Standing doctrine, like every other fucking part of the law, is a lie we tell poor people.

There is no budget "deal" to be made President Trump has so broken the constitutional framework as to make joint normal, responsible government impossible.

If appropriations bills are not seen as enforceable contracts, why should any Member of Congress vote to fund any part of the federal government under Donald Trump? You're voting to provide money for lawlessness. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...

Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

Cops misled journalists about using a powerful surveillance tool to track a woman across state lines because she had an abortion, then tried to cover it up when we found out the truth. Huge story from @jasonkoebler.bsky.social and @josephcox.bsky.social this morning: www.404media.co/police-said-...

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

Claim: rioters attacked ICE
Truth: ICE rushed at unarmed protesters standing on a patch of grass

When you meet someone who has ever worked for the Alliance Defending Freedom, you just met a real piece of shit.

You’ll be shocked to learn that, as always, everything police say is a fucking lie.

Authoritarian governments sending troops drawn from the ordinary population to repress said population and then *not paying* those troops is definitely a thing that has gone well, historically. A+ dictator performance Donny

unless you're a woman running for president, in which case you did everything wrong. 2016 and 2024 have radicalized me in ways I'm still contending with

The only thing anyone needs to know about Bari Weiss is that she first came to national attention trying to get a Middle East Studies professor at Columbia fired for anti-Israel views, and yet somehow huge amounts of the US media elite think she is committed to "free speech" and "heterodoxy."

Outdated and Dangerous Antiquated laws from the 1700s and 1800s give the president tremendous power to use the military at home to quash protests and order mass arrests in times of war and domestic upheaval.

Outdated laws from the 1700s and 1800s give the president tremendous power to use the military at home. It’s past time for Congress to repeal the Alien Enemies Act, close loopholes in the Posse Comitatus Act, and reform the Insurrection Act. bit.ly/4oxXJLN

Reminder that all you need to do to get a job in tech is to be a white guy that murders someone on the subway. You need no other qualifications to work in this business. None at all. Just like you don't need to be a journalist if you want to run CBS News. It's not a requirement.

Remembering when Chris Rufo insisted that Disney was a thoroughly corrupt institution because it had a small number of employees arrested on CSAM and sex trafficking charges and I replied, well, let's use that standard for Republicans, and he blocked me before I could finish the thread.

Comedians only come in two flavors. Bill Hicks talking about Jay Leno, and Jay Leno being talked about by Bill Hicks.

CHOOSE, you fucks.

As a retired US Navy vet, if you are ordered to invade US homes, break their doors, zip-tie kids? - and you do that? YOu should read up on Neuremberg because those are NOT lawful orders, and you should be fucking ashamed of yourselves. Your families shoulid be ashamed of you. Stand the fuck up.

I guess it would be a tidy form of narrative closure if the first Republican president (Lincoln) saved the union by sending federal troops into states while the last Republican president broke the union by sending federal troops into the states.

I stand behind this:
Every time a Democrat says “bipartisan,” it harms the whole party — harms every other D candidate for any office. Because it harms the party brand.

It would be like Apple running ads touting how “bipartisan” it is with the Chinese Communist Party.

You head out. Tired. Wet. Angry. You're ready to crack some heads. The protesters across the street are wearing big, inflatable animal costumes. Cute ones. You immediately picture what the TikTok of you beating on one of these people would look like. You miss your wife.

fellas, it is "woke" to point out when the administration is violating most of the Bill of Rights

Regime grabs immigration lawyer's phone at Logan A federal judge today ordered Customs and Homeland Security to keep their mitts off a phone their agents grabbed last week from an immigration lawyer returning to Logan Airport from a trip to Aruba, a...

ICE and CBP agents seized the phone of an immigration lawyer at Logan Airport while he was returning from vacation even though—let's face it, probably *because*—the phone contains privileged information about his clients.

The best time to have spun down DHS was Jan 20, 2009. The second best is right now.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

This dangerous piece of shit should have been put in prison

I’m telling you: ridicule works. These guys are supposed to intimidate the citizenry and it’s very hard to do that when a guy in a frog suit is just staring you down and daring you to do something that makes it look like you’re afraid of a cartoon

Jasmine Crockett: “Stop believing the lies they are putting out there. The only person that is harming you right now is the old white nepo baby that is sitting in the White House that is causing all the destruction, pain, and problems you are enduring”

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.
