They don’t want to have to vote on blocking the slush fund.

Compare Alito's description of Trump's racist statements (on the left) to Justice Kagan's anthology of Trump's racist statements (on the right). These are passages from this morning's opinions in Mullin v. Doe.

This regime acts like Nazis with such frequency—explicitly deporting whole categories of people based on race, explicitly *importing* whole categories of people based on race, reframing our founding principles as devoutly fascist—that it's no wonder they squeal when called Nazis.

Do folks not know what Nazi rhetoric sounds like? Do we no longer have that historical perspective? Eastern and Middle Eastern cultures developed most stuff before the West but there’s a particular sort of Nazi—and Stephen Miller is one—who advances white supremacy by telling a very different story.

While this is good news, let's be clear: Transferring people from "Alligator Alcatraz" to other abusive ICE facilities still puts them in danger. No one should have to endure the horrific conditions people faced inside this facility and continue to face in ICE custody across the country.

BREAKING: Governor DeSantis announced that "Alligator Alcatraz" has officially shut down. Through community pushback and litigation pressure, we the people successfully closed the chapter on this facility's dark record. But as people are moved to other facilities, accountability is still needed.

After noting that the majority seemed oddly reluctant to include any examples of Trump's "repellent and racially inflected" statements about Haiti in its TPS ruling that soft-pedaled them, Justice Kagan provided some receipts:

vance is basically nixon if nixon were a dipshit and not a genuinely impressive guy

As a Watergate historian, this might be the dumbest and worst take we’ve seen from JD Vance in a long time. And it’s also a complete misunderstanding of Nixon and Watergate.

Tom Emmer: "We need to stand up, speak up, and take our country back from these evil marxists that are moving in" (Republicans currently control the entire federal government ... )

Remember that I am a journalist and attorney. I am watching what happens and tracking how institutions are operating. I am not an organizer. So I do not need people to tell me I am being a defeatist. My *job* is to be a realist. Those who want to see a different future will have to make that happen.

I see no evidence, of any kind, that anyone has any plan or intention or will to stop it. So for the moment, no—it is not going to be stopped.

The perverse truth is that there are six radicals on the Supreme Court intent on being members of the last Supreme Court America will ever have. Because when Trump seizes absolute power in 2028, there’s not going to *be* a Court anymore. These six traitors are dooming us all.

President Trump just refused to sign a bipartisan housing affordability bill unless Congress passes the SAVE Act, which would make it significantly harder for millions of people to vote. Tell Congress to hold the line and protect our voting rights.

Sen. Tim Sheehy: "Ukrainians are putting squeeze on every vector of Russian advance, and I think Russia underestimated what Ukrainians would be capable of. Home court advantage is a real thing, and Ukrainians have shown that it's really hard to push people out of their homeland.
