This after the Roberts Court stayed Judge Murphy’s preliminary injunction last year. This ruling is relentless in its righteousness. Invert the judicial pyramid.

I can't get over the fact that they scheduled a televised Cabinet meeting, hyped it as a major event, planned it all out to show how active and in control Trump is ... and then he dozed off in the middle of it. Repeatedly.

44% of all American children benefit from Medicaid or SNAP. Republicans' budget guts both programs. Yes: the so-called "party of family values" is putting 34 MILLION kids' health care access and food security at risk.

92% of non-disabled non-elderly adults are working, full-time students, or care-givers. Anyway the work requirement is only 110 billion of their 700 billion + cuts.

Has anyone noticed that the Republican discourse about North Carolina’s storm recovery vanished after the election? Nothing. Not a peep from them. Probably because they don’t want you to know THEY LITERALLY DENIED FUNDING FOR NORTH CAROLINA THIS WEEK! Crazy how that works!

Wow. Rep. Jake Auchincloss minces no words about Signalgate on Piers Morgan: “Pete Hegseth is lying to the American people, lying to Congress, lying to the military.” “It’s incompetence incarnate…It’s embarrassing & it’s dangerous.” This is how it’s done.

@mcopelov.bsky.social Mark, a test of how deep the Article I crisis goes is whether every GOP Senator and Representative is prepared to wave off cabinet officials provably lying to their faces in Congressional hearings while under oath.
