Judge’s order prohibiting contact between federal agencies and social media platforms ignores the threat of hostile foreign adversaries and criminals online. Requests to remove disinformation is not “censorship.” The Bill of Rights is not a suicide pact. https://t.co/CTIaQbdYHn

Kris Mayes is to 303 Creative as Abraham Lincoln was to Dred Scott: 

Lincoln insisted the Court’s ruling was binding only on the parties before it, Dred Scott and John Sandford.  Its ruling would not become the law of the land under his presidency.

@RonBrownstein it is remarkable how much present-day rhetoric on the right tracks that of segregationists resisting civil rights advances in the 1950s and 1960s. not just the same
arguments, but often the same words

[Jeff Merkley @JeffMerkley]

You know the Supreme Court has a legitimacy problem when they take up fabricated cases just so they can push a political agenda. They never should have taken this case. And they never should have ruled the way they did. Absolutely disgraceful.

[Stuart Stevens @stuartpstevens]

The GOP liked to call Dems victim shoppers. But a woman who doesn’t make wedding sites, has never been asked to make a gay wedding site, suing SCOTUS so she wouldn’t have to make a gay wedding site if she ever decided to make wedding sites, is a new level of victim shopping.

[Tim Hogan 浩勤 @TimInHonolulu]

What if the woke DC beltway restaurants, bars, stores and gas stations put up signs saying they assert their 1st Amendment right to not have to interact with the haters on SCOTUS who along with their details and guests will be issued trespass warnings if they attempt to enter.

[Jen 'now @jenrubin9' Rubin @JRubinBlogger]

if you look at the MEANS by which the court gets its desired result - overturning precedent without applying the stare decisis test, remaking standing and concocting the major questions test it's judicial homicide. It is not acting like a court. It's not doing the judging thing.

I have a religious objection to bigots. Can I now deny them services, too? https://t.co/mN9cLTZO7v

"The unbroken record of federal judges finding that anti-transgender bans on gender-affirming medical care for minors violate, or likely violate, the U.S. Constitution continued Wednesday in a pair of rulings against the laws in Kentucky and Tennessee." https://t.co/BHxDfFAhf0

Inflation is down.
Deficits are down.
Unemployment is down.

The stock market is up.
Jobs are up — 13 MILLION new jobs.
GDP growth is up — higher than any major economy.

Bidenomics is WORKING.

A year since Dobbs and would you look at this. Control. Control. Control.

[Governor Katie Hobbs @GovernorHobbs]

I signed an Executive Order protecting Arizonans’ reproductive freedom. I will not allow extreme and out of touch politicians to get in the way of the fundamental rights of Arizonans. My Executive Order does four things to the full extent of my authority:

[Capitol Media Services 📢 Telling it like it is @azcapmedia]

@stephen_richer sues @KariLake, says she, her campaign, and fundriaising arm made statements about his conduct of 2022 election they knew were false and with "actual malice," the standard a public official needs to meet to win such lawsuits. https://t.co/JsWLyiBzIh

[Billie Jean King @BillieJeanKing]

56 years ago today, the Supreme Court of the U.S. struck down state laws prohibiting interracial marriage.

Today and every June 12, we celebrate #LovingDay, a day of visibility and education.

Thank you to Richard and Mildred Loving for their bravery. https://t.co/oZSjELwyIt

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

People seem puzzled as to why Trump kept the documents. That’s easy. To feel important. To pretend to be the president. And to have something to sell when the other scams failed.

A $5 billion plan to desalinate seawater in Mexico and pipe it to Phoenix is testing the notion that desert cities can keep growing as the Earth warms. https://t.co/6wi366Pu16

[Hugo Lowell @hugolowell]

New via NYT: Chief clerk for Southern District of Florida Angela Noble confirmed that no court practice would return the case to be assigned to another judge. In short, Judge Aileen Cannon’s assignment is permanent unless she were to step aside.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

1/15. Today I read a number of Republican elected representatives assigning themselves the role of judge and jury in the Trump espionage case.
