Self-Hating Lawyer. Marbury was wrongly decided. SCOTUS should not be revered.

A quick sidenote about this; one reason I stay on X is specifically because of exchanges like this, where @davidjbier.bsky.social and I got a prominent government official to make a claim so outrageous that it’s now ricocheting around the internet and actively undermining official PR campaigns.
Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

We spend twice as much per capita on health care as almost any nation on Earth. We pay the highest prescription drug prices in the world. 85 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured.

Republicans — pathetically — have nothing serious to say about the health care crisis.

Is "affordability" just a buzzword? @sanders.senate.gov breaks down the real cost-of-living crisis and why establishment Democrats are afraid to ask the simple question: Why are we spending twice as much as other countries on healthcare?

I like how some people held out hope that Disney was going to disrupt the AI industry instead of yet again doing the most evil thing possible
Disney and OpenAI sign a deal to bring 200+ Disney characters to Sora

Disney makes $1 billion investment in OpenAI and will become a "major" OpenAI customer

Unfortunately, the leverage Democrats had to extract real policy changes was squandered under Schumer’s failed leadership. Instead of holding the line to force negotiations on a real solution, he allowed a surrender that Republicans seized as fuel for the fire for their extremist healthcare agenda.

blatantly a violation of both the rules on Congress solely having the power to collect taxes, duties, excises, and so forth and also that such a new collection of federal revenue must originate as a bill in the House of Representatives, Madison wrote a bunch about it, the Constitution still matters?

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

Freedom of the Press is irrelevant if fascist billionaires control all of our media.
If Paramount is allowed to take over Warner Bros. Discovery, the conservative billionaire Ellison family will control:

Warner Bros.
DC Studios
