"But all of these reforms require constitutional amendments..."
This is nonsense, and I wish people would stop repeating it
The Judiciary Act of 1789 wasn't a constitutional amendment. It was a statute enacted by Congress and signed by the President.
It can be amended like any other statute
Insanity !!!!!!! GFOH . I guess heâs an elected official, but has somehow been living under a rock for the last 15-20 years ?
And to a lesser degree I would argue on Iraq War that Saddamm Hussein also miscalculated âŚ. thinking he could prevaricate about MWDs, thereby making himself appear stronger and more dangerous in the region, and wrongly presuming âUSA would never use ground troops to overthrow my regimeâ.
Good one. GOP writing down their plans in plain English (and unambiguously) didnât start with Project 2025. âPowell memoâ was widely distributed by 1972 for example. Whether itâs via a chisel or a jackhammer (DOGE) the GOP will consistently try to undermine democratic inclusion and shatter norms.
In 2010, Karl Rove wrote an oped piece for the WSJ laying out the GOPs plan to take over state legislatures so they could dictate redistricting maps. "He who controls redistricting can control Congress."

So I guess WaPo is implying (with a straight face) that the SAVE Act is not a âcynical calculationâ by the GOP ? Or that Trumpâs deplorable executive order 1 year ago never happened? jfc
Indictment of @splcenter.org is based on clear false narrative.
False: DOJ and Kash Patel's claim that SPLC supported white supremacist groups via paying informants.
Reality:
âWe frequently shared what we learned from informants with local and federal law enforcement, including the FBI."
Don't understand how traders trade these market with all the misinformation, much of it coming from the White House, let alone Iran. Also don't understand the lack of outrage about apparent insider trading ahead of the President's pronouncements. How are the exchanges themselves not investigating?
Can you âname namesâ on LaMelo ? I must have missed that shade. There are so many podcasts though. Always a bit snippy these days just about everywhere it seems.
Joe diGenova, an election denier and former Trump lawyer, will now lead the Russia conspiracy investigation after career prosecutor is removed. They arenât even trying to make this look legitimate anymore. đ¤Śđťââď¸

I would also argue that a significant portion of US law enforcement (ICE and more) and âlaw and orderâ Republican Congressmen (oh yeah, and Fetterman too!) are âmentally and morally cookedâ. There are too many recent examples, both on camera and on X, to list here
Just smiling genuinely reaps a lot of rewards politically IMO. AOC does that too.
George W Bush: âYou are either with us or against us.â
Lyndsey Graham: âWeâre going to blow the hell out of these people.â
Donald Trump: âA whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.â
Donald Trump: âNO MORE MR NICE GUYâ
Exceptional diplomats ?

And if we normal citizens name **it** truthfully and forcefully we are called uncivil and are sometimes cancelled. This goes for both calling out the fabulism as well as the racism. Reminder: People lost their jobs due to accurately describing exactly what Stephen Miller and Charlie Kirk represent.
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.
Ossoff: I donât know who placed those trades, but Iâll tell you this: the SEC better find out. And if they wonât, when you elect this new majority in Congress and you give us gavels and subpoenas, we will.
Andrew Sullivan yesterday:
âWhen Sean Hannity cites the Old Testament to defend the wars he thinks God blesses, there is only one thing missing in his Christianity: Jesus.â
Chefâs kiss âŚ
âNuclear dust created by our B2 bombersâ ? đ¤ˇđťââď¸. But yeah MAGA, Trumpâs sharp as a tack. jfc
The hub of the Dadâs apartment housing empire was the Queens and Brooklyn. Trump was normal enough to know a a damn corner store. Itâs dementia, but instead everyone concocts other plausible excuses.
Reminder: Trent Lott had to step down as Senate Minority Leader in 2003 for praising Strom Thurmondâs 1948 Dixiecrat Presidential run (ââŚ..we voted for him. We're proud of it âŚâ) at his 100th birthday party. Possibly that would still happen today, but itâs far from certain.
Boom !!! đ đ
Bingo. Sh*tty human beings should be regularly told to their faces that they are sh*tty human beings. With ICE actions in USA, a sycophantic Trump voter doesnât get to claim that âIâm a good personâ while condoning Trumpâs brutal and unconstitutional personal police force.
For example (on kowtowing to Trump):

Not surprised. Even universities that have fought back more forcefully against Trumpâs attacks still seem to kowtow to him in other ways wrt public relations. I didnât read the Yale report, but Iâm sure there was an unspoken goal to give Trump 2.0 some sort of perceived âwinâ in the culture wars.
The national media is eating up this report as justification for perpetuating the lie that universities themselves - as opposed to decades of attacks from the far right authoritarian party - are responsible for eroding trust in higher education. You can almost hear them salivating at the chance.
The irony of this initiative is that Harvardâs Department of Government was the academic hub of the first generation of neoconservatives and Harvey Mansfield alone has probably produced more conservative undergrad and grad students than all Marxist faculty at Harvard combined.
Itâs just one more example of how much sh*t Vance will eat in order to make Donald Trump appear honorable and legitimate.
Proud of supporting war crimes.
