Constitutional law expert: Many attacks on the judiciary don’t appear to be animated by a desire for good-faith debates… they seem instead of a piece of other efforts to neutralize any actor or institution that would “seek to limit this President’s power.”

👀from @hiltzikm.bsky.social: "The abrupt removal in 2022 of mandates that children wear masks in school contributed to an estimated 21,800 COVID deaths that year—a shocking 9% of the total COVID deaths in the U.S. that year." Important study. Science & facts matter. www.latimes.com/business/sto...

Elon said Trump should be impeached and is in the Epstein files. Trump threatened to revoke all of Elon’s federal grants. There is an emergency meeting going on right now in the Oval Office and Elon hasn’t posted in two hours. That’s what you missed if you have a real job.

Some simple budget math: Give out $4 trillion in tax cuts and cut spending by $1 trillion, and you'll get a $3 trillion increase in the national debt. Denying these realities doesn't change them (and yes, the bond market has noticed).

POCAN: You said the president supports the big bill passed out the House. You also said the president doesn't support cutting Medicare. VOUGHT: Correct POCAN: In the bill, there's a $500b cut that gets triggered to Medicare. You might want to take a look at that provision.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "The Christians in Congress should be feeding the hungry, but they're cutting food stamps. They should be healing the sick, but they are cutting Medicaid. They should be standing up to the billionaire class, but instead they're cutting their taxes."

I've seen few people think through this timing. Like -- was it drone efficacy that drove the operation? Trump running again? Trump's attempts to cut off funding?

Couple thoughts on this Ukrainian operation: 18 months of planning with no leaks is crazy impressive. The intelligence picture, the OpSec, and the execution were all top notch. I’m curious to see what else they have planned, and yes I’m worried about how Russia will respond.

Annie by far would be the funniest senator. And if there were a medical emergency she could help with that, too. No need for constituents to die prematurely and unnecessarily!

I think this points up some of the failures of coverage of Trump's lawlessness: You could've read dozens of articles on Trump's tariff policy with no inkling of how unprecedented & legally dubious was the legal authority he claimed to impose them. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/b...
