Astonishing: Maxwell was willing to tell Blanche about some of Trump's rapes, and he ordered her not to. "Let's not talk about inviduals." WTF were they there to talk about? There's EVIDENCE on this.

Amanda Marcotte@amandamarcotte.bsky.social

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

If Democrats can reform the Supreme Court they could also: - Increase the size of the Senate with DC statehood - Increase the size of the House - Update the Voting Rights Act - Pass a federal ban on partisan congressional gerrymandering

Brian Tyler Cohen@briantylercohen.bsky.social

"When Democrats retake control of the government... we have to decide if we want to win symbolic victories and simply get caught trying or if we actually want to make permanent, meaningful change. If it’s the latter, then inherently, that requires us to expand the Supreme Court.”

I am certain absolutely no money or stock was exchanged to facilitate this reversal

The Trump administration will reverse a hastily applied export ban on AI company Anthropic’s latest technology, allowing the company to once again offer its top AI models to customers around the world.

Trump: I love the inflation, I don't think about Americans’ financial situation at all, affordability is a fake word and a hoax, I don't want to drive housing prices down.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Q: What are your plans for the housing bill? TRUMP: I don't know. I think it's so unimportant when compared to the SAVE America Act. It's very bipartisan. That means the Democrats like it.

PabloReports: Mr. Ellzey, how do House Republicans make the case for affordability when you go home to your districts now? Ellzey: Hahahahaha. Uh, you'll have to ask the people who make this happen and I'm not one of them. PabloReports: You have a trifecta: House, Senate, and White House.

This is the basis for the conservative majority finding standing in today's SCOTUS opinion striking down a key campaign finance law -- that J.D. Vance is running for Senate in 2028.

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.

The problem with charges is that the FIRST thing defense attorneys will do, even before they point to video debunking any claims, is to demand that DOJ prove the cost of the damage, which is necessary to predicate charges. That'll expose Trump's remodel.

Insurance, how does it work?

Dr Oz on ACA "fraud" -- "Of the people who signed up, 40% never use the insurance. Let me ask you, John, you have health insurance -- do you use it once a year? In Obamacare right now 40% of the people ostensibly signed up never use the insurance ... we have a lot of fake people on the policies"

Our independent federal regulatory agencies were created to protect the public from corporate harms. The only reason to end these protections is to give corporate America even higher profits by shifting the risks of harms to individual people. The shame of the John Roberts court.

Today’s SCOTUS opinion in Slaughter, allowing POTUS to fire commissioners at will, will harm other agencies, including EEOC, EPA, Consumer Product Safety Board, FCC, FDIC, SEC, Nuclear Safety Board.

It Can Only Good Happen reposted

SCOTUS 6-3 gives Trump the power to fire independent agency officials in the federal government, without cause. That check on presidential power is now gone.

Steve Vladeck@stevevladeck.bsky.social

There's no sugar-coating Slaughter. It's an enormously important ruling (far more important than the other three decisions #SCOTUS handed down today). It's a huge win for Trump/the executive. And it's going to have massive ramifications for the functioning of the government long after Trump is gone.

New in PN: Trump hates democracy, housing edition "Real dictators don’t care about policy; they win by cheating. Trump doesn’t want to be a baby man; he wants to cheat. The SAVE America Act is the way. Any other approach, especially trying to help voters, enrages him. He refuses to sign the bill."

"Mistakenly, we thought that by just introducing artificial intelligence and ingesting the design requirements that we had, that that would produce a high-quality product." Holy cow, Ford bought the AI hype, believing they could go "hey computer, make me a good car" and it would.

Dare Obasanjo@carnage4life.bsky.social

Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars. AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.

I actually think this statement is a big deal. Because it tells you all you need to know. They believe, in their bones, in an imperial presidency where the executive rules absolutely and uses his power to destroy enemies and enrich himself.

under Alito’s jurisprudence, the “equal protection of the laws” means that racial subordination is constitutionally protected and ending racial subordination is constitutionally suspect

I was on a Zoom call with advocates from Springfield and elsewhere in Ohio yesterday afternoon, and it’s absolutely horrifying and inexcusable what this administration is doing to this community and the lie that Sam Alito told to OK this.

After SCOTUS ruling, Stephen Miller said: "We can finally remove these Haitian migrants." If so, Springfield Ohio, in deep red Clark County, will now face major ICE raids. Springfield is the cite of the "pet eating" lie. There are up to 15,000 Haitians there: newrepublic.com/article/2124...
