Plenty of criticism on the right of the #SCOTUS leaker and the Times’s reporting, but has anyone actually responded to the argument that Roberts’s assessment of “irreparable harm” and his refusal to balance the equities is completely inconsistent with his subsequent behavior in all the Trump cases?

Welcome to all who care about health.
House Judiciary Democrats are teasing an investigation into FBI Director Kash Patel and The Atlantic's reporting on his alleged intoxication.
I hope the takeover of InfoWars by @theonion.com and @timheidecker.bsky.social that resulted from the bankruptcy brought on by Alex Jones’ evil attacks on the victims of Sandy Hook brings you as much joy as it does me.
New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally.
It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵

and they have the gall to call the democrats out of touch
Gas prices are at their highest level since the pandemic.
Inflation is surging.
Grocery prices are near record highs.
Housing costs are through the roof.
Does that sound like a golden age to you?
Three women out. Not a single dude
this doesn’t have crosstabs but the overall race ID is about right so this pretty much has to be racedep

In Lawsuit Not Mentioning the Olympics, Kash Patel Swears He's Not a Drunk

“We may be crazy but we’re not THAT crazy” is an interesting platform choice…
Remember folks 4/20 was made up by Hallmark to get people to buy more marijuana cards
An important thread relevant to every American that has a data footprint:
Addiction isn’t a moral judgment — it’s a security clearance nightmare.
If you can’t master your own demons, you have no business running the FBI or the Pentagon.
Kash Patel and Pete Hegseth are liabilities, not leaders. Suspend them and investigate. Immediately.
Rep. Pat Ryan: "The fact that the president did not understand that closing the strait would be the obvious and immediate leverage point for the Iranians just shows how out of depth they are in initiating this war."
LOOK AT THAT FAAACCCE!!!
Larry Sabato: New NBC Poll: Trump’s job approval at 2nd term low. 63% Disapprove, 37% Approve. 50% STRONGLY Disapprove. So much winning.
SCOOP --> Paramount, Meta, and X are refusing to say what happened to their huge contributions to Trump's presidential library after Sen Elizabeth Warren raised questions about its fund getting dissolved. Ds say tens of millions remain unaccounted for.

We are spending billions to keep our entire navy in the Strait to fecklessly fail to open a waterway that wasn’t closed until Trump’s pointless war of choice closed it.
He’s just burning your tax money.
In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
We owe each other a country where at least the things that two-thirds of Americans can agree on actually get done. When something is broken in this country, we have to do what it takes to fix it.
Thank you, Tulsa, for the warm welcome back - and for showing us what a better future looks like.
Trump continues to crater. New NBC poll has his approval down to 37-63, which is 26 points underwater.
Crucially, 50% disapprove *strongly.* Has any other president had half the country strongly disapproving?

Trump is clearly not fit to serve.
That’s why I am co-sponsoring a 25th Amendment bill with @raskin.house.gov.
Our country cannot afford having a madman in power.
Quality…
The governor’s mansion…
That Palantir statement is unadulterated master race naziism. Full stop.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) on Justice Dept demand that Wayne County, MI (Detroit) hand over its 2024 ballots
“Michigan’s elections are safe and secure, and any attempt to suggest otherwise is an attempt to take away Michiganders’ constitutional right to vote"
One reason that we cannot have professional diplomats representing the interests of the United States is that it would disrupt a pattern of personal enrichment for the Presidents allies and families.
