The thing about all these right-wing institutions—from Fox to Truth Social to this faux-university—is that they subsist entirely on parasitic criticism of leftists & things the left has built. Without the host body, they are nothing. They can't build, they can't create, they can only whine.

curious if your sources for the nuke episodes mentioned this fun incident involving a Minuteman from 1984; see if you can spot the conflict between these two bits in the statement from SAC!

You’ve got to assume that any real organised crime or terror groups in the US know the FBI isn’t tracking them as closely as they used to.

That could be very bad indeed – and if so, you can expect to see the clips of congressional testimony like today’s many, many times.
Kinda wild that the organization the FBI considers the biggest domestic threat is ... largely imaginary.

was hoping you'd return to this in the same piece; guessing the two similar instances you're thinking of are (1) Dred Scott and (2) the anti-New Deal court prior to the "switch in time" (the actual switch case itself being West Coast Hotel Co. v. Parrish, 300 U.S. 379 (1937))

It happened again: The Trump administration has admitted illegally deporting a man to Guatemala despite an immigration judge's order that he was likely to be tortured there.

A judge has ordered the administration to facilitate his return by next week.storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The USG has a new explanation on why they (now admittedly) intentionally killed 2 shipwrecked men. It does not pass the laws-of-war smell test

Worse for Hegseth, NYT: "Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth approved contingency plans for what to do if an initial strike left survivors."

So we are currently at multiple threatened military operations, attorneys being rejected for improper appointments, suburbanites chasing the armed agents of the state cursing their names, a two vote margin in the house, and consumer sentiment worse than 2008/2009. It’s been less than a year.

A thread of clips from the Congressional Record of Jan 10, 1967 – Day 1 of the 90th Congress. Why? Because that was the day the House voted that Adam Clayton Powell, Jr (D-NY), not be administered the oath, even provisionally… eventually leading to the SCOTUS decision in Powell v McCormack.

Trump did the thing, everyone knows he did the thing, and he's got an entire political party and associated media apparatus trying to cover up his clear involvement in the thing. One of the sickest, most sordid chapters in an especially sick and sordid period of modern American history.

i've been thinking about this for a few weeks, and i really think that (1) after Trump, the Times freaked out believing they had lost touch with middle America, and (2) attempting to correct course, they lost touch with liberal America, too.

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

This is guaranteed to happen. And they will post a "TRUMP SAVED YOUR SNAP BENEFITS" message when you log on to the site.
Mark this down:

On Monday, Trump will announce that he "saved" the SNAP program and people will get their food stamps for November. Republicans will claim that Democrats wanted people to starve but Trump made sure it didn't happen. The media will go along with them.
