US Supreme Court at work

there is no jurisprudence at work here. the republican court believes that anything a republican president is presumptively constitutional, even if it directly violates the unambiguous constitutional text and causes total chaos in law and policy.

it is the Imperial Judiciary when courts say that presidents can’t unilaterally overturn constitutional text, and the Proper Order of Things when courts say that your rights rest on the whims of who happens to be in office

The news media have normalized a president brazenly lying every day. Decent people are appalled, and that should include journalists, but instead the media have accepted lying as part of the game.

80-90% of polled voters say Direct File is a good thing. It is quite literally one of the most popular government programs in America. If Democrats cared more about winning than making their donors happy, they could win 8-10 House seats next year just with ads showing off this tweet.

Partisan rigging of North Carolina's state legislature is so pervasive that even when a majority of residents statewide voted for Democrats in the 2024 elections, Republicans still held on to 2/3rds of seats in the NC State Senate, and are just 1 seat shy of 2/3rds in the State House.

For people who know some history and aren't idiots: There used to be separate Departments of War (for the Army) and the Navy. When they were combined and the Air Force created, after WW2, they were together called the Department of Defense. "Political correctness" had nothing to do with it.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.
