The problem with your company being ran by pilled reactionaries is that when you run into an actual problem, the only response is more pilled reactionaryism.
"Trump mobile was informed they had been breached, they then replied with 'We have no team to handle this' and that anyone who hacks them are a terrorist," the group wrote "Well unfortunately for them, all 36 1 5 customers and their PIl, alongside telecom details are now up for grabs. Feel free to take a gander at it yourself, don't be shy, we (and them) certainly aren't stopping you."

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Oct In one of the tidal wave of Rep attack ads targeting OH Dem Senate candidate Sherrod Brown, a presumably trans woman accuses him of pushing surgery on minors "like her." The only problem? She had surgery as an adult, not a minor. And she's from Texas, not Ohio.

The Supreme Court’s majority gave no reason for its literal life-and-death decision to wipe out an appeals court order issued earlier today and which was, on its face, intended to be temporary in nature. Sotomayor wrote tonight’s dissent. Order and dissent: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
The Court's decision to vacate that stay interferes with the Sixth Circuit's routine administrative handling of a capital case and unnecessarily prevents that court from giving due consideration to Pike's claim. Worse, the Court grants such extraordinary relief solely to allow the State to execute Pike before litigation over her conviction has properly run its course in the lower courts. I see no reason to short-circuit the ordinary process of appellate review, particularly in light of the grave consequences of an erroneous de-cision. Tennessee's desire to expedite Pike's execution by a few days or even weeks cannot outweigh her "fundamentalinterest in [her] own life." Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U. S. 1,
9 (1985).
In capital cases, "[a]ppreciation of our own fallibility, and respect for the judgment of an appellate tribunal," demand caution before "acting irretrievably." Bowersox v. Williams,
517 U. S. 345, 347 (1996) (Ginsburg, J., dissenting). Indeed, this Court often states that it is "'a court of review, not of first view?" McLane Co. v. EEOC, 581 U.S. 72, 85 (2017) (quoting Cutter v. Wilkinson, 544 U.S. 709, 718, n. 7
(2005)). Today, the Court, as it has too often lately, chooses to overlook that principle precisely when it matters most.

Footnote one is a grenade that will create chaos across the country as the DOJ uses it to argue that every sanctuary policy is unconstitutional. It doesn’t do that, but they will read it that way.
' The dissent argues that sections 1373(a) and (b) do not displace laws restricting information sharing with DHS because "[w]hen a law imposes an express restriction on disclosure, it is that law—not an 'entity, 'offi- cial, 'person,' or 'agency'-that is doing the 'prohibit[ing]'
or re- strict[ing]." Post, at 7 (opinion of JACKSON, J.). But the distinction the dissent draws between laws and those tasked with enforcing them is il- lusory. Sections 1373(a) and (b) prohibit any "entity," "official," "person," or "agency" from "prohibit [ing]" or "in any way restrictling]" the request for or receipt of information regarding immigration status. (Emphasis added.) Those prohibitions necessarily include invoking a law to deny a
request for or transfer of such information.
