The Supreme Court gave ICE the green light to profile, detain, and deport based on looks.

Being Brown is now probable cause.

This is legal now.

Let that sink in.

This catches something really important. The risk
is less that this crew changes the regime and more that while trying to do so they cash out the whole thing. Which is one more powerful reason why resistance is patriotic.
The U.S. is giving dying mall vibes.

I can't explain it, but you know I'm right.

The Epstein files are a brutal reminder of how far the powerful will go to protect each other.

And the MAGA justices on the Supreme Court?

Never forget they gave a convicted felon immunity as president.

This isn’t justice. It’s Trump's protection racket in robes.

Experts discuss how the Supreme Court’s 2000 ruling in Bush v. Gore changed the relationship between Americans and elections — and between elections and the courts. Listen to The Briefing with Michael Waldman: bit.ly/4j1sqXr
Bush v. Gore and the State of U.S. Elections
Listen to this episode from The Briefing with Michael Waldman on Spotify. For a generation, presidential races were blowouts. Every winner between 1980 and 1996 won by at least 37 Electoral College votes. These landslides relegated conspiracy theories about contested elections to the political fringes.Then came 2000. The last polls showed a dead heat. On election night, the networks called it for Al Gore, then retracted their calls, then called it for George W. Bush, and retracted again.Ultimately, five Supreme Court justices, all appointed by Republican presidents, put an end to the recount underway in Florida and effectively declared Bush the winner. The fractured opinions were a maze of disagreements, with the majority warning that the opinion should not be cited as precedent. Their reasoning flummoxed legal scholars — even those who agreed with the outcome. Listen as experts involved in the case discuss how it changed the relationship between Americans and elections and between elections and the courts.Speakers:David Boies, Founding Partner, Boies Schiller FlexnerBenjamin Ginsberg, Volker Distinguished Visiting Fellow, Hoover Institution; National Counsel, Bush-Cheney Presidential CampaignBarbara Pariente, Justice (retired), Florida Supreme CourtWendy Weiser, Vice President, Democracy, Brennan Center for JusticeModerator: Michael Waldman, President and CEO, Brennan CenterRecorded on December 9, 2025.Keep up with the Brennan Center’s work by subscribing to our weekly newsletter, The Briefing, at https://go.brennancenter.org/briefing.The Brennan Center is a nonpartisan law and policy institute that works to repair, revitalize, and defend our systems of democracy and justice so they work for all Americans.

Give me a good reason why the lead story on every news broadcast today and on the front of every newspaper tomorrow should not be that Donald Trump violated at least two laws today — not releasing all of the Epstein files, and defacing the Kennedy Center.
