i'm not over Alito saying we shouldn't count ballots that are mailed on or before Election Day but arrive shortly afterwards bc they can “radically flip” the “apparent outcome” cannot stress enough that, until all ballots are counted, there's no outcome to flip! ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/alito...

Trump personally intervened in the DOJ’s case against LiveNation-Ticketmaster, reportedly telling top officials to “settle it.” LiveNation donated $500K to Trump’s inauguration, then hired a law firm with close ties to Trump weeks before the scheduled trial. The corruption is endless.

If you aren't very aware of Barton and his movement, I suggest changing that, as his work has been central to the broader Christian nationalist movement and is only becoming more and more mainstream in GOP circles. Here's a good primer I wrote on him late last year:

From the reporter who scooped the news that Treasury's GC was quitting, IRS wrote a 25-page memo about why Trump's IRS lawsuit was dogshit. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/a...

I.R.S. officials prepared a 25-page memorandum outlining what they saw as flaws in Mr. Trump’s suit and advising the Justice Department to move to dismiss it, according to two people familiar with the memo. That memo was provided to Treasury officials in April, and it is unclear if they passed it along to its intended recipients at the Justice Department, according to the people, who spoke anonymously to discuss internal government deliberations.

No lawyers from the Justice Department ever appeared in court to respond to the suit or disputed any of Mr. Trump’s claims, which demanded at least $10 billion from the I.R.S. for not doing enough to prevent the leak of his tax information. The Justice Department instead made to a highly unusual deal in the case. In exchange for Mr. Trump dropping the suit, the Trump administration created the $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund for people who say they were wrongly targeted by the federal government.

The existence of the internal memo, which has not been previously reported, shows that the Trump administration disregarded readily available defenses to a lawsuit filed by the president against an agency he controls. While the Justice Department has said that Mr. Trump will not receive money from the new fund, critics have slammed the arrangement as a corrupt attempt at paying Mr. Trump’s political supporters, including, potentially, those who were convicted and later pardoned for storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

More fallout from Callais: SCOTUS wipes out two decisions involving the rights of private plaintiffs (rather than the DOJ) to bring a claim under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. KBJ dissents. These are less important now that Section 2 has been gutted... www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

BD. OF ELECTION COMM'RS, ET AL. V. NAACP, ET AL.
The judgment is vacated, and the case is remanded to the
United States District Court for the Southern District of
Mississippi for further consideration in light of Louisiana v.
Callais, 608 U. S. ___ (2026). Justice Jackson, dissenting:
This case presents only the question of Section 2’s private
enforceability, which our decision in Louisiana v. Callais,
608 U. S. ___ (2026), did not address. Thus I see no basis for
vacating the lower court’s judgment. Instead, in light of Morse
v. Republican Party of Va., 517 U. S. 186 (1996), I would
summarily affirm.
CERTIORARI -- SUMMARY DISPOSITION
25-253 TURTLE MOUNTAIN BAND, ET AL. V. HOWE, SEC. OF STATE OF ND
The petition for a writ of certiorari is granted. The
judgment is vacated, and the case is remanded to the United
States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit for further
consideration in light of Louisiana v. Callais, 608 U. S. ___
(2026). Justice Jackson, dissenting: This case presents only
the question of Section 2’s private enforceability, which our
decision in Louisiana v. Callais, 608 U. S. ___ (2026), did not
address. Thus I see no basis for vacating the lower court’s
judgment. Instead, in light of Morse v. Republican Party of
Va., 517 U. S. 186 (1996), I would summarily reverse.

But if SCOTUS holds that private plaintiffs can't enforce Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, then it would mean that ONLY Trump's Justice Department can do so. KBJ is objectively correct in dissent: Callais didn't address this question at all, so today's decisions are inexplicable and strange.
