Among the guests at Bove’s confirmation party was Jeffrey Clark. In 2023, Clark was criminally charged alongside Bove’s former client, Donald Trump, for their alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Today, DC Bar regulators recommended that Clark be disbarred. bsky.app/profile/anna...

The FDA appeared to move closer to realizing RFK Jr.’s goal of getting people off antidepressants, quietly convening a so-called expert panel to discuss selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and pregnancy. The result was a misinformation fest.

Trump’s federal prosecutor in LA can’t seem to get grand juries to indict protestors. I’m gonna guess it’s because there are no crimes. This debunks the “massive increase in assaults” claim, as well as the claims that LA is “lawless”, or that the national guard is necessary.

Absolutely surreal to watch White House reporters ask Leavitt questions about tariffs moments after she and Gabbard used this briefing to baselessly accuse Obama of crimes punishable by death. We’re a sick joke of a country.

This is amazing. Yesterday Trump claimed he talked to his uncle about how brilliant the Unabomber was when the Unabomber was a student of his at MIT. The Unabomber never went to MIT, he was identified in 1996, and his uncle died in 1985.

NEW: SCOTUS shoots down a federal judge’s effort to protect eight men from being expelled—without due process—to South Sudan, where they face torture and death. Dissenting, Sotomayor says the court’s “indefensible” decision makes it complicit in “lawlessness.” www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting
adjudicating this case. But if this Court wishes to permit the Government to flout the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Due Process Clause, it cannot avoid accountability for that lawlessness by tasking the lower courts with inventing a rationale. The Court's continued refusal to justify its extraordinary decisions in this case, even as it faults lower courts for failing properly to divine their import, is indefensible.

"In a democracy, power implies responsibility. The greater the power that defies law the less tolerant can this Court be of defiance. As the Nation's ultimate judicial tri-bunal, this Court, beyond any other organ of society, is the trustee of law and charged with the duty of securing obedience to it." Mine Workers, 330 U.S., at 312 (Frankfurter,
J., concurring in judgment). This Court continues to invert those principles. Today's order clarifies only one thing:
Other litigants must follow the rules, but the administration has the Supreme Court on speed dial. Respectfully, I dissent.

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until *now* to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

Again, the GOP majority of the SC issues a wishy washy decision that gives Trump more power but doesn’t solve anything. They came to a decision about the federal courts REACTION to Trump’s birthright citizenship suspension BEFORE a decision about whether he has the executive authority to do so.

Breaking: In a 6-3 ruling, the conservative justices just ruled that nationwide injunctions likely exceed the authority Congress has given the courts. In doing so, the Court is narrowing nationwide injunctions that blocked Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship.
