Q: On the ban, what does that mean in practice? Are you taking away their badges? TRUMP: When you say 'the ban,' which ban? Do you know how many bans I'm involved in? I've got more bans going than anyone! Q: But what does it mean? T: I still don't know -- oh, the ban on the free press, right?

Genuinely an insane paragraph from Sam Alito. “Voter fraud is real and scary and we have to stop it, so the fact that implementing Trump’s mail ballot rule will disenfranchise millions is legally irrelevant.” Brain melted. A right-wing podcaster in a robe. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
___, (slip op., at 9) (internal quotation marks omitted).
As for the equities, the Government has a strong interest
in enforcing the rule, and implementing it will also “en-
hance the visibility of Federal Ballot Mail” in order to better
detect election fraud. 91 Fed. Reg. 54972. On the other side
of the balance, the plaintiff States invoke the practical ef-
fects of implementing the rule close to the midterm elec-
tions. I take that problem very seriously, but it is not
enough to convince me to deny the application.
First, as the District Court acknowledged, the States dis-

I call Elon Musk a Nazi because he's an avowed white supremacist who undermines democracies, incites pogroms, targets minorities, intentionally caused the death of >750,000 people (so far) while laughing about it ("feeding USAID into the wood chipper"), and did a Sieg Heil at Trump's inauguration.

Stephen Miller’s pathological hatred of immigrants has made stupidity and cruelty official policy across every department of the federal government. “Only American citizens and green card holders can be airport janitors” is ridiculous. This man legally worked there for almost 30 years!
But last summer, Ms. Molina, 65, was abruptly fired from her $19.75-per-hour cleaning job, alongside dozens of other immigrants who have long legally worked at Logan. Her supervisor told her she no longer had clearance to enter secure areas at the airport. The Trump administration had decided that only U.S. citizens, green card holders and others with more permanent forms of residency should be granted access, according to a lawsuit that a labor union filed in federal court.
"I didn't understand what was going on," said Ms. Molina, who has been living legally in the United States under Temporary Protected Status, a humanitarian program that shelters people from troubled countries until they can safely return home. "I had worked hard at my job. This news put me in a state of shock."

It’s worth noting that when Jan. 6 happened, the pro-Trump right used dozens of conspiracy theories to try and offload blame from themselves—e.g., claiming it was “antifa,” “feds.” Now, they seem keen to just admit they did it—all of it—and it was good.

That's weird because all the illegal immigrants *I* see don't seem to have much money at all. Trump's personal wealth, however, has increased 165% in the last 18 months. Musk's wealth has nearly doubled. I'm pretty sure the people with all the money are the people taking your money.

The agreement to end the Trump family's lawsuit against the IRS grants a commission broad authority to distribute nearly $1.8 billion to those who, like the president, have claimed they have been targets of a

The Religious Right is desperate these days to pretend that "Christian Nationalism" is (1) a recently-invented term and (2) a pejorative invented by their enemies, but neither of those claims is remotely true. Here's a short thread, but I'm sure other historians will have examples too.

The whole GOP talks like this and it's cult-speak. It doesn't even work on its own logic: if hydrocarbons are so precious and lack replacements, we should minimize unnecessary use by implementing as many replacements as we can. Which means expanding solar/wind and battery use where possible.

Democratic women are more likely than Republican men to say they could win a fight with Donald Trump

Dem men: 82%
Dem women: 71%
