Congratulations to John Roberts, who will now surely displace Taney as the most scathingly hated Chief Justice in the history books, and to the Roberts Court, which m will go down as the one that probably did the most of any to destroy what is good about this country

SCOTUS majority not deigning to give any reasons for staying the injunction of the district court - in the highest-possible stakes context & where the executive branch has acted appallingly - evincing real contempt for both district courts & the rule of law

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope. She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive. But the FDA recently denied its approval. Now, her health hangs in the balance. Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

It's impressive how SCOTUS managed to eviscerate the rule of law on two independent levels: 1) it rewards lawless disregard of court orders; and 2) makes Due Process optional. And, they did so without even explaining their ruling.

It's becoming increasingly clear is that the right wing of this Supreme Court is extreme even among federal courts. The district courts and appellate courts keep appropriately halting this shit, expressing appropriate outrage, and trying to hold the line. Then SCOTUS blows it all up.

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.

I'm a simple unfrozen state court clerk, but this is the part of it most galling to me personally. The district court judge and clerks put in an incredible amount of work in short order, as did the circuit judges and clerks. And they get reversed without saying why? It's appallingly disrespectful.

Good example of how the pundit-brained (Tamar, not Mike) really can’t process the idea that for some people social media is neither about broadcasting yourself to the biggest possible audience nor running a representative sample focus group.

DISASTROUS. This means they will send people to horrific situations with no due process — in direct violation of promises the Solicitor General made to the Court in previous cases. This greenlights sending people to be enslaved in Libya or tortured in any random foreign country.

according to conservatives on the court, the constitution does not protect your right to your own body but does enable the government to ship you off to a foreign gulag without any hope of return

This is a horrifying ruling that shows a disdain for basic human rights principles — made all the more unconscionable by the fact that the Republican appointees did so with no reasoning and on the shadow docket.

Whatever happens tomorrow Zohran and crew have run one of the best campaigns I've seen. CLEAR MESSAGING of what he wants to do, pummeling Cuomo while keeping a smile, no scandals, the NY media can't find a single personal thing to play against him and THEY ARE PISSED, no infighting stories.

Amazing. NYT has more confirmation that Trump's decision to bomb Iran was motivated in large part by the way the Israeli strikes were "playing" on Fox News, which drove him to want credit for it

The media does 500 stories about "are the Democrats commiting political suicide by deposing deportations?!" when Trump is +2% on immigration, but when Trump is 20 points underwater on Iran they don't ask the same thing about Republicans. It's interesting!

I'm glad Menendez was forced out & now faces the legal consequences of his corruption & treason. But I don't understand a system in which this happens, while the Republican President of the United States commits the same crimes, on a level orders of magnitude worse, & faces no consequences at all.

As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention. 22 years old. Recent work experience: landscaping/grocery clerk. Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he’s a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job.

It's likely this won the award out of a fatuous anti-woke "oh it's so brave and counter-cultural," which is a very stupid reason to give an award, but par for the course for the "anti-woke is our entire personality" crew.

Rubio on CBS: "This wasn't a regime change move." Vance on ABC: "Well, first of all, we don't want to achieve regime change." Vance on NBC: "our view has been very clear that we don't want a regime change." Trump, not waiting even 24 hours to undercut and humiliate them:

The only, and I mean only, thing I like about Trump is how regularly he undercuts his lickspittle underlings’ public statements of policy, forcing them to do rhetorical cartwheels until his whims change again.
