This what the Roberts court has wrought! Consistently throwing lower courts under the bus, in order to advance an agenda, has consequences. John Roberts, the idiot savant, wonders why the rule of law is taking a hit.
You don’t get to pick. That’s the whole damn point of the rule of law.

This is profoundly irresponsible by AGSulzberger’s NYT, @by-cjewett.bsky.social +eds.

The normalization, “view-from-nowhere”, “born-yesterday”, stenography, “both-sides”, irresponsible headline are disgraceful.
THE story is the CDC&FDA are being destroyed by antiscience & Americans will die.

Former army clemency & parole board member here. Boards I was on for GWOT war criminals — Mahmudiyah murders; Gibbs’s kill squad — had the common denominator of poor leadership. Leadership vacuum filled by “leaders” who viewed others as sub-human. We’re witnessing the same but at the national level.

Let me say this plainly: If any other country had done this, we would call it what it is, a war crime. Because that is exactly what it was.

Part of why Trump won in 2016 was he was an "outsider" who promised to "end corruption." He did not end corruption, he is a big "to the victor belongs the spoils of the enemy" guy. He's a spoiled and corrupt person, who has spoiled and corrupted his party and government. That story sells itself.
The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

Run on *that*

“If the power companies want to expand their business, then that should be on them, not the consumer,” Ms. Lehman said in a text message. “Some people are just barely making it as it is.”

It is the price of doing business. If you can't fund your own data centers then you should be out of business.

To make common cause with this Administration is to support an affirmatively white supremacist vision of this country. Period.

Every Governor.

Real men don’t punch down, and they especially don’t punch down at women.

This mashup of Trump’s disgusting attacks on female reporters — the same reporters who consistently show the most courage. And it’s past time for the other reporters in the room to have their backs!

This tired, deeply-damaged man is so needy. He has to have references to him being president on his hat, on his shirt, and on a golf-framed placard next to his overcooked cheeseburger he's almost too-out-of-it to eat.

We’re the only country that lets the gun lobby write the laws and then pretends to be shocked when children end up in coffins.

The more Trump officials get angry with questions about why in in April they approved the National Guard shooter--who was a CIA trained asset--staying in the US, the more we need to press on this issue. The Trump cover up is on edge of falling apart.

Understand why the government keeps protecting the powerful instead of the victims in the Epstein case, why the FBI fought to hide the names, and why every single one should be exposed. I broke it down in my new Substack.

When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.

NEVER believe the cops' first statement after they are involved in violence. They lie every time, not just Bovino.
Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino arrested a protester on charges of assaulting a federal officer at a Broadview immigration facility, but video evidence later contradicted his account and showed the protester being pushed to the ground instead.
