"The courts have no job to do here other than read the plain language of the Constitution." And so far, with the exception of one very big, important court, they're doing it.

Courts Keep Smacking Down Trump’s Lawless Attempt to End Birthright Citizenship

But he keeps plugging away—believing his allies on the Supreme Court will ultimately side with him.

Today I learned there are very few differences between ravens and crows.

But one key difference is they have a different amount of tail feathers,
so really, the difference is
a matter of a pinion.

Too much talk about 47 getting into heaven, even at his age, even with heart failure, there's something more urgently immediate for these hedonistic narcissists to be talking about the Pearly Gates.

Mike Johnson proves that he & that wanabee tortoise, Mitch McConnell, share the GOP lying-through-their-fucking teeth gene, in case anybody was wondering how elected officials could manufacture excuses that a 10 year old child could call bs.
Good thing the Press never wastes time calling obvious bs.

Three shutdown-related @nytimes.com stories from this week that mention the newly elected House member Republicans refuse to seat because she's the 18th and final signature needed to force an Epstein vote.

Zero mention of Trump's dead pedophile friend in any of the headlines and sub-headlines.

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇

Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it.

A timely reminder:

I WANT YOU TO STOP
BEING AFRAID:
of other Americans
of other religions
of other classes
of other nations
of speaking out.
You’re Americans.
Act like it!
If you don’t get it,
ask an American who does.

A black and white photo of a young black man, standing near the US Capitol on a clear day with a large sign that reads:
I want you to stop being afraid:
of other Americans
of other religions
of other classes
of other nations
of speaking out.
You’re Americans.
Act like it!
If you don’t get it, ask an American who does.

Headline should read that he's resigning after "getting caught participating" in the racist group chat.
The passive headline sounds like the Vermont Nazi had a moment of accountability.
Nah, dawg, GOP got caught.
Again.

Children are dying because Trump gutted USAID and cut lifesaving foreign aid — even though it took up less than 1% of the U.S. budget.

Meanwhile, he's preparing to dole out $40 billion to prop up Argentina's failing economy, all to help out his authoritarian pal.

Priorities.
