You knew he was a snake when you let him in, Marjorie.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I sent those deaths threats directly to him in a text message & informed him of what his name calling & words were doing - it was a direct assassination threat on my son. And he was extremely - I won't repeat what he said - but it was extremely unkind. No sympathy. No care"

I love that Trump fucked himself on this one.
Quid pro quo. Quo pro quid. Double bribery. Nice for Trump to confess!

it is actually kind of bananas how unitary executive theorists have taken a straightforward clause requiring the president to "faithfully execute the laws" and transformed it into a grant for the exercise of limitless unenumerated power.
The Take Care Clause was a byproduct of the lessons learned from the Glorious Revolution that the executive should not be able to dispense with the law promulgated by the legislature. It was not a constitutional provision to empower the executive branch— but to constrain it!

hence the "no kings" thing
a thought about trump v. slaughter. it is largely unspoken, but the assertion that there is an unlimited presidential removal power and that independent agencies functionally cannot exist is an assertion of presidential sovereignty.

It is really, really hard to get your head around the raw hubris of the majority. They really will be destabilizing the operating structure of the entire U.S. government. Why? Because they believe they have a better idea about how the past century should've been done.

This argument is so infuriating in so many ways. It's so clear the liberal judges are far more intelligent and less partisan than their counterparts. It's clear we have 6 justices willing to hand anything over to this administration. Undoubtedly, if and when we survive this regime, and Dems
Landmark case up for argument at SCOTUS at 10am on the power of presidents to fire independent agency heads.
Here’s my quick preview in Espresso, @economist.com’s daily app.
I’ll be posting live analysis during the oral argument in this thread

SCOTUS reform, in addition to trials for all involved in this administration, are non-negotiable at this point. If a candidate is wishy-washy, they can go fuck themselves. We need bold candidates willing to fight fire with fire. I'm done with mediocrity.
hey a fun thing is that if congress is delegating authority to an independent agency then by definition that agency is not "unaccountable." it is still accountable to congress. and it is interesting (read: extremely frustrating) to me that these people just write congress out of existence here.
Kavanaugh: Broad delegations to unaccountable agencies are dangerous for individual liberty! We have used the major questions doctrine to prevent agencies from overreaching.

Tom Cotton is a fucking psychopath but we’ve known that for a long time now.
BERMAN: Did you see any evidence of them trying to use a radio in the video you saw?
TOM COTTON: Well I saw lots of evidence of them standing on the boat that had been capsized
BERMAN: That wasn't my question. Did you see any evidence?

The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”

It remains way past time to make any further government contracts with SpaceX contingent on Elon Musk being removed from any role with the company.
(This is primarily directed towards the US government, but it also applies to all other countries buying rockets from the company.)

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.
Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.
Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?
