Urgent update.
Our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures.
Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.

The Evil 6 are not justices; they are politicians; but politicians with lifetime tenure. I'm guessing the Founding Fathers didn't anticipate such corrupt politicians on the Court, completely unrestrained by passive cowards in the Congress.

The most striking thing here to me is the use of the Trump v US (immunity) decision to justify expanded presidential power in a completely different realm.
That decision will go down in infamy. It has destroyed the legitimacy of the Court and threatens the foundation of Constitutional government.

"President Donald Trump’s lawyer argued on Monday for far-reaching power that would go well beyond his ability to fire officials at the Federal Trade Commission and other independent agencies," Joan Biskupic writes.

this is really it — this case isn't about the legitimacy of birthright citizenship or the 14th amendment, it's about the legitimacy of the court, and any ruling that doesn't uphold the former decides the latter
Counterpoint:
The Supreme Court lacks the authority to change the text of the Constitution.
So either it affirms the text or (further, and more completely) nukes its authority as Constitutional arbiter.
There’s no third option. Art III (courts) can’t just usurp Art V (amendments).

In 2024, the Coast Guard conducted more than 250 targeted interceptions in the Caribbean of boats believed to be transporting drugs based on intel. Only 55 were actually transporting drugs; the rest (80%) were innocent.
Trump's policy is to kill them all, including the 80% who are innocent.

Trump is invading American cities to nominally address crime, and I think the scale of his pardon-sprees should be given more political salience
When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

We need to shut this self-enriching plan down.
Trump’s collusion with Russia and ultimatum to Ukraine are a dangerous break from America’s values and strategic commitments. His approach abandons our allies, sows chaos around the world, and enriches a small circle of elites at the expense of American security.

We should get serious about sanctions. Russian missiles that kill Ukrainian civilians contain parts made in the West. And this repeated mass murder of civilians by Moscow should bring total boycotts on Russian gas and oil. And the Ukrainians should get everything they need to defend themselves

This is aimed a women with a bonus for targeting health care.
The Department of Education is proposing a definition that could strip nurse practitioners and CRNAs of “professional degree” status.
Chiropractors keep it. Nurses risk losing it. And that change would fall hardest on women in healthcare.
This is political and it is sexist.

One ~182km x ~211km solar thermal plant could provide all of America’s electricity, including a fully-electrified land transport sector.
100% clean power from just 0.39% of U.S land.
That’s why renewables are constantly under attack from the fossil fuel industry and their paid mouthpieces.
