Blue dot in a former swing state, Ohio. Grandma to 6 boys, 1 girl. Firmly anti-Trump, the orange douchebag. Hoping things do not get any worse but aware it may need to get worse before it gets better for America.

This devastating Substack post by Georgetown Law Professor @stevevladeck.bsky.social ought to cause Samuel Alito discomfort whenever he sees the word “Justice” in front of his name. He doesn’t deserve what that honorific implies.
Today’s “One First” takes a (very) deep dive into Justice Alito’s Saturday night dissent in the A.A.R.P. Alien Enemy Act case—and how it attempts to invent a series of procedural objections to the majority’s intervention that … simply don’t exist:

145. Justice Alito's Misbegotten Dissent in A.A.R.P.
Justice Alito's after-the-fact opinion dissenting from the Court's early-Saturday-morning Alien Enemy Act ruling rests on a revealing array of misrepresentations, misstatements, and non-sequiturs.

Just incredible that a sitting Senator can say something like this with every expectation that such comments will not be grounds for bipartisan calls for his immediate resignation or removal from office.
Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs chair Sen. Ron Johnson says that 9/11 was a "controlled demolition" and there has been a "cover up" of massive amounts of evidence, many "questions" need to be answered:
jeez louise -- Sen. Ron Johnson and Benny Johnson suggest 9/11 was an inside job and Johnson says he wants to hold hearings

#TrumpCrash hit a historic mark.
It is only the fourth time in history that the DOW has lost 2,000 points in a single day - and that follows a huge drop yesterday, too.
The DOW is down nearly 4,000 since the #TrumpTariffs were announced on Weds night. #Trumponomics

Booker: Strom Thurmond’s record always kind of just really irked me. That the longest speech on our great Senate floor was from someone who was trying to stop people like me from being in the Senate. So to surpass that became more important to me.

I didn't have much faith in Florida to save our country but that's why I moved away from there...
Florida wouldn't save themselves if their crotch was on fire and they had a glass of water... and I really mean that...
