In the future, everyone on Bluesky can just pay $1,200/hr to the constitutional lawyer of their choice to summarize SCOTUS decisions.

Once again, this site has a significant problem with people who cannot distinguish between "here is what the law is"/"here is what happened" and "I endorse that law/what happened."

In which Trump decides the Pottery Barn Rule is not a real rule

Really good context here, whatever your views on today's ruling

On Trans Day of Visibility, Supreme Court sides with conversion therapy

The Supreme Court will hear arguments over Trump's attempt to restrict birthright citizenship tomorrow. Why the government's case is based on a house of cards, with @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Every court decision reinforcing free speech rights—and it does not matter *whose* free speech rights—is a bulwark against Trumpism

This is the inevitable consequence of insisting without evidence that sexism or sexism + racism was the primary reason Clinton and Harris lost

"Hi, Alex. Can you go back to 2015 and take away Anthony Weiner's electronic devices?"

Second place awarded to the guy who made a poster of Donald Trump’s recent Google search history that included the query “is Mamdani single?”

Libertarians

TFW you know you are seeing the birth of a brand new meme...

In fairness it’s not like the consequences of having a mad king unilaterally take the country to war on a whim were so incredibly obvious that you could see it coming from the 18th and 19th centuries www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Meanwhile, at CPAC, it's YesKings day!

So, Trump would like everyone to believe that he has always had the authority to unilaterally pay TSA agents, but that for the last month, he has simply chosen not to do so?

A matchup steeped in text, history, and tradition

It's happening!!!

Stories about life inside ICE's family detention center in Dilley, Texas, are hard to come by. But @julialurie.bsky.social reviewed hundreds of pages of sworn oral declarations given by detained children and their parents about conditions at the facility. This is Dilley, in their own words:

To the extent anyone finds this newsworthy, it's kind of funny that no one found any of it before the election?

This alone should be disqualifying www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

This can't possibly be legally enforceable, right? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/24/u...

I showed a few ICE agents in Houston photos of masked agents at O’Hare. They seemed surprised (and annoyed) by it, and said they had been told multiple times they were not allowed to mask.

Yeah, the co-equal branches canard didn’t work out. Article I supremacy is the way forward from here.

Enemy 1) Foreign autocracy Enemy 2) Domestic opposition party

fuck it, let's just buy 1.4 billion pairs of Florsheim dress shoes www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Bluesky has both a growing antisemitism problem and a growing unwise-desire-for-censorship-of-alleged-antisemtism problem

I'm so old, I remember when this exact thing was the biggest scandal in Colorado politics... www.heritage.org/commentary/t...

There's a great section in Richard Dawkins' The Blind Watchmaker on how negative feedback systems can reach equilibrium points that are not necessarily the most efficient equilibrium—for example if a room has two separate thermostats control the heat and the AC, both turned on, fighting each other

This $200 billion would be better spent on 1,333 Free Presses.

Joe Kent won't blame Trump for starting the Iran war. The Fox News hosts now attacking him won't blame Trump for appointing someone they're calling a disloyal, untrustworthy, Trump-hating conspiracy theorist. MAGA is a personality cult. www.mediamatters.org/us-iran-rela...

The idea that Israel is anything other than a junior partner in this enterprise (albeit one that obviously has far more competent intelligence officials than we do) is laughable.

one of donald trumps favorite power consolidating moves is to create such a catastrophic mess that everyone else has no choice but to help clean it up the problem here is that the catastrophic mess is lightning the world on fire

It's fairly commendable that despite his obvious hatred of Markwayne Mullin, Rand Paul is hesitant to accept this once-in-a-career opportunity to remove Mullin from his own workplace

This is an amazing clip. Everyone in the room knows that email is complete BS designed to trick Trump's supporters into donating. But obviously none of the Trump administration officials can actually *say that* so they all just leave open the possibility that he's selling national security secrets.

1. It's *good* that a powerful administration official resigned over the Iran war. 2. It's *bad* that his objections to the Iran war are based on antisemitism conspiracy theories. 3. It's *good* that an antisemitic conspiracy theorist has resigned and is no longer a powerful administration official.

"Chicago rock band The Smashing Pumpkins" 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

I'm not sure I can stomach today's installment of the right-wing civil war over whether antisemitism or anti-Muslim bigotry should be the One True MAGA Faith

If you look closely, you can see pardon corruption becoming a self-replicating life form

The real scandal is that there are apparently Democratic donors dumb enough to think this would be an effective use of their money

Incredible piece that will surely put an end to the conspiracy theories once and for all

“LEON You are not running a pizza place.” “The difference between Jews and pizza.” “Pizza and grape soda.” Those mentions are just a slice of the nearly 1,500 mentions of pizza in the Epstein files. @jamespwest.bsky.social on what they reveal about the convicted sex offender.

Congratulations to everyone at Paramount, CBS, CNN, and—especially—"The Free Press" on becoming official state media. Apparently the "secretary of war" will now be dictating headlines and chyrons to the "patriotic press" from the Pentagon podium.

News outlets and commentators should have to pre-register their planned coverage of antisemitic attacks -- word count, placement, etc -- before learning the identify of that attacker

Just noting that if there is a congressional vacancy in South Carolina, the seat will be vacant for 5-7 months (unless I'm misunderstanding this) www.scstatehouse.gov/code/t07c013...

This chart has been getting a lot of attention, but I think many folks are missing the key point in the article, which is this: "for most voters who identify with MAGA on the ground, MAGA = Trump"

Just as a matter of self-interest, folks should want to avoid going on TV or social media and accidentally arguing the troops shouldn't have steak or inadvertently covering up an ISIS-inspired bombing. The internet is forever!

The extremely transparent and easily debunked misinformation about the NYC bombing and the steak & lobster stuff doesn't just make journalists, pundits, and Democrats look bad. It also vaporizes future credibility and makes it far more difficult to credibly denounce Trump's lies.

Man I really don’t think it’s wise to go on TV as a Democrat and say that the troops shouldn’t be able to have nice meals
