The emergency docket is not being used to address emergencies and is being abused to usurp Constitutional order and established precedents. Roberts dishonorable court of "Leonard Leo's partisan hack society" has mangled it into a meritless docket of nullity.

Enforcement stayed in the legislating lane refusing to change over to its enforcement lane. Legislating sat on the side of the road refusing to negotiate retrieving keys they threw out the window. The judicial vehicle belligerently swerved across every lane refusing to provide any merits as to why.

Dictator Evil celebrates his latest market manipulating tariff while his anti-American, anti-Republican, anti-Conservative and anti-Christian MAGA cult keeps the government shutdown. The illegitimate regime just bailed out Argentina as consumer good prices soar jobs disappear, the GDP is only seeing .1% growth and the top ten percentile see their taxes cut with the bottom ninety percentile having to foot the bill. Next to Dictator Evil MiniMeme contemplates his next racist tirade to distract from the compounding failures.

America is in a recession right now as the 2019 "steal the election" insurrection continues.

What's the strategy for driving down Kenvue Inc's stock with the Tylenol propaganda? Investors expect the CEO being ousted in July was laying the groundwork for a sale of the entire company or pieces of it. Trumps greedy goons have their eyes on ownership and want to drive the price down?

Congressional Conflicts: Lawmakers dump Tylenol stock before autism controversy

(The Center Square) — Before President Trump warned pregnant women to avoid taking Tylenol, three members of Congress dumped stock in the Fortune 500 company that makes the popular painkiller

This is that "plenary" authority Stephen Miller was referring to in the now edited CNN interview. Arguing that the president's deployment of troops is unreviewable by the courts is arguing that his power is plenary.

Hamilton insists the president's decision is "unreviewable."

A really great piece from my colleague @davidgilbert.bsky.social on Rutgers professor Mark Gray and the attacks against him from the right

Seems important that the Speaker of the House does not even try to dispute that the president is unwell.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

In Trump’s America, billionaire and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison is a kind of shadow president. Meanwhile, the Ellison family is cornering the market on attention and data the same way the Vanderbilts did railroads and the Rockefellers did oil.

All of this 💯

There is no budget deal to be made until the unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis ends, & all of the lawless authoritarianism & illegal impoundment is ended & reversed. Otherwise, it’s just successful hostage taking.

You’ve gotta be kidding me.

This WaPo editorial presents a misleading revisionist history of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s criminal cases against Trump.

Then it has the gall to compare that to Trump’s overt targeting of his perceived enemies.

Really embarrassing stuff.

But the mere fact that a legal tool might be available does not mean it should be used. The
current rage over Grassley's revelation shows why. Smith showed little restraint in his pursuit of a former president. He charged Trump for official acts he took as president. He sought a gag order to limit Trump's ability to criticize the prosecution. He tried to accelerate the case to try a leading presidential candidate before the 2024 election.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Both Trump's (ongoing) "steal the election" insurrection and his accessibly hording classified documents in violation of the espionage act trials get rebranded as "official acts" by Joffrey Bozos Washillton Post.

Added some more accomplices, co-conspirators, and insurrectionists on top of the CDI hire. Probably the scariest thing you will see all week unless you watch the constitutional crisis tomorrow.

Democracy dies in the darkness, unless we can keep it.
