The Chief Executive sues the IRS for $10 billion in a frivolous lawsuit, then, say, orders the DoJ to settle the lawsuit for $11 billion.

Seems legit. Not.

This is ridiculous. The language is clear. The S. Ct ruled that the language means what it says: If you're born in the U.S., you're a U.S. citizen. U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark (1898). You white supremacist goofballs were wrong then, and you're wrong now.

Eat dirt, people too racist for even 1898.

Make it equally fun for everyone: Dress up in body armor and a mask and arrest random ticket holders.

(Also: Abolish ICE.)

Former law clerk here, for two Supreme Court Justices.

You won't have a Supreme Court fulfilling its function until you get rid of the 6 Republican-appointed "Justices" or you expand the Court to 15 and outvote them on everything.

If ICE does go to the Olympics, one of the first persons they'll murder is Turkish Shooter Guy:
1. He spoke English with an accent.
2. He had a gun.
3. He kept his hand in his pocket.

(PS Abolish ICE)

Q: Why do they not show the new movie "Melania" on airplanes?

A: Because even at 30,000 feet, people would walk out.

Asking for a former Constitutional democracy.

Come for the World Cup.
Stay for the Kavanaugh stops.
Maybe forever, now that ICE is conducting Kavanaugh Heart Stops.

(Actually, don't come for the World Cup. Seriously. Boycott.)

Since 1945 the term "Quisling" (after Norwegian Minister President Vidkun Quisling) has referred to collaborators with Nazis. For the next 80 years "Collins" should refer to the particular sub-species of Quislings who supported the fascism with their every deed, but pretended to be perturbed.

The jerk who attacked her is lucky he got tackled by security. She was ready to punch his lights out.

You go, Ilhan Omar.

And jerk who attacked her: Pick on someone your own size. (It will be less embarrassing when you get your ass kicked.)

I'm okay with billionaires as long as we make them pay billions in taxes for the benefit of everyone else.

They've won the lottery. And benefitted from the infrastructure we built. They need to share. The marginal tax rate on income above $2 million used to be 90%.

Democrats up 22 points from the last election, even in a District where there was almost no room for improvement.

Never elect another Republican again. Anywhere.

ICE doesn't follow U.S. law, the Justice Manual on use of force, or the Constitution. Why should they consider treaties or international law?

Tesla fared worse than any automaker in EU in 2025, even as EVs outsold petrol EVs outsold petrol-only cars in Europe in December, for the first time ever. But Tesla didn't join the party - its sales cratered.

Electric vehicle sales surged in Europe, surpassing gasoline-only vehicles for the first time. With one exception: Tesla sales were down 37.2%

Apparently, having had prior experience with its predecessor, Europe now rejects the Swastikar. #TeslaTakedown

US sending ICE unit to Winter Olympics for security, prompting concern and confusion in Italy News that a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement unit will be present at the upcoming Winter Games has sparked confusion and concern in Italy.

To get one of these coveted spots for an all-expense-paid trip to the Olympics to work "security", all ICE agents have to do is execute one American citizen.
