WASHINGTON—In a judgment the majority of justices said reflected the intentions of the Founding Fathers, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a 6-3 ruling this week that upheld state bans on transgender athletes, adopting an originalist vision for junior varsity volleyball rosters.

It is the dawn of a new era. Hear our battle anthem. Welcome to the new InfoWars.

Heh-heh. I love the way this guy thinks.

Competing commissions have produced the semiquincentennial we deserve.

Zombie Mitch is undoubtedly on life support until whatever the party of cheaters needs him for is over.

America has gotten to that last part of Monopoly where the game is effectively over and we're all just watching the Elites suck up all the money, nobody else is allowed to really keep playing the game & we're all getting more pissed by the minute. Flip the damn board over already.

OK, this 🧵 is a bit more positive.

These people are Nazis. This is the shit Nazis did.

Very thankful for this letter to Becky Pepper-Jackson (the 16 year-old trans girl SCOTUS ruled against yesterday) from James Dale, a gay man whose expulsion from the Boy Scouts was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2000.

We're experiencing this heatwave because the gates of hell have opened for Mitch McConnell.

I miss the great American tradition of not thinking about the president constantly.

Still think it was dangerous for our business elite to get behind a Ponzi scheme making a white-supremacist misogynist drug-addled degenerate-liar a trillionaire, giving him the means to undermine democracy & security & prosperity around the world.

Now that the government’s persecution of trans people has gone beyond sports and medicine for teens, where are all the people who insisted they weren’t "anti-trans" but just had some “reasonable concerns"? www.readtpa.com/p/reasonable...

NEW: Most Supreme Court Rulings Are Secretive Votes With Little Justification ProPublica conducted a new analysis that shows the court is deciding more consequential rulings than ever before in largely unsigned orders with little to no explanation.

As a former professional athlete, this is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. Your kid has a less than 1% chance of getting an athletic college scholarship. You’re better off putting the money into a 529 plan.

I don’t think these incumbents realize how brain-breaking it is to be flooded with five-alarm “fascism!!!” fundraiser texts on a daily basis, and then see the sender smiling and posing for Seersucker Day with “my friends across the aisle”.

Travis and Tay are OUT OF CONTROL

If any D incumbent deserves to be primaried from the left it’s MGP, a R who was elected as a D in a WA district full of OR MAGA state-tax refugees. HOWEVER, look up who she beat. This beeyatch ain’t going anywhere. A unified D caucus & strong House min leader to rein her in is the answer. HOWEVER

How it works: 1. Trump called for the end of birthright citizenship 2. MAGA scholars supplied vacuous claims, get lots of attention unrelated to the quality of their work 3. The Post treats the plain meaning of the constitution as an issue that is subject to legitimate disagreement

Updated: Over the last 8 days, I'm counting 15 Democratic incumbents who have lost to a challenger to their left. —3 congressmembers (2 NY, 1 CO) —4 state senators (2 in NY, 2 in MD) —8 state house members (5 in NY, 1 in MD, 2 CO) Here's a thread for you to know about all 15 results:

This cuts like a knife.

Fifteen term. FIFTEEN!! This should not be allowed!!!

This is bone-chilling. A conservative hedge fund manager wants to require little girls to pass genital inspections for their “safety.” And it’s only for girls’ sports. There’s a clear link between transphobia and child sexual abuse.

Anybody else getting these vibes from Taylor and Travis’s MSG nuptials?

I remember North Carolina having to back off its bathroom bill after a concerted pushback and its been wild to witness the wholesale abandonment since.

Bet on it.

People, for the love of God, please stop treating birthright as some kind of sweeping victory. It was 5-4 on the constitutional issue. The dissent laid out a fucking ROADMAP for what Trump should do next. The court always gives Trump multiple bites at the apple WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU HAPPY ABOUT?

SCOTUS reform won't just simply happen if Dems take Congress & the White House. A case has to be made for it—to a skeptical public, to reluctant politicians, to a hostile media. The blowback from the right will be intense and terrify a lot of weak-willed pols. The case has to be made starting *now*

they didn't consider this problem because it doesn't affect their kids because their kids all suck

The real headline from the birthright‑citizenship case isn’t the outcome. It’s that four Supreme Court justices signaled they believe a president can effectively rewrite the Constitution through executive order.

fixing the court is table stakes for any Dem running for national office, you are not a serious candidate if you can’t get on board with this and refusing to do so is disqualifying in a primary because it doesn’t matter what your policy positions are if SCOTUS will just overrule them

💯

*nodding solemnly with full comprehension* yes, I see. there’s a special kind of kid who can’t play sports or go to the bathroom

Can’t wait to see which Democrat votes to confirm Alito’s replacement. (Joke. It’ll be Fetterman.)

A thing I don’t get about the theory of cheating through late-arriving ballots is, you still need massive numbers of plausibly fake ballots, and if you’ve got those… why on earth would you wait till the absolute last minute to use them?

As if we don’t know how this is going to go.

Corey Booker continuing his streak if being the most all hat no cattle Democrat in history.

They just continue to insist that there are massive crowds showing up to this thing despite the fact that this is also the 200th anniversary of the invention of the camera.

What could possibly go wrong?

I do not think ANY of the decisions of this court are legitimate no matter whether some lawyers like how they ruled or not. It's the fruit of a poisonous tree. Gotta uproot the whole thing.

The three branches of the United States government, as delineated in the Constitution, are the God Emperor, The High Council of the Six Ayatollahs, and the Federal Reserve

love to watch everyone that lives in seattle or visits it for any amount of time gush over the city while folks who live in north bend and aberdeen and other far flung cities call it a hellhole they’re afraid to visit. everyone should laugh at how weak and scared they are

Mel Brooks is a greater piece of American heritage than the Confederacy.

I love how utterly miserable Donald Trump and Elon Musk are. Sparks joy every time I think about it.

denocratic socialists: [wins elections] centrist democrats: no, thank you

At least he took off the Knicks jersey.
