Typically good thread/summary by Mark, showing again that first, most SCOTUS cases are not about the huge issues that get attention, and second, perhaps because of that, the Court sometimes divides in unexpected ways.
No new grants—but a lot of action—on the Supreme Court's orders list today.
First, Thomas renews his call to overturn the Feres doctrine, which bars servicemembers from suing the government over injuries "incidental" to their service. (I think he's right.)

I feel MAGA is trying to dominate the news cycle by deliberately throwing 'dubious' Roman salutes.
They're trying to undermine taboos + exploiting the 'ambiguity' to portray themselves as victims + limiting available air-time to criticize their recent actions.
What are they trying to hide?

Steve Bannon was applauded at CPAC after he gave a Nazi salute followed by an “amen.”
Elon gave one too.
Believe your own eyes & ears.
Conservatives have aligned themselves with the ideology that used gas chambers to murder millions.

This is bizarre!
If true, I'd guess that Trump was annoyed by Zelenskyy's reluctance to concede and decided to favor Putin instead.
I hope this is just posturing to hasten a peace deal because it sends the wrong signal to Iran & China

Why would we abandon the prosperous, democratic nations of Europe, our allies for one hundred years, to "partner" with weak, poor Russia, a longtime adversary and dictatorship currently in the middle of an unprovoked invasion of a neighboring state?
Treason. It's treason
