Did we just witness the end of the precedent set by Marbury v. Madison?

"Bobrovsky's in the blue paint, it's Arvidsson's job to avoid him."

I thought that was the rule, but I guess only 1 team gets it.

Nothing I hate worse in sports than inconsistent officiating.

Concerning the Mason Rudolph et al. incident, if the @pittsburghsteeler.bsky.social are serious about its position, why not sue Rudolph et al. for trademark (maybe copyright) infringement/misappropriation? Unauthorized use of your IP would usually be a big problem for teams. Why not here?

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

I wonder if the use of the word "facilitate" here simply means "remove all barriers to effectuate the closure," or it means something closer to "get it done." This is a line from Trump's own EO directing the closure of the Department of Education.

Section 2, paragraph 1 of President Trump's Executive Order, directing Secretary McMahon to "facilitate the closure of the Department of Education."

Imagine perjuring yourself in such a ridiculous way. I'm certain I can choose an option to view specifically the reels that my friends have liked. There's a tab in the top right of my screen in the "Reels" tab.

Am I crazy?

didn't take much for these guys to go from "big government is bad" to "what's the big deal if you're abducted by the government and trafficked to Mongolia"

@pegobry_en

Let's say you're a US citizen and ICE grabs you off
the street and puts you on a plane to Mongolia.
Don't you just go to your consulate, give them your
name, date of birth, etc., they make you a new
passport, and you fly home? They do this all day
for tourists who had their stuff & ID stolen, there
are procedures. I mean obviously it sucks to have
that happen to you but it's not like your life is over
or anything. And the government should definitely
write you a nice check as an apology.

Can we acknowledge that not even Richard Nixon, a President we hold up as a paragon of unethical conduct in the Office, was willing to defy an order from SCOTUS?

It's not even like it was a close vote either. Not even the Conservative justices made a separation of powers dissent.

SCOOP: sources tell me that the State Dept plans to eliminate its only office to counter foreign disinformation, as soon as today, delivering a win to foreign governments like Russia, Iran, and China—and the office's mostly conservative critics.

US office that counters foreign disinformation is being eliminated, say officials

Conservative critics have long accused the department of helping to censor the American right.

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security.

Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."

This is actively being shared by Trumpers on Facebook. My mother shared a post with this verbatim with the added commentary of: "Interesting."

In short, people are sharing this.

SCOTUS precedent basically set the stage for it. You'd have to legislate either around or through First Am issues. With this Court makeup, and as long as Roberts exists, good luck with that. Do we already forget Citizens United was under the Roberts court?

On this Day of Remembrance, we honor the 120,000 Japanese Americans unjustly imprisoned during WWII because of their heritage. Their resilience remind us to never forget the lessons of history. We will continue to fight for justice, equality, and civil rights for all.
