when history reflects on how trump managed to so quickly and so thoroughly kneecap democracy, the role of the Roberts Court cannot be overstated. trump's an amoral monster, but his biggest successes were only possible thanks to conservative justices who would bless them

I want to reiterate that countless conservative judges issued universal injunctions against the Biden administration, and the Supreme Court never halted the practice. Now, barely five months into Trump's second term, the court puts an end to these injunctions. A brazen double standard.

We need to stop treating SCOTUS like a legitimate institution. Been saying this since Roe fell. Not only will the courts not save us, a majority of SCOTUS justices have abandoned the rule of law to serve Trump and MAGA.

Again, this is how you know the whole DOGE thing is absolute bullshit. We’re apparently on the brink of financial ruin at all times when it comes to Social Security or healthcare or college in this country while simultaneously there’s infinite money when it comes to war.
President Trump announces he'll be requesting a record-breaking $1 trillion Pentagon budget.
"$1 trillion, and nobody's seen anything like it. We have to build our military and we're very cost conscious. But the military is something that we have to build, and we have to be strong"

Pulling the Stefanik nomination is a pretty good rebuttal to “nothing matters.” If the Trump admin weren’t so unpopular they’d have no concerns about that special election.

As I predicted.. voters views on "the economy" flipped as new administration came in.
Republicans who for years said economy was very/fairly bad... now have MIRACULOUSLY decided the economy is not so bad.
Views flipped right after election, even though underlying economic conditions didn't.

Donald Trump just had the least-watched inauguration in over 50 years.
If held outside, the inauguration would likely have also had the smallest crowd in modern history.
Don’t give Trump and MAGA power that they don’t have.
They may be in charge, but they are not popular, nor are they invincible.

Per Nielsen, Monday's inauguration of Trump drew a 14.1 household rating, making it the lowest-rated inauguration for an incoming president since at least 1969. Biden's swearing-in did a 21.1 HH rating, while Trump 1 did a 20.1.

I would caution people to stop relying on the Constitution as written to have any meaning other than what the people Trump put on the Supreme Court says it means.
"He can't do that" is not a useful response to the things he's going to do. The correct response is "Will the Court uphold that?"

Trump cannot abrogate birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment by way of executive order. That’s not how constitutional rights work.
