Yesterday, the Supreme Court ordered Trump to resume USAID payments. Spoiler: He won't. Roberts gave him additional opportunities to delay, while Alito wrote a completely bonkers dissent sure to embolden Trump further. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli... - ThreadSky

Maybe Supreme isn't the right word unless, of course, you're discussing Diana Ross or the late Mary Wilson. Maybe a more accurate name for this court is the Supine Court.

Been watching talking heads on corporate media ask expert guests, “Why is Donald doing Putin’s biding?” Typical answer “That’s the 64-thousand-dollar question."Stunning.
That’s like asking, “Why is this man repeatedly stabbing me?” Breaking News! Because the motherfather is trying to kill you!

don't worry, I stopped getting excited years ago

The rule of law is breaking down quickly. Soon Trump/Vance will just get on the TV and tell the courts to Go Fck Yourselves. Americans will be shocked. But will the raise up? We will see.

It’s broken! People, without clearances, are accessing personal and sensitive information.

Alito wrote a temper tantrum not a dissent!

We're doomed!

No, we’re getting out of this. It is our collective responsibility to fight for a better future.

These are child killers. Hundreds of thousands of children’s lives are at stake. Pure evil.

I freaking hate this. It is so wrong having corrupt SCOTUS members.

What's your opinion on Dems voting with Republicans to sanction @algreen.house.gov? Unacceptable in my opinion. Where is our united front? Hope to hear you on MSNBC soon.

elienyc.bsky.social•21 days ago

Lol. The people still allowed on MSNBC are the kinds of Dems who probably would have voted for censure too.

sandi-l-s.bsky.social•21 days ago

I get it. I miss @joyannreid.bsky.social. Always loved your fiery responses. We know have on tape Trump's acknowledgement that Roberts did Trump a favor. We need to educate the people so we can take the Senate & impeach those f_ers.

Hey, everybody!
If your Democrat rep was one that censured Rep. Al Green, call/write to let them know your displeasure. They should have JOINED him, not voted to SILENCE him.
Don't. Let. Democrats. Be. Cowards.!!!

Suozzi 🙄
Until 2022, I had Grace Meng. Then Kitara Ravache aka George Santos, now Suozzi from Long Island.
His office number:

+1 (516) 861-1070

Don't get too excited. Roberts is bean counting: take a little (so that it looks fair) and give back a lot!

j-ss.bsky.social•21 days ago

Is Alito senile yet? When can he be removed?

aubresky.bsky.social•19 days ago

Thank you

fritzcokid.bsky.social•21 days ago

Stop paying Alito, since that seems to be a reasonable option to him - do the work but maybe not get paid.

greenlightening.bsky.social•21 days ago

I don’t think it would move him in the slightest as he is billionaire bought. That’s the thing with most of congress as well. You could rip salaries for most and it would be a drop in the bucket for them. Corrupt ass government.

fritzcokid.bsky.social•21 days ago

You're probably right. But I'd love to see an indignant Martha-Ann clutch her pearls and raise a flag at the unfairness of it all.

Can we please stop funding the musk administration?
There is a way, we just need to get behind it like we mean it ⬇️

If Alito or Thomas died or resigned would they be able to find *anyone* as consistently wrong or fucking smug as those two?

truebluemajority.bsky.social•21 days ago

Yes

buckinghame.bsky.social•21 days ago

Of course he won’t. We are long past the “crisis”.

spiderandme.bsky.social•21 days ago

Abolish the Supreme Court. Burn it to the ground and start again.

Great article

People this is a concerted attack on working class people. This is the boldest power grab in history. Greed has the mega rich in a fever. They will not stop until they own you. Period.
