Right-leaning social accounts are going to be all about "we are winning and Dems are now losing" 24/7/365. Elon will amplify, so will Russia and all MAGA allies. It's how they closed out both 2022 and 2024 and it's happening again now.

Yes, yes, the authoritarian president is leading a hate-filled rally in which he urges his followers to physically assault protesters but do NOT call any of these people Nazis or you will make David Brooks sad.

Appreciate the direct link Chris’s post makes between the Supreme Court repeatedly making shit up to suit its agenda, and hack Trump appointees on the lower courts who decide that they are perfectly within their rights to do the same thing

Trump banning media outlets from the WH over their coverage is unlikely to affect their reporting much, but it is yet another example of how the right wing definition of “free speech” is that they can say what they want and you can say what they want. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

the fact that the Trump admin keeps deporting people in violation of court orders suggests that it requires a stronger incentive to abide by court orders and judges *have options* for punishing noncompliance and compelling the admin to follow the law use them! ballsandstrikes.org/ethics-accou...

Your voters HATE the Supreme Court! You do not need to profess to have “great respect” for the institution! You do not need to tiptoe around expansion anymore! “Put me in office and I will vote to put Sam Alito in the minority forever” is as much of a slam dunk as a stump speech line gets!

Here’s the deal: Trump does NOT have the legal authority to build a ballroom. Legally, it’s not even a close call. But at this point, I have ZERO faith that this Supreme Court gives a flying fuck about the rule of law when it comes to this President. We are in a horribly bad, dangerous place.

In the american context communism is mostly unrelated to economics. Any progressive redistributive policy is communism, as is any egalitarianism of race, gender, or sexual orientation. Integration is communism, women in the workplace is communism, marriage equality is communism. It's deeply stupid.

I find the discourse around "wokeness" to be dishonest and tedious, but this is what I wrote about it a couple of years ago and I think it remains correct: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
I could go on, but I think you get the point. These things are real; they happened. To believe that the disadvantages of race, class, and gender imposed lawfully over centuries never occurred or entirely disappeared in just a few decades is genuinely “radical” in a negative way; to believe that creating those disadvantages was wrong and that they should be rectified is not. The idea that no one ever succeeds based on advantages unrelated to their personal abilities is likewise radical, and also ludicrous. But you can, perhaps, understand why one of the richest men in the world would consider the opposing idea—that where many people end up in life is the result of unearned advantages—to be a “woke mind virus” that should be eradicated. That kind of thinking leads to higher marginal tax rates for people with private planes.

Some people so deeply resent the implication that they possess any unearned advantage that, in Republican-run states all over the country, the same folks who were recently shrieking about free speech and oversensitive snowflakes are busy using the power of the state to ban discussions about factual matters that might hurt their feelings, such as descriptions of racial segregation in the story of Rosa Parks. The irony here is that by framing everything they don’t like as a symptom of pervasive oppression against white people or Christians that must be rectified by the state, they have themselves adopted the inverse of the logic they decry as “wokeness.” They believe that America’s demographic majorities are the targets of broad institutional discrimination, which is unjust not because such discrimination is morally abhorrent but because it is targeted at the wrong people.

When it inevitably comes out that McConnell hasn’t been conscious since his collapse on June 14, let’s all remember that the Senate Majority Leader and Whip said they’d talked to him the day after he got CPR and that he was “engaged” (both of them used that exact word!) and would be back soon.

The headlines celebrating birthright citizenship as a "win" are driving me insane. When the Supreme Court is controlled by a six-justice conservative supermajority, a "win" for the liberals just means that a very fragile status quo gets to survive for a little longer.

Stiff competition, but for me, birthright citizenship is the worst case the Supreme Court decided this term. Even though it came out the right way, learning that 4 of 9 justices are fully in "the Constitution means whatever Mister Trump tweets" territory is...really alarming.

The legal arguments for Trump's birthright citizenship executive order are vapid and embarrassing. Multiple lower court judges legit laughed DOJ lawyers out of the room. The fact that four Supreme Court justices twisted themselves into logical pretzels to buy it is a constitutional emergency.
