Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson sharply criticized the Supreme Court for being quick to issue rulings that have temporarily allowed some of President Trump’s controversial policies to stand while legal challenges against them play out in the courts. https://wapo.st/4s2Wiqg

I know it's not much compared to this war, but we're now also spending $650 million a month just on the *interest* accruing on the tariff refund money that Trump is stalling on paying back.

Remember when W. Bush ran for President against Gore and reporters scattered across the country asking voters which candidate they would like to have a beer with? Yeah, this is that.

Trump Went to War With Iran Because Jared Kushner Is a Fool Donald Trump’s top two negotiators have no clue what they’re doing.

Kushner and Witkoff are ignorant hacks, part 245,699.

"Several nuclear experts have raised questions about the disastrous duo’s technical understanding of uranium enrichment after they presented an assessment of Iran’s Research Reactor that made no sense."

Not 500. Not 6. The current number of soldiers killed is 7; an additional soldier died from a medical event, according to the military. Total deaths = 8.

Yes, they’ve trivialized antisemitism by using it to mean things that they don’t like, like college campuses, enabling them to be actual antisemites while avoiding criticism.

How many Trump EOs have been implemented and are now being challenged in Court? The legal process takes time and unless an injunction is issued the Executive Order remains in effect. I understand that Presidential guidance in the form of an EO is not law, but Trump’s underlings enforce them anyway.

What do you think the SAVE Act is other than massive voter suppression? If it does not pass, what will he do next, if not cancel elections with an EO, claiming that elections are no longer secure?

The Desire for Terror And the defense of democracy

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or “federalize” the coming Congressional elections.
