In terms of American democracy this is probably the most important information I’ve seen from the Epstein files. This is probably much bigger than the Trump tower meeting, Manafort giving Deripaska info via Kilimnik, etc. This is a direct link btwn the Russian gov’t & the top of Trump’s campaign

Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration. Congress can: - Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage) - Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes - Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same - Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction It can be done.

This decision is bad enough on the merits. But it also gives the government relief in a case in which it defied the district court at least *twice.* That’s quite a message to send to the government with respect to the costs of its litigation behavior in other cases—or the complete lack thereof.

Today the GOP justices on the Supreme Court endorsed migrants being sold into slavery. They'll claim otherwise, but that's the reality — today's decision permits Trump to send people from countries around the world to any global hellhole that accepts a U.S. financial incentive.

I cannot express this enough: If and when the tide turns away from fascism, you cannot mistake a ceasefire for peace. They never, ever want peace. You must persecute those responsible to the ends of the earth. You must make future generations fear a repeat of their fate.

I'm trying to imagine a Democratic president saying openly and proudly that he would be sending federal agents to target the 'Republican Power Center' in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. We would be in the midst of a civil war before he'd finished saying those words.

Remarkable scenes at Belaya airfield in Irkutsk, Russia. Ukraine has launched a devastating attack on Russia’s fleet of strategic bombers. The base is over 4000 km from Ukraine, but $500 drones are currently wiping out $100 million planes. Russia’s Pearl Harbor.
Plumes of thick black smoke are seen on the horizon at drones strike the Russian bombers. The photo was first published by security analyst and journalist, Jimmy Rushton on X at 12.50 BST on June 1.

They were accompanied by a small team securing the building and assessing maintenance needs.
