Isgur is such a fucking hack. the case she’s referring to is one where the 5th Circuit entered a stay and it was appealed to SCOTUS. the case in the Times story involved the Court intervening to stay an EPA rule while a lower court was still adjudicating the issue.
Sarah Isgur QTing the NYT shadow docket story: In 2014 and 2015, the Court used the “shadow docket” to stop Texas’ anti-abortion restrictions from going into effect while the case was pending. The left was thrilled with the shadow docket at that point—years before this case even existed…

Donald Trump is currently waging an illegal war in Iran using our tax money to kill schoolchildren. At home they're teaching ICE to ignore the Constitution, kidnap kids and use them as bait and torture them in concentration camps. I think no kings matters more than ever

Pretty fitting given the people in charge of things that basically every attempted official justification for what the US was going for in Iran and why they hadn't foreseen any of the extremely foreseeable consequences is basically at the level of something you'd hear during a field sobriety stop.

President Trump now says it was Attorney General Pam Bondi who insisted DNI Tulsi Gabbard attend the FBI raid in Georgia. Last night, he told NBC he didn't know why she was there. And Gabbard said in a letter to Congress that "the president specifically directed my observance of the execution of the Fulton County search warrant."

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
