I am an uppity woman of a certain age. Yes, I have a potty mouth, and I'm not afraid to use it.

The Turning Point USA Half Time show broken down into two minutes - the highs, the lows, the poor audio production and overuse of pyrotechnics. A 55-year-old man dancing around in shorts. It was everything and nothing all at once.

Much like the film Conclave depicts, the upcoming conclave has very real and potentially dire consequences far beyond what language is used in the liturgy. It is a Holy Civil War fighting for the very soul, should one still exist within it, of the largest Christian denomination.

“The federal government reaching out to our personal cellphones to identify who is Jewish is incredibly sinister,” said Barnard associate professor Debbie Becher. “They are clearly targeting what most of the United States defines as freedom of speech, but only in the case of anti-Israeli speech.”

Jose Hermosillo was arrested on April 8 by CBP in Tucson and detained for 10 days. His family provided documentation proving his American citizenship, days after being taken into custody, according to court records and Department of Homeland Security assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.

Revere didn’t wait for the perfect plan. He didn’t file paperwork. He didn’t need mass approval. He mounted that horse on April 18, 1775, because he saw something coming — and knew silence was complicity.

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...
Respondents emphasize that Abrego Garcia was improperly removed to El Sal-
vador because, although he could be removed anywhere else in the world under a
2019 order of removal, that order granted statutory withholding of removal to El Sal-
vador alone. But, while the United States concedes that removal to El Salvador was
an administrative error, see App., infra, 60a, that does not license district courts to
seize control over foreign relations, treat the Executive Branch as a subordinate dip-
lomat, and demand that the United States let a member of a foreign terrorist organ-
ization into America tonight. For starters, because MS-13 members such as Abrego
Garcia have since been designated members of a foreign terrorist organization, they
are no longer eligible for withholding of removal under 8 U.S.C. 1231(b)(3)(B). Fur-
ther, the United States has ensured that aliens removed to CECOT in El Salvador
will not be tortured, and it would not have removed any alien to El Salvador for such
detention if doing so would violate its obligations under the Convention Against Tor-
ture. Moreover, respondents treat the relief here as “routine,” Resp. C.A. Stay
Opp. 1, but that relief goes far beyond merely facilitating an alien’s return, which is
what courts have ordered in other cases. This order—and its demand to accomplish
sensitive foreign negotiations post-haste, and effectuate Abrego Garcia’s return to-
night—is unprecedented and indefensible.

The Insurrection Act was last invoked in 1992 during the Rodney King riots. It’s meant to be used sparingly, not as a fallback plan when your approval ratings are drowning in sewage and your “border war” turns out to be a racist fever dream held together with chicken wire and Tucker Carlson’s tears.

Pundits hate simplicity. If something is simple you don’t have to have pundit expertise to explain it. Trump Cabinet now has a public record as the stupidest Cabinet in history. This isn’t complicated. They are stupid rich people. Any analysis that doesn’t begin with their stupidity is stupid.

The evangelical leaders who defend Trump aren’t prophets — they’re powerbrokers masquerading as moral authorities. They aren’t preaching redemption — they’re selling excuses.
