Pollinators, famously not important at all.

When you’ve reached beyond powers that the King enjoyed during the establishment of the first colonies in North America, is that too far? Or will Samuel Alito say that the Roundheads were wrong, actually?

“We will make mistakes.”

A sovereign wealth fund derived from tariffs imposed on foreign countries. So an import tax that is eventually paid by consumers who may or may not receive any benefits derived from said sovereign wealth fund? Thanks, I hate it.

THE USPS IS NOT TAXPAYER FUNDED, YOU STUPID TWAT

Remember when we thought the Emoluments Clause would save us? Lol. 🤡

I agree with Donald Trump that an unelected bureaucrat should be fired. Let’s start with Elon Musk.

At a minimum, the American people should know that the fed govt and every fed worker works for and are accountable to them. Privatization shifts to a profit motive where those being served aren’t the priority, shareholders and execs are, and under existing law, they’re likely accountable to no one.

Weird… how does a federal contractor get to dictate the terms of his procurement? Almost like there’s an organizational conflict of interest, and the American people are being screwed.

This decision shouldn’t have been 5-4. The constitution is pretty clear, and Congress stated over 50 years ago what their expectations is appropriated funds is. So the Constitution + Youngstown factors applying the Impoundment Control Act should say President exceeded his authority. The end.

Sad to contemplate and yet…

Story from an employee: A story of how the deferred resignation and Valentine’s Day Massacre are all affecting my program. We manage several hundred thousand acres of land. 20 years ago we had a staff of 20-40. Beginning of this year we started with 9; we are now down to 3.

I should point out as well that Alito should have been impeached for conduct unbefitting his office when he shouted at President Obama

LITERALLY THIS

… negotiations for what? The president’s *last* administration tore up NAFTA and renegotiated an agreement with Mexico and Canada which he has since essentially abrogated. What possible negotiating position could he have?

Ave imperator morituri te salutant

This plus Trump absolutely hammering ag… Theresa Greenfield, where you at?

So there happens to be a Supreme Court case that addresses whether and how federal funds can be used to indirectly regulate policy in the states. Among other things, the goal must be related to the original purpose of the funds and it cannot be unduly coercive. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk

Does the First Amendment exist anymore?

100%. For the love of God, let them suffer the consequences of their votes.

Now why does “medical tyranny” sound like a dog whistle for vaccines? There is a fucking uncontrolled measles outbreak right now.
