The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court

it is, among other things, incredibly striking to see that roberts was so solicitous of the burden the clean power plan might put on fossil fuel executives, when, a decade later, he is indifferent to the way trump’s moves have thrown hundreds of thousands of lives into turmoil.

Some Congressmen are worried about FISA warrants but are at the same time OK with this shit show.

Hi! A responsible title to this article would have been something like, "Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas calls for violent right-wing revolution against most of the American populace".

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas blasts progressivism as threat to America He said that the values enshrined in the 1776 Declaration of Independence have “fallen out of favor” among Americans.

Not into the Bill of Rights or some of the Amendments, I see.

The US Border Patrol chief being a god damn monger seems like a thing that congressional Democrats should be absolutely hammering the Trump administration for in public. It's righteous AND politically savvy to make a stink about this.

City Hall fight shows how police unions use Blue Power to support MAGA red The immigration fight at Houston City Hall shows how police use Blue Power to support MAGA red, writes Stuart Schrader, author of "Blue Power: How Police Organized to Protect and Serve Themselves."

every day senate democrats will pass this piece of shit in the hallway. theyll say hi and hello like he's just a normal coworker, even a friend. people like this should be shunned and yelled at every waking moment of their sorry lives.

Every politician runs on “law and order.”
No one mentions that the most financially destructive crimes in the country are prosecuted less and less each year.

Austin needs to raise water rates for industrial users like Tesla and use the money fix their leaky pipes. Just make their rates uniform with the residentials. Austin ratepayers shouldn't be subsidizing the richest guy on the planet. austincurrent.org/2026/04/10/t...

The Secretary of State attending a UFC fight while wartime diplomatic negotiations fail would generate an explosive, front-page, above-the-fold headline for any previous administration

Again there's simply no comparison between the scope, scale, & tone of the JOE BIDEN EPICALLY AND INCOMPETENTLY FAILED IN AFGHANISTAN coverage of August/September 2021 & the "just the facts, very measured" reporting of what's going on with Iran & Trump now.

Part of why we remain here is that most people don't interact with the actual criminal punishment system, they are stuck in Law & Order land and fantasy land.

I am fairly offended by the notion that a woman cannot be sexually assaulted by her boss/ someone she works with and then get up and go to work. Does a women need to lie in the fetal position for days to be a real victim? Please tell me how someone who has been assaulted is supposed to act.

i have read police reports where the investigator proudly explained how he used standard interrogation techniques on the survivor filing the report, got her to contradict herself, and then concluded that she was making it all up! the system does not work the way you want it to

The University of Michigan has been measuring consumer sentiment since 1952. We just got the first Iran-afflicted measure for April, and it's at the lowest level ever recorded.

"I admire the many federal prosecutors across the country who have chosen to resign rather than carry out illegal or immoral orders. To my knowledge, no department head, dean, or other administrator at Texas A&M has taken any meaningful action to defend academic freedom."

Yup. Cowards, one and all.

Thanks for all you do, friend

Republicans in Congress are complicit.

It’s okay to say that out loud

As with Susan Crawford's win last year, tonight's SCOWIS result won't get an iota of the What Mamdani Means For 🇺🇸 Politics coverage from coastal elites. But it's likely a far better bellwether of how things are shifting in 2026. This is a landslide by WI standards.

ICE’s story of a Minneapolis shooting fell apart. New video shows what happened before an agent fired | CNN Minneapolis releases video that challenges ICE’s narrative of a federal agent’s January shooting of a Venezuelan immigrant

The story didn't "fall apart." ICE leadership deliberately lied and you're failing at journalism by not saying so.

Funny, categorically deciding to deprioritize cases involving people of color will get you removed from office in texas and florida!

My neighbors are still patrolling streets, driving strangers to work, and providing aid. As a photojournalist at @propublica.org, I wanted to know: What do they look like in their daily lives?

So I picked up my camera 👇

The Daily Caller on Threads: OPINION: We should do more than just require ID to vote. The Save Act is the least we should do. It’s rookie numbers. We should do far more. Way fewer people should be allowed to vote. Americans must meet two of three criteria to vote: 1. Be a net contributor to tax revenue 2. Own property 3. Be married with children… There’s also a graphic that says “in a fairer world 150 million Americans wouldn’t be allowed to vote.”

The mask is completely off. You can’t meet these people in the middle. We’re not working toward the same goals.

They hate America. They hate democracy. They hate freedom.

And they hate you.
