“Amid the bloody shambles, one big question is, who put The Gang That Couldn’t Think Straight in power? …[T]he groundwork for the MAGA takeover was laid well before by the Roberts Supreme Court and by right-wing billionaires that the court enabled.” - @pkrugman.bsky.social

Senator Mark Warner: We are now a week into this war. Six Americans have already been killed, and the president is saying that he expects many, many more casualties. And on top of that, Lisa, we’ve had at least four — maybe now five — different rationales about why we’re going to war.

@markwarner.bsky.social @thelisagraves.bsky.social @mspopok.bsky.social

All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson. Respect recognizes respect.

Introduced by Popok, Sen. Mark Warner joins Lisa Graves of Court Accountability Action to discuss Donald Trump’s sudden “war of choice” with Iran. Warner, vice chair of Senate Intelligence Select Cmte, warns of shifting rationales, risks to U.S. troops, national security, and spillover to Ukraine.

If you ask @thelisagraves.bsky.social, it's "no coincidence" SCOTUS took this case considering all the ways it's "captured with the help of carbon cash." From Leonard Leo to Koch & others, this is part of a much larger attack on the cases, orchestrated by the same oil interests tied to the court.

Check out the recording from yesterday's Buying the Bench. Thank you to the indomitable Lisa Graves & intrepid researcher Evan Vorpahl for walking us through dark $ and its impact on the Ohio Supreme Court. @thelisagraves.bsky.social @truenorthresearch.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zsr...

The USA is also blessed to have so many excellent, high achieving, top-notch qualified #women, that are holding everything together.

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists? Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy. Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists? Noem: My condolences to their families Raskin: You lied about them.

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

I had a chance to talk to @thelisagraves.bsky.social , former chief counsel on the Senate Judiciary Committee, about #NIH this year. We covered the presidentialization of NIH, shifting it to control by the White House, and Lisa showed us her Thurgood Marshall pin. ❤️ 1/ on @legalafmtn.bsky.social

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin? NOEM: Yes WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that? NOEM: No.

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

Catch CMD's Matthew Cunningham-Cook on @legalafmtn.bsky.social with @thelisagraves.bsky.social where they discussed CMD’s new report on how the Musk/Trump playbook of destruction was pioneered in North Carolina where mega-donor Art Pope was given levers of power to wreak havoc on public policy.

Senator Blumenthal: We talk about democracy being under threat or under siege. There’s no better example of it than this whistleblower, Ryan Schwank, talking about how he was told to conceal a memo and not take notes on it, because there was obviously an awareness that America would be outraged.

For the first time, the U.S. Supreme Court has taken up Exxon’s plea to weigh in on whether climate accountability lawsuits are preempted by federal law, writes @emdashsanders.bsky.social. This is "no coincidence," says @thelisagraves.bsky.social, since the court is "captured" by "carbon cash."

This really sums it up.

a man about to complete his life's work by abolishing the voting rights acts last crumbs

I think we're seeing today who is so afraid, so desperate to believe that things will be okay, that they're ready to put their faith in the author of Trump v United States to save us from Trump

While Trump and Republicans consider ACA subsidies to help families access healthcare a waste of taxpayer money, it is just fine to use millions of it to slap his name on Palm Beach International Airport. Senator Carlos Smith calls it corrupt, unethical, and an unprecedented grift. We agree.

"Over the past 24 hours, two countries have demonstrated what it means for no one to be above the law – an increasingly stark contrast to what is happening in America under the rules invented by John Roberts," writes @thelisagraves.bsky.social for COURIER's Grave Injustice.

Always remember: The Roberts Court is ALWAYS outcome oriented and only INCIDENTALLY “rule of law” when being so is convenient. It's never "doing the right thing." (From March 2025) www.weekendreading.net/p/the-courts...

Legal normies and the left have to stop flattering themselves that Roberts ever does anything they like to gain credibility with them for something worse he plans to do. When it happens, it's only a collateral benefit. bsky.app/profile/espi...

Roberts Court Decoder Ring: When it comes to corporations or the Epstein Class: Rule of law for me; rule by law for thee Stop keeping score by Trump’s W/L, but by the W/L record of those who spent billions to capture the court. You don’t need to be a ConLaw professor; just look out the window.

30. Footnote 2 to today's thread. I mentioned how in South Korea, justice means insurrectionists get life in prison but here, they get criminal immunity. Here's @thelisagraves.bsky.social on what John Roberts did to the rule of law in America. www.graveinjustice.news/p/john-rober...

Lisa Graves, a leading court watcher, charts Chief Justice John Roberts' previously underreported 40-year crusade to overturn Roe and deprive American women of their reproductive rights. @thelisagraves.bsky.social

Kings and Fürhers have immunity. Not original, at all. Ask Aquinas, Carl Schmitt and John Roberts. Rad trad Catholics believe democracy is a 250 year old heresy to be burned at the stake. @thelisagraves.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/graveinj...

NEWS: Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been sentenced to life in prison after a court found him guilty of leading an insurrection tied to his 2024 martial law declaration that triggered a constitutional crisis and military raid on the National Assembly.

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

Great 5-8 1/2 tonight guys! @gregolear.bsky.social @thelisagraves.bsky.social @nadinesmith.bsky.social

Chief Justice John Roberts has overseen the dismantling of reproductive freedom—not just through the headline Dobbs decision, but through a decades-long legal and political strategy that Roberts helped build, conceal, and ultimately execute. Read the full article by @thelisagraves.bsky.social

THE ROBERTS SUPREME COURT: If you are wondering why it appears that the Roberts court seems to be void of honesty & integrity & no longer supports the #Constitution #WethePeople, read @thelisagraves.bsky.social ’ “Without Precedent”. She pulls back the curtain & connects the dots.. the #darkmoney

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

RFK, Jr. is a mass murderer.

Epstein survivors released a powerful Super Bowl ad demanding justice from a Justice Department that has failed them for years. The crimes were real. The harm was real. The silence is deliberate. Survivors deserve answers, not cover-ups. Watch it. Share it. Demand justice.

Wonderful conversation on @legalafmtn.bsky.social with @mspopok.bsky.social, Judge Michael Luttig, and @thelisagraves.bsky.social. I've adored & admired Judge Luttig ever since I was mesmerized by his testimony during the J6 hearings. Scroll down on this page to the recording. ⬇️
