Real words from Trump just now in the Oval:
"It's a con job. I think affordability is the greatest con job."

The Judges are performing their constitutional duty & following the law. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same thing about the Justice Department in this regard.

It’s time to stop saying that we need to understand these people. We do understand them.
We understand that they have dug in their heels so deeply, they will not be moved by anything: not facts or data or truth or their own eyes.

Putin demands Ukraine withdraw or he'll "liberate" by force occupation framed as negotiation. This is the "peace" Trump Jr. sells: capitulate or Russia finishes the job. Offering victims surrender or annihilation isn't diplomacy; it's extortion with an American blessing.

the true believers around nixon genuinely saw him as some kind of embodiment of the people and thought that congressional attempts to corral his authority were illegitimate on that basis. straight line from them to the executive power fetishists on the supreme court.

I am not live posting the whole argument here because I want to listen closely to Trump v. Slaughter. But the solicitor general for Trump just said the point here in killing the independence of agencies like the FTC is that executive branch officers must “fear and obey” the president. Wow. #SCOTUS
