Supreme Court conservatives were united against Biden. Here’s why they split against Trump. | CNN Politics The spirited back-and-forth may explain why the tariffs case took months for the court to resolve, and it exposed rifts that could prove meaningful for Trump as well as future presidents.

I am shocked, SHOCKED to discover that the major questions doctrine is just a convenient excuse for outcome-oriented jurisprudence.

I am sure not even @lemieuxlgm.bsky.social could have predicted this, except I'm pretty sure he did.

When a #TNGOP politician pops off online, remind them:

Under one-party rule in TN, housing is less affordable, health coverage hit a 15-year high, electricity costs are at record levels & groceries bills are higher than ever.

Oh and workers pay a higher tax rate than billionaires.

Did Trump put Eddie Lampert in charge of the Army payroll?

Will seems like a mostly-OK guy who just has this preternatural, uncanny ability to piss off the world constantly.

"look at what they did to my tariffs"

I think he's pissed for two reasons:

1. The dumb reason. He loves tariffs. The Supreme Court took away his favorite toy.

2. The evil reason. This was at least a debatable case. If SCOTUS won't take his side on this, it seems unlikely that they'll back him on birthright citizenship (or worse).

That presidential immunity decision is looking a bit daft now.

If you actually read the economics textbook in high school, grab yourself a glow stick and a jello shot.

Business services that claim to be "powered by innovation" are pretty much just the same as every other business service, but with AI chatbots instead of real customer support.

My mission in life is to make "Baby Billy's Bible Bonkers" but with questions about civics and American politics.

This is totally not just the pitch for Family Feud, btw.

Binging "The RIghteous Gemstones", because I'm precisely the sort of person who enjoys "Christian-themed monster truck smashing an outhouse at the militia compound"

I'm aware of who Darryl Royal is but if his grandson ran for office I would probably would not automatically support him.

If they wanted to profit off of ass-kissing, they'd have made OnlyFans accounts, not a Melania documentary.

Every voter under the age of 46 will have been born after Dooley's Sugar Bowl win in 1980.

Every voter under the age of 38 (in 2026) will have been born after Dooley stepped down as UGA head coach.

I don't want to diminish the fact that Jon Ossoff is running a hard race and will need every bit of help he gets (smash that donate button), but if the entire Georgia GOP's campaign pitch is "His dad was a good coach for UGA years decades ago, also Trump!" then I think the Republicans might lose.

He's actually objectively worse than most.

He has only had one season as head coach where he finished above 0.500, and that was at Louisiana Tech in 2008.

Tuberville's an absolute chud but at least had a 13-0 season at Auburn.
