Very true!

Or are *members* of the court "illegitimate" (& should they be impeached)? In that case should decisions made while the impeached justices were seated be re-litigated with newly appointed justices?

That logic is used in court cases which are impacted by illegal activity (by lawyers, judges, etc.).

To clarify; Isn't that exactly what SCOTUS is doing?

STAY PEACEFUL! Don’t give trump/maga pretext (along w their lies & false narratives) to initiate the Insurrection Act & thus subvert the 2026 midterms. Instead record everything, speak out, but keep distance.

The @washingtonpost.com is now no more than a tabloid. Absolute tripe from the editorial board here.

I spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Good people will be deterred from public service if they see a meaningful risk of winding up in jail afterward.

🎯 - I haven't regretted for one second canceling my @washingtonpost.com subscription. They hired a tabloid editor and they have become just exactly that.

Look, if you fail to land a gig on The View- which is as lighthearted show discussion of current news as you can get- you're definitely not suited for hardcore news shows.
CBS News- once the home of Cronkite and Dan Rather is now reduced to her trashy journalism.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

These events need to be documented & used to bring a class action case. Or has this already happened? The people detained should get compensation & penalties for perpetrators individually. 34-felon isn't going to be able to pardon these ICE goons once he's out of office.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com had the video confrontation between #Arizona senators (@captmarkkelly.bsky.social & @gallego.senate.gov) & MJ on The Last Word tonight. It was stunning! MJ actually said "after you open the government". MJ needs to be expelled from office after Democrats win next year.
