Canada-Not For Sale

Title: Both Liberal and Conservative Judges Rule Against Trump Description: A scatter plot showing the rulings of judges against or in favor of Trump, categorized by ideology using the DIME score. The x-axis represents Judge Ideology (DIME Score), ranging from liberal (-1) to conservative (1), and the y-axis represents the case outcome (against or for Trump). • Blue dots represent liberal judges, purple dots represent moderate judges, and red dots represent conservative judges. • Some judges are labeled, including Rudolph Contreras, Lauren King, John Coughenour, and James Emanuel Boasberg on the liberal to moderate side, and Carl Nichols, Richard J. Leon, and Joseph N. Laplante on the conservative side. • A note mentions that Boasberg, though slightly right-leaning, was initially appointed by George W. Bush. • The visualization suggests that judges from both ideological backgrounds ruled against Trump.

1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.

Donald not wanting to pay foreign aid that was already appropriated was not an “emergency” justifying immediate Supreme Court intervention. Now Presidential Immunity on the other hand… now THAT should have been a fucking emergency!

The wretchedly corrupt Supreme Court is fine with letting people starve and die.

Bezos shut down the Washington Post editorial page today.

There’s no reason to read anything that’s just a dictate from a Trumpist billionaire. The Post editorial page is now as good—that is, as useless—as state-sponsored media.

A disgrace the paper will never outlive.

NEW: Federal judge DENIES Trump administration request to implement the birthright citizenship-ending EO during appeal.

"[T]his was not a close case," Judge Sorokin reminded the government in denying DOJ's request, noting that the administration had lost the at the injunction phase "lopsidedly."

ICYMI, today the WH Press Secretary announced she and her cronies will pick the WH Press Pool from now on. She assured major media it would still be allowed to participate—the "for now" was implicit—but said New Media will also be chosen.

I will be astonished if a single left-winger is ever tapped.

This hits hard…

“Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.”

You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.

Is the legacy media going to do anything? Or is this it?

Hero

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court."

This Fourth Estate--what is this Fourth Estate that you speak of? Other than a few indepedent media outlets here and there, I am amazed at the eunuch brigade we have in newsrooms. They are just allowing their power to be run over roughshod while their billionaire owners laugh and sneer at democracy.

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

Trump is a disgusting human. He should be in prison. The American people should be embarrassed with this goon being in the Oval office!
Come on boys, let's do this!

Opinion | Pete Hegseth Is the Secretary of Defense We Deserve If you thought the former TV host would be asked important questions at the confirmation hearings this week, you must be living under the illusion that we live in a serious country.

My feeling is that it's not unserious to spend time on the question of whether someone about to be hired for one of the most powerful jobs in the world drugged and raped a woman (as she alleges and he denies)
