A TERRIFIC piece from Kate Shaw @kateshaw.bsky.social - who situates what SCOTUS did in allowing Trump to fire MSPB & NLRB commissioners in the larger context of Trump's lawless, aggressive, anticonstitutional exercises of executive power: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/o...

Those on the high court often exercise caution in their choice of words. That is why it was striking when she used an audience of lawyers to deliver a stern message to the legal profession: stand up for democracy, take on the hard fights and do whatever you can to win.

It is bracing to reread the Framers’ bone-deep fears about foreign corruption of the presidency and realize Trump is exactly what they were trying to prevent. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Something I hope everyone covers this tomorrow notes is that...the President has no authority whatsoever to make trade deals without congress. None. Not even the pretext of one.

While you highlight it, please note is the product of local journalism, which has been carrying a lot of the burden in an environment where national outlets simply can't cover everything everywhere all at once. Support your local journalists!

"They want obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay the longer hours the reduced benefits the end of overtime and the vanishing pension" ~George Carlin

So, uh, which part of the Supreme Court decision allowing the government to force people into concentration camps is supposd to be "overruled"?

I remember last year (maybe the year before that?), I tweeted that Korematsu was never explicitly overruled and a few lawyers disagreed with me on that. SCOTUS could have made the language explicit. They did not. We pay for the sins of the past.

From my visit last week to the Topaz Internment Camp, where Fred Korematsu was interned. This quote still sticks with me.

thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning: "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

Lady Gaga could sit and read the phone book and I would still pay money to see her. I don’t know who these people are thinking they are/were little monsters. Somebody lied to them several times, they are nothing of the sort.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren: "If Pete Hegseth had even a sliver of self respect and sense of honor, he would have already put his resignation on the president's desk. And if he's not willing to do that, then the President of the United States has a moral, and in my view, legal obligation to fire him."

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

The latest news from Trump's America is that his Supreme Court said that there can be more shit in the water and overruled the EPA's clean water standards. All the women, including ACB, dissent from befouling the oceans. But the boys aren't housebroken. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
