kids running the administration are spending hours a day getting grok to generate wink-wink-not-quite-nazi imagery and using it to rile up grandpa. trump likes fascist shit because he has no taste but this is basically the equivalent of tricking meemaw into posting minions porn

I think there's a microgenerational gap between older Millennials/young Gen-X and younger Millennials/Gen-Z on this - being old enough to understand the Matthew Shepard attack, not knowing any out gay adults, not having many queer kids at school - and worse if you grew up in an exurb/rural vs urban.

when it zoomed out I gasped

neighbor in the building lobby ranting on the phone about her 'itchy fucking pussy.' that exact phrase 197 times loud enough to wake the dead. 'itchy fucking pussy.' got off the phone & said hi, i said you okay? i couldn't help but overhear. gave me a withering look and said 'that call was private'

youtube.com/shorts/IWcC4... #USD #PB I love the look on Ken Paxton’s face when realizes he is busted traveling to Iceland with a girlfriend. This will be played on a loop here in Texas Texans want to know why Paxton is spending July 4 in Iceland instead of Texas. Does Ken Paxton hate freedom?

1. By Presidential nomination and Senate approval, make all federal judges SCOTUS Associate Justices 2. By act of Congress: SCOTUS no longer sits en banc, but instead in randomly drawn panels 3. By act of Congress: for any session of SCOTUS, one randomly drawn panel hears cert, one hears oral args

Elon Musk doesn't believe gutting USAID caused any deaths. He claims his DOGE team was unable to find kids the agency was helping. Well, here are some specific people he could talk to: parents whose kids are now dead, and kids who are now orphaned, thanks to him. www.thebulwark.com/p/yes-the-cu...

The anti-immigrant, Islamophobic hate film CITIZEN VIGILANTE is #1 on Amazon after the world's richest racist, Elon Musk, spent the weekend using his captured platform, Twitter, to promote it. The reason Germany banned it is because they fear, rightfully so, it will incite hate crimes and violence.
