When I started writing about Supreme Court expansion, you couldn’t get the question *asked* in a poll. The first time I saw it actually polled, it was 8%. Now, we here.
Jay Willis@jaywillis.net · 5d agoKind of a buried lede in the results of this Supreme Court approval rating poll from Marquette: Overall support for Supreme Court expansion, which even Democratic politicians were dismissing as "radical" just a few years ago, is now at 53 percent today.marquette.edu/2026/09/marq...

With all due respect, this is precisely what is wrong with the federal courts today. They should not be doing "everything humanly possible to give the government the benefit of the doubt."
Molly Roberts@mollyroberts.bsky.social · yesterday"More than being upset and furious right now, I am just beyond disappointed in the government. I have done everything humanly possible to give the government the benefit of the doubt in this case. I have done it repeatedly. I have done it for months."

Trump hates me personally. Now he’s taking it to the Supreme Court
When I tell people that Donald Trump hates me, they often assume I mean it in a generic sense — that he hates Democrats and people who fight him in court. No, I correct them: he hates me personally.

Dang. This new press secretary can’t even thank Trump for the job without reading it from a script. 🥴 We’re in for another bumpy ride.
Trump can’t lie about this crowd size. I’ve seen bigger crowds at a yard sale in the rain. 🤣
The Trump administration treats corruption like it’s part of the job description. So that’s not why Kimberly Guilfoyle has to go. It’s because she embarrassed Trump. And that’s where he draws the line.
📌If Democrats do not win the Senate, and bring some order to the most corrupt and powerful court in the world, it might very well be the final nail in America’s coffin. This is an incredibly under-reported story. The stakes could not be higher. In fact: It is a national emergency.

Nonviolent protest has been a powerful and effective tool for social change. This is why authoritarians at home and abroad are trying to crack down on free speech and dissent. Because if we lose the right to protest, we stand to lose so much more. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rvafufqH7g

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.
Trump is angrier, more erratic, and more dangerous than ever — and those closest to him know it. How close are we to his own cabinet using the 25th Amendment against him? Here's how it might go down.
I urge you to support Ilhan Omar’s campaign for reelection. If Democrats regain control of the House, they must investigate this flagrant abuse of power against her by Trump, Vance, and the Department of Justice. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-and-vances-islamophobic-target
Can we be honest that so called 'wokeness' meant Black people demanding full social personhood and refusing to be silent about getting murdered/harmed by the state? So yes, that is more threatening to many in this country than is fascism. I think that's been clear.
Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 2d agoIf you only read the opinion journalism in elite media over the last decade, you would have been convinced that wokeness, not fascism, was the greatest threats to American society. Now some of those authors are retconning by trying to relabel fascism as "the woke right." bsky.app/profile/donm...

The raid on Rep. Omar is a FIVE ALARM FIRE. Trump is weaponizing the federal government to go after an opposition leader and escalate his viciously racist campaign against Somali Americans. We stand with Ilhan.
We can’t just move past what SCOTUS has permitted this Administration to do to people who have lived and worked in the U.S. for years and even decades.
