I’m still stuck on this administration literally telling women not to take ANY pain medication while pregnant AND to not vaccinate themselves or their children against preventable diseases that…cause fevers. They literally just want you to suffer and die.

I legitimately think the reaction to Kimmel made them realize that maybe just maybe there's an angry market out there that's bigger than the alternative.

Trump has designated Antifa as a terrorist organization, which will likely have all sorts of repercussions, none if them good, for American cities www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.

Ah, I see, shadow docket *plus* rocket docket for whatever Trump needs. Reminder that the emoluments clause case filed by Maryland & DC started June 12, 2017 and then was stalled for so long that SCOTUS dismissed it in January 2021 without a decision because Trump losing made it moot.

You're scared? So what?! Tell that to the 19-21 year old boys lying in graves...who flew one bombing mission after another as German antiaircraft fire destroyed the bombers around them on several missions before eventually slamming them into the same ground. F*ck fear. Show defiance. Call. Write.

Trump is aggressively ignorant. He does not learn, actively resists it, and has surrounded himself with people who enable his stupidity.

What I want to know is if this is the first time Homan has accepted a bribe. In a normal Administration, he would be immediately fired and a full forensic investigation conducted. But in this corrupt Administration, they’ll lie and deflect.

No no no no no no. The answer to government censorship is not government investigations of the target. You investigate the government actors. Do the thing you're empowered to do: oversight. Not the thing the Trump administration was doing: intruding into editorial decisions.

Here's my theory on the rapture: It already happened but went unnoticed because pretty much everyone who was swept up was impoverished, hungry, unhoused, and/or a refugee.

This is lawless. It is, however, not much different than what the SCOTUS far-right majority did when it allowed Texas's SB8 vigilante abortion law to go into effect in 2021 despite it clearly being unconstitutional under Roe/Casey.

In my mind, Roberts has easily passed up Roger Taney for honors as the most corrupt SCOTUS chief justice in US history. His wife's money making off placement of clerks was just a harbinger of far more corrupt things to come. bsky.app/profile/jfal...

Peewee German is just recycling N*zi garbage.

"The Executive Branch cannot whitewash a vindictive and selective prosecution by running it through a prosecutor who turns a blind eye to the motivations that launched it."

So many coverups. Release the Epstein files. Release the Homan tapes. Release the Venezuelan fishing boats evidence.

In dissent as to the stay, Justice Kagan — joined by Justices Sotomayor and Jackson — lays out the lawlessness of the majority plainly. "Our emergency docket should never be used, as it has been this year, to permit what our own precedent bars." Order/dissent: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Disney reverses course on Kimmel. Lessons: -Trump's anti-Constitutional stances, anti-1A in this case, are unpopular -Popular resistance via expression and spending choices can have an impact -Many corporate leaders are weak, amoral people who'll bow to threats unless they face countervailing ones

The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel has been swift, and severe. The whole episode underscores something I've been blogging about for a while: A lot of powerful people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is www.gelliottmorris.com/p/a-lot-of-p...

The last chance we have to save American democracy through non-violent means is probably the 2026 elections, and the chances this regime does not actively interfere in those elections are about zero. But this evil regime is *profoundly* unpopular and its policies are equally disastrous.

Notably, the second question presented would have implications even for the "Fed carve out" exception that the court suggested exists. (I know, Neil, that's precedent! No anarchy here!)

Certiorari "before judgment" is how #SCOTUS takes up a full appeal *before* the intermediate federal courts have heard it. It used to be exceedingly rare. For instance, there wasn't a *single* grant of such expedited review b/w August 2004 & February 2019. This is the *23rd* such grant since then.

Nope. Don't like that. Overruling Humphrey's Executor would be a huge blow to the independence of the bureaucracy. I know this isn't as sexy as other disasters in our polycrisis, but there should be enormous urgency to constitutionalize an independent, non-political administrative state.

Removal protections are gone. Humphrey's Executor is overruled in all but name by the Shadow Docket. Rest in peace to the Presidency, and long live the Monarchy.

In other words, the Sinister Six of SCOTUS are just handmaidens to their King. This SCOTUS is corrupt beyond measure. There is no legal justification for this other than to give the Executive the very powers that the Framers did NOT want it to have.

1. The assumptions that the Democrats "swung too left on cultural issues" is the wrong explanation. 2. The reason the Democrats lost is because they are viewed (rightly so in many cases) as a milquetoast party that believes in nothing and fights for nothing. 3. This is bad advice.

Today is a good day for the House to vote to demand the release of the Epstein files. Repost if you agree.

It is a long running bipartisan position that ‘terror’ suspects can be killed without evidence or process and that ‘drugs’ are a major problem that require a military solution. Both wrong, but this is how we got here.

What are the names of the U.S. Navy officers carrying out these orders to serially bomb civilian boats that pose no threat to their own vessels, killing everyone aboard? Surely they’ll want to take personal credit for this honorable service and perhaps wear a little campaign medal on their chest.

Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air after our government threatened a private company with retaliation, marking a dark moment for free speech in our nation. More than 400 artists across our nation signed on to say: We refuse to be silenced by those in power.

Fun story this morning. I spoke with Curtis Evans, the retired Marine in the viral photo below who took part in the anti-ICE protest at Broadview. He's a thoughtful guy, well read and with a dry sense of humor. Story @taskandpurpose.com taskandpurpose.com/news/marine-...

Pretty sure that would look like this...

If there is a Rapture this week, it is going to be very entertaining watching all the MAGA faux-Christians crying that they are not a part of it but their trans neighbors have ascended to heaven. Remember, Jesus was all about comforting the oppressed.

I don't think anyone in political office is prepared for what is still to come. People in sanctuary states should be ready, I think, for the law to no longer protect them.

4th deadly US strike on a boat in the Caribbean. As with the others: -in area US military operates freely -arrest low risk -no legal rationale -violates international law -no evidence of who US hit If really traffickers—very much an if—the move is interdiction. Would get evidence and intelligence.

Star Wars, about fighting imperial fascism and authoritarian control, brought to you by Free Speech Advocates, Disney *checks notes* oh no

Is Elon's Mars talk overblown? Total B.S.? Maybe even a deliberate distraction? That's what one Musk admirer — and well-regarded space analyst — told me for my new feature for @wired.com. Let me explain. (1/x) www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

22-year-old Ward Sakeik, a Palestinian woman who has lived in Texas since she was 9, says her experience in federal detainment could only be identified as “human trafficking.” And she’s not staying quiet about the women she was forced to leave behind. thebarbedwire.com/2025/09/22/w...

the fact that in multiple cases the Supreme Court has worked to legalize bribery in the United States is a major corrosion of our civil order

Just a reminder that the US Navy is being used to kill people without any due process. If you are in the Navy and you get such an order you are bound by law to disobey those orders under UCMJ Articles 90, 91, and 92. Following such orders will put you at risk of a war crimes tribunal.

There will be some Dems who vote for this out of fear of being soft on crime and those people need to be ousted from office. If you can't explain this in simple terms, you shouldn't be a politician.

I don't think politicians should say "people will die" without explaining what they're doing to stop/minimize that

John Oliver says Bob Iger should use "the only phrase that can genuinely make a weak bully go away. And that is, 'fuck you, make me.'" youtu.be/ohPToBog_-g?...

This SCOTUS is incredibly corrupt, and one of the priorities after the fall of this evil regime will be cleaning house at SCOTUS. At a minimum that means enforceable ethical standards, setting the number of Justices to the number of Circuit Courts of Appeal, and 18-year term limits.

When this ruling came down it was clear, if Trump won, they were handing a deeply vindictive, corrupt criminal the most powerful prosecutorial weapon in the world.
