If there was one thing I would have thought the current Supreme Court majority was against, it would be assigning voters to districts based on race. But today's Texas decision seems to veer into a "eh, it happens" mode. /1

Just another day ending in “Y” for Trump’s DOJ.

YouTube video by ABC News FULL PRESSER: AG Bondi said RNC and DNC pipe bomb arrest the result of ‘good, diligent police work’

Pipe bomber confusion: At about 22:10, FBI’s Dan Bongino twice refers to “tip” that came in, despite AG Bondi saying there was no tip. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKU_...

"There's just no way to get away from the fact that the United States killed two individuals who were shipwrecked and in massive distress." Rep. Jim Himes cuts through the excuses about the second strike on the survivors of a boat blown up by the U.S.

Of course. Trump cut a deal so Putin gets Europe and Xi gets Asia. Simple as that.

They ALL need to go.

LOL, appealing straight to the tech bros of the world.

Newsom kills it with his trolling.

“The more we know, the greater our ability to create a just world. If truth didn’t matter, elites wouldn’t try so hard to suppress it. So I’ll keep telling the truth, hard as it is to hear, and hard as it is to write.”

Yes, please. And thank you for it.

If any single decision ever made the case for SCOTUS reform, this would be one.

Libraries and museums get federal funding back after Trump cuts Earlier this year, the Trump administration gutted the Institute of Museum and Library Services, leading to canceled federal grants. Now, after a court order, those grants are being reinstated.

Oh thank god.

Exclusive: Survivors clinging to capsized boat didn’t radio for backup, admiral overseeing double-tap strike tells lawmakers | CNN Politics The two men killed as they floated holding onto their capsized boat in a secondary strike against a suspected drug vessel in early September did not appear to have radio or other communications device...

🚨🚨🚨This collapses the one 'argument' Hegseth had against it being a war crime:

"The two men killed as they floated holding onto their capsized boat .. DID NOT APPEAR TO HAVE RADIO OR OTHER COMMUNICATIONS DEVICES, the top military official overseeing the strike told lawmakers."

I believe it’s called the “gusher up” economy.

On Dec. 4, at the direction of @SecWar Pete Hegseth, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel in international waters operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization. Intelligence confirmed that the vessel was carrying illicit narcotics and transiting along a known narco-trafficking route in the Eastern Pacific. Four male narco-terrorists aboard the vessel were killed. #OpSouthernSpear

The U.S. government continues to kill people for the amusement of the President and other members of his administration.

Yep, the Supreme Court really is just a House of Lords—a purely political branch with bizarre veto power, wielded capriciously and without accountability. Time for massive reform.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

Just sickening. I hope Johnson is up soon on the list of Trump’s supporters to be thrown under the bus.

JUST NOW: Van Epps immediately sworn in by Speaker Johnson, vows to support and defend the constitution*

(* = whatever Trump tells him to)

There's a pattern here.

When Trump calls out individuals or groups as undesirable, as anti-American, he’s doing precisely what he always does and is really really good at, projecting. There is not a more un-American individual on this entire planet than Donald J Trump.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: The Somali community is almost universally American citizens. They're part of our family here in Minneapolis. To just go after a whole community indiscriminately, it's unconstitutional. It's flat out un-American. I guess that's what we've become accustomed to with Trump

It took them this long to find a suitable patsy, you know, a Democrat or a Never Trump Republican, with bonus points if they are gay, trans or an immigrant.

Trump didn't drain the swamp. He pardoned the swamp.

Trump invites America's wealthiest to fund his presidency Private donors are bankrolling Trump projects and policies on an unprecedented scale.

Trump is allowing the wealthiest Americans to bankroll his projects and policies on a scale unmatched by any previous administration.

It raises serious concerns about whether the president is serving the American public or the people writing the checks.

Total dicktator move.

Trump Renames Institute of Peace for Himself

Total dictator move.

Exclusive | Hegseth Asked Top Admiral to Resign After Months of Discord The relationship between the Pentagon chief and Adm. Alvin Holsey had been rocky since Trump’s inauguration.

Wow, Adm. Holsey didn't leave of his own accord, Hegseth pushed him out. What looked like the SOCOM head resigning rather than do war crimes now looks like SecDef canning him to facilitate war crimes.

Congress should have him testify, and would've already if war-crime-sympathetic GOP didn't run it.
