Sometimes, it's difficult to predict how #SCOTUS is going to rule based solely on how the oral argument goes.
And sometimes ... it's not.

YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH WITH THAT SNOW TALK.
sorry, that was uncouth. GTFO.
Sorry, I meant to say, ARE YOU KIDDING?
Le sigh. I lived in Alaska, you'd think I'd be ok with snow. You'd be wrong.

First snow! ❄️🎉
CWG reader Bob Leffler in Damascus, Md (N Mont Co), measured 0.1" of snow/sleet this AM.
Lots of you reported snowflakes and sleet mixing with the rain, which should move out over next hour or so.
Another chance Tues AM. More on that later...

"Needless to say, by the time People [magazine] is writing about a federal law enforcement leader’s personal life, you’ve lost the plot."
It's hard to overstate what a disaster Kash Patel is. See the many disturbing details here, from @vermontgmg.bsky.social, an expert on the FBI. "The longer this chaos continues," he writes, "the more likely we’re going to face a catastrophic intelligence failure." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Kash Patel, the FBI's agent of chaos
The biggest little scandal in Washington right now is how bad Patel is at being FBI director.

I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not.
This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.

LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR: DOJ DID ALL OF THIS TO TRY AND STOP PAYMENTS TO PEOPLE UNDER AN ANTI-HUNGER PROGRAM.
Oh, this is wild.
DOJ went to SCOTUS *before* we got the First Circuit's administrative stay denial. (We know this because DOJ just filed a letter at SCOTUS about the admin stay denial.)
So, DOJ went to SCOTUS b/c the First Circuit did not meet its less-than-seven-hour "deadline" for a ruling.

To break it down for my audience:
Bloomberg spent $9.5M trying to elect Cuomo.
The original production of Carrie cost $8M
Someone should write a book about flop political campaigns called Not Since Cuomo.

These evil, illegitimate fuckers have got to go
Breaking: The Supreme Court is now officially considering taking up a case overturning same-sex marriage.
This is the first time in history the court has considered rolling back this right.

And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.
Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

The very first statute authorizing domestic use of the military during domestic emergencies, enacted in 1792 by a Congress full of the same folks who wrote and ratified the Constitution, expressly provided for judicial review in certain circumstances *before* the President could even send troops.
