this is accurate. Saying the court is corrupt isn’t just a slogan or rallying cry. It’s a critical statement, marker-setting of where we are. A court acting in this fashion has no legitimacy. Acting under its dictates is a purely pragmatic and contingent decision.
For those of us who believe the Supreme Court is, at least in part, a political institution, its saving grace is that it moves the law only in increments, is reactive rather than proactive, and must give its reasons and be judged on them. A Court that doesn't do those things isn't worth having.

Senate Ds did fight every step of way, made the bill toxic, forced Tillis to retire, made them vote in broad daylight as bill got worse, nixed some truly awful parts. They need more members. In 2026, vote out every R. That is what the lesson is here.

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics
WATCH: “You’re a U.S. senator and you don’t know anything about the country you want to topple.”

This is EXCELLENT. So many leftists, who hate capitalism, vote with a consumerist mindset.

This isn’t hard or complicated. For people weighing in w/different versions of this theme: Musk isn’t a good guy, we forget nothing, he’s not on the team, never will be on the team. We don’t mind if this disgusting evil alliance comes apart. That doesn’t make us Team Elon. Next.

Two things can be true at once:
1. Yes, older electeds should probably think more seriously about whether it's time to pass the torch, especially if they have serious health issues.
2. No, your initial response to a good public servant dying should NOT be to scream at them for not retiring sooner.

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling.
People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯.
America, we have a problem!

Remembering when in December Trump announced:
"The media is tamed down a little bit. They like us much better now, I think. If they don’t, then we’ll just have to take them on again, and we don’t want to do that."
It is amazing how right he was and how cowardly so many of them have become.

I’m so happy they didn’t send anyone home this week! It’s so evil to send someone home on the makeover episode when their family is here! #DragRace

This feels like the most personal/private episode of #DragRace I’ve ever seen. These parental relationships are so raw/emotional for every Queen.

every single video I've seen of the hearing today, Democratic Senators (including ones I don't even like) were pounding the shit out of administration officials.
if the media will not play those clips, it's up to make them go viral, show our friends & family, etc.
They did something.
Reward them.

Well, I’m sure completely capitulating to the fascist goons will be the end of this story. They certainly won’t be back with additional demands.
"Columbia agreed to ban masks, empower 36 campus police officers with new powers to arrest students and appoint a senior vice provost with broad authority to oversee the department of Middle East, South Asian and African Studies as well as the Center for Palestine Studies."

It’s insane to me that Columbia just gave in. This isn’t going to save them, but it does destroy their integrity. If I were a student at Columbia I would try to transfer out to a school with more integrity.

Lana went home at the right time. She would’ve well outstayed her welcome if she had been saved again. Plus this was a touching note to end on, and a great parting line! #DragRace

If I was Jewels I would’ve deliberately put Lexi right after Suzie. The way they all freaked out over the order for the roast when she tried to make it work for everyone, they would get nothing from me this time. #DragRace
