When Eisenhower warned of the military-industrial complex, the rest of his party responded:

“What are you talking about? This is how we should do everything!”

The President of the United States is openly threatening to 'nationalize' elections, and it's no mistake he intentionally targeted Detroit.

In Michigan, we've led the nation in expanding access to and securing our right to vote. And we won't stop now.

When Republicans do it / When Democrats do it

“Eugenics” = money

E.g., RFK Jr likely wouldn’t be alive today if not for his inherited wealth

The Court delegitimized itself in 2000’s Bush v Gore & this century built upon that delegitimization at the country’s expense

The Supreme Cronies should wear soiled butcher aprons, not the feigned dignity of black robes

To both sides, Biden’s special task force should have shown more teeth

Epstein emails prove Norway's ex-PM Jagland was a middleman for Russia for at least 5 years while leading the Council of Europe.

The picture is clear: Epstein helped Russia secure leverage over Trump.

Trump is compromised, and Jagland is a traitor.

Too few know about this:

Guffo, Le Monde

go out & touch the grass, they said

The dissents’ positions in the end boil down to ignoring the Constitution’s separation of powers and the Court’s precedent and instead fear mongering on the basis of ex- treme hypotheticals about a future where the President “feels empowered to violate federal criminal law.” Post, at 18 (opinion of SOTOMAYOR, J.); see post, at 26, 29–30; post, at 8–9, 10, 12, 16, 20–21 (opinion of JACKSON, J.).

Every time I re-read Trump v. United States, it feels like getting hit in the head with a mallet.

Ten countries have launched investigations related to the released Epstein files.

Norway, UK, France, Lithuania, Latvia, Sweden, Australia, North Macedinia, Turkey, Poland.

Conspicuously absent is the United States, the epicenter of this scandal.

We know why.

Trump Posts Video Portraying Obamas as Apes

In a functioning democracy, he would not be president by this evening

I would literally not speak to a colleague who made this argument in a high court. I wouldn't acknowledge his presence.

Donald Trump’s first appearance in the NYT—

“Major Landlord Accused of Antiblack Bias in City” from 1973

I am not going to repost the vile and racist image that Trump posted last night of President & First Lady Obama because it is beyond disgusting. Trump is a vile racist as is every Republican that continues to support him. I don’t want to hear mumbling from Mike Johnson or stoic silence from Thune.

How is this not happening on a Tuesday?

I keep seeing returns and kick in to thinking it's only Tuesday!

Bad idea. ICE is pre-funded by the BBB. Also, CBP is just as bad if not worse and also pre-funded by the BBB. Severing ICE gives away any leverage we have to shut down the rest of DHS. We should be demanding to defund ICE/CBP of its BBB money and shut down ALL of DHS if they don’t agree.

Whoops, it was Time Magazine that ran that $50 trillion story all those years ago. Just hit me. Apologies.

Our tax dollars at work

Unrelated, that’s the first time I noticed a school sign on that block. For Planned Parenthood? Home schooling? Meany?

ok, whoa. the DOJ just told me that the unredacted version of the document in question contains an image of a victim’s face overlayed on the face of the Mona Lisa image. so, that's why it's redacted. jesus christ

🚨Throughout his career, Justin Olson attacked women, pushing radical beliefs about fetal personhood and undermining our basic rights.

 He once preached that "wives are the subjects of their husbands."

 Senate Republicans just gave him a lifetime judicial appointment.

Or part of their "degenerate art" campaign

Kavanaugh Stops metastasized

Read it all please.

This should be a bigger story.

A Reagan-appointed judge just ruled Trump’s Energy Secretary illegally ran a secret panel of climate deniers to cook up a biased report and sabotage clean air rules.

When these MAGA hotshots resort to slurs as is their MO, I wish a valid boilerplate response was deployed, like:

Sir/madam, your groundless insults are beneath the dignity of these proceedings and reflect your character, not mine."

Trump randomly picking large numbers out of thin air does not breed confidence that he is pursuing the rule of law.

Eichmann was "just following orders," the banality of evil
