WHEN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE LOSE FAITH IN THE SUPREME COURT THE RULE OF LAW IS NOT RESPECTED. CORRUPTION TRICKLES DOWN. AMERICANS ARE NOW WONDERING WHY ANY US SHOULD FOLLOW THE RULE OF LAW WHEN THE SUPREME COURT HAS MADE IT IRRELEVANT. CORRUPTION IS NOW THE LAW OF THE LAND THANKS TO CITIZENS UNITED.

I sure as hell have noticed. How about you? 🤨

Accurate

No checks. No balances. No democracy.

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

I get a LOT of solicitations to donate to Dems. A LOT! Here’s my test: Have you openly and enthusiastically endorsed Mamdani? If not, FUCK OFF! That is all.

What you need to understand about the 34 girls missing in DC in 24 hours is that when a missing girl is white, it is always treated first as a silver alert and critical missing. When she is of color, it is treated first as a runaway situation, and counted differently.

For what possible reason?? www.npr.org/2025/06/28/n...

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.  A new generation that gives meaning to the “we” in “we the people.” Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as the future.

This is what I was afraid of. Think of the impact of removing the court’s ability to issue nationwide injunctions. The oligarchs on the Supreme Court just gutted the balance of powers.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Montana filed a motion Tuesday to intervene in a lawsuit challenging a state law that slashes same-day voter registration hours and threatens to disenfranchise Indigenous voters across the state. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

When you have a lot to hide and you want the American public to believe propaganda from the government instead of the truth, then a free press is your greatest enemy.

There's more than enough bad news today to go around, but amidst all of it don't lose sight of the assault on both academic self-government and federalism (!) that is the administration deciding who can and who can't lead a state public university.

Don’t let the turnstile hit your ass on the way out.

I can’t get enough of Queen Maxima of The Netherlands mocking the orange felon. Hilariously good. 🤣🔥

My thoughts on SCOTUS' universal injunctions decision, a thread: Unfortunately there has been widespread misunderstanding of what the Roberts court did today. (1/x)

Make no mistake, the SCOTUS decision about birthright citizenship IS ALSO ABOUT *birthright citizenship.* The Court is using nationwide injunctions as the tail, wagging the dog, to take us back to an Antebellum view of citizenship. That way led to war once. My latest in @thenation.com

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.

Brilliant. 10/10. No notes.

At this point, they're just building train tracks so that the goalposts don't wobble so much during their journey.

📌Zohran Mamdani is a fine young man, and connected with voters who are tired of being ignored by establishment Democrats. If you are bringing race into this, it says a helluva lot more about you than him. The American electorate is angry, scared to death, and finally might be ready for a revolution.

Do not get confused as to why Dems have gotten it wrong so often when it comes to who they support. It’s NOT because they are old, it’s because their politics is the politics of PATRONAGE! They have little concern for who the candidate is or how appealing to the base, because it is far more

Trump Administration Live Updates: U.S. to End All Trade Talks With Canada ‘Effective Immediately,’ Trump Says TACO Trump and his never ending bullshit. When are the grownups in the government going to put an end to this clown show? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

As a Jewish American, I want to make clear that I am disgusted by the Islamophobic attacks and false accusations of antisemitism against Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party nominee for mayor of New York.

📌Pete Hegseth is a stone-cold drunk who texted our military ops to God knows who, and put our troops in danger. He is a lying, smarmy, right-wing propagandist who is in a job so far over his head he has to look up just to see the basement. He needs to sit down and shut the fuck up. -Vet

MAGA’s version of freedom is arresting people in wheel chairs who are peacefully protesting against cuts to Medicaid. That’s called fascism, not freedom.

NOT A SINGLE DEMOCRATIC SENATOR should confirm Emil Bove for the 3d Circuit Court of Appeals.

It is deeply troubling that Sec. Kennedy is pulling U.S. contributions to Gavi. These contributions have helped immunize over 1.1 billion kids and has avoided over 18.8 million child deaths. This administration is jeopardizing lives, hurting U.S. interests, and defying science in one fell swoop.

Hegseth gaslighted that reporters ignored the pilots’ skill and bravery. But the deeper problem is ”to prioritize his loyalty to Trump over respecting the freedom of the press and its duty to provide the public factual information. This is un-American.” www.americaamerica.news/p/the-war-fo...

"While a successful democracy depends on some degree of reasonableness from voters, a successful liberal democracy also depends on some degree of responsibility and even courage from elites." The people are passing this test, and the elites are not.

I really enjoyed this conversation with @out5p0ken.bsky.social for her Substack. I hope you'll check it out.

the president does not actually have the power to fire a university president or a museum director, but if elites simply roll over under pressure, then effectively he does

The natural upshot of the court’s ruling today. Look for lots of action and litigation on class actions in the next couple years.

BREAKING: if the Supreme Court wants a class action to hold Trump's birthright citizenship unconstitutional nationwide, we will give them one! We @democracydefendersaction.org just filed with our wonderful partners @aclu.org, NAACP LDF, LULAC & more assets.aclu.org/live/uploads...

Not a good look for the orange demon.

Not Good. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/u...

Bravo!

"Last month, all seven '60 Minutes' correspondents moved to take some collective action in an effort to safeguard the program that they so deeply care about." This is extremely rare. www.status.news/p/60-minutes...

This is the way.

Who is against these policies? Are people so far gone that they prefer their taxes pay for corporate welfare and massive pointless bombs over education and transportation?

The White House is touting tax benefits for tipped workers in the reconciliation bill, but 2 million tipped workers could be among those at risk of losing health coverage because of the #Medicaid and #ACA marketplace cuts in the bill. (1/3) www.nbcwashington.com/news/busines...

Lawrence O'Donnell has been reporting in a way that is the verbal equivalent of kicking someone in the balls — and then doing it again, just for good measure. That's the kind of reporting we need. Not this candy-ass, sugar-coated BS so many others are putting out. #LawrenceGetsIt

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

MSNBC Busts Into Trump Presser To Hammer Election Lies In Real Time https://twp.ai/4inwVL

RFK Jr. illegally withdrawing U.S. support from Gavi condemns 75 million children to preventable disease over five years, over 1.2 million needless deaths. That is the equivalent of 6 to 8 Hiroshima-scale blasts -- and there is no reason to do it.
