Just to be clear. CBS news is no longer a journalism or news source. A sad day for integrity.

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law.

The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia:

The gun was removed by agents from his waistband - he was never pointing it at them. He was already disarmed when they fired "defensive shots," killing him. They then fired several shots at his lifeless body.

Is it shocking a man with over 40+ rape allegations with a child sex trafficking best friend would not take no for an answer? Donald Trump is upping his rape game to full countries now.

This is the kind of thing that the Founders explicitly designed our constitution to prevent; a president who has seized wealth for his own benefit without any intervention from Congress, which in our system is supposed to be the holder of the power of the purse.

FWIW, I found this worthwhile. Complexities of what is going on and how this extends back into the first administration.

You have a sexual predator occupying the WH.
He and every one of his cohorts must be held accountable.
His enablers in Congress & DOJ must be held accountable.

Survivors deserve closure & justice.

Someone I follow at the other place that's a nurse pointed out below-the-knee leg braces on both legs that you can clearly see through his pants. She's surmising that he has "drop foot" from advancing dementia.

If that's the case, next up for him is a walker.
Then a wheelchair.

We’re fine, Vox. If you have idea problems, that’s a) a you problem and b) probably means you need to shake up your life. Go on a walking tour, take only a flip phone and an emergency beacon. Go spend two weeks in a white tent or a yurt (without internet) and reset your circadian.
Go. Do. Things.

America, you have spoken loud and clear: You do not like AI. But what if AI is the way to restart the world’s idea machine?
We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.
What if the best use of AI is restarting the world’s idea machine?

Worse, he’s not exercising moral authority with that statement, but basically invoking the authority of his position. Any leader in that position is cooked - they’ve lost the organization.

This is what you call "great"?
Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

They don’t seem to have any vision on how to actually make people’s lives better right now. It’s “we will punish the people you hate and through magic, that will make your life better” but that shit doesn’t work!

I was trying in vain to figure out what Trump's game was in Venezuela, and now @mollymckew.bsky.social has written a brilliant two-part piece explaining it all...and, spoiler alert, it's not good for America, but very good for Russia, and is absolutely terrifying.

#askpreet Do you think current cabinet members have been advised that, if prosecuted in the future, they will be able to argue that presidential immunity applies to them via doctrines of agency or respondeat superior or something similar? @preetbharara.bsky.social
