Here's another way to look at it.

The headlines & bad puns about this case are going to be epic. DHS are going to look like a bunch of snowflakes, the DOJ will be ridiculed for prosecuting this case, & Trump is going to be absolutely enraged by the acquittal.

Looks like a win for democracy to me

The case never had a meatball’s chance in hell.

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

Interesting. So we actually have 6 adults in the Supreme Court, the DOJ managed a wildly incompetent self-own in to cater to the whims of an out of control and delusional president, and the USSC reminds Congress that they have duties that the cannot ever delegate.

Two years ago I interviewed a 31-year-old NY state assemblymember about a 7-year-old girl killed by an SUV driver in his district. I hung up the phone, astonished that I'd talked to a legislator who so thoughtfully articulated what actually needs to change on our streets.

Our Parkdale supervised consumption site had near unanimous support at community meetings, 300+ residents who signed a petition in support, and the evidence on our side.

But Premier Ford is closing it regardless, and the results will be absolutely deadly.

Rule of Law Alert: Trump’s authority for country-specific tariffs comes from the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which doesn’t mention tariffs—but does require a national emergency.

An ad showing that Reagan opposed tariffs surely is not a national emergency. (It may be a personal one)

@democratswin.bsky.social thank you for sharing this!!! Let’s share this to all American voters!!!

Correct. Trump has demolished any case of tariffs. Done.

If only the GOP leadership wasn’t completely compromised.

Show me I’m wrong. Go ahead.

In Les Miserables, Jean Valjean steals a loaf of bread to save his sister’s starving son

He serves 19 years in jail & emerges the hero

The villain? The cop who’s determined to pit him back in jail

For the crime of not wanting someone to starve

Telling this story for absolutely no reason at all.
