If you have actual evidence that Biden has Parkinson's like e.g., lab results, put up, if you only have speculation however degreed, shut up. This is actually really easy.

hoo boy gonna be a big fucking thumbs' down from me on LGM publishing breathless speculation about biden having parkinson's based on the speculation of doctors who know good and goddamned well that they can't and shouldn't try to diagnose people who aren't their patients through the fucking tv

18 U.S.C. § 472 makes it a federal crime to pass counterfeit currency.

As a side note, this is John McEntee, Trump's Director of White House Personnel and the primary architect of Project 2025. On Tik Tok he said he gives counterfeit bills to homeless people so they will be arrested when they go to spend them.

Let me be clear. In my opinion, John Roberts has joined Roger Taney (Dred Scott - slavery) as a Chief Justice who will be remembered as an evil man. Not just wrong, but worthy of eternal condemnation for trying to destroy the Republic.

Kaitlin Has Had Enough

Harris grew up when educating children like her was a national debate. She had to get through school on her own; she wasn’t born to a wealthy family. Like most Black women she was told she wasn’t enough and never would be. Maybe she’s tougher than many people assume.

Ah, yes, the classic “just following orders” immunity. What a good place we’ll be in as a country if that happens

There is also every reason to think that this court will expand Trump v. U.S in his second term to extend immunity to those doing his bidding. I.e., “Our holding in Trump v. U.S. demands that government officials be able to enact the will of the executive without fear of criminal proceedings.”

Before the debate, I thought this was a silly question. Even in the hours after the debate, I thought the plan was straightforward. The Biden campaign _response_ to the debate has convinced me I was wrong, so I’m eating crow here. I think Biden needs to step aside and let Harris run.

I think it's very unlikely. The question remains. What is the strategy if the first debate performance goes very poorly for Biden. Is there an actual plan you'd support if his support craters after the first debate?

Maybe this just counts as voting, but I think sublimating your panic into volunteering for your closest swing House race or Senate race might help! It's helped some of my friends.

The more you read yesterday’s immunity decision, the more appalling it gets. My take: www.nytimes.com/2024/07/02/o...

Opinion | The Supreme Court Creates a Lawless Presidencywww.nytimes.com It is increasingly clear that this court sees itself as something other than a participant in our democratic system.

Easy to lose sight of the significance here, but the sitting president just gave a speech condemning the Supreme Court for a ruling that expands presidential power. It’s also a president who stands to benefit from this ruling, given that his opponent is vowing to imprison him and his family.

post malone ergo propter malone

there are no state crimes in the District of Columbia. there is nothing now, no law, no system of justice, that prevents a President from ordering the slaughter of judges or of federal legislators at their place of office and then pardoning his execution squad.

This is one of the responses we need. It alone isn’t enough, but this should be among the things we swiftly build pressure for

@macfarlanenews.bsky.social NEW: Rep Joe Morelle (D-NY) “I will introduce a constitutional amendment to reverse SCOTUS’ harmful decision and ensure that no president is above the law. This amendment will do what SCOTUS failed to do—prioritize our democracy”

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration at all to say the decision threatens the Republic. I might not have said so in 2015, before I saw how triumphantly lawless and autocratic the President could be, and how so many people would applaud it or at least shrug.

My friend and colleague Ken White has written a great thread describing some (but far from all) of the enormous problems with today's decision by Chief Justice Roberts granting Donald Trump criminal immunity on grounds never before accepted by any court. Today's decision threatens the Republic.

/8 At any rate, congratulations to the Federalist Society for an achievement beyond the reach of the British, outside the grasp of bloody civil war, impossible to Nazis and Soviets and terrorists: defeating the American idea.

This should be one of the most important speeches of Biden’s presidency.

Apparently he’s slated to give live remarks tonight.

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.

Can we start treating this "You have less than six months" refrain from neo-Nazis and far-right extremists as anything other than open death threats? It's out of control

In a very real way the current crisis we’re facing can be traced directly back to his VRA ruling.

People really need to get and read Timothy Snyder’s book On Tyranny. Not complying prematurely is hugely important. Force them to fight every fight. Doing so will constrain them significantly

this is my fundamental issue with all of these guys. baseless confidence bordering on arrogance. something also tells me that a person of different demographic characteristics with the exact same political record would not be dismissed so easily
