It would be cool if like NYT or WaPo could be this direct lol
What does the law say? Under the US Constitution, it is Congress, not the president, which has the authority to decide how federal funds are allocated to states. Article I of Section 8 of the US Constitution states that Congress can collect taxes and decide how money should be spent on national requirements. Additionally, Article I of Section 9 of the US Constitution states: “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.” If the president does not execute federal funding decisions made by Congress, that would be considered an unconstitutional act of “impoundment” on the president’s part.

This is a conspiracy theory that came from the plot of the movie Elysium, lol
Plot In 2154, Earth is overpopulated, diseased, and heavily polluted from ecocide. The planet's citizens live in extreme poverty. In contrast, the rich and powerful live on Elysium, an orbiting space station just outside Earth's atmosphere, with luxuries including Med-Bays, medical devices that can heal any disease or condition.

The university emailed students in March to say that the implementation of the training “will adhere to federal policy including President Donald Trump’s 29 January executive order, ‘Additional Measures to Combat Anti-Semitism’”. Despite the university requiring students to undergo the training, the Trump administration still cut $790m in research funding.

Do you think the people who post and share this stuff really mean it? Like actually "have empathy" for Kirk? I dunno.
Hannah Arendt said 'The death of human empathy is one of the earliest & most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism' We saw the recent cruelty of MAGA denying empathy to Melissa Hortman Empathy for Kirk—not because he ever acted like a decent human—but because we are decent humans

For example. Buddy it's been pretty thinkable for a few years now, what do you think Posting Discipline is going to do about it lol
Wil Stancil: The far right has been looking for a reason to commit mass political violence and it’s extremely important to unite around the principle that all political violence in America is unthinkable and unacceptable.

Ah, of course.
"Solely fighting isn’t enough. That Newsom’s approval was below 40% in a very blue state should concern Democrats who believe the governor offers a strong path forward for the party. Democrats are divided and facing a reckoning on a number of issues foreign and domestic. (emphasis) It’s no coincidence that Platner got one of the biggest ovations of the night when he said, “Our taxpayer dollars can build schools and hospitals in America, not bombs to destroy them in Gaza.” (/emphasis) Tying resistance to Trump to a winning message with appeal and progressive politics will go further than simply presenting voters with a rerun of “Orange Man bad” messaging (even though, to be clear, Orange Man is, indeed, bad)."

Schools for the British ruling class require applicants to write essays in response to prompts like this, in case you're wondering what sort of people are running the UK.
The year is 2040. There have been riots in the streets of London after Britain has run out of petrol because of an oil crisis in the Middle East. Protesters have attacked public buildings. Several policemen have died. Consequently, the Government has deployed the Army to curb the protests. After two days the protests have been stopped but twenty-five protesters have been killed by the Army. You are the Prime Minister. Write the script for a speech to be broadcast to the nation in which you explain why employing the Army against violent protesters was the only option available to you and one which was both necessary and moral.

Seems notable that this is the same reasoning used to halt accountability for cops who kill people.
The second condition seems more surprising. It is the stunning inadequacy of the majority’s understanding of constitutional history and core concepts of American constitutionalism. In Trump v. United States, the chief justice emphasized the desire of the Framers to create an executive who could act with “vigor,” “energy,” and “dispatch.” Any threat of being prosecuted for undertaking decisions requiring these qualities would weaken the presidency, thus providing a rationale for presidential immunity.

Given DOGE’s scope, a naïve observer would think its head would require Senate approval. The Senate did not assert that claim. Nor do many senators seem to believe this power over appointments is all that important. Their willingness to confirm the nomination of a recovered heroin addict and anti-vaxxer as Secretary of Health and Human Services, the head of the World Wrestling Federation as Secretary of Education, and a Fox & Friends Weekend host as Secretary of Defense marks the Appointments Clause as yet another failure.

MSM framing is utterly depraved and deranged
Headline 1: "Israel warns of more attacks on Iran after Tehran's deadly retaliatory strikes" Headline 2: "Israeli strikes on Iran's nuclear program are sweeping but can they decimate it?"

Like I understand the motivation here but "state force" is not a force of nature, it's specific armed groups who, in many cases, mostly like what ICE is doing, hate liberal politicians, etc. Can you rely on them? Are we regretting the policy agenda of giving them all our money yet?
Regime Accountant, CPA (‪@regimecpa.bsky.social‬): Obama and Biden both failed to do anything about right wing extremists and the big change we need is someone willing to use the state to confront and dismantle their networks, including using state force. For this to be successful it won’t look very “liberal.” - June 14, 2025 at 11:45 AM

This is the first thing that's made this bill sound like more of a mixed bag than a calamity tbh
Let's be real: if Republicans pass the House budget bill as is, it will murder the US nuclear industry, ruin our chances of winning the AI race (by constraining power supply), concede the global auto sector to China, and vaporize about half a trillion dollars of US manufacturing investment...

It's also cool how when you look at the polling breakdown, the 52% majority approval (pretty slim!) on trans issues doesn't even reflect a majority of "independents."
I can't transcribe this whole bar graph but it shows only 48% of "independents" think Trump is right about trans issues.

Rep. MTG coming out against a bill making it illegal to boycott "Israel" "I will be voting NO. It is my job to defend American’s rights to buy or boycott whomever they choose without the government harshly fining them or imprisoning them. But what I don’t understand is why we are voting on a bill on behalf of other countries and not the President’s executive orders that are FOR OUR COUNTRY???"

I like how, because the original post was deleted, there's 0 context for this and it just looks like he's whining about the queers having more sex than him

Relatedly, I'm reading this article on what if Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, and like... The Dem governor of California is kissing the ass of every right winger he can get on his podcast lol
Another method of refusal comes from our scenario planning sessions. It’s based on the technicality that the National Guard cannot be activated twice. So governors can activate their National Guard (even without orders) and then the federal government can’t repurpose them. Among border states, one could conceive of Democratic governors in California, New Mexico and Arizona (but not ruby-red Texas) calling up the National Guard by mid-April, before the Insurrection Act is invoked.
