New York Times, July 5, 2025: “Biden’s Stumbles And Gaffes During His Criticism of President Trump’s Internment Camps Vindicate Age Concerns”

I think we should start expanding how we think about responding to a rogue court. Congress should pass a law rebuking this decision and dare the court to overturn it. Oh and of course Congress should restructure the court, not just add seats. Not possible today, but let's build the framework now.

I hate this court so much and even I am astonished by this case. It writes new provisions into Art 2 of the constitution that were unnecessary to decide the case at hand and that cannot be repealed by legislative action or even undone without a new case of presidential law breaking before the court

A fun thing about the Supreme Court is if it didn’t exist and you described how it worked as a good idea for a functioning country people would laugh at you and call you a dumb stupid ass bastard

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

It's just hilariously disingenuous. Imagine looking at, say, ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY and concluding that the biggest threat to liberty isn't abuse of power, but powerful people refraining from sufficiently wielding their authority out of fear that they might one day be held accountable.

It's not the worst of it, but what I may be actually angriest about (right now) is Roberts' smarmy smugness and dismissiveness in the final two paragraphs of section IV and the whole of section V. "Fear mongering," "extreme hypotheticals," "our perspective must be more farsighted," and this.

That “Black jobs” seems to be the main thing from the debate to go actually viral on social media should give certain columnists some pause about their pulse on the campaign.

I do not understand how an entire culture seems to have spawned around this absolute loser shit. bsky.app/profile/badm...

A fair question to Democrats would be "Why do you let corporate and dark money groups flood your primaries?" That's been a problem for a while, tho it doesn't seem to be Bowman's only problem here.

This is about AIPAC pouring money into Latimer's campaign, which everyone who follows this knew about already and is distinct from Ayo's claim (you guys are really bad at this btw).

Biden has to say he won't pardon his son because he knows the media would absolutely savage him if he tried. Yet the same media completely takes it for granted that Trump will pardon himself if he's re-elected, it's just baked into assumptions about his future cases and they don't even bother to ask

This from @jbouie.bsky.social gets to the heart of the ideological juncture we’re at: MAGA voters identify with Trump as the embodiment of their collective, arbitrary will. The presidency has always carried this risk, but it’s reached its apogee today.

If it were Clarence Thomas instead of a juror, you’d have 5 hosts on Fox talking over each other about how it’s his right as an American to take gifts like this. Jk Fox would bury this story

like the fattest, slowest political softball imaginable, and yet Democrats are anxiously pondering whether to bunt or let it go by abcnews.go.com/Politics/plu...

Half of Americans think Trump's guilty verdict was correct, should end campaign: POLLabcnews.go.com Forty-seven percent say they think the charges against Trump were politically motivated. At the same time, 51% think Trump intentionally did something illegal.

Finally read this. The context for the slur makes it entirely believable. But the rest is just as awful. NBC knowingly resurrected a washed up, racist, misogynist, parasitic con man, and presented him to the country as a brilliant, cutting-edge businessman. It felt dirty just reading it.

Speaker Mike Johnson urges Supreme Court to "step in" on Trump verdictwww.axios.com Johnson said of the justices: "I know many of them personally – I think they are deeply concerned about that as we are."

I'm fact, the same revanchist reactionary part of our body politic that supports Trump lost the civil war and didn't accept that result either! They eventually managed to overturn it. You have to beat them everywhere. Never turn down a chance to beat them.

me: “there is nothing illegitimate about holding trump accountable according to the law” british lady: “you have to defeat him democratically” me: “that happened and then he tried to overturn the election” british lady: “yeah but he didn’t so you still have to beat him”

In fairness to Alito “if liberals are rude it’s ok to support overthrowing the government” is as concise a distillation of trump era conservatism as you’ll ever see

Justice Alito announces his support for a woman’s right to choose *looks back at letter* flags.

I tend to agree. What stood out to me from the start was that I didn't know the symbolism of those flags before. Bet the neighbors didn't either. These are red-pill symbols the Alitos appear to be fluent in.

/4 I guess this NYT story has softened my view on WaPo’s decision not to run the story earlier, at least a bit. Mrs. Alito comes off as Facebook-addled and entitled but Justice Alito doesn’t particularly. He does PLENTY of stuff on the record on his own.

White House preparing firm response to Israel’s crossing of its red line with massacre of civilians who fled Rafah to designated safe area: sanctioning ICC, criticizing college students who protest it, leaking that Biden is pissed, and begging Saudi Arabia to normalize relations with Israel.

The mainstream SCOTUS beat is rotten to its core: days after January 6, 2021, the Alitos were interviewed by a Washington Post reporter on the Supreme Court beat about the upside-down “distress” flag flying at their house—but the paper decided it wasn’t a story and sat on it until today.

Wife of Justice Alito called upside-down flag ‘signal of distress’www.washingtonpost.com In January 2021, Martha-Ann Alito said the flag, a symbol embraced by election deniers, was raised outside her home in response to a neighborhood dispute.

Sorry, election coming up, can't give you Senate hearings on SCOTUS, best we can do is invite Netanyahu to give a speech about how Democrats are terrorists and antisemites.
