This just feels right here:

It really gives the game away. Religious freedom when they want to target LGBTQ people and no religious freedom when they want the state to indoctrinate their preferred religion (evangelical Christianity) on students.

John Roberts Is Always a Republican First In public, the chief justice loves talking about how the Supreme Court’s work is not political. His leaked memos reveal just how political the Supreme Court’s work actually is.

In my view, John Roberts's most impressive PR accomplishment is persuading an entire generation of Supreme Court commentators that he is anything other than a Republican politician who uses legalese to implement policies that Republican voters want

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

Southern Poverty Law Center says it faces a Justice Department criminal probe over paid informants The Southern Poverty Law Center says it’s the subject of a Justice Department criminal investigation and faces possible charges over its use of paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups.

This is an uptick from Trumps out of control DOJ. They are now siding with the domestic terrorists that build pipe bombs and the like over those who try and prevent their actions. Truly unbelievable. apnews.com/article/sout...

The SPLC has long monitored and exposed white nationalist and Christian nationalist hate groups, so it makes sense that an administration staffed by many people sympathetic to one or both of those movements would use the DOJ to go after them.

That was a great NBA game. Felt like a 12 round heavyweight fight. Role players stepping up. Great man on ball defense too.

Nope. He is throughly unimpressive.

They both suck.

Not a dime of taxpayer money or govt contracts should go to Palantir.

Fuck the government.

It would be so easy to set this fool up.

Homeland Security tweet: DHSgov • 1h X 'Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.' —Proverbs 3:5-6 One nation under God.

Christofascist government

I'm pretty sure Kezia comes from a well-intentioned place. And I'm all for good faith engagement with people whose minds have been poisoned against trans people. But this is madness: JK Rowling is a toxic sewer of hate, aligned with fascists, and it's unforgivable for Stonewall to praise her.

This is so absurd. You cannot be the head of a LGBTQ org and praise Rowling like this. She's a vile cess pit of bigotry.

If you're a US resident we have to give you due process before ruining you.

But if you're a foreigner in a foreign country who thought you could get away with bribing the MAGA regime, we should make you say goodbye to having any wealth at all in the free world.

You look at Elon Musk's actual life and no amount of money would entice me to trade for that life. He is miserable and carries that misery around with him. That misery has taken over all aspects of his being. All that money and yet so so miserable.

Kagan screamed so loudly at liberal ally after Dobbs leak the ‘wall was shaking,' book claims Justice Kagan allegedly yelled at Justice Breyer so loudly the "wall was shaking" during the 2022 Dobbs leak crisis, a new book by Hemingway says.

Forget about the substance, the reveal that “most of” the justices talked to Mollie Hemingway for her book is bananas. Hemingway is a right-wing freak who runs a conspiracy theory blog. If literally any of the justices are taking this person seriously, the Supreme Court is GONE gone.

this is correct because people who know how to talk to "ordinary people" just actually TALK TO ORDINARY PEOPLE, lol. They don't speak like PUNDITS. That's what Beshear was doing. He sounds like Rahm Emanuel which means he sounds like a loser.

this reminds me, i don't think SCOTUS should be allowed to choose their own clerks. standardize the hiring schedule, put the applications in a pool, blind reads (perhaps by a panel of former clerks) and random assignments.

Jamal is too nice to say "utter hypocrisy," but that's what this is.

Today's #SCOTUS treats *all* coercive relief against the executive branch as imposing irreparable harm on the government. For that proposition, they cite a 2014 opinion by ... Chief Justice Roberts.

Its absence here is deafening.

Could you be more pathetic?

What a load bullshit. You’re a fool.

If they believe he is the unitary executive then he is literally on both sides of this lawsuit. bsky.app/profile/badj...

Really, a bill now, that he would veto. What a pointless bit of performance art.

If they settle, I think it's an impeachable offense for both him and the AG.

Children ‘low-hanging fruit’ in fight to end trans care, official at pro-Trump thinktank says America First Policy Institute, which boasts close ties to president, discussed transgender policy ‘reform’ at DC event

Once again, the right is openly admitting that the entire focus on trans youth is to ultimately ban all gender affirming care for adults.

All the credulous reporters and institutions that helped launder this right wing project are responsible.

And acted on it, like it was a bribe, voting the payor to a prime post he was totally unqualified to hold.

Maybe we can talk about voting for him for like 24 hours straight; and then, first thing when that is over, do the opposite. Booker style.
