Pay attention to their messaging. They’re going to steal the next election and say it’s because they got rid of “democrats.” Couple this with the fact they’re amassing a citizenship database, and prepping to charge state election officials with crimes.

Nearly half of all the rural hospitals left in Missouri are at risk of closure — the proposed Medicaid cuts will likely finish them off.
Closing these hospitals not only harms the people in these communities, but it will also hasten the death of these communities.

Armed vigilantes, denaturalization proceedings, and the use of state power to promote herrenvolk democracy have all happened before in American history. But there is something novel and frankly un-American in the way this government is recombining and deploying them now.

The truly craven form of identity politics Democratic elites are playing against Zohran Mamdani is a fascinating real time enactment of @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social's Elite Capture thesis. Cynical assumptions, especially about Black and Jewish voters, completely rejected by the electorate.

So, looking at some of the footnotes in the universal injunction case, it looks like administrations that follow the law and use agency regulation are subject to universal injunctions, but the lawless use of executive orders is not?
Am I reading this footnote correctly? What a terrible incentive!
