Theodoric Meyer and Ellen Nakashima's WaPo article on the classified briefing on US attack on Iran is soooo bad. "Some Republicans spoke as though they had attended a different briefing." Can you note that Republicans these days parrot whatever is the Trump line?

I know people are used to what "originalists" do by now: But I will never accept the fact that these motherfuckers are literally citing the English High Court of Chancery as the ACTUAL REASON courts can't stop Trump takign away birthright citizenship.

I have never seen an emptier statement than the highlighted sentence from Justice Barrett's majority opinion today. Whatever abstract "duty" the President has to follow the law, it's absolutely meaningless if he does not share that sense of duty and the courts cannot compel him to comply with it.

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until now to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

The Supreme Court is about to go on an extended summer vacation, after having blown up the docket of every single lower court judge who has been working like a dog to deal with the firehose of illegal orders coming out of this administration.

Paris & @annehidalgo.bsky.social are praised for their visionary, progressive city-building, but they don’t get nearly enough credit for just being really pragmatic! Everything they’re doing is common sense. They’re moving a lot more people with less space while cleaning the air & cooling the city.

It would be very interesting to convene a group of like 20 normal people and ask them how they think the immigration system should work. Not whether it should be "tougher," but literally, how they think people should be able to apply for residency.

NEW: The Trump admin finalized an emergency regulation, which goes into effect tomorrow, authorizing DHS to impose civil monetary penalties for immigration law violations with far less due process. The rule could lead to DHS imposing exorbitant fines on millions of people — fines they can't afford.

Since Mamdani won the Dem NYC mayor nomination with a free bus proposal, let's talk about free transit. Research suggests that free transit: a—increases ridership b—doesn't get people out of cars c—benefits youth, elderly & low-income ppl d—doesn't add employment e—maybe ups operational efficiency

Mallahan goes after Harrell. Even if Wilson and Mallahan haven't made a Mamdani-Lander alliance, they seem aligned on this: We don't need a billionaire-coddling, hostile-workplace-creating, abuser-defending dude to stay in power. Love to see it! rondezvous.beehiiv.com/p/joe-mallah...

apropos of nothing in particular, did you know that when people "passed away" in Nazi camps due to privation, disease or brutal treatment, history remembers that as acts of murder?

To put it another way: Zohran Mamdani received more than 432,000 votes, which would have won you 10 different states last November.

Still struggling with the idea that the President authorized a country, with which we were engaged in armed conflict, to attack a US base with US soldiers in harm's way ("gunners") and it isn't a bigger story. This goes beyond even impeachment and removal from office.

Each time a remotely progressive candidate wins office in the US, the rich declare they're going to leave town. What do they actually do? Nothing. A 2016 study found only 0.04% of millionaires move in a given year due to tax increases. Rich people talk to feel important. Please properly tax them.

The corporate charter of the Nippon Steel takeover of US Steel gives Donald J. Trump personal power over the company. @mmasnick.bsky.social wonders what to call this, since it ain't nationalization. It's classic fascist authoritarianism.
