Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows: "In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis. When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."

OOP

New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!'

Trump administration considers unfreezing $20 billion in Iranian assets as peace talks ramp up | CNN Politics The Trump administration is considering unfreezing $20 billion in Iranian assets as part of ongoing negotiations with Tehran, according to two sources familiar with the discussions.

"Here's why it's good to make a deal and hand Iran $20 billion but it was bad when Obama did a deal and gave them $1.7 billion of their frozen assets" - headlines from the near future www.cnn.com/2026/04/17/p...

It might draw attention to two thousand years without the promised return to restore Israel and all that "the time is short" 1 Corinthians 15 stuff. But I like it! You missed your calling in marketing 😃

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

Trump administration seems to thwart Fascism everywhere they go by...(checks notes)...promoting Fascism across the globe. Let's hope the U.S. is next

Sitting in a crowded movie theater and the audience literally begins to Boo after an advertisement for Claude AI.

I'm fascinated by the continued insistence that this is what the people want.

Pfizer has ended its large Phase III Trial of an updated COVID19 vaccine.

They were not able to enroll enough people to meet their goal.

A major problem is the FDA’s wholly unreasonable demand that people with chronic conditions, who benefit most from the vaccine, not be allowed to participate.

Border Patrol chief Michael Banks hit with prostitution allegations by agents Banks "bragged" to colleagues while in his previous management role at the patrol about paying for sex with prostitutes while traveling over a decade.

New story out this morning from the Washington Examiner saying that it's an open secret inside the Border Patrol that the current Border Patrol Chief has bragged for decades about going to Thailand and Colombia to sleep with a bunch of sex workers.

wish SCOTUS would examine "a well regulated militia" with the granularity they are debating "domicile"

We should all buy sharpies and cross out the name. Every Dollar Bill can stand as a protest.

1 out of every 342,000 Americans is a Billionaire. $1 out of every $5 contributed to an American political campaign comes from a Billionaire. We cannot pretend to sustain a democracy like this.

Another university getting rid of things you could only ever do at a university and replacing them with stuff a 13-year-old can do on a phone

Trump Team Changed a Report to Hide How Bad DOGE Made Things You’d never know what call wait times at the Social Security Administration are actually like based on what was supposed to be a nonpartisan report.

“The Washington Post revealed Thursday that the Trump administration altered a Social Security report to make call wait times appear shorter than they actually were.” 3/20/26 share.google/4uxvmflD9xgy...

Sure sounds like somebody at DOGE took the Social Security numbers and personal information of every American on record, and put it on a thumb drive to bring home to Elon Musk’s AI company.

Here's back to back clips of Fox & Friends misleading viewers this morning by presenting as though it's new an old clip of Donald Trump attending a dignified transfer without his campaign baseball cap on (unlike yesterday, when he wore one), then apologizing for it later in the show

Today's Supreme Court ruling on gerrymandering in New York, despite constant assurance that these issues must be left to the States, means that it has become literally impossible to defend the integrity of the Court. "Racial bias" apparently exists only when white people are the beneficiaries.

White House stalls release of approved US science budgets The US Congress rejected sweeping cuts to science agencies. But the NIH, the NSF and NASA have had their spending slowed.

Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers.

The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. 🧵👇

It's almost like the FIFA Peace prize means nothing to him.

And include the Trump administrations refusal to release all of the Epstein files in a timely manner as a key element of this Constitutional crisis.

The Democratic response to the SOTU speech needs to be a demand for impeachment and removal w/ a clinical dissection of Republican weakness and obsequiousness in the face of a Constitutional crisis. Frame these new tariffs as a tax on the American people and a rallying cry to vote Republicans out.

The legal system is rigged... against shitty lawyers

Pathetic
