The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”

I wish I were kidding. Imagine lecturing district court judges for not assuming the Texas Republican Party was full of honest public servants who sincerely have the best interests of their constituents at heart.

“Yes, yes, we can see all your ‘facts’ and all the adorable little ‘evidence,’ but you failed to consider that none of that matters if we all close our eyes and pretend the Texas GOP actually had pure motives here, you stupid little rubes.”

The blatant use of false, inaccurate histories to arrive at a decision the majority of the Court clearly wanted regardless of the facts is a feature of both Dred Scott and Dobbs. It’s an apt comparison. 🗃️

Under Donald Trump, Americans are being laid off at a rate not seen since the peak of the pandemic.

This is a million times worse than anything Hunter Biden was accused of doing in even the most fevered right-wing conspiracy dream

must be pretty bad when the Daily Mail is running smashmouth exposes on a GOP admin www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Rolling back food stamps seems bad but I guess if you realize it’s to give very wealthy people a tax cut

He is the absolute worst of us. And his language on immigrants is only gonna get uglier, more hateful, more bigoted, & more divisive. Shame on us for putting an open racist/bigot in the White House.

Donald Trump’s MAGA Republican Party. Where fear and intimidation rules.

Matt Gaetz, James O’Keefe, and Laura Loomer have replaced the Pentagon press corps. I am not kidding. Look at the thread below. One of the military’s most critical lines of accountability is now a closed-circuit conspiracy carousel.

One of the four elements of malignant narcissism is sadism.

Over on x, David sacks is melting down about The New York Times reporting on his many conflicts of interest

Translating Nancy Mace: If they’re brown, black or Muslim, I want them out. If they’re not white Europeans, I want them out. I know that’s what she’s saying bcuz I used to do some of the same and use some of the same code words. And then I realized it was wrong. And I stopped.

To my new political party: This is the kind of voice necessary to win nationally. Responsible, serious, tough, moderate, decent, understood by regular folks, centrist, take no bullshit, a life of service. Thank you @captmarkkelly.bsky.social.👇

House Republicans aren't even trying anymore. They know Trump's a criminal, they know he's a pedophile, and they know they're going to be wiped out in the midterm elections by American Patriots who are a sick of this fascist, cruel, and sadistic regime. 😳👇

"When senior leaders disparage legal oversight, sideline JAG officers, impede the ability of the press to report, or treat accountability as the enemy, they do more than risk unlawful action. They weaken the moral foundation that makes our military credible in the eyes of the American people...

Knowingly abusing children for profit. We can't let this go on. We need to hold big tech accountable.

I assume she means everyone who isn’t white.

Donald Trump is crumbling before us. Pete Hegseth is under fire for war crimes, with congressional inquiries looming. Kash Patel is getting publicly humiliated by his own FBI agents. RFK Jr.'s freak flag is getting national attention thanks to the Lizza-Nuzzi insanity. The wheels are coming off.

“ i’m so surprised!!”……. said no one ever.

So, to recap: Washington Post story breaks on Hegseth. Pentagon says fake news. White House confirms the story roughly 12 hours later - and defends it. Press Sec confirms that Hegseth personally ordered the execution of the two stranded men. This isn’t going well.

Maybe, just maybe, if the FBI counterterrorism desk hadn't been retasked to chasing abuelitas, somebody might've followed up on the tips...

These Karoline Leavitt "press conferences" are completely worthless propaganda full of shameless lies. They should be ignored by the media and all of us.

Translation: Pete may well go down for this. But I’m not going with him.

💯 this. Trump believes he’s untouchable, that he’s above the law, and that he will never be held accountable for what he does. And most everyone in my former political party has learned from Trump and mimics Trump. Bcuz they now believe the same. 💯 this.👇

‼️‼️

This is tantamount to quoting characters in Jane Austen's "Mansfield Park" making small talk about constellations for your Astronomy exam.

"… in the present instance, it was perfectly clear to the accused that killing defenceless people in the life-boats could be nothing else but a breach of the law. As naval officers by profession they were well aware …."

Trump is killing low level suspected drug traffickers who are not in the U.S. and he's letting a drug cartel mastermind who was convicted by DOJ, and is serving 45 years in the U.S., out of prison. Money and power have a grip on America's corrupt president. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/n...

Exactly this. Thin skinned chodes all.

Thou shalt not pretend that you’re at war with drug traffickers while pardoning drug traffickers.

To make common cause with this Administration is to support an affirmatively white supremacist vision of this country. Period. Every corporation. Every Republican. Every influencer. Every Governor. Every evangelical leader. Every voter. Yes. Every voter.

Van Hollen: "It's either murder from the first strike if their whole theory is wrong, and I think the weight of the legal opinion is they've concocted this ridiculous legal theory. But even if you accept it, then it is a war crime. I do believe the secretary of defense should be held accountable"

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet. Run on *that*

This Is Good, But ICE Will Ignore It…. HUGE VICTORY: A judge just ruled EVERYONE picked up by ICE is entitled to a bond hearing in front of a judge – no more disappearing people into indefinite detention, for no reason. 👏 GOOD.

I hope it’s now (even more) obvious that having military in our streets, with instructions to ignore “stupid rules of engagement,” is not in any way intended to protect us or make us safer

We’ve had people from the U.S. and abroad asking whether the information on the White House website is even accurate anymore. The site has become unreliable, filled with blatantly false and deliberately misleading content.

Go Chuck!
