We will win.
Between the popular backlash to ICE brutality and Jerome Powell‘s statement, we are getting more and more signs that Trump is failing to consolidate an authoritarian regime

The Supreme Court sets aside lower court decisions upholding convictions for bribery related to the FIFA scandal because the Trump administration decided to dismiss those criminal cases "in the interests of justice." The FIFA prosecution ends in a whimper. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

This weekend we witnessed yet another example of hate manifesting into violence in America. I am horrified and outraged by the arson attack on Beth Israel Congregation in Jackson, Mississippi.

This is so insightful and really the ballgame with the Fed argument later this month. Does Roberts view Trump as a *liability* to the long term Republican project, at least w/r/t the Fed.
The Chief’s every move is predicated on his understanding that Republicans created the Roberts Court to rule our country. When he moves a majority against Trump, that’s not moderation. It’s a recognition that Trump’s become a liability Roberts’s project to perpetuate Republican power.

Powell’s statement just considerably shifted the odds that Roberts and Barrett may join the liberals in refusing to give Trump the presumption of regularity over his bad faith firing of Lisa Cook.

The corporate values of Apple & Google could not be clearer. Platforming pro-fascist, misogynist & pedophilic AI slop is now their core business.
Still can't get over how Apple and Google removed the ICE app that alerted people that ICE was in the their community, but won't remove an app that has an AI tool that creates 'nonconsensual sexualized images of women and CHILDREN'
X’s Grok AI tool is being used to generate nonconsensual sexualized images of women and children. This is unacceptable. @wyden.senate.gov, @markey.senate.gov, and I are demanding that Apple and Google remove X and Grok from their app stores until Elon Musk addresses these heinous violations.

A fading minority of Americans attends religious services once a month or more. That number goes down every year. Klein's focus here is a small subset (left) of a subset (Christian) of a minority group (monthly worshippers) whose theological views are essentially meaningless to secular Americans.

you prosecute it, and you make scotus say you can’t. and then you put every democrat on television saying they’re immediately ready to pass a law fixing it and tie it to epstein

Your regular reminder that ~90% of the lawless authoritarianism could end today, simply by these Senators & about 7 other people in Congress caucusing with the Democrats & giving them governing majorities in both chambers until the crimes & fascism stop.
Todd Young has voted YES on the Venezuela war powers resolution; Murkowski, Collins and Paul are a YES. This will have the simple-majority vote needed to pass unless one or more Democrats vote NO.

The seven circuits to resolve the issue - the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 10th, & 11th - all agree that the First Amendment protects the right to record police in public. The 8th, which covers Minnesota, hasn't joined yet but very likely would. My piece at @thedispatchmedia.bsky.social last fall.
