This single point confirms that the "legal" argument about the President's power to remove independent commissioners is strictly class warfare
not remotely connected to any consistent doctrine or theory
it is merely a naked assertion of power to protect the kleptocracy from the rabble

The administration doesn't take issue with the Supreme Court's view the @federalreserve.gov is "uniquely structured"with an "historical tradition," Solicitor General Sauer says in hearing on Trump's ability fire FTC Commissioner. But that doesn't mean the president's powers are restricted, he says.

I have some doubts about this meme. Wouldn't a Catholic church respond positively to this woman's request for help? Perhaps they referred her to the diocese and that doesn't count?
Otherwise very plausible, and one of the reasons I don't participate anymore

I'm glad Mr. Elias thinks so.
The special election in Tennessee's 7th district also revealed how loading a red district with blue Nashville Democrats can backfire.

In a surprising twist, the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision to let Texas use its mid-decade gerrymander for the 2026 midterm elections may end up strengthening California’s defense of its voter-approved map. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump has a long way to go before he can top Obama's 3,797 drone strikes outside of active war zones.
Some of Obama's victims were children under 5.
But Trump has demonstrated how you can take *popular* crimes against humanity and make them *unpopular*.

"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor of the House of Representatives, and we know that's the case."
This is a flat-out 100% lie from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and he knows it. Impeachment resolutions are privileged, they can force a vote at any time.

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Big Oil is "wildly desperate to dodge the growing array of lawsuits over the damage caused by their decades-long scheme to deceive the public about climate change," writes @aaronregunberg.bsky.social.

The Supreme Court’s Ethics Code Is a Joke. Big Oil Knows That.
Oil companies want the Supreme Court to intervene to dismiss lawsuits about climate change. Amy Coney Barrett and Samuel Alito both have big conflicts of interest on that front.

Fear of revolution made it very good at preserving the status quo
But now this judicial immune system interprets Trump lawyers as the threat
