@politico Never doubt that a single washed-up comedian making lazily racist jokes can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

@mehdirhasan Kamala in the lead, yet Dems are already bickering over who to blame if she loses. Meanwhile, Trump leads a coup, farts on stage to YMCA, engineered the most unpopular SCOTUS decision in a generation, names a billionaire’s creepy toady as VP, and Republicans are like, “no notes!”

@JohnFetterman @JohnFetterman I feel better represented by the NYT than by you and other elected officials telling me to ignore my lying eyes.

When I see unleaded paint or un-asbestosed homes, I froth at the mouth and start stomping up and down like Rumpelstiltskin. https://t.co/5OgDR7T8X7

[Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings]

Senate Republicans at this very moment are blocking a bill that will allow women to travel to another state for a safe, legal abortion. This is not freedom, this is control.

The first rule of politics is to treat your base with utter contempt. Everyone knows this.

If trained police officers weren’t prepared to engage, what’s the argument for arming kindergarten teachers?

I don't think I've ever been angrier about a footnote.

Context: this is in a SCOTUS decision holding that a state prisoner on death row can be executed because of his appellate counsel's negligence, because district courts CANNOT "forgive" the forfeiture due to that negligence.

🚨 #SCOTUS BREAKING NEWS: The U.S. Supreme Court has endorsed Texas's bounty hunting scheme in a case challenging Texas's abortion ban, #SB8.

[Cristian Farias @cristianafarias]

The SB8 ruling is bad. The loss for DOJ's attempt to challenge SB8 is bad. And the headlines suggesting abortion providers may proceed in litigation are also bad or incomplete.

The practical reality: There's no right to end a pregnancy in Texas, and #SCOTUS is fine with that.

[Eddie Vale @evale72]

Remember when a lot of people (esp women) were told they were being hysterical to say that Kavanaugh & Barrett wanted to overturn Roe??

[Steven Mazie @stevenmazie]

🔥Sotomayor: Will the Court survive "the stench that this creates in the public perception that the Constitution and its reading are just political acts?"

Goober the Clown
(who had an abortion when she was 23)

[Lyle Denniston @lylden]

Hereafter, no law school course on civil procedure, appellate advocacy, or federal courts will be complete without a playing of audio of SCt argument today by the ACLU's Alexa Kolbi-Molinas. Absolutely spectacular performance!!!

Perspective | Even people who oppose abortion should fear Texas’s new ban https://t.co/C1wiF9qq7O

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

How come @BetoORourke and @AOC work to raise money for struggling Texans, many of whom didn't vote for Beto and think AOC is a she-witch, doesn't count as a UNITY story?

How come the media isn't spinning it that way? How come "unity" can only mean "giving the GOP what it wants"?

[Ruth Ben-Ghiat @ruthbenghiat]

Historian of coups and right-wing authoritarians here. If there are not severe consequences for every lawmaker & Trump govt official who backed this, every member of the Capitol Police who collaborated with them, this "strategy of disruption" will escalate in 2021
