when members of Congress are unable/unwilling to carry out their constitutional responsibilities, that is constitutional failure. rick scott is describing, acknowledging, condoning, and normalizing constitutional failure--even as he occupies a seat in the senate.

My greatest frustrating has been with policy wonks who persist in thinking we can just keep doing normal policy analysis ("calling balls and strikes") in this situation. The President of the United States is both lawless and out of his mind. That preempts all normal discussion.

To bottom line this for you, the Supreme Court has allowed Trump to deport people without giving them a hearing, and said "we will consider next year whether this violated the laws against torture". They think it's worse to make Trump wait than risk him torturing people.

Supreme Court Allows Trump Administration’s Third-Country Deportations, for Now

The court also announced it would hear arguments in December on the legality of the Trump administration policy to swiftly deport immigrants to countries not their own.

There is criminal exposure everywhere you look in this administration, from the obvious of ICE murdering civilians in the streets, to more discrete stuff like insider trading or agencies funneling tax money into pro-Trump ads. This is what wanton corruption looks like, and the hammer must fall.

If “irreparable harm” means anything, it means being sent to a country you’ve never seen, where you may well be imprisoned, tortured, or killed, under a policy that (the cert grant implicitly acknowledges!) may well be illegal

I'm genuinely curious what sort of play this gets in the broader media. Could be: *nothing *Senator can't tell the difference between sports teams! c *big gotcha effort backfiring emblematic of right-wing conspiracy addiction I think the latter story would be most insightful, but less likely

No. Official sources do not show that a president can rename the term "artificial intelligence" itself.

In academia, if you publicly falsely accuse someone of research fraud, you should be so embarrassed that you retreat into your office, never to be seen again In the US Senate, if you publicly falsely accuse a witness of perjury, you just go on with your day and preen about how you were "tough"

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

There's no real point in arguing with his mouth noises, particularly not when preaching to the Bluesky choir, but this is *noteworthy* nonsense. If the revenue were real (it's not), then it would be revenue *of the United States government,* equally available to a Democratic Congress to spend.

In a private discussion today this came up: “We need the January 6th Commission hearings, for DOGE.” One could do a lot with NIH and NSF alone. There are clinical trials that ended, patients that died, young people leaving the US… and bad stuff that happened inside the agencies.

This is a central argument in my new book on emergency presidential power: trump seeks to consolidate the kind of power associated with absolute monarchs, emboldened by the S Ct & Rs in Congress. No guarantee he succeeds, but those are the stakes in this 250th anniversary of US break w/monarchy 1/2

The fact that this was *previously used as a campaign ad during the presidential campaign* removes any real defense as to its purpose. Its not a public service announcement. Its a campaign ad that has become state propaganda.
