If the Supreme Court is concerned about its declining public legitimacy and thinks too many Americans are calling the Supreme Court illegitimate, the majority could try not issuing bad faith rulings that illegitimately distort law in pursuit of undemocratic partisan power. That’s always an option.

We completely obliterated Iran’s nuclear program. It’s gone. Fake news will never admit this. So anyway, we have to send hundreds of billions of dollars worth of equipment to the Middle East and have a major war to stop Iran from building nuclear weapons.

The orange felon is now suing both the IRS and Treasury for $10B over some made-up frivolous bullshit. The scumbag has turned the US Government into a weapon aimed at his foes as well as his own personal money laundering operation. Blatant corruption in broad daylight.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

The gleeful intellectual dishonesty on display for this Voting Rights Act case is stunning. They upheld the VRA in identical circumstances in an Alabama case two years ago and are now poised to strike it down or cripple it so substantially that it doesn't matter.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

As the people who insist otherwise try to burn the country, it's important to affirm that immigrants, from everywhere, are awesome, and America is better the more immigrants we have. You have to be just empty and vapid and unimaginably small to reject that.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Scott Jennings is either lying or wildly misinformed about what happened in Chicago. He keeps claiming 37 Tren de Aragua gang members were arrested. As if it excuses zip tying kids. DHS says 37 were arrested, and only 2 were suspected gang members. Van Lathan gets it. We can’t lose our humanity.
