My read of this is that they will hold up the black letter of 14A in order to maintain the appearance of legitimacy while they destroy precedent and the rule of law in every other regard.
The Supreme Court will ultimately decide whether to uphold the longstanding principle that grants citizenship to the children of non-citizens born in the U.S., following a legal challenge by the Trump administration. n.pr/48E1oko

end of the month is coming up and I can't afford rent. I'm deeply ashamed to have to beg people online but here we are
I kind of hate to do this but I got an unexpected late hospital bill AND I got paid 25% less on my last paycheck due to admin fuckups.
if anyone can spare a dollar or so that'd be grand. I'm short about €500 this month so anything will help :)

This week, the President of the United States verbally berated a journalist after a question regarding his connections to a pedophile oligarch. He then called for the murder of members of Congress after they urged service members to follow the law regarding illegal orders he might give them.

If Bondi drags her feet, the Epstein files will now be released around Christmas. While that might work under normal political circumstances, general misgivings around Trump's economy and widespread corruption might make that maneuver backfire pretty hard leading into a midterms year.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

I can appreciate the fact that some folks simply can't afford to boycott some brands or products, but when it comes to elective purchases like video games, I think it is essential that they do so.
BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

I wonder if NYT's rightward shift over recent years is more about generating social media outrage than attempting to stay out of Trump's crosshairs.

President Trump posted what appeared to be an A.I.-generated video on social media showing him wearing a crown and flying a jet labeled “King Trump” that dumps brown liquid on protesters. He shared the video on Saturday, the same day that protesters participated in mass “No Kings” demonstrations.

Rachel Bitecofer is the Jim Cramer of political strategy.
Incredible numbers after the political media spent weeks hammering "the Dems are making a big mistake, the shutdown is their fault" as a main message, in contradiction to polling
Trump's deranged threat to fire federal workers and his killing of NY-NJ project are backfiring: Both are now big issues in VA-NJ gov races!
And new CNBC poll shows indys blaming Trump/GOP over Dems by 58-21.
On the pod, @simonwdc.bsky.social explains all this well:

perhaps instead of cowering under a blanket labeled "health care," democrats should respond and advance on the issues that move people. this, of course, would require a foundation of conviction and principle, which may be asking too much of the party's leadership and strategists.

As indicated by the Kimmel/Nexstar/Sinclair debacle, The Administration and its apparatchiks are in an incredibly vulnerable position right now. They can only achieve the easiest of victories. If we push back, we win.
