Funniest possible outcome in Trump v. Slaughter would be for the originalist Justices to find an unenumerated Presidential power to fire all principal officers within the penumbras of the Vesting, Take Care, and Appointments Clauses.
In light of Humprey’s Executor likely getting axed, I think the next Dem president should fire the Fed Chair. This has 2 main benefits:

Pretty rich coming from the genius who wrote Citizens United and provided the 5th vote in some of the Roberts Court’s most democracy-undermining decisions
What we might refer to as a "Kavanaugh Stop"
The attack on Charlie Kirk is horrifying.
Political violence has no place in this country and should never become the norm.

We are in very dark times. It’ll take an entire political/social movement, an overwhelming rebuke at the polls, and a new vision of governance to unstick this country from whatever this collapse is.
Between this and Judge Ho’s stuff there’s enough material to file an amicus brief in support of birthright citizenship consisting entirely of arguments made by people who abandoned them the moment they became politically inconvenient

Benjamin Franklin: Write down "no dumb fucks as president"
Alexander Hamilton: Stop saying that
Benjamin Franklin: I'm tellin' you. You're gonna regret not writing that down
the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.
What, pray tell, is there to be proud of about the Confederacy?
My takeaway from former Fox News heads and commentators now in government is that they are lazy as shit and have no idea that normal people work for many consecutive hours in a day
This is just disgraceful
Reminder: while it is true that members of the House are stunningly dumb as a group, state lawmakers are uniquely the dumbest motherfuckers who ever thought they were smart.
In a new statement, Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) says he's done supporting any aid to Israel amid Gaza's nutrition and humanitarian crisis.
"My litmus test will be simple: no aid of any kind as long as there are starving children in Gaza due to the action or inaction of the Israeli government.”
