New polling says Jasmine Crockett has the best chances to beat Ken Paxton in Texas.

The โ€œshe canโ€™t winโ€ crowd might want to start updating their talking points because the voters know whatโ€™s up.

The depth of the Supreme Courtโ€™s corruption has forced us to find new language to describe its actions.

We say the Court โ€œstruck downโ€ these tariffs. But that wording is inadequate and misleading. These tariffs were always transparently illegal.

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

Gov. Gavin Newsom is demanding immediate tariff refund checks for all Americans after the Supreme Court ruled that Trump's tariffs are illegal.

โ€œDonald Trump should return that money immediately. He has an obligation.โ€

At the end of the day, when every dollar of the massive slush fund of taxpayer money Republicans appropriated to DHS in 2025 is audited, we will find it to be the largest govt fraud scandal in history. In addition to ICE reforms, it will more than justify this shutdown.

This. Today's ruling is primarily a multidimensional failure of the judicial branch, not really its robustness in the face of authoritarianism. This should never have been a SCOTUS case in the first place, & it shouldn't have taken over a year to get here.

A point Iโ€™ve been making a lot is that the tariffs are 1) the policy most personally important to Trump 2) the least popular policy with the American people according to polling 3) substantively destructive and incoherent 4) genuinely opposed by large swaths of conservative constituencies.

Do not let Brett Kavanaugh's increasingly reactionary politics distract you from the simpler fact that Brett Kavanaugh is a dullard and a shitty writer whose colleagues all (albeit for different reasons) very obviously have nothing but contempt for him
