Serious question: does there come a point where everyone admits that Constitutional originalism is just a made-up vibe-based philosophy that gives Republican judges a pretext for ruling however it is that Republicans want them to rule?

These thugs and their bosses are a stain on America. We all have to stand up, folks.

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

Oh my God! That’s insane. I won’t know for a bit longer if mine has gone up again.

Hey @cnbc.com John Thune just lied on Squawkbox. Democrats aren’t proposing $1.5 trillion in health benefits for undocumented immigrants. Also, how the hell are people getting automatically enrolled in ACA plans without knowing it? Healthcare costs would be going up faster but for the ACA. Liar.

None of these immigration enforcement goons should ever know a moment's peace but Black folks roasting a Black HSI agent's haircut right in front of his white coworkers is a special little slice of heaven

The anti-DEI anti-woke movement has always been transparently white supremacist. Nonetheless, moves like canceling a game about the Klan being the bad guys really drives home the point.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Company leadership deemed the project too controversial for the moment, sources tell Game File

I begged @spiegel.de to translate Jörg Schindler's excellent reporting on America's fall into theocracy and they did. As I keep saying, German journalists are doing a better job covering America's fall than American journalists. 1/

Trump's Crusaders: Christian Nationalists Are Gaining a Solid Foothold in Washington

U.S. President Donald Trump has opened the doors of power to far-right Christian nationalists. Their goal: an American theocracy. The separation of church and state in America is at risk.

Republicans should actually be mad at the way she’s insulting their intelligence by reading her talking points.

Cleansing? Exactly what does this little fascist have in mind?

Schmitt: "Let's just call it out. We need a cleansing here. Let's just be truthful about what's happening. This left-wing political violence is not a both sides thing. It's not."

Listening to Pam Bondi’s Senate testimony. I so wish a Senator would just tell her that she really should remake the outrage and right wing talking points down a notch because it’s insulting the intelligence of everyone watching.

‪So he’s saying that he warnedPete Hegseth about Osama bin Laden. Hegseth was a 20 year old sophomore at Princeton and didn’t even join the Army National Guard until 2003.‬

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 4d

Trump: "I said one year before to Pete Hegseth, I said, one year before -- where's Pete? In the book I wrote -- whatever the hell the title, I can't tell you -- but I can tell you there's a page in there devoted to the fact that I saw somebody named Osama bin Laden and I didn't like it."

“We don’t think the way fraudsters think” is a very funny thing for a guy who made his money on daytime TV to say

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 3d

Dr Oz: "We have an advantage with AI. You know why? We don't think the way fraudsters think. That's just not what our minds do. The bank managers don't think about bank fraud. They want to do loans and help businesses. Fraudsters think about fraud. So the AI can think the way a fraudster thinks."

Text above the photo says, "Did you know ANTIFA has its own cemetery?! There are more than 400,000 ANTIFA buried there, including my grandfather. It's called Arlington."

Do we really have such abysmal collective memory that we need to be *told* that the right has a history of censoring free speech? Have we really swallowed so much reactionary-centrist bullshit about "cancel culture" that we've forgotten that primal political truth?

Trump and Vance want badly to stop you from using the f-word

That's because if we accurately call out rising fascism from the streets of Chicago to the waters of the Caribbean, we will understand that we must fight back with the moral strength of war
