How pathetic is Sen. Thom Tillis? Tillis: Because of my deep respect for the survivors, I won’t vote for Blanche unless he meets with them. The survivors: Well, we had a meeting and Blanche was totally unhelpful, dismissive, and disrespectful, Tillis: I’m good.

The entire Uruguay World Cup team got pulled up on the side of the road and investigated by immigration. Sniffer dogs, luggage ripped open. Trump America is a global embarrassment.

Fun trick that Republican presidents can act like dictators because “unitary executive theory” but Democratic presidents aren’t able to govern because “major questions doctrine”. It’s almost like those are fake things fabricated to weaponize a Republican SCOTUS majority!

“Unitary Executive Theory” is a John Roberts Power Play to Aggrandize Presidential Power at Our Expense

This Made-Up Theory Has Expanded Presidential Power in Ways that Have Already Allowed Donald Trump to Commandeer America and our Economy

Frankel to Rubio: "It is crazy that you want to let people in from South Africa because they can assimilate, while you're throwing out hundreds of thousands of people who have already assimilated and that are important parts of our economy and family life."

“I’ve been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment” is a great joke. I’d love to see Talarico swap out the punchline each time he tells it. “…since before Ken Paxton cheated on his wife” “…since before Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party” There are hundreds of options.

Now it looks like, in the absence of any decent entertainment, the 💩🤡 will hold one of his stupid rallies in DC for the country’s 250th Anniversary! 🤦🏼‍♂️ Oh well. It was always all about HIM anyway! 😒 #EverythingTrumpTouchesDies www.huffpost.com/entry/live-u...

Just imagine the line-up in DC if Kamala Harris and Tim Walz were in the White House and in charge of the #America250 events! Instead, the grifter in chief had to “do it his way”, scrape the money, politicize it and, as always, fvck everything up! 1/2 youtu.be/bjU5wTFY1Jg?...

"Until we strip the Roberts Court of the power to restrict our voting rights and to unleash the scourge of billionaire dark money in our elections, we will not be able to secure our freedoms–or our destiny as a thriving democracy grounded on liberty and justice for all." @thelisagraves.bsky.social

Stop Calling John Roberts “Conservative” While He Recklessly Wrecks Our Greatest Historical Gains

We Have to Reform this Out of Control Court and Remember Our Power to Limit Its Reach in Order to Restore and Expand Our Rights

I much preferred the Framers' system of checks and balances, I have to say, to the Roberts system of "hol' up, let this dipstick cook." (* The latter is also known as the 'Unitary Executive Theory,' more clinically.)

CNN: The DOJ has launched a new criminal investigation into one of Trump's enemies, E. Jean Carroll. The source is telling CNN that the investigation now is focused on whether she committed perjury during her two civil lawsuits against the president.

"In the weeks since Callais, this faction of partisan political operatives on the nation’s highest court has repeatedly put its thumb on the scales of justice–over and over and over again," writes @thelisagraves.bsky.social for COURIER's Grave Injustice.

Jim Acosta just trashed Fox News personality Greg Gutfeld for gloating over a photo of the staff of Colbert Show - dozens of people. "You are celebrating the fact that all of these people are losing their jobs. All because your dear leader can’t take a joke. Seriously, wtf is wrong with you,"...

Khanna: "This is a Dred Scott court. They have engaged in the fastest rollback of Black political rights since Rutherford Hayes ended Reconstruction in 1877. One-third of African American seats are threatened. We are not speaking up strongly enough against a court that's rolling back civil rights"

We missed @lincolnsbible.bsky.social (hope she is feeling better soon), but it was great to hear from the brilliant, witty, informative, and fellow Roberts basher @thelisagraves.bsky.social !! Thank you for another great episode, Greg. If you missed it: do yourselves a favor and watch the replay.

LB was a late scratch, so it was me and @thelisagraves.bsky.social tonight. Great to catch up with her! We talked Cuba, Colbert, Roberts Court, and more! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rHJ...

There is so much poetry in Stephen Colbert celebrating his finale on the exact stage where the Beatles changed culture in 1964. Singing "Hello Goodbye" surrounded by his family, his band, and his crew before Paul McCartney flipped the final power switch. This was the perfect full-circle goodbye!
