Did you know? When SCOTUS said in 1937 that the Social Security Act was unconstitutional, President Roosevelt didn’t ask people to vote harder in the next election, he told the Supreme Court he’d add more justices until they backed off, which they did. — We can still do that.

“Judges are not experts in the field, and are not part of either political branch of government”
-Justice John Paul Stevens

That was 1984 regarding the "Chevron deference" doctrine. One of the most cited decisions in American history

And now the illegitimate Supreme Court has taken away agency powers to enforce laws…

Don’t want mercury in your cereal? Too bad.
Expecting your plane to stay in the air? Buyer beware

This could wind up being the most costly decision ever.

@Nonilex calm down. What do swing voters think? THATS the question. I think Trump grossed them out.

Via Klasfeld:

Judge gave ’s prosecutors a rough reception at today’s hearing on the special counsel’s funding, even doing an on-the-spot line item review of their recent disclosures.

was on hand in court to watch it.

Court is in recess. More soon.

At first it is hard to believe that most people don't pay much attention to politics. Most people don't know what "project 24" is or the significance of the phrase "obstructing an official procedure" (maybe you are such a person) --but, when I think about how tense, nervous and occasionally helpless political news makes me feel I totally get it. Also, a lot of this stuff is boring and kind of technical.

25 corporations pretending to honor Pride month have donated $18 million to anti-LGBTQ+ politicians since November 2022.

Ignore the marketing and follow the money.

Good riddance.

The shooter who opened fire in a + nightclub in 2022, killing five people and injuring 19, was sentenced in federal court Tuesday to life in prison without the possibility of parole plus 190 years.

    A new report revealed #Trump’s disturbing penchant for #executing his #political enemies. His response is somehow even worse.

    Fmr Trump comms dir #AlyssaFarahGriffin revealed that Trump called for the #execution of a staffer on several occasions during his time in the WH—& the disturbing news (& Trump’s even more troubling reaction) is already fading from headlines.

    Listening to Oakland County prosecutor talk about preventing gun violence and mass shootings.

    I disagree with her

    No, it's not about mental health.

    No, there doesn't need to be a stress assessment for your community or schools

    It's the guns.

    Mass shootings happen daily in the United States.

    It's the guns.

    Via Kyle Griffin:

    FLAG: Steve , weeks before he goes to prison, says a 2nd Trump term will target Biden officials: "We're coming after Lisa Monaco, Merrick Garland, the sr members of DOJ that have prosecuted Pres Trump. Jack Smith. This is not about vengeance … it's not about retribution. This is about saving this republic."

    "We're going to use the Constitution and the rule of law to go after you and hold you accountable. Nov. 5 is judgment day. Jan. 20, 2025 is accountability day."

    Deputy fatally shoots 7 starving, abandoned dogs

    Arriving at a rural property, an #Arizona #sheriff’s deputy approaches a group of starving dogs behind a fence. Some are sleeping, others bark & wag their tails. The deputy lays out food & water to corral them, body-cam video shows.
    The deputy then pulls out a gun & shoots them 1 by 1, killing 7, before dragging their bloodied bodies to his truck. He later dumped the bodies near RR tracks.

    Y'all do realize Joe is , right?

    If Catholicism is to blame for the Supreme Court and all Catholics are the same, always agreeing with the Pope, then how can I vote for Biden.

    After all, he literally is as to blame for as George HW Bush--Biden was the Senate Judiciary Chair. When Anita Hill was brushed off at the hearing it was Joe Biden who did the brushing off.

    Or is it possible, just possible, it's more complicated than "all Catholics are alike"?

    introduce bill to federal programs
    The measure backed by several lawmakers would also halt federal for agencies, & other orgs that have DEI policies. Republican legislators introduced a bill that would end all federal , & programs, & end funding for government agencies, contractors, schools & other organizations that have their own DEI programs.

    “The thing with Sam Alito is that he doesn’t give a fuck. He is a seventy-something Fox News watcher and religious fundamentalist who happens to find himself in a position of immense and almost incomparable power over all of American society and he’s going to take that power to the limit to advance his own political preferences. He’s not even going to go through the motions of pretending that’s not the case.”

    Josh Marshall understands Alito all too well. Gift link:
