I was adopted via closed adoption, born in North Carolina. It was closed so I have no knowledge of or access to my biological mother’s details. It also means my biological mother isn’t on my birth certificate. So if birthright citizenship becomes a patchwork right, what’s someone like me to do?

Monstrous: "They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying....The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours."

As one does when one is simply impartially applying the law in the obvious constitutional way with no underlying agenda

The difference between this and Nazi propaganda against Jews is that this is AI-generated.

God, this is a cursed discourse, but: Souder, Breyer, and Stephens all retired when their minds were still sharp and they were years away from death. (Breyer is still with us.) Ginsburg was uniquely selfish, and her legacy is ashes.

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

“you come up with a mean nickname to call this guy on TV?” “sure did boss, real fuckin sexy just like you asked”

Some people think this is an exaggeration but I will say that if I were HHS Secretary and my goal were to kill as many children as possible, it would be difficult to distinguish the actions I would take from those that Kennedy has taken.

So, these people are white supremacists of a very specific, American kind. The idea that the right to govern belongs only to a select, racially defined group was *the* political theory of the antebellum and redeemed south. Ask who is being replaced and why that’s a problem, you’ll see it.

I mean, in the end, he won a major competition before Arsenal did

The current administration has more successfully destroyed US science and the scientific enterprise than the hypothetical nuclear weapons program in Iran.

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

DOGE was the richest man in the world killing the poorest people in the world

No explanation. None. It’s obscene. I keep remembering the 1679 habeas corpus act. It reacted to the king arresting people & without trial deporting them. It began: “for prevention of imprisonment beyond seas.” Without explanation, our current SCOTUS majority is undoing centuries of justice.

Not the worst of it, but the court's conservatives also get to do this without bothering to explain themselves. No need for tortured logic or bad-faith arguments. They get to just blindly greenlight this with no accountability.

God this guy is truly insufferable.

really sums up the media’s coverage of the Trump presidency

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

it will get papered over, but trump briefing johnson and thune but not schumer or jefferies is another example of congress having essentially given up on any pretense of oversight — this would not be in any way acceptable to republicans if the situation were reversed.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

An act of war weeks in planning but unauthorized by Congress against a country that Trump's own director of intelligence testified under oath was not close to getting a nuclear weapon.

at least he didn't do something truly reckless like try to forgive student loans

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

Who can tell the difference? IS there a difference is maybe the most important question.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Pure intimidation, absolutely payback for this announcement last night www.latimes.com/sports/dodge...

Keep laughing very hard at “yeah probably (BOOOOM)”

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

One month apart.

The cruelty is the point.

Haha imagine being a political journalist and suddenly finding yourself ranked way behind Tucker fucking Carlson in the Asking Republicans Tough Questions standings

It is extraordinarily weird watching him conveying a single, cohesive thought for more than five seconds here. It really does show you that, while his heart as always been several shades deeper than vantablack, there's something medically wrong with his brain at this point.

The anti-abortion movement and what it has wrought is more horrifying than any horror movie. It is a rejection of the dignity of life and a mockery of human wellbeing

It’s probably worth noting one of the things written on this gun is also tattooed on the SecDef’s arm.

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

Again Trump is single handedly responsible for Iran’s burgeoning nuclear program. 100% on him and literally no one else.
