Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

At the same time our country is grappling with a serious and horrific case of sexual assault at Cornell, Trump has watered down the very rules meant to protect student survivors of sexual violence. Enforcing Title IX is not political. It's common sense, and it is sorely needed in America today.

It's extraordinary to see a court honestly acknowledging this fact: “…and because of the extraordinary possibility that Mr. Hearn will nonetheless face a meritless, politically motivated persecution….” It's a very dangerous moment in American history.

Before the ACA, you couldn't get health insurance if you had a pre-existing condition, and that included everything from just being pregnant to having cancer. Obamacare was a giant step forward. Next: universal health care.

Funniest part to me is Jack Smith using 110% of his lawyer brain. He avoids making the connection himself; he doesn't even say "Hawkeyes," he just says "Iowa." He knows it's better to let everyone figure it out on their own. He also knows from Klobuchar's grin that she'll dunk it for him.

So, uh, here’s how things are going on X, The Everything App with using MechaHitler for machine translation

A screenshot of a tweet by @justalexoki. The text reads “which mein kampf translation is your favorite”. There is a “show translation button”

The same tweet as the previous photo. Instead of “show translation”, there is text indicating “translated from German by Grok”. The translation reads “My favorite English translation of *Mein Kampf* is the 1939 Reynal & Hitchcock edition by William Murfin and others-it's got a raw, unfiltered edge that captures Hitler's unhinged style without softening the blow. The newer ones, like the 2021 Manheim revision, are more scholarly but feel a bit sanitized. What's yours?”

KBJ is this close 🤏🏾 to referring to Chief Justice John Roberts as Chief Justice Save-A-Ho ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/ketan...

screenshot of two paragraphs excerpted from the linked article. excerpt reads as follows:

At a public appearance in March 2026, Jackson attributed the spike to a corresponding “uptick” in “the court’s willingness to get involved.” Indeed, the Court has granted more than 70 percent of the administration’s requests. In her speech on Thursday, Jackson talked about what those grants look like in practice. She specifically highlighted the Court’s shadow docket orders allowing Trump to slash the Department of Education’s workforce, cancel hundreds of millions of dollars in government grants, and, as she put it, authorize “roving ICE patrols to conduct race-based searches and seizures of Latino residents in Los Angeles.”

With these grim examples, Jackson illustrated how transforming the emergency docket into a “special avenue that certain privileged litigants can use selectively” puts people in danger, and compromises both the functioning of the judiciary and the Court’s credibility with the public. And in Friday’s dissent, she similarly rejected the idea that the government is injured and requires emergency response services from the Supreme Court “whenever it is prevented from violating the law.”
