For folks who are surprised about, or shocked by, Vance calling on Trump to ignore judges, he’s been saying it for a while but much of our political press wasn’t paying attention:

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

NEW: Trump wants to use Guantanamo to lock up 30,000 migrants, and President Joe Biden gave him the blueprint. In August 2024, the Biden administration awarded a private prison company a multimillion-dollar contract to run the Guantanamo migrant jail. Drop Site contributor Jose Olivares explains.

“There’s still this idea that news is only ‘real’ once it’s confirmed by big corporate outlets. After all, could one woman with absolutely zero institutional backing in leggings and a sweatshirt in her NYC apartment really be the one to break such an important story? Now we know the answer is yes.”

So much for the pro-First Amendment FCC. Reinstating these complaints is a transparent attempt to intimidate networks that are critical of Trump and control their speech. If it wasn’t obvious already, just look at the fact that the only complaint Carr didn’t reinstate was against Fox.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

In the dying days of the Biden Admin, a journalist is dragged out of the State Dept press briefing. CNN’s framing of “man repeatedly interrupting” His Highness Antony Blinken as he spews out lies. And what about the other journalists sitting on their asses. Afraid to lose their access??

ABC (Disney), Washington Post (Bezos), Meta (Zuckerberg), LA Times (Soon-Shiong)... all bending the knee to Trump, all obeying in advance, all sucking up to the Dictator-in-Waiting. This is (part of) how democracies die. This is the Orban, Putin, Netanyahu and Modi playbooks.

Good thing he doesn't have to because prices will go up and Republicans will just say "Trump brought prices down" and people will believe it. Capital has truly won and it's going to be sickening to watch and live through.

Thomas and Alito will clearly vote to uphold bans on gender-affirming care for minors. I think Kavanaugh will, too—he suggested that the Constitution is neutral on this issue, and said "we can't ignore" the "risks" of this care to children. Roberts leans toward upholding the bans, but still early.
