Barack Obama is going to come out of retirement to drone strike Zohran Mamdani

So Republicans want to rush the vote on the Big Ugly Bill because the more people look at it, the uglier it gets.

Ok! Idts dat wonderful time agin! Get yuor votes in fur Fase of De Dey!! TGIF!!

Gift link to a chilling report from Haaretz that everyone should read. Even if only a fraction of this (and some of the paper’s previous detailed reporting on possible war crimes) is true, we should all be deeply saddened and sickened, as I am right now. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Christian Nationalism is religious rule, too.

I think I will buy a copy of Pride Puppy. 🏳️‍🌈🐶

My weekly Substack recap is live! I’m breaking down everything I covered this week — from the Emil Bove confirmation fallout to Trump’s reckless Iran bombing. Read & subscribe for more: https://shanlonwu.substack.com/p/a-week-in-review-under-color-of-law?r=5dicwe

I just… cannot get over the level of vile bigotry people feel comfortable expressing about a nice Muslim dude who talks about preventing hate crimes with the depth of compassion Zohran clearly feels

feelings : eaten

Aww, he just makes my heart melt 😻😻😻. #catsofbluesky

Jodi says good morning

Clearly it's time to force the SC to deal with the implications of its actions. If there aren't nationwide injunctions anymore, fine. Get into every 5th Circuit district court that ever issued one and get to work.

Thanks! Always appreciated, but that means a lot on a day like today. www.lawdork.com/p/scotus-con...

Whatever Sen Rs do to fiddle with the big bad betrayal it is so deeply unpopular and damaging that Collins, Murkowski, Moran, Tillis, Hawley, etc. will never get re-elected. This will be a career ending vote

BREAKING: GOP Congressman Don Bacon of Nebraska is retiring. Both Kamala Harris and Joe Biden won his district, so this is a potential pickup opportunity for Democrats in 2026.

How do people keep saying that Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are so well spoken? How did these guys make it this far while being so demonstrably poorly spoken, so much so that it’s quite offputting?

All the pretty girls walk like this…

Here's to you, @murray.senate.gov 🥂

Absolutely disgusting. They’re all so corrupt it’s sickening #HoosierSky #WtfGOP

I love my cat so much. I mean just look at her.

Q: Are you concerned that the Iranians may have some enriched uranium at Pickaxe Mountain? TRUMP: They're not thinking about enriched uranium. They want to meet me Q: They said they don't want to meet with the US TRUMP: They may say that to you. Don't you think they want to meet me?

“Despite the lofty promises of pharmaceutical companies, there’s simply no evidence to suggest that vaccines provide more immunological benefit than punching a few holes in a horseshoe crab’s carapace and slurping its blood directly,” said Kennedy theonion.com/rfk-jr-...

BREAKING: A federal judge just struck down Trump’s executive order targeting the law firm Susman Godfrey. The court called it “unconstitutional” and banned the government from enforcing it entirely. From: @yuniorarivas.bsky.social

JUST IN: Another judge has denied an effort by a Jan. 6 defendant (with DOJ's blessing) to get a refund for fines / restitution paid to the federal government. Judge Moss says that ship sailed after the funds were deposited in the U.S. Treasury. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

“Hundreds and hundreds of people keep showing up to these community watch trainings,” says Marlene Martinez, Siembra’s rapid response manager. The hope, she says, is to change the narrative about ICE arrests.

DIDN'T TAKE LONG: One group suing over Trump's birthright citizenship order has refiled its lawsuit as a class action, noting that the court left open this option for nationwide relief. They're asking a Maryland judge for an emergency restraining order. www.politico.com/live-updates...

NEW: In a sweeping rebuke of President Donald Trump’s campaign of retribution against law firms that challenged his political agenda, a federal judge Friday struck down in its entirety an executive order issued by Trump that targeted a powerful law firm. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

It was 1865. I don't think the average person needs to necessarily remember every important historical date but the year the Civil War ended is one of those the U.S. president should definitely know.

Pigeon landed on the balcony and someone was ready to kill

End citizenship. End the Supreme Court’s feudal power. End war. End executive orders. End mass incarceration. End the carceral system. Begin transformation. Begin true democracy. Begin true justice. Begin healthcare, food, shelter for all. End incrementalism. Begin seeing revolution is practical.

I know anew outrageous thing happens every day but this is really truly up there. www.nydailynews.com/2025/06/27/i...

god damn he's cooking

Justice Sotomayor’s dissent in today’s birthright citizenship case is a wake up call for all of us: “No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates”   SCOTUS is essentially deciding to look the other way as Trump infringes on our rights and breaks our laws.

Trump’s unhinged post trying to interfere in the judicial process of another country, which was cited by Netanyahu’s lawyers, likely hurt more than it helped.

In the gay book ban case—Mahmoud v. Taylor—we have a crap majority opinion from Alito. It contains the expected garbage about how including LGBTQ books in story hour is indoctrinating children into the gay agenda and infringing parents’ religious beliefs. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

MAGA Republicans, who refuse to raise the minimum wage, are now acting like they are concerned about wages

I remain confident that my fellow attorneys general and I will defeat President Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship and strip citizenship from people born in the United States for the first time in over a century. Full statement here: bit.ly/SCOTUS-birthright-citizenship

BREAKING: We're filing a new class-action lawsuit to challenge President Trump's lawsuit restricting birthright citizenship. The 14th Amendment is clear: Every child born on U.S. soil is a citizen, whether the president likes it or not.

clearly meant to kill the entire practicable concept of public education.

Smart cat. One of the strays I feed. He keeps moving with the shadow to stay in the shade in the 90°+ heat.

The official position of the Roberts Court is that Republican presidents are allowed to ignore parts of the Constitution they don't like, and that it would be extremely inappropriate for federal judges to do anything about it ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/trump...

Charlie Kirk. What a weird guy. 🤣🤣
