I know he fell asleep at his desk earlier, but his lawyers are working really, really hard for the right to starve your family.

So it’s an emergency to put on tariffs that make your food more expensive, but not an emergency to fund SNAP that makes your food cheaper. Great, got it.

The White House’s interest in not being razed is ultimately an interest in not becoming a beautiful ballroom, the best ballroom, one that many have tried but not gotten done. That is not an especially weighty legal interest. Kavanaugh, J. , concurring

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

And, strangely, none of them had the power to stop their own prosecutions before they were actually tried. Would've been nice for their attorneys to have in the ole back pocket.

He sent a mob to destroy Congress and took a bulldozer to the White House, and that’s extremely relevant context for any Supreme Court analysis this term.

POLITICO: β€œ.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and β€˜the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Perfectly reasonable take and an important discussion to have. But given that he has and will continue to claim that TDS is behind every ruling, even the most buttoned up, I think it may serve many purposes, legal, non-legal, historical, etc., to have a few of these in the ether.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.

I’m reposting all the Russ crossbar jokes, I know it’s unbecoming of a 1-2 team averaging like 18 points and 12 penalties a game, but we need this and he played in Denver, so whatever.

John Roberts's "there's no such thing as corruption" and "the president has the right to use the DOJ as his personal law firm" jurisprudence is really working out well for us.

β€œThe government sometimes makes brief, investigative stops to check the immigration status of those who gather in locations where people are hired for day jobs such as construction, landscaping, agriculture or car washes…and who do not speak much if any English.”

Don’t mean to make everything about the Supreme Court, but:

There’s an undecided petition AT THIS VERY MOMENT, sitting on the shadow docket, asking the nine to allow ICE to racially profile people who look Latino, speak Spanish, are day laborers, or else work in low-wage service jobs.

This one:
