You gonna let Trump wipe his ass with that?

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."

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!!'

The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court

Chief Justice John Roberts should be impeached and removed from the Supreme Court.

John Roberts is and always has been Sam Alito with better PR

he has declared himself and his fellow republican justices the unelected rulers of America and they have wielded their power in favor of making Donald Trump of all people untouchable

the court as it exists today must be broken

Hot dog

Pay attention folks. This is how it's done. Trump sues his own DOJ, run by his private attorney, for $10 billion. Normally that would go through the courts with the DOJ arguing AGAINST giving Trump $10 billion.

Instead, his DOJ will negotiate a settlement OUTSIDE of court. Literally inside dealing.

I’d like to highlight the fact that despite the fact we don’t have a functional federal law enforcement apparatus at the moment and the world is still spinning on its axis. We aren’t seeing chaos in the streets, etc etc

Rep Justin Jones made a statement entrance, walking into the Tennessee legislature with an"Abolish ICE" flag. No subtlety. No backing down.🔥🔥

Update on where things stand on FISA: this deal is a win. We got the House to back down from an 18 month extension, buying us time to negotiate on real reforms. I'll be fighting like hell for reforms that put your privacy first, and will have more to share soon.

Jesus

It shocks me how many businesses still don’t seem to get that Trump’s cultural revolution did not actually happen

i have zero sympathy for gosar, who has lied to his constituents for years about his health and who is a profoundly repulsive person, but it makes you wonder how empty the barrel has gotten that TPUSA would put him onstage like this

We don’t have to, “as a man with a male gaze” has been the default social & cultural POV since….well, how long ya got?

Fuck up Jim Himes’ phone lines.

More perfect union: BREAKING: The Senate just passed the legislation allowing the devastation of the Boundary Waters. The motion passed 50-49, and now goes to Donald Trump’s desk.

Republicans just handed the Boundary Waters to a foreign corporation.

For the GOP, it’s foreign billionaires first, America last.

Screenshot of Bluesky. It has failed to load--there are no posts, but there is a big red banner with a red exclamation point and the word "Forbidden"

Seems like things are also going great here at BlueSky and by weird coincidence, I just saw a post talking about how many of the devs use AI to code

😦

Exactly right. For the Dems it's been genuinely grassroots up on Palestine but there's no such parallel on any topic for the GOP yet.

Sen. Mike Crapo blocked Sen. Elizabeth Warren's last-ditch attempt to preserve the IRS's free Direct File program.

In the last election cycle, Crapo was the top GOP congressional recipient of campaign contributions from the corporate PAC of TurboTax's parent company.
