Justice Jackson is spot on here. This Court’s decisions are in line with Korematsu and others of the worst decisions in its history. But now it tries to hide behind the shadow docket and procedural minutiae

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen
It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world
It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

Cory Booker just gave the longest speech in the history of Congress and concluded by apologizing to everyone who had to stay up all night keeping the chamber open and operating.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.
What will you do?

I can’t believe this is real! It’s like the worst caricature of how the right says Soros does politics.
In a video posted by Elon Musk’s PAC, a $1M check recipient linked voting to receiving the money:
“My name’s Ekaterina Deistler. …I did exactly what Elon Musk told everyone to do: sign the petition, refer friends and family, vote, and now I have a million dollars.”

Apparently a 'wrinkle' to the legitimacy of the law is whether or not a newspaper accused your spouses dad of something
The wrinkle: Suri's U.S.-citizen wife appears to be the daughter of someone described in news reports as a Hamas political adviser. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...
Trump is seeking to deport another graduate student who is legally in the country, lawsuit says
Badar Khan Suri, a fellow at Georgetown, says he is being punished because of the suspected views of his wife, a U.S. citizen with Palestinian heritage.

One problem with the idea of reserving due process for law-abiding people is that due process is how we figure out which people are law-abiding.

Even if we put aside the awful substance of Newsom's remarks, the setup—"he brought Charlie Kirk on his podcast to show how much he agreed with Kirk about _____"—is already damning by itself.
The fact that sentence ends with "trans rights" makes it worse, not better. But it's already disqualifying.
