What is Heritage rebelling against? - Civil rights - Regulation of financial markets, environment, consumer goods, antitrust - Marriage equality - Fair immigration - Anything that they see as discriminatory against white people and their brand of Christianity www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Analysis | The target of the right’s ‘revolution’ is pluralistic democracy itselfwww.washingtonpost.com The president of the Heritage Foundation said, “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

This piece from 2017 is well worth revisiting. Esp for those inclined to think Trump 1.0 wasn’t THAT dramatically authoritarian and anti-democratic.

Not with a bang, but with a whimper. H/T @tompepinsky.bsky.social. www.vox.com/the-big-idea...

Life in authoritarian states is mostly boring and tolerablewww.vox.com Americans have an overly dramatic view what the end of democracy looks like.

Maybe GWB should speak up. And all Cheneys

Would be a good day to declare Nov 5th a federal voting holiday ESPECIALLY for students

Good point from Sotomayor here. By barring prosecutors from probing a president's intent, Roberts renders the entire "official vs. unofficial" distinction meaningless.

roberts essentially ignores the purpose of separation of powers, which was not to create entirely separate spheres of action but to prevent the emergence of unchecked authority. instead, he says, separation of powers *demands* unchecked authority.

Trump "re-truthed" this meme yesterday. But look, whatever you do, don't call it fascism.

Jfc. I can't swear enough today

Roberts, overruling Chevron with incredible and unearned hubris: "Perhaps most fundamentally, Chevron’s presumption is misguided because agencies have no special competence in resolving statutory ambiguities. Courts do."

Ngl never going to watch another minute of CNN as long as I live after this debacle. Just up there letting trump lie his ass off

Ok, I need everybody to read Section III-A of Alito's dissent in the Idaho abortion case. He says - explicitly and specifically - that in cases where the amniotic sac breaks before the 24th week of pregnancy, abortions should be prohibited. HE SPECIFICALLY NOTES THE DANGERS. He points out that...

The experts have spoken. A second Trump term would mean higher inflation, higher national debt, a loss of jobs, and a shrinking economy. A second Biden term would build on his successes and continue lowering inflation, creating jobs, and growing the economy.

"U.S. police departments have gotten smaller—and the violent crime rate is still plummeting. So what is going on?" What's ALWAYS gone on. Cops do not stop crime. They never have. Real "tough on crime" measures are well-funded schools, free daycare, and mental health services. Always have been.

Some reduce the 2024 campaign to a contest between two old men, but it's a choice of two slates of federal appointees who'll impact your life in a million ways. Biden has staffed executive agencies with excellent choices who are doing good work. Trump will empower an army of Stephen Millers.

Under current law, you really couldn’t do much better than Biden’s FTC and NRLB. New Deal shit.
