In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court decided national injunctions by district courts “likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has granted federal courts.”

It’s mourning in America.

The moral arc of the universe is being bent back toward injustice.

*Biden tries to forgive student loans*
SCOTUS: Whoa there, that is, uh, a major question. Which means you can't do it.

*Trump revokes part of the constitution*
SCOTUS: Obviously, we got to give the President the benefit of the doubt on this one.

Supreme Court Rules 6-3 To Open Evil Tomb Of Batibat WASHINGTON—Despite polls that show the American public overwhelmingly supports keeping the ancient burial chamber sealed, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 Friday to pry open the evil tomb of Batibat, a ven...

Supreme Court Rules 6-3 To Open Evil Tomb Of Batibat

It’s pretty startling that it’s become a feature of the Roberts Court that they save the most outrageous and infuriating usurpations of the Constitution for the last day they are in session and then disappear for months onto the planes and boats of the billionaire friends safe from public scrutiny.

He’s probably on one to Jeff Bezos’s wedding as we speak

How Trump Upended 60 Years of Civil Rights in Two Months

I've covered race for two decades. I knew the 2nd Trump Admin would be dangerous for civil rights. Yet the collapse of the federal civil rights architecture and national will to address racial inequality and work on integration is stunning. Here's my latest. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/m...

Note to media:
“Trump says” is not a story. He says A LOT. He lies a lot. Do some sifting, discerning, contextualizing. Otherwise it’s just stenography. And you’re embarrassing yourselves.

Please media. Educate and inform Americans.

This is bad. Republicans have fixed the contempt provision in the billionaire bailout bill so bond has to cover the costs. It can’t be $1 anymore. This will neutralize the court’s ability to hold Trump in contempt, and only rich people will be able to file injunctions against the government.

Once again, it seems to me that when a court finds the president is doing something wildly unconstitutional, it is dangerous and unhealthy that we default to “but let him keep doing it until multiple layers of review all agree.”

Put this on a billboard.

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾

MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.”

ICE: “The whole country is our property.”

No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

What happened today to a united States Senator is outrageous. And the so-called justifications from the Administration are total BS. Here’s why

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.”

This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

I prefer Senators who don’t tell people fearing losing their healthcare that they’re “going to die.”

Donald is creating a database of private personal information about every American -- literally hundreds of data points each. This is a far deeper and more dangerous breach of privacy than just about anything we've seen.

If you don’t want to take the booster don’t. But to prevent adults from having the choice is depraved.

Thread: You can see why years ago that certain members of Congress did not want then Professor Warren to head up the consumer protection agency . . .

I am trying very hard not to break things right now after seeing the Secretary of DHS indicate she doesn’t understand a legal concept so essential to the principles of a free society it dates as far back as the MAGNA CARTA.

Todd Rose knows your private opinions “It seems pretty obvious that a free society doesn’t really function if we just can’t even say what we think,” the think tank founder told Semafor.

One of the single best predictors of a functioning free society is social trust, your willingness to trust people you don’t really know.We’ve seen that plummeting. Nobody trusts the government. They don’t trust the media. Most importantly, they don’t trust each other.

NAFTA: My Front-Row Seat to the Race to the Bottom…

Let me tell you what NAFTA looked like from the inside—because I lived it. Americans didn’t just lose jobs to Mexico, jobs were lost to China too.

When it was ratified in 1994, I was the head designer at a company called Z Cavaricci.

A late note on Judge Howell’s ruling striking down the Perkins Coie exec order. Key point is in 1st sentence: “No American President has ever before issued executive orders like the [this] one.” Trump apologists can change the subject or stay silent, but can’t deny she’s right. ...

The top 1% own 40% of stocks, while the bottom 40% of Americans own almost none.

Stop measuring the health of the economy by how well the stock market is doing, and start measuring it by how well working families can afford food, housing, healthcare and education.

REPORTER: Amazon will soon display a number next to the price of each product that shows how much the Trump tariffs are adding. Isn't that a perfect demonstration that it's the American consumer who is paying for these policies?

LEAVITT: This is a hostile and political act by Amazon.

It’s nice to be at #EGU25 with people that take science seriously, but it’s also weird to be here when science is under assault in the US. I’m currently in a talk by a NASA climate scientist who wasn’t allowed to attend the meeting and the talk had to be given by a Norwegian colleague. 😩
