“The Court got a very big one right—in ways that will almost certainly make it more difficult, as it should be, for the Trump administration to attempt to militarize domestic law enforcement based on dubious factual predicates.”

How long is it going to take the Dept of Commerce to severely revise down the GDP growth statistic? Anyone else getting China vibes off the unrealistically high number? Or maybe we've finally entered the period where government statistics are meaningless because they aren't real? So sad.

There are plenty of examples this being exactly what white supremacists used to say in the past. As usual history is a circle.🔁

A few reminders about the SCOTUS immunity decision for Presidents:
It does not provide immunity for prior crimes.
It does not provide immunity to the President's cabinet.
Similar to Roe v. Wade, it can be overturned in the future.
