Marco Rubio Is Not the Adult in the Room. He’s the Warmonger.
Every single senator eagerly confirmed their former colleague to be secretary of state, but he is not at all the moderating force that they thought he’d be.

There's a longstanding debate over the value of law professor amicus briefs at #SCOTUS.
I'll just note that the additional briefing the Court ordered today in the Illinois National Guard case was in direct response to an amicus brief filed by ... a law professor (@martylederman.bsky.social).

Our government is full of examples where there is supposed to be independence from the executive branch, especially the judiciary.

We at The Steady State have studied the indicators of authoritarianism for decades — usually dry words in intelligence reports. But sometimes, a single photograph says it all.
Authoritarianism doesn’t arrive all at once. It creeps in under cover of “order,” cloaked in uniforms, justified by fear.

Please explain to me why we are letting Stephen Miller drive the bus off a cliff. He's a monster.
He wants a LOT of dead Americans, a police state, and a dictator. And he wants a very weak, very demented dictator.

Trump is much weaker than he looks. He's always been a bloated, sloppy, low-IQ flaccid failure. Now he’s a bloated, sloppy, low-IQ flaccid failure desperately trying to distract from all that by attacking US cities with our military and sending his Justice Dept after political opponents.

George Floyd should still be alive and with his family today.
In his memory, let us recommit ourselves in the fight against injustice. It's past time for Congress to pass the Justice in Policing Act to increase police accountability and create a more equitable justice system for ALL.
