Analysis: Trump again makes John Roberts and the court look weak | CNN Politics Chief Justice John Roberts has been outmatched by President Donald Trump in the fight over the administration’s wrongful deportation of a Maryland man to El Salvador.

Not for a second did or does Trump make Roberts or the Supreme Court look weak.

They've done that all by themselves.

Get out of the way @schumer.senate.gov .

Your tired, middle of the road, "leadership" is going to cost us the mids.

I find being called woke about as offensive as being called a libtard, snowflake, Dumbocrat, etc.

None of those are offensive to me, especially when I consider the sources.

With FEMA on the chopping block what will happen to Fire Departments that depend on SAFER grants to buy specialized equipment and personnel costs.
Volunteer agencies in Rural America may dry up.
There will be pain felt for every agency that depends on those dollars and people will unnecessarily die.

Trump: I could declassify documents by thinking about it The former president insisted in an interview with Sean Hannity that the documents at issue in the Mar-a-Lago probe were all declassified. Evidence, he added, isn’t really needed.

Remember this?
The great "I think it so it is"?

Definitely a #Signal of things to come.

How Europeans are reacting to the Yemen war plans group chat In Europe, there's now a sense of a "broken relationship" in discovering "the extent of American hostility," one French analyst says. "But like in love, there is life after a breakup."

I am certain our European allies understand that the majority of voters in the USA voted for people other than Trump to be president and that Trump and his sycophants hold the minority view in the USA.

Unlike our leader they understand unity and are not idiots.

In 2016 JD Vance posted Trump was an idiot.

Less than 2 weeks ago Vance on Signal

From @aljazeera.com:

"The strongest reason to do this is, as POTUS said, to send a message. I am not sure the president is aware how inconsistent this is with his message on Europe right now.

Nothing better than fresh tuna for your tacos.

Rupert Murdoch must find his support if Trump to be difficult to spin.

Quote of the year from Pete Hegseth: "We are currently clean on OPSEC".

This is one of the very few times I actually believe @donaldjtrump-maga.bsky.social .

Of course he doesn't know anything about it, he's an idiot who hires idiots.

Fascinating what occurs with these people, the theoretical best and brightest.

And on Signal, of all things.

Daughter of 1st Black Marine says it's 'unbelievable' to see 'my dad caught up in DEI' Alfreda Masters said she finds it "unbelievable" that the webpage honoring her father's service has been taken down as a part of DEI scrubbing at the Pentagon.

This is all president Musk and his puppet ( ok, Putin's puppet, too ) Trump.

Advice for feds who took the ‘fork in the road’ resignation offer "As long as this continues, I think federal employees will see really no change in their benefits," said Alan Lescht.

From a labor standpoint ( decades long union member ) this would concern me deeply if I took the offer without already having the necessary time on the books to actually be vested.

That doesn't seem like a small deal.

Considering Roberts was principal in giving Trump a free pass that would be a miracle.

This is why Kamala Harris really lost Turnout among young people and immigrants was too high for the party’s own good, according to Democratic data analyst David Shor.

This is a fascinating article.

I surely hope the Democrats is paying attention.

As of now the party seems to be imploding.

Reading about tax cuts from the prior Trump admin, C-19, off-shoring profits, tax breaks on income declared as capital gains, stock buybacks
My education was not adequate for this

This is why oligarchs have corps of educated people shuffling money around the globe

I better get up to speed

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social should have had courage like @aoc.bsky.social did and spoken truth.

He should step down for someone ready to lead, not diffuse if he can't do so.
If he issues a mea culpa and says outright that @chuckschumerfp.bsky.social lied and then blew it I'd be OK with that.

‘We’re going to talk about death today – your death’: a doctor on what it’s like to end a life rather than extend one I used to focus on maternity and newborn care, but when Canada legalised assisted dying in 2016, I began helping people with a different transition

What an incredibly powerful story.

@5calls.org

Can you make a call prompt for a campaign to the DNC to pull any future campaign funds from any Democrat that
voted for this budget bill?

Not all of them are lame ducks.

We need the DNC to quit catering to this philosophy of rolling over on our backs as if Dems get paid to do so.

I'm not sure what influence you have with @5calls.org but we need a massive call campaign to the DNC to withhold any future campaign funds from these losers that voted for this funding bill.
