3 Questions:

1) What are we doing?
2) How is this pro-life?
3) What are we doing?

Donald Trump Jr-backed start-up scores $600mn US federal government deal Presidentโ€™s sonโ€™s fund 1789 Capital poised to capitalise from fatherโ€™s administration

The whole play of Trumpism: convincing working class people to blame other working class peopleโ€”so billionaires can keep robbing us all.

Koh: This is not about justice. This is about power. This is about a Secretary of Defense so drunk off alpha male bullshit that he's willing to take lives to get off on that power.

This SCOTUS is an indelible stain on every state and federal judge who takes their oath to uphold the constitution seriously.

Agree with this thread. Worth reading in full.

25 years ago John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, and AC Barrett all worked on GWBush's 2000 Florida recount team. What they're doing now is, if anything, more nakedly partisan.

Fire-breathing dissent by Kagan, with Sotomayor and Jackson.

I wouldn't put it past this court to let Texas's maps stand, and then rule against California's, which were passed by the voters.

There's no rational case they could make for ruling that way, but they don't bother to make a case anymore, they just use the shadow docket for illegitimate rulings.

JFC!
MS NOW just reported that Pete Hogsex just authorized & carried out ANOTHER strike on another boat tonight. They are not backing off. They are intentionally poking us in the eye. Consequences are essential or we're going to lose control of the military all together.

The goal is normalization.

I don't think the Justices understand the extent to which they are playing with fire. The more they do this, the more District Courts will engage in open disrespect of the Supreme Court, because what other response is there to open disrespect directed at them? That's bad for the Judiciary, period.

WTF are we even talking about here? Justifying the murder of two fisherman (total 11?), alleged drug traffickers, struck by missiles, boat overturned and on fire, literally hanging on for life.
This while trump just pardoned a drug trafficker sentenced to 45 years!

happened at about 11pm. Drones missed it.Irelandโ€™s security services have found that the drones in the Irish Sea were large, hugely expensive, of military specification, and that the incident could be classed as a hybrid attack. - the journal writes

FOUR UNIDENTIFIED MILITARY-STYLE drones breached a no-fly zone and flew towards the flight path of Ukrainian president Zelenskyyโ€™s plane at sea near Dublin Airport late on Monday night, The Journal reported.

The plane landed, slightly ahead of schedule, just moments before the incident

Kagan on the majority's dismissal of the lower court's review: "We are a higher court than the District Court, but we are not a better one when it comes to making such a fact-based decision."

The majority in an unsigned order says: "The District Court improperly inserted itself into an active primary campaign, causing much confusion and upsetting the delicate federal-state balance in elections."

Kagan in dissent: "The majority today loses sight of its proper role."

Silicon Valleyโ€™s Man in the White House Is Benefiting Himself and His Friends

More grift. Trump's AI "Czar" โ€” the guy in charge of this Administration's AI policy โ€” is reported to have hundreds of investments in AI-related ventures.

This is just the latest example of the Trump Administration using its power to benefit themselves and their inner-sanctum of billionaires.

For a little under an hour โ€” 41 minutes, according to a separate US official โ€” Bradley and the rest of the US military command center discussed what to do as they watched the men struggle to overturn what was left of their boat, the sources said.

Ultimately, Bradley told lawmakers, he ordered a second strike to destroy the remains of the vessel, killing the two survivors, on the grounds that it appeared that part of the vessel remained afloat because it still held cocaine, according to one of the sources. The survivors could hypothetically have floated to safety, been rescued, and carried on with trafficking the drugs, the logic went.

NEW: The IG report on SignalGate is out. Hegseth sent classified information out on an unclassified Signal chat and put our troops in harms way. Hegseth says he retroactively "declassified" it so it doesn't count. You can read the findings here: media.defense.gov/2025/Dec/04/...

Kennedyโ€™s Methodical 2-Decade Quest to Dismantle Vaccine Policy

Important new piece by my colleagues Sheryl Gay Stolberg and Christina Jewett who cover Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his two-decade quest to dismantle U.S. vaccine policy--regardless of the advice from medical professionals or the health implications.

President Trump has now pardoned 12 members of Congress convicted of crimes varying from tax evasion, campaign corruption, lying to the FBI, bribery, insider trading, obstruction, etc.

If Jeff Epstein were alive today, heโ€™d be a free man in Trumpโ€™s America.

Costco demands a refund from Trump The mega-retailer is suing to get its tariff money back.

"As with so much of what has gone wrong in the past 10 months (or years), this chaos can be laid squarely at feet of SCOTUS. Here, theyโ€™ve allowed him to continue collecting hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs despite multiple lower courts ruling it's patently illegal." โ€” @lizdye.bsky.social
