Litman: The irony of this just spillth over—because the Biden administration was subject to nationwide injunction after nationwide injunction in cases that didn’t warrant it. And they asked the Supreme Court, “Guys, can you do something about this?” The Republican justices declined to do so.

Republicans are getting what they paid for: a court willing to cede its power to an executive but only if a Republican is in power. But Democrats will retake power, and John Roberts is all but guaranteeing that Trump’s Supreme Court will barely outlast the Trump administration.

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.

Israel's Prime Minister may think no one will notice what he's doing in Gaza while he bombs Iran. People face starvation. 55,000 killed. Aid workers and doctors turned away at the border. Shooting at innocent people desperate for food. The world sees you, Benjamin Netanyahu.

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

NEW: It looks like Palantir is helping Trump build a mega-database of Americans' private information so he can target and spy on his enemies, or anyone. @aoc.bsky.social and I are demanding answers directly from Palantir.

What's fucking chilling is the cop SEES the reporter very clearly doing her journalistic duty, nonviolently. Stares right into the camera, aims, fires. This was an intentional assault on a visible member of the press.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Donald Trump's plan to accept a $400 million jet from a foreign government is corrupt and unconstitutional. He’s making deals for himself while making life less affordable for you.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to spend $1 billion on travel to Mars on Musk's rocket ships while they close Social Security offices and fire Social Security workers. That's not efficiency—that's theft.

Very unusual just how fast Bosch and the other appliance makers immediately called out EPA for reported plans to eliminate Energy Star. Not something you see companies do these days. Energy Star saves average household ~$450/year and is VOLUNTARY

Trump’s plan to end the Energy Star program is a blow to American families and businesses everywhere. This program has saved $500 billion in energy costs over the past 30 years. Energy efficiency isn’t just an environmental solution—it’s an economic one. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Remember: nearly every single one of these "cuts" by the White House is actually money that was budgeted by Congress for every university, organization, etc. This funding was part of ongoing operations and planning. The federal government is essentially breaking contracts with every "cut."

🧵1 The SAVE Act, explained fully in this thread, is up for vote this Thursday. The burdens are extreme. Under this bill, most Americans wouldn’t be able to register to vote using their driver’s license or state-provided ID alone. Here’s why this fascist bill is a massive voter suppression tool.
