Senator Murkowski cut a backroom deal to exempt Alaska from Medicaid cuts, but the Senate parliamentarian shut it down. Protecting your own state while harming millions elsewhere is selfishness and disgusting.

2.977 people died on 9/11. The daily quote for ICE is 3000. I think putting it in terms like that puts it into perspective. They want one 9/11 every day.

We need to mandate ONE ISSUE PER ONE BILL! Sick of unrelated, unnecessary amendments added to necessary bills. That's how they pass crap legislation, hiding JUNK in other bills we absolutely need passed. ONE ISSUE, ONE BILL! NO MORE LEGISLATIVE AMENDMENTS!

Not only are ICE bounty hunters, who look more like criminals than law enforcement, abducting people from workplaces & off the street—we’re now seeing they’re being held in private detention centers w/some of the most deplorable conditions imaginable. REPEAT: people are profiting from this cruelty.

MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF

John Roberts Jr. is the tip of the spear of a vast conspiracy by the Federalist Society, Heritage Foundation, and others to topple the Union and install the Confederacy. They are non-American enemies ♥️🤍💙

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it. - Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders. - Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

Miami just canceled its November election & pushed it to 2026. No public vote, just canceled. Mayor Suarez & Joe Carollo get to stick around an extra year. This feels like a power grab. If one city can delay elections for “participation,” what’s to stop others from doing it to silence opposition?

"The rule of law is not a given in this Nation, nor any other. It is a precept of our democracy that will endure only if those brave enough in every branch fight for its survival. Today, the Court abdicates its vital role in that effort." —Justice Sotomayor

If they want a fucking fight we will give them one! Power to the People! It’s more than just words, we must act. It’s past protest. We must run for offices and we must win. We must defeat them and remove them from power! It is our only option if we want to save our country and our way of life.

They bend every law, they break every law, they hack voting machines, they deploy roving gangs of thugs to steal people off the street, they openly embrace racism, they lie nonstop, they incite political violence, and much more. Their evil knows no limits. Then they claim to be followers of Jesus.

I keep telling people if want to know how this Supreme Court will rule you don't need to be a lawyer nor a legal expert. Just look at the GOP position on an issue. That is how they will rule. Today's Supreme Court is simply part of the GOP political apparatus.

Justice Sotomayor: "No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates. Today, the threat is to birthright citizenship. Tomorrow, a different administration may try to seize firearms from law-abiding citizens or prevent people of certain faiths from gathering to worship."

The conservative Supreme Court has given Donald Trump blank check after blank check. Now they have made it more difficult to block this administration’s illegal actions—yes, on birthright citizenship but also across the board.

1) SCOTUS: trump is free to violate millions of people’s constitutional rights, and nothing can stop him until a months or years-long Supreme Court battle plays out. For the millions of citizens trump’s executive order targeted, and anyone else he decides to go after – there’s no legal remedy until

Part of what is so frustrating about these Supreme Court rulings is how fucking avoidable this shit was. More than one unforced error got us here, but maybe the biggest one is Dems treating the GOP as anything other than an enemy. This was never a game, but they continue to treat it like one.

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court placed new limits on the power of lower courts to issue nationwide injunctions. This ruling from the far-right Supreme Court rubber-stamps President Donald Trump’s efforts to undermine our nation’s rule of law. Read CAP's statement from @doo-dc.bsky.social:

A 6-3 conservative majority Supreme Court ruling limited the impact of injunctions against Trump’s attempts to restrict birthright citizenship. NYU Law Professor Melissa Murray criticized the ruling, stating it hinders legal challenges and undermines the rule of law. www.rawstory.com/supreme-cour...

The “State of Exception” or Ausnahmezustand, is a legal concept by Nazi legal theorist Carl Schmitt, that a strong executive sovereign can step forward, ignore the law and issue extralegal acts, theoretically for the public good but that depends how you define “public”
