Feel free to sit on your ass! Just don't pretend that your lazy apathy is somehow going to advance your agenda.

It's probably time to stop using the term "independent federal agencies." There is no such thing any more (notwithstanding a possible SCOTUS carve-out for the Federal Reserve).

Pete Hegseth just murdered more people and we have to take his word for it that they deserved it.

Powell: "Higher tariffs are pushing up prices in some categories of goods, resulting in higher overall inflation."

Supreme Court seems unsure how to proceed in case about whether Trump can deploy National Guard in Illinois. Asks for additional briefing:

Language is a crucial part of identity — that’s why empires always destroy it first. Being able not only to use it but also to see it in the media is vital for small nations. Read the thread about what’s happening now with the only independent Crimean Tatar newspaper in Crimea 👇

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.
