Morning Joe is so out of touch with reality, they are desperate for moderation but they still live in 2010.

They’re making fun of the media referring to Kilmar Abrego Garcia as a Maryland man as they threaten to send him to Uganda, a country where he’s never lived. They’re simply fucking vile.

I encourage everyone to read this letter. Please then realize the president is imposing a tax on American consumers to leverage a foreign nation into making a domestic political decision that will help one of his political allies.

Congress & ordinary Americans are expected to watch as our unhinged President seeks to break another nation b/c he was super-friends with their corrupt leader? This is Trump’s version of international pardon power. He’ll use U.S. power - OUR power - to eliminate accountability for other autocrats.

Sotomayor, dissenting, says the majority "does irrevocable damage" to the equal protection clause and "invites legislatures to engage in discrimination by hiding blatant sex classifications in plain sight." She fears the damage in Skrmetti will go well beyond gender-affirming care, and she's right.
This case presents an easy question: whether SB1’s ban
on certain medications, applicable only if used in a manner
“inconsistent with . . . sex,” contains a sex classification.
Because sex determines access to the covered medications,
it clearly does. Yet the majority refuses to call a spade a
spade. Instead, it obfuscates a sex classification that is
plain on the face of this statute, all to avoid the mere possibility that a different court could strike down SB1, or categorical healthcare bans like it. The Court’s willingness to
do so here does irrevocable damage to the Equal Protection
Clause and invites legislatures to engage in discrimination
by hiding blatant sex classifications in plain sight. It also
authorizes, without second thought, untold harm to
transgender children and the parents and families who love
them. Because there is no constitutional justification for
that result, I dissent.

I really wish Dem strategists would just once go on TV and acknowledge that Trump only won by 1.5% and didn't even get a majority before they start with the tiresome "Democrats have completely lost touch with average Americans etc, etc." That's how you think after a landslide loss not a squeaker.
