A lotta people don’t know that the food things you buy are called “groceries.” Very old word. Never really hear it anymore. Groceries. I know a lot of words. Probably more words than anyone. Anyway. Groceries. You go into a store where there’s food. And you come out with groceries. Very powerful.

Preet Bharara, former U.S. attorney, points out that this Supreme Court is about as sympathetic to the "expansive executive power" that Donald Trump wants to wield as is possible, which makes their rejection of his plan to deport without due process that much more significant.

This WorldPride, The Bulwark and Crooked Media are teaming up for a big gay live show and fundraiser held at the Lincoln Theatre in the heart of our nation’s capital. Join Crooked's Jon Lovett, The Bulwark's Tim Miller and Sarah Longwell, and special guests to celebrate Pride, vent, pre-game, commiserate, laugh, vent some more, and raise money for the Immigrant Defenders Law Center, which represents Andry Hernandez Romero and others being held in El Salvador without so much as a hearing. Because if this administration can kidnap Andry and ship him off to a foreign gulag – if they get away with that and the media just moves on – they can do it to anyone. Pride is about fighting for each other, and the power we have collectively when we aren’t afraid to tell the truth. And if Tim and Lovett can share a stage – with a lesbian no less! – we can all come together this Pride to tell these evil creeps to fuck all the way off.

Trump's presidential immunity is back in court. He may not like why.
"The government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts," she argues.
