The second and FINAL opinion today: Snyder v. US. Written by Justice Kavanaugh. The vote is 6-3. Jackson dissents, joined by Sotomayor and Kagan.

Geidner:

The final SCOTUS decision today is Snyder v. US. Kavanaugh has the court's 6-3 decision on ideological grounds, holding that the Section 666 bribery statute does not apply to "gratuities" given for public officials' past acts. Jackson writes the liberals' dissent.

Thank god for Justice Jackson. Her writings always make me feel like: yes I am sane, it's not me it's those 6 other justices.

So, Marge says she told Biden, “Say her name, Lincoln Riley.” So Biden does that & gets ridiculed by Greene & MAGA for supposedly mispronouncing it. He pronounced it exactly the way Marge says she told him to in this clip.

While criticizing Biden for mispronouncing Laken Riley’s name, MTG makes the same mistake and calls her Lincoln Riley

Excuse me. I was being facetious. My point was about how the press handles Trump differently than Biden.

Ken Paxton, aided by his arch-conservative allies, targeted 3 GOP judges on ' Court of Criminal Appeals, one of TX's two high courts. Why? They voted to restrict his ability to prosecute elections a couple of years ago.

All three incumbents lost in yesterday's GOP primary.

Forgot the #WompWomp !

🤭👉🏼 “#Trump offered NY appeals court a bond of only $100 mil to pause the more than $450 million penalty he faces in his civil fraud case, a clear sign that the former president lacks the $ to cover the full amount.

..also asked to pause enforcement of finan penalty & wide range of other punishments the judge levied.” #legal

Republicans are mad that Democrats didn’t tell them that Rep. Al Green would get out of his hospital bed to vote against their sham impeachment. They’re so used to winning elections by suppressing the Black vote that they think it’s a trick when a Black person actually does vote.

    @KevinHuigens @GottaLaff

    This, exactly.

    I'm not trying to be dismissive, but when I saw the headline, that Zuck had "apologized" and then heard the actual words (I'm sorry that you all went thru this...) that strikes me as something anyone could say to any person who has gone through some kind of difficult situation. For instance, I could say to someone battling cancer: I'm sorry you are going thru this. That's not what I consider an apology.

    Perhaps more was said by Zuck, and I missed it?
