Political cartoonists spend careers hunting for one visual detail that carries all the weight. Marco Rubio’s Florsheims just handed it to them: a two-inch gap between heel and leather. They could draw just that for years and tell the whole story.

"sicko fan" and "sycophant" mean the same thing, so it's kinda a mute point.

🚨BREAKING: State election leaders and voting rights advocates across the country are blasting U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi for exploiting the killing of a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis by a federal immigration officer to “blackmail” Minnesota into handing over access to its unredacted voter rolls.

Before the march yesterday, we sang together in Salt Lake City. “Lean on Me” as a reminder that community is how we endure, and how we resist oppression and political cruelty.

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

“A rare GOP rebellion on Capitol Hill rattled the West Wing and embarrassed Trump. And although the White House likes to project a political image of never surrendering, a pair of retreats in the past few days has punctured Trump’s aura of invincibility” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

NEW: The Fourth Circuit REJECTS the Trump admin's appeal of Judge Xinis's orders to "facilitate" Kilmar Abrego Garcia's release: "We shall not micromanage the efforts of a fine district judge attempting to implement the Supreme Court's recent decision." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
WILKINSON, Circuit Judge, with whom KING and THACKER, Circuit Judges, join:
Upon review of the government's motion, the court denies the motion for an
emergency stay pending appeal and for a writ of mandamus. The relief the government is
requesting is both extraordinary and premature. While we fully respect the Executive's
robust assertion of its Article II powers, we shall not micromanage the efforts of a fine
district judge attempting to implement the Supreme Court's recent decision.

It means that if the rule of law is disregarded, by the Executive ignoring due process or court orders, it will lead, eventually, to the death of the law itself.

Logistically impossible. 2.1M troops can’t control 330M people across 3.8M sq miles. Most wouldn’t obey unlawful orders. Resistance would be widespread, decentralized, and hard to suppress.

J. J. Saxton @roobik.bsky.social · 17/04/2025
Instead, we should project firm expectation: the executive must follow the law and obey court orders. Failing to assert this signals surrender, as if we’ve already accepted being overrun.

It’s true the judiciary has limited enforcement power, but constantly emphasizing that fact only feeds a defeatist mindset.

J. J. Saxton @roobik.bsky.social · 17/04/2025
Absolutely. A functioning democracy depends on the rule of law applying to everyone, especially those in power. When we lower our expectations or stay silent in the face of defiance, we’re not being realistic, we’re being complicit.

Agreed. I'm hoping his administration's misdeeds will ultimately come to light and justice will prevail, hopefully sooner rather than later.

I hate to sound callous, because I do care about Mr Garcia's well-being, but the bigger issue at hand is preserving the checks and balances of our government. If it takes two weeks to do this right, it takes two weeks.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

This is just sheer brazen criminality by DOJ. Adams gets federal corruption charges dropped not because there isn’t overwhelming evidence, but because he agrees to help Homan round up migrants. And Homan says the charges will be refiled if Adams doesn’t “come through.”
