I want to reiterate that countless conservative judges issued universal injunctions against the Biden administration, and the Supreme Court never halted the practice. Now, barely five months into Trump's second term, the court puts an end to these injunctions. A brazen double standard.

all of the Supreme Court’s jurisprudence about executive power - all of it - can be replaced with a simple flow chart. is the president a Republican? if so it’s ok. if not, it’s presumptively not ok.

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

This whole, "sexual assault and harassment is bad when Trump does it, but ok when our side does it," is sending a really clear message that the old guard of Democratic leadership only cares about women when it's politically advantageous.

Word for word the same argument that got us into the Iraq War: "Look how bad this country is"
CNN’s Van Jones urges “progressives” to “get on board” with bombing Iran:
“I think progressives underestimate how dangerous Iran is. Iran is not a normal country,” he said on air.
Jones did not share whether he considers Israel—an apartheid state currently committing genocide—a “normal country.”

There is no hell deep enough to contain the people involved with this
Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.
Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship
A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.

one of the many infuriating things about this is that if the authors of the amendment wanted it to apply exclusively to the formerly enslaved they had the capacity to do so! they would have written it that way! they didn't!
Sauer keeps saying the amendment was suppose to apply to "former slaves" but the actual text of the 14th amendment is "all persons born or naturalized in the united sates," i thought conservatives were big text guys

political media has created social incentive for being "independent," and this usually means standing for nothing and falling for everything, things of that nature.
“Independents” are almost hellbent on choosing the middle option of any poll, likely without even bothering to read! The pollsters cannot pull the wool over their eyes! The sensible option is always the option between two other things (not ideologically the middle, just physically located)

This is really the divide between old and new generation Democratic electeds: Those who believe the GOP is capable of being good faith partners in governance and those who know they’re full of shit.
A lot of delusion happening in that Schumer NYT interview, but this gets to the heart of it: he believes his Republican colleagues will come around and everything will be ok. Absolutely delusional.

It gets worse! Many, many Democrats have opposed filibuster abolition on the grounds that they’d miss it when Republicans gained a trifecta and it wasn’t available to them anymore.
McConnell abused the filibuster to make America worse. Schumer is refusing to use the filibuster to... accomplish what, exactly?
