Four Supreme Court justices have argued that Donald Trump can change the Constitution with an executive action, BUT JOE BIDEN CAN’T FORGIVE YOUR STUDENT LOAN DEBT.

It’s rigged. Burn it all down.

[Adam Klasfeld @KlasfeldReports]

A shockingly close call on how to read plain English in the first sentence of a constitutional amendment.

Talarico losing white non-college 68-27 and winning rest of the electorate. 🫠

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

It’s important to understand that the Court is now just an arm of the oligarchy.

This decision strips the people of the right to limit the role of money in politics. It gives billionaires special rights to buy our elections. A precondition of oligarchy.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Just shocking this was a 5-4 ruling. This Court is so so badly broken.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

This is just flat-out criminal.

Isn’t it refreshing, Laura. No corruption, and all decency. A champion of democracy and the rule of law. @IngrahamAngle @ossoff

Musk is right that many problems can't be solved just by "throwing money" at them.

But US aid to fight AIDS, child hunger & other global plagues has one of the highest ROIs in government.

The data is clear: cutting this $ means millions will die. The question is how many.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

What this means is that the jury verdict that determined that @realDonaldTrump had sexually abused my friend E. Jean Carroll by penetrating her vagina with his fingers, and therefore had defamed her by denying that he had done so, will stand as a final and conclusive judgment.

The highly respected district judge who tried the case, the Hon. Lewis A. Kaplan, correctly stated multiple times that the jury's finding of sexual abuse under New York law meant that, in common parlance and under the law of most jurisdictions, Donald Trump was found to have raped E. Jean.

So henceforth and forever more, it will be completely accurate—and utterly inactionable under the common and constitutional law of defamation—to state the following fact:

DONALD J. TRUMP IS AN ADJUDICATED RAPIST.

@mattyglesias Yeah buddy, Hillary and Kamala were too “left wing.” 😂 Was the Liz Cheney endorsement the giveaway on that?

@IngrahamAngle Be afraid

The tragedy of Biden's presidency is that it proved no matter how many legislative wins you pile up, no matter how much bipartisanship you engage in, and no matter how good economic data looks, if you don't "play" the role like the media wants, you'll be deemed a failure

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Then Jesus said unto the sick, “you better have insurance.”

Then Jesus said unto the stranger, “are you here legally?”

Then Jesus said unto the hungry, “my taxes better not be paying for these loaves and fishes.”

Then Jesus said unto the poor, “this is your own fault.”

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

Elias's comparison is the one worth sitting with. When Bill Clinton briefly boarded Loretta Lynch's plane on a Phoenix tarmac in 2016 and they talked about grandchildren and golf - no documented request, no documented outcome, a conversation - the media treated it as a scandal that required weeks of coverage. Trump stood at a podium in Pennsylvania, described personally calling a federal prosecutor to investigate an election while his preferred candidate was losing, and the Pennsylvania federal prosecutor was sitting in the audience being publicly thanked. Elias: none of the reporters present found this worthy of a question.

The normalization that allows that to happen is not benign. When the president describes using the federal prosecution apparatus to intervene in a state election and it registers as a moment of rally color rather than a constitutional question, the mechanism that would otherwise produce accountability has been eroded. That erosion is itself the story underneath the story.

On 9/11 itself, Donald Trump was bragging about suddenly having the tallest building in lower Manhattan. Imagine if someone told you Ron that he’d be president twice in the decades ahead - and with your help, even after he smeared you as a possibly secret gay pedophile.

Ossoff: "Last week, when they gathered in Atlanta to remove Black elected officials from office not by defeating them at the polls, but by manipulating maps to dilute minority power, they saw you mobilize, Savannah, and they backed down in fear of your power. A wave is building ... let's make sure they hear it down at Mar-a-Lago, that Georgia will bow to no king!"

[Acyn @Acyn]

Ossoff: A wave is building. The kind of wave that comes once a generation. And people have been pushed too far and they decide all at once, altogether, that enough is enough. We have the power not just to restore checks and balances, but to rebuke these abuses of power with such power and decision that no president dares try anything like this again for a century.
