More from Sotomayor's dissent:

"When the Executive publicly announces its intent to
break the law, and then executes on that promise, it is the
Judiciary’s duty to check that lawlessness, not expedite it. ... The majority is either willfully blind to the implications of its ruling or naive."

Yeah, very little evidence available to disprove my theory that it's not a court anymore, it's a theocratic super-legislature. And that we share a system of government with Iran.

Don’t rope Biden into this. He’s fought to expand healthcare for all, not take it away.

"Normie-style politics"? Like normalizing Trump's lies and fear-mongering around the border? 🙄🙄🙄

Give me a break.

SHAME on MSNBC for doing so..bc we all know that surrendering in advance doesn't pacify wannabe tyrants — it just teaches them what they can get away with.

I'm confident @joyannreid.bsky.social will land on her feet & she'll have a loyal viewer in me wherever she ends up. But damn. Do better MSNBC!

...so of course, Joy's been in MAGA's crosshairs for a long time. It's hard not to see MSNBC's baffling decision to cancel her show as a disgraceful capitulation and an attempt to appease the forces of fascism.

...which just makes this decision that much more baffling. (Nothing against Symone & Alicia Menendez, who I love.)

Nothing makes MAGA quite as spitting mad as a brilliant, fierce, fabulous Black woman frustrating fascists, speaking truth to power, and pointing out the Emperor's lack of clothes...
