Edward Bodley

One of their best songs. Easily overlooked

really important to emphasize that roberts' view of the executive branch as comprising a single individual is literally contradicted by the text of the constitution itself

He’s trying to get the story killed because of how innocent he is.

Andreessen’s business partner’s father was David Horowitz—his MAGA turn makes a lot of sense knowing that

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

The thing to understand is that district court judges have to follow the law and Supreme Court Justices get to just make up the law.

The crisis, from the immigration raids that sparked the protests to the militarized response that tried to put the protests down, was almost entirely of Mr. Miller’s making. And it served as a testament to the remarkable position he now occupies in Mr. Trump’s Washington. Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, who reportedly accompanied Mr. Miller on his visit to ICE headquarters, seems to defer to him. “It’s really Stephen running D.H.S.,” a Trump adviser said. The attorney general, Pam Bondi, is so focused on preparing for and appearing on Fox News that she has essentially ceded control of the Department of Justice to Mr. Miller, making him, according to the conservative legal scholar Edward Whelan, “the de facto attorney general.” And in a White House where the chief of staff, Susie Wiles, is not well versed or terribly interested in policy — “She’s producing a reality TV show every day,” another Trump adviser said, “and it’s pretty amazing, right?” — Mr. Miller is typically the final word.

An unelected, unconfirmed neo-Nazi is running the government.

Steven Miller is the one ordering the arrest of innocent people. Steven Miller is the one ordering the creation of concentration camps. Steven Miller is the one sending armed paramilitaries into the streets of our nation's cities.

Once again, this is a massive public jobs program for fascists.

This bill was never just about tax cuts and gutting social services. It's about investing our collective resources in violence and using state power to spread fear and destroy solidarity. We need to resist this with all we've got.

Give it time.

Historic disgrace.

Thank you.

He proposes releasing some ICE prisoners to labor on farms where the employers will “own them” and be responsible for them.

Historians have spent decades meticulously proving the straight line between slavery and modern capitalism’s concept of the laborer—or we could just let them say it.

“La Trahison des Clercs.” The NYT is complicit.

I will very, very surprised if by the end of his term, ICE has not morphed into Trump’s personal all-purpose goon squas.

There was never a question that Hawley was anything other than a total cowardly fraud.

But is it a conscious tactic or an unconscious tell? I’ve always wondered about this. With some of these people it’s difficult to discern.

Their accusations are always confessions.

Imagine loving freedom so much you buy fan merch for a prison

This. I think we’re well past comparisons to what Orbán has done to Hungary, for example. We’re more along the lines of Germany in the 1930s.

You live in a country that is establishing concentration camps & soon will be stripping citizens of their papers.

Benny Johnson.

They’re cowards.

This is how they’ll rig elections to maintain their majority. Just like Orbán did in Hungary.

This is the totalitarianism Arendt warned about.

This will be one way they rig 2026, 2028 and beyond.

There is no bottom to this barrel.

Thom Tillis is reminding us that every Republican despises Trump, but they are all so beholden to his base that they will spend their political lives falling prostrate before him, even knowing the irreparable harm they are doing.

They are all traitorous cowards.

Let's be clear that this will be deployed not just against immigrants, but against anyone seen as providing support to immigrants.

Illegal support at first, but the definition will inevitably expand to include indirect support, mutual aid, and eventually even rhetorical support.

In effect, the Supreme Court ruled that only it could decide issues on a national level. And then, with thousands and thousands of people waiting in limbo for resolution of many legally disputed Trump orders, the justices went on summer vacation, not to return until October.
