Think of how bad things must be for a Supreme Court Justice to feel he has to explain why it's a good idea to have laws enacted by legislators instead of decreed by wannabe dictators

When Trump was asked whether the SCOTUS justices who voted against him on tariffs will still be invited to the State of the Union address next week, he said "yes, but barely” and then he added that he couldn't care less whether they attended.

He's a toddler. Who is dying. Who has the nuclear codes.

Thanks to a crucial Supreme Court decision on its shadow docket that authorized immigration officers to racially profile people they thought might be undocumented, Operation Metro Surge saw officers target anyone — citizen or not — who wasn’t white for questioning, detention or, in many cases, brutal treatment. ICE began going door-to-door in predominantly minority neighborhoods to ask where residents were born, sometimes dragging them out of their homes at gunpoint. Officers indiscriminately fired pepper spray and tear gas at residents, including into the car of a family, hospitalizing a baby.

“What that did was have an incredibly chilling effect on how people move about our communities,” said Richard Carlbom, chairman of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party. “There are U.S. citizens who are Black, brown or Asian who won’t leave their house and we have to deliver food to them on a weekly basis because they’re afraid of being detained.”

One of my biggest fears about the midterms is that ICE could flood the polls with agents who perform Kavanaugh Stops on every non-white person before they get a chance to cast a ballot, then detain them until voting is over. Which is not far-fetched at this point. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-po...

Since Trump's return to office, here's a list of those targeted by his administration The DOJ's unsuccessful attempt to indict six members of Congress is the latest salvo in what critics call a campaign of retribution on the part of Trump's administration.

Yup, I made the list. #RedBadgeOfCourage

The administration says these actions are "driven by law and not by politics."

I have a bridge for sale if anyone is interested. 🤣

No surprise but the unprofessionalism of ODNI continues. Despite repeated requests by @wbaidlaw.bsky.social for DNI Gabbard to follow lawful whistleblower process, we did not receive guidance on how to proceed to Congress.

So now we create our own path.

I’m glad Jeffries came out swinging on this one.
Trump is an unrepentant racist and his posts should not be normalized.

New reaction from Leader Jeffries to the racist Trump video:

"This disgusting video posted by the so-called president was done intentionally. Fuck Donald Trump and his vile, racist, and malignant behavior. This guy is an unhinged bottom feeder."

The Washington Post Dies in Daylight Civic vandalism and the mutilation of a great paper.

“If a newspaper’s publisher makes a bunch of decisions that lose money, and then the owner keeps the publisher while firing the staff who puts out the paper—none of this is really about the money, is it?”

Redistricting did not turn out how Trump wanted. So, now he is resorting to political prosecutions, ballot seizures and the threat of federal paramilitary to steal the 2026 midterms. He is normalizing the idea that his administration will take over ballot counting. We cannot let that happen.

Karoline Leavitt said today that Trump believes in The Constitution. No, he doesn't. He has no beliefs. He is pure self. A smorgasbord of impulses and cravings - for wealth, power, adoration, grandiosity, vengeance. He's one giant id. A parasite. A pathological abomination.

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.

Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.

The cruelty is endless.

If you want a guess as to what Kevin Warsh -- who throughout the Obama years was a devout hawk -- told the President to win the job of Fed Chair, I think this clip might give you a sense of it. (This is from late October.)

The protection racket regime Bondi's letter puts the quiet part on paper.

"Bondi is a buffoon for sending this letter, but it represents nothing less than a complete fracturing of federalism. The administration is saying in no uncertain terms that it will rain violence, financial deprivation, and sham investigations on a state unless it does what Trump wants."
