Jan. 6 attack 'does not happen' without Trump, Jack Smith told Congress
In a closed-door interview, Smith characterized the Republican president as the “most culpable and most responsible person” in the criminal conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”

This is a real tweet...the Representative both heralds Trump's deadly strikes and also him for being the "Peace President" in the same tweet

Astonishing how ridiculous this country is right now
@RepRalphNorman Thank you @POTUS for standing up against Christian persecution. The PEACE President!!

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage.

The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn.

No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

Ask yourself this: How would the New York Times have covered the protests if it had been seven million MAGA supporters flooding the streets? We don’t even have to guess: We know how they and other mainstream outlets covered the Tea Party protests during Obama’s first term.

Justice Kagan, dissenting, says the majority will clearly overturn Humphrey's Executor soon—but objects that "our emergency docket should never be used, as it has been this year, to permit what our own precedent bars," or to "transfer government authority from Congress to the President."
ay do so again. Under existing law, what Congress said ocs—as this Court unanimously decided nearly a century ago. In Humphrey's Executor v. United States, 295 U.S. 602 (1935), we rejected a claim of presidential prerogative identical to the one made in this case. (Indeed, the suit emerged from a discharge at the very same agency) Con- gress, we held, may restrict the President's power to remove ‘members of the FTC, as well as other agencies performing “quasi-legislative or quasi-judicial” functions, without vio- lating the Constitution. Id., at 629. So the President can- not, as he concededly did here, fire an FTC Commissioner without any reason. To reach a different result requires re- versing the rule stated in Humphrey's: It entails overriding rather than accepting Congress's judgment about agency design. The majority may be raring to take that action, as its grant of certiorari before judgment suggests. But until the deed is done, Humphrey's controls, and prevents the ‘majority from giving the President the unlimited removal power Congress denied him. Because the majority's stay does just that, I respectfully dissent. Our emergency docket should never be used, as it has been this year, to permit what our own precedent bars. Still more, it should not be used, as it also has been, to transfer government authority from Congress to the President, and thus to reshape the Nation's separation of powers.

#BREAKING: Over dissents from Justices Sotomayor, Kagan & Jackson, #SCOTUS grants a stay in the Slaughter case (allowing President Trump to remove the last Dem member of the FTC), *and* grants certiorari "before judgment" to decide whether to formally overrule its 1935 ruling in Humphrey's Executor.

It was literally impossible to be alive in the 1970s and not know the phrase "Kiss my grits." Even babies who couldn't talk yet would say it. RIP to Flo and to Polly Holliday, also an enjoyable crank in the movie GREMLINS.

Regarding the liberal fantasy of saving X by posting on it more — @pbump.com has it exactly right www.pbump.net/o/the-power-...
Nor was it compelling. The central argument was that Twitter — which is no longer the Twitter of five or ten years ago both literally and figuratively — is an important element of the national conversation and that leaving it to the fringe-right and to trolls was ceding important terrain. But this idea that others could swoop in and collectively shift the conversation, beyond imposing an odd job requirement on all of us, misunderstands the nature of the change from Twitter to X. It is owned and directed by a far-right actor who bought it specifically to elevate and amplify right-wing messaging. You might as well argue that people should join the Republican Party in order to redirect it to less extreme terrain; that ship sailed a long time ago and you’re going to encounter some systemic obstacles that are beyond your persuasive powers.

By popular request, linking Mikie Sherrill's "3 kinds of incompetence," which is also superb. Best part is she dings him for his Fox News tactics and then ... those Fox News tactics fail. Second best part is this kicks off her Gubernatorial campaign against a MAGAt.
