Centrists and moderates, what have you done for America lately?
Reminds me of the white moderates MLK warned about so many years ago.
Just useless.

"Since the start of Trump’s second term, the Court has routinely allowed the administration to implement objectively unconstitutional actions by pretending that they’re simply making a narrow procedural ruling rather than blessing Trump’s wholesale destruction of democracy."

Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons.
Iran didn't strike Israel. It was Israel that struck Iran first.
Trump was set to meet Iran for potential negotiations. Netanyahu blew it up.
Trump got played by Netanyahu, again, and has now led US into an unnecessary with Iran.

"Joe Biden’s fitness for office is not the most pressing issue facing the country now, in 2026, or in 2028. This is trivially obvious. But the fact that the media, and some Democrats, continue to be obsessed with the last election points to some real problems going forward." — @nberlat.bsky.social

An extraordinary separate dissent from Justice Jackson accuses the majority of trying to pass off its dirty work under the cover of the shadow docket and explicitly invokes Korematsu, the Japanese internment case. Wow. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
