Chief Justice Roberts:
"...The reasons that justify the President’s absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for acts within the scope of his exclusive constitutional authority do not extend to conduct in areas where his authority is shared with Congress..."
Congress is sharing its authority.

Zelensky re: Trump & Putin Peace Plan
"We are facing one of the most dangerous periods in Ukrainian history, a choice between losing our dignity and freedom and losing US support. We choose dignity. My answer is my oath of office. I did not betray Ukraine in Feb 2022, and we won’t betray in now."

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

The renewed investigation into the perps in the Epstein Files doesn't include Trump, so Bondi can't withhold any files that have Trump in them. She can withhold the files involved with Summer, Clinton and other Democrats because Trump ordered her to investigate them.

This is a really strong piece by @mjsdc.bsky.social on how Trump's DOJ really messed up in how they tried to finagle Texas's re-redistricting. And now that measure was put on hold by a federal district court. A mess in Texas!
Trump appointed Harmeet Dhillon to the Justice Department so she could own the libs and sue DEI out of existence. But she is a bad lawyer! And her utter incompetence is the main reason why a conservative Trump judge just struck down the racist Texas gerrymander. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Will Bondi actually start investigations into Democrats on Rape Island to deny Congress the release of the Epstein Files?
Bondi wrote on DOJ letterhead a while back that the investigations were closed.
Now Trump announces a new version of:
I can't release my taxes because of the ongoing audit.

The Trump regime has blown up 21 boats and murdered 83 people without providing any evidence that they were doing anything wrong. If this keeps up, their next step will be to blow up Americans too. You watch. And they won't provide any evidence that the Americans were doing anything wrong either.

A good reminder to folks.
The ACA did 3 big things in the insurance market:
1. Guaranteed access irrespective of pre-existing conditions.
2. Required benefits like maternity and mental health, and prohibited lifetime and annual limits.
3. Provided tax credits to help people afford insurance.
