Judges aren't just neutral umpires who call balls and strikes, they're competing on the field and making decisions that reflect their personal preferences. Eric Scarfee's latest looks at how the Supreme Court has devolved its neutrality in court and uses some recent cases to illustrate that.

If you saw this happening in another country, what would you call it? www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

The court cited the “overwhelming evidence that these subpoenas were not issued to investigate, but to harass, coerce, and retaliate.”

NEW: Records obtained by ProPublica detail at least a dozen SpaceX investors with addresses in mainland China, Hong Kong or Russia who acquired stakes in SpaceX years ago through a middleman firm in the U.S. called Tomales Bay Capital.

Incompetency is the point. The #GOP wants to make government so untrustworthy that we hand everything to private business.

ANTIFA has its own Cemetery~~ It’s called Arlington National Cemetery!

We have a #trillionaire and childhood hungry. That seems a little off, doesn’t it?

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

When #MAGA and #GOP folks puff their chest and say “I am doing so well my way must be right” think of this. The fact your life is not “bad” is not proof that your way is right, it is proof that society has been very lenient toward you, despite your greed and trying to harm us all.

Gee, thanks "teach the dems a lesson voters." 😡😡😡😡

"Christian conservative nationalism is a lie. It is an ideological product, a kind of cheap political Tupperware parading as fine crystal, that distorts the true history of nations and ignores the actual needs of real people."

A majority of Americans say their financial situation is worse than it was during two recessions. Any more questions on why the GOP wants to keep people from voting?

This is the morality of #republicans #conservatives. Fuel vanity, feed their cult leader’s ego, while starving Moms and kids. Saint Peter will be delighted to meet you and deliver the news.

Weltschmerz. I love that Germans have a word that describes the yawning gap between the reality of life and the possibility of the world.

Another assassination attempt to distract from the Iran war, that was started to distract from the Epstein files.

Shut them all fucking down

Note that there's been no threat to sue over this statement. I know I would be suing for tens of millions if I was innocent.

And for any conservative that gets bent out of shape over this. Replace the ill with another and see if you agree with the statement, ex: “what do you think of cancer treatment?” The redirect “I prefer we eliminate the cause so no one gets it.” Prevention is always better.

What was it he used to call Joe? Why is every slur a confession with these people?

25th, coup, or nature. All work.

In Budapest, locals tore down Orban’s anti-Ukrainian posters and celebrated Magyar’s election victory in various ways. A Hungarian soldier shouted to the crowd from the stage that the government's attitude toward Ukraine had been absurd and had only weakened Hungary's position.

They didn't vote to ban it. They voted to condemn it. Senator Sanders wants them to ban it.
