#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three democratic appointees, #SCOTUS puts Texas's new House maps back into effect for (and, presumably, through) the 2026 midterms.

The three Democratic appointees, in an opinion by Justice Kagan, dissent.

I'll post the ruling shortly.

The Roberts Court rescues Trump’s agenda on the emergency docket again — this time, with a stay of a lower court order blocking racially gerrymandered Texas maps.

The liberal justices dissent.

This is so messed up… Amnesty International reports that detainees at Alligator Alcatraz (and at another facility, Krome North Service Processing Center) describe being placed in a “punishment box,” a cage-like structure in the yard so cramped that people could not sit, lie down, or

The fact that that they're backing off of "Damn right i ordered the code red" means they're worried.

this Is so upsetting and it’s important not to become desensitized
ICE pepper spray disabled woman using a cane—directly at her face from point blank range.

Agents then shove her down hard to the ground—after she was already incapacitated and stumbling backwards.

This is second incident of excessive force in St. Paul, Minnesota this past week.

100% the lawyers said "you can't do that," and 100% the deciders (including) POTUS said "who cares, there are no consequences."

And that is 100% the fault of SCOTUS and its wretched unitarism, fully immunized.
BREAKING: President Trump declared that all of former President Biden’s pardons are now “invalid.” There is no legal mechanism for presidents to revoke their predecessors’ pardons but if Trump is taken seriously, thousands could be thrown into legal chaos.

President Trump unleashed a xenophobic tirade against Somali immigrants on Tuesday during a publicly broadcast cabinet meeting, calling them “garbage” he does not want in the U.S. as he sought to refocus public attention on his anti-immigration rhetoric.

strong agree! you are under no obligation to print irrelevancies, lies, or bullshit in your newspaper and in fact should not do so
My hot media take is that it's important to contact the subject of a story for a response but if they say something that's not relevant or true, and especially if they just denounce the story without offering an actual explanation of what they object to, you don't have to include their statement

DOJ says immigration judges, as "inferior officers," may be fired on the basis of sex, religion, race, or national origin. Leaving aside the law, it's *politically* remarkable they're taking this position.

There's no question in my mind that Woke Bill Kristol would be the most effective Democratic House leader of my lifetime. I take no pleasure, etc.
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.

If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Bill kristol - and it kills me to say this - has been right about really big questions of domestic policy. He’s right about this.

He was spectacularly and inexcusably wrong about Iraq but he’s been making up for it

While this usually isn't the intent, "no one will ever be held accountable for this" doomerism is an excuse not to try.

There'll be at least some accountability if enough Americans work for it. And this time really is different. Doesn't guarantee the aftermath will be, but it increases the chances.

This is really a great point.

This kind of dissonance is what Nazis do.
They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.
KARL: Did you know about the judge's order when you issued your order for the planes to continue?

KRISTI NOEM: This is an activist judge. We comply with all federal orders that are lawful and binding.
