Trump breezed through the 60-day deadline for getting congressional authorization for the attacks on Iran, compounding the illegality of this disastrous war. Trump is brazenly defying congressional authority, and it’s time for Congress to take their power back. Email your elected officials.

We can't. Roberts and the other 5 fascists no longer have any principles, no loyalty to the Constitution. They are openly corrupt. They may be surprised when Americans recoil at their attempt to destroy the Rule of Law and vote out Republicans in spite of the Gerrymander insanity. It may Backfire.

I defy anyone to explain this on neutral legal principles.
🚨BREAKING: The Supreme Court Monday fast-tracked its decision in Louisiana v. Callais — a move that clears the way for Louisiana to move forward with redrawing its congressional map even as an election is already underway. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

In December, SCOTUS stayed a district court ruling blocking TX from using its new maps because the lower court ruled "on the eve of an election." That district court ruling was issued 15 weeks before the TX primaries. Callais was issued *17 days* before the LA primaries.
This is partisanship at its rawest. SCOTUS has clamped down on lower courts for rulings that could alter maps many *months* before an election—even when those maps have been judged illegal. Here, it's rushing to let the Louisiana GOP change a map *while an election is underway.*

"Those seashells are threatening in a way that just saying it isn't or having a baseball cap isn't." @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @timmiller.bsky.social on DOJ’s absurd Comey indictment, where the legal theory appears to be '8647' is fine on a hat, but sinister when spelled out in seashells.

Highlighting and underlining both the partisan nature of the judiciary and the conspiratorial playbook being used by the American right. No tactics should be left unused in defence of democracy. Court expansion, DC (and PR if they want) statehood and partisan districting until a national ban goes.

🗣️ @mrglobaltoo.bsky.social on Trump lying about saving 8 Iranian woman: “More lives dramatically negatively harmed so Trump can inflate his own selfish ego to make himself look like more than what he is to his base… if something happens to these women, do you think Trump cares?”
