They need public support to cement their project and jettisoning these goons hurts that!

Michael Anderson @michaelander45.bsky.social · 6h

I think that probably a good read on their thinking. However, I think it's a misreading of what they would actually need to successfully complete their project.

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

Does Jack support ending the filibuster and expanding the court? Because those are necessary prerequisites.

Michael Anderson @michaelander45.bsky.social · 10h

I agree this was not foregrounded and that it was a problem, but you need to end the filibuster do get any of these reforms done and to neuter the court that is hostile to them. Something I think Jack Goldsmith might have a problem or two with.

This is really the quintessential failure of progressives, and the area where I think libertarians actually had a point (stopped clock and all): we have such a bad habit of getting fixed on the good things we want to do with government power that we forget that sometimes evil people get ahold of it

Sharon @sharonk.bsky.social · 1d

as Goldsmith points out, it's kind of insane no one thought that reigning this in during the Biden years was a good idea:

kind of wish a reporter would ask Mike Johnson who is more important to him, Jesus or Trump.

I'm sure he'd weasel out of it, but it would be fun to watch.

Restoring the veracity of sworn declarations is basically going to have to mean perjury prosecutions at this point IMO.

Judge Perry asked defendants’ counsel to explain the mechanics of this to her and got a “well that’s what the declaration says”

Hamilton responds, with anger in his voice, “This is no Carrie Underwood song.”

Perry then asks for more specifics about the agent who “had his beard ripped off” and the discovery of an alleged “improvised explosive device” at Broadview.

DOJ has nothing more to add.

Charges against James based on a different property from that Pulte had ID'd. Her attorney says she wrote the mortgage broker "THIS PROPERTY WILL NOT BE MY PRIMARY RESIDENCE. IT WILL BE Shamice's (her niece)." Looking forward to discussing the indictment on @allinwithchris.bsky.social at 8 PM ET.
