Justice Sotomayor dissenting on birthright citizenship case: "The gamesmanship in this request is apparent and the Government makes no attempt to hide it. Yet, shamefully, this Court plays along. Because I will not be complicit in so grave an attack on our system of law, I dissent."

Bernie to Dems:

Again, I’d like to encourage the people who think it’s a good idea to embrace a cruel and capricious dictatorship, while making it clear no legal or legislative authority can stop them from ruining ordinary people’s lives, to keep on reading to see what usually happens next.

this is just an observation but one way to think of the civil war is that it WAS about states rights, but the right in question was the right of free states to stay free

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.

“The operation will go down in the anals of history”

Let’s be absolutely clear. This decision, based on fringe conspiracy theories, will kill children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

The American Academy of Pediatricians bluntly telling us the current CDC can't be trusted, and of course they are absolutely correct publications.aap.org/aapnews/news...

Not only will this likely result in hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths each year - in the most poor and underprivileged areas because it is eugenics - this will make us less safe at home as well and put us at risk for increasing disease outbreaks and increasing spread of infectious disease.

Here's a fun thing that a top donor to Andrew Cuomo's super PAC just told me.

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

“The soft power suicide of the U.S. will be incomprehensible to future historians who will be dumbfounded in their attempts to explain why the global leader voluntarily wrecked one of its greatest national assets...” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/b...

Huge news today: Big Balls Out. Also, Big Balls Out.

“Taney is still worse, because he helped usher in the Civil War.” Jury’s still out on what Roberts is ushering in, folks, but it isn’t going to be good

If you are kidnapping your citizens with no due process to take away their freedom and trying to silence media, law firms, and universities for exercising free speech, you don't get to call yourself "Leader of the Free World."

A federal officer cannot be “doxxed.” The public has a right to know who is operating in our government, especially if they have the power to imprison someone.

This is just a *taste* of what the Vera C. Rubin Observatory—under construction for ten years and hosting an 8.4 m-diameter mirror and the largest CCD camera ever built—is going to give us. The first-look pictures have just dropped, and this is one of them.

“Forget about intelligence” is a pretty good mantra for this administration

Anyways, this is pretty clear cut eugenics. Blaming people for their disease and taking away the treatment that keeps them alive is in fact sentencing people to death just because you dislike them and think they deserve to die for it. Hope the people who thought he had “some good ideas” can see that

Your going to see the administration say you shouldn’t question a war time president while denying we are at war.

The national debt will mean fuck all when America doesn't exist anymore.

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

illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

a sitting federal judge — appointed by trump of course — awarded a student for a paper that basically says dred scott was right and should have gone further

the list of Cuomo endorsers is actually a great way to identify people who need to be driven out of the Democratic Party as soon as possible

Congress has the sole power to declare war – full stop. The idea that the US would potentially deploy a bunker buster bomb in Iran w/out Congressional approval not only flies in the face of our Constitution, it would also rope us into another forever war that Americans do not want.

in late 2026, nearly 50 years after its launch, voyager 1 will be the first manmade object to reach a distance of one light day from the sun

You know your country has screwed up priorities when it pretends it doesn't have the money to prevent LGBTQ teen suicides but it *does* have the funds to subsidize the wealthiest man in the world's engineering incompetence. www.cbsnews.com/news/video-s...

The takeaway from the Tucker Carlson Ted Cruz interview is that the American public has been so badly cheated for so long by the people pretending to be the political media that when anyone asks a basic follow up that an 8th grade schoolpaper reporter would it feels like cutting edge journalism
