Paul Waldman @paulwaldman.bsky.social · 26/08/2026My confidence that the Supreme Court won't rubber-stamp Trump's attempt to steal the election via the USPS is undermined by this line in the intro of their decision: "About five months ago, President Trump issued an Executive Order designed to maintain public confidence in federal elections." What? 915949 159
Paul Waldman @paulwaldman.bsky.social · 26/08/2026The eagerness of the court's conservatives to grant Trump the assumption of good intentions even when he's issuing blatantly unconstitutional orders and PUBLICLY SAYING that he has the worst of intentions shows their hands. It's Calvinball all the way down. 712229 122
A Man Has No Name 🇺🇦 @manhasnoname.bsky.social · 27/08/2026They need Republicans to stay in power. Otherwise, investigations of the Supreme Court begin. Alito, Thomas, Roberts, and Kavanaugh (+Anthony Kennedy) definitely don’t want that. 000 0

Spencer’s Butte’s Shadow @brienmcmullen.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Yeah, that's pretty disturbing. The whole "crisis of confidence" is caused by misinformation. And what is the credibility of a person who used precisely ⁰that campaign of misinformation to ransack the US capital. Historians will not struggle to parse the intentions on this one. 080 8
Dan On the Beach @danod.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Perhaps I am overly paranoid and thinking in unfounded conspiracy theories but it appears that a certain group of conservatives on the Supreme Court are still dedicated to complete capture of the gov’t and country by a single political party. 100 1
