Dear MAGA, this country has survived and thrived with constutional interpretations upheld by the Supreme Court in each of these cases for 250 years. It is Trump who is trying to destroy the country, not the court.

Theodore Roosevelt once said republics rise, flourish, and fall because their citizens turn the government into a tool primarily to benefit one class instead of benefiting the people as a whole, and I think about what he said quite a lot.

There are a ton of videos out there featuring unbelievable athletic feats! But, yes, AI slop has entered this genre of the internet as well with engagement bait accounts that produce one fabricated stunt after another. Can you spot the fake? #2TruthsAndAI

I just saw this and I'm done for the day. I mean, why would I care about any of this. It doesn't put food on the table. It doesn't solve health care. It doesn't move the needle on anything that matters. Yet it gets coverage in a major publication? That is how low we have gone.

If it’s safe enough to mail your tax refund, your Social Security check, your prescriptions, your passport, etc.… it’s safe enough to mail your ballot. The double standard was never about security. It’s about who they’re scared will actually show up. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies

What’s sad to me… is that Lindsay Graham probably thought he could outlast Trump and then reconcile his morality after that. There is no after that now. It’s a good reminder… always do what you know to be right, right NOW. And when you recognize you crossed a line, that’s ok, but come back.

The thing you need to understand is that there are 2 (TWO) different method for amending the constitution 1) The process laid out in the constititon itself (conventions, or 2/3's of both houses followed by 3/4 of states ratifying) OR 2) find five votes on the Supreme Court.

Another woman gets liked out of Trump's cabinet. Not that she didn't deserve it but when is he going to fire the equally incompetent male members of his cabinet?

The new WH ballroom is actually smaller than the Hilton’s. It would not accommodate the number of guests for WHCD.

kind of amazing that everything trump does can be understood through the lens of narcissism and it's related needs (e.g., self aggrandizement, revenge, domination, grievance validation). i don't think any character has been so one-dimensional, not even wile e coyote or scrooge mcduck

This, from @jamellebouie.net is exactly right. And I think so many folks have refused to see or admit what Trump is because admitting implicates them, or their families, so denial is easier.
For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career — from his embrace of birtherism to his hatred of birthright citizenship — cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism.

Trump is not profound. He has been the same person this whole time. The question is why so many others have refused to see what he has never bothered to hide.

A former federal agent after watching the New York Times breakdown of the ICE shooting:
I watched it, that actually makes it much worse. He never should have been in front of the SUV. We are trained do not get in front of a vehicle like that, there’s only bad outcomes.  Also, his video clearly shows she was not surreptitiously reaching for any objects within the vehicles drivers compartment, so the only defense for the agent would be that she was trying to run him over, which clearly isn’t the case, as emphasized by the fact that his legs were out of the way. The video also shows the SUV was moving so slowly that even in icy conditions he should’ve just moved out of the way. In the department of justice we are prohibited from using deadly force purely to prevent escape. Bad shoot all around
