Great and underrated movie. Total 80’s vibe.

Infographic titled “One Court, Two Standards” compares how the Supreme Court used emergency powers to rule on lower-court injunctions against the Biden and Trump administrations. Two panels show: • Biden Administration: Lower courts blocked policies in 21 cases. All 21 cases are represented by red squares, indicating that 0% of injunctions/TROs were lifted by SCOTUS. • Trump Administration: Lower courts blocked policies in 86 cases. 66 green squares and 20 red squares show that 77% of injunctions/TROs were lifted by SCOTUS. Key takeaway box below reads: “Using its ‘shadow docket,’ the Supreme Court granted emergency relief to lift 77% of lower-court injunctions against the Trump administration. It lifted 0% of those against the Biden administration.” Sources and notes below include: CourtListener data through July 7, 2025; analysis by Adam Bonica.

The Supreme Court’s “shadow docket” has cast very different shadows depending on which party holds the White House.

When lower courts blocked Trump admin policies, SCOTUS intervened on an emergency basis to lift those orders in 77% of cases.

For the Biden administration, that number was 0%.

A photo of selling your soul for ambition.

First they came for the crocs, and I said nothing…

It might now be ok to say this again? You are possibly the whitest man in America. ; )

Just for the record: fuck these govt lawyers. Talk about the wrong side of history.

For their sake I hope they’re sociopaths like trump or they’re going to have a hard time sleeping and explaining this to their descendants.

I guess I don’t follow many people that have such assholes following them. This is bizarre. The trolling/hater culture is so weird. Never understood it. If you don’t like someone just don’t follow. It’s such a weird/angry hobby.

This is not hopeful, it’s terrifying. This country seems screwed with or without him. I hope I’m wrong.

Do you play Adam?

I just follow the bulwark folks and a few others and it feels just like twitter but not as annoying. But I’m not famous so maybe that’s it.

YouTube video by MSNBC ‘Who voted for this?’: Trump guts funding for kids history contest

Seriously, who voted for this?

Here’s wishing you the bluest sky…

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

And to be honest I’m amazed that Tim has never used it on the bulwark pod playlist. Should have been the very first song after Charlie stepped down.

My favorite of all of his songs. And that’s saying something. The single greatest song about America ever written. THE quintessential American song - at least until now.

For about a year in 1986 we rented this on vhs almost every week (along with the actual vhs machine at first). The best.

I’m sort of shocked at how shocked people are that a bunch of lawyers show no spine. Has nobody else been hearing greedy lawyer jokes their entire lives?

It is utterly fucking bonkers that the VP of the United States held a press conference on the soil of another country, declared his intent to take over that country, and implicitly threatened military force if that country didn’t comply.

As a lifelong denverite and nuggets fan I can’t believe we got so lucky. Top five players of all time. Crazy to think but I think he might be underrated.

It’s absolutely incredible (and hilariously silly) that a dislike of Duke players from 39 years ago - I’m 49 years old - still lingers in the subconscious. Although always rooting for the underdog these days.

This cannot come soon enough.

Here's a simple test of the seriousness of the Republican national security massive incompetence:

If this were a campaign, and a campaign manager invited a journalist into a high-level strategy text chat, every Republican would fire their campaign manager immediately.

But Sec of Defense?

Or Cuban/buttigieg?

What about a Shapiro/mayor Pete ticket?

Delusion.

Indeed. Bulwark moderate here and I’m pissed.

Despite my being on blue sky I’m a bulwark-ian moderate and even I’m super confused by what the hell you’re doing.
