Ohhh my...

Democracy was built on the idea that each branch of government would check the other. Yesterday, that founding principle took a hit. But the fight isn’t over.

Remember Collins and Murkowski could have stopped this. People who lose healthcare coverage will die because of them

Susan Collins could stop this she won’t. Along with her votes on justices who took away Roe she has arguably done more to harm America than any single senator.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson predicts that executive power in the United States will become completely uncontainable that our constitutional republic will cease to exist. I couldn’t agree more with her. Fuck you to everyone who voted for the US version of North Korea.

This should be a constitutional requirement, in addition to not being an insurrectionist.

Goodbye, my friend.

I just did the math, and yes, this checks out.

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social on his $787 million lawsuit against Fox: "It's a defamation lawsuit... Their news organization, from John Roberts to Jesse Watters, knowingly misstated facts... It was so blatant, so gratuitous that I felt compelled to push back against this propaganda network."

Our land is not for sale!!

One way you know that KBJ is having an impact is that White’s Only Law Twitter can’t stop talking about her today, even though they won everything. Also because Amy Barrett was huffing and puffing about her in her majority opinion, while playing nice with Sotomayor

Projection—every waking hour, day in, day out.

People freaking out about having a socialist in the NYC mayoral residence but OK with having a fascist in the White House.

Justice Jackson did not come to play today (Birthright citizenship/nationwide injunctions)

“Racial profiling”: The Supreme Court paved the way for Trump’s executive order restricting birthright citizenship to soon take effect in some parts of the country. The Weeknight hosts and panel weigh in.

We’ve talked about “Alligator Alcatraz” before. Here are more details. Starting the first week of July, when South Florida’s heat index regularly hits 100°F, they plan to detain up to 5,000 people in tents. No A/C. No real shelter. Just suffocating heat, choking humidity, and swarms of mosquitoes.

Mark and Melissa lie peacefully at the center of our state and our hearts today. Their memorial, guarded by service dogs and men and women in uniform, casts a momentary shadow over L'Étoile du Nord as we honor their life’s work to make Minnesota shine brighter for all.

If Jeff Bezos can afford to rent Venice for a $50 million wedding, he can afford to pay his fair share in taxes.

No child or person should have to go hungry especially in a country that supports foreign military armaments in the hundreds of billions of dollars yearly! Every child must be provided with Free breakfast and lunch daily! www.huffpost.com/entry/scarle...

To the so-called Democratic “leadership,” here’s a little free advice…courtesy of Iron Maiden: “If you’re gonna die… die with your boots on.” Stop tiptoeing like cowards in bedroom slippers. Fight like you mean it…or get out of the way. You have left so many options and strategies on the table.

Senator Murphy coming out of private briefing on the attack on Iran’s nuclear sites: It still appears that we have only set back the Iranian nuclear program by a handful of months… the allegations that we have obliterated their program just don’t seem to stand up…

The number of manifestly psychologically unwell people in the highest levels of this administration should be unsettling to the world.

“Is there any sign of life?” “Have we heard a heartbeat?” “Does she feel any kicking?” “We don’t have the equipment to do that.” That’s the full 911 audio from a nurse inside an ICE detention center near Denver, calling for help as a four-months-pregnant woman bled and cried out in pain.

NOT A SINGLE DEMOCRATIC SENATOR should confirm Emil Bove for the 3d Circuit Court of Appeals.

Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!

James: His critics said that he should wait his turn. His critics said that he did not have the experience. His critics said they did not have the right name. Well, now all of them know his god damn name.

I know this is going to surprise everyone but President Big Mac and his legion of incompetent brown shirts did not, in fact, manage to secure a viable ceasefire. Let's hear it for the pathetic "we demand a Nobel Peace Prize" idiots on cable news.
