If the justices hew to the legal views they expressed in the Biden era, they must strike down the tariffs. But if they want to show loyalty to their party’s leader, they’ll need to write an opinion that cannot be squared with their Biden-era decisions. www.vox.com/politics/466...

If you're wondering WTF Trump is talking about when he says he's ended 8 wars this year, well, he didn’t. Here’s @joshuakeating.bsky.social's rundown of each conflict, what Trump did and didn’t do, where he deserves some credit, and where he doesn’t. www.vox.com/politics/466...

A few narrow pathways still exist to holding ICE accountable for its illegal behavior — but thanks to SCOTUS, they are unlikely to provide a meaningful check on the agency’s behavior. New from @imillhiser.bsky.social: www.vox.com/politics/464...

Voodoo and Black Messiah are perfect albums. Damn man. Legend.

When you cannot trust the justices to apply the law equally, one wonders how they could weaponize one of America's most righteous and effective laws to help their own political party and to hurt their political enemies. Troubling piece from @imillhiser.bsky.social: www.vox.com/politics/464...

Yes: Trump was willing to use the power and leverage the USA clearly has over Israel — something Biden at best was too cowardly to do. But Trump only did it because Bibi bombed and pissed off the royals in Qatar who have been lining Trump's pockets. That’s literally why this happened. 1/2

The Trump-Miller DOJ strategy: "flood the zone with shit." Target Trump's enemies & opposition with multiple likely doomed prosecutions. When one fails, move to the next (perhaps against the same person). Goal isn't conviction, it's putting enemies through the wringer www.vox.com/politics/464...

I have had it with Democratic leadership. Their shutdown strategy is a disaster, the worst of all possible worlds. If they want to salvage anything from this mess, they need to start talking — loudly and clearly — about fighting Trump's authoritarian takeover www.vox.com/politics/463...

Trump and Hegseth's Quantico gathering was an all-time "meeting that could have been an email." But also seemed to be something of a loyalty test for America's top military commanders www.vox.com/today-explai...
