Mitch McConnell trolled RBG on her death bed by releasing the list of nominees he intended to replace her with. He and Trump did that after she had ask McConnell as a personal favor, to wait until after the 2020 election had passed. I just thought you people should know that.
I’m very glad birthright citizenship has been upheld.
But it is fucking insane that three Supreme Court justices just ruled that the President of the United States can change the Constitution with an executive order. Are you fucking kidding me? These people are hacks.
Breaking: The Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship, striking down President Donald Trump’s executive order.
“Citizenship, then and now, was the right to have rights — to freely participate in our political community.
The framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to ‘every free-born person in this land,” wrote Chief Justice Roberts.
In upholding the right of protesters to display 8647 flag, Judge Moss's 1st sentence cites the DC Circuit's ruling protecting some of Trump's outlandish statements during his DC criminal prosecution.
The REAL LEGACY of Ron DeSantis as he uses these next months to lie about it
🧵 The Ultimate Setup: The Structural and Social Ruins Left Behind
1/ Let’s stop talking about Ron DeSantis’s "victory tour" and start talking about the absolute minefield he is deliberately leaving behind for the next administration. He is walking away with the headlines today, leaving everyday Floridians to take the fall tomorrow.
2/ He brags about a "lean and mean" budget, but he has systematically drained Florida’s financial future. By locking in permanent corporate tax breaks and burning through reserves on over $6 billion in no-bid insider contracts, Alligator Alcatraz , he has narrowed our revenue to a cliff.
3/ When the next governor takes office and faces an immediate deficit, any attempt to fix it will be weaponized.
DeSantis will instantly attack them from his gated enclave for "destroying his legacy," completely hiding the fact that he emptied the vault.
4/ Look at the universal school voucher money pit. By stripping away all income eligibility caps, he committed billions in public tax dollars to fund private tuition for wealthy families. It is a fiscal poison pill already costing taxpayers $5 billion annually.
5/ This program is on an exponential trajectory to bankrupt our public school infrastructure. The next administration is trapped: either let public schools starve, or face a massive political backlash from private lobbyists for trying to rein in the spending.
6/ Then there is the homeowners insurance crisis—one of his most significant campaign revenue streams ( multi millions) the ultimate economic time bomb.
His special sessions did absolutely nothing to cap premiums; they only shielded massive insurance companies from being sued by policyholders while costs shot up to five times the national average.
7/ Beyond the economic wreckage, he has deeply fractured our communities by weaponizing the governor's mansion to wage an endless culture war.
He didn’t govern; he spent eight years systematically stoking division, turning neighbors against each other for national media attention.
8/ This administration normalized hatred by launching relentless political attacks on LGBTQ+ residents, stripping women of basic bodily autonomy with a cruel six-week abortion ban, and labeling anyone who disagreed with him as a radical "leftist."
9/ This is not normal governance. He used the full weight of the state government to bully vulnerable populations, police local classrooms, and silence dissent just to keep himself in power and build a personal brand.
He leaves behind a state that is demonstrably more hostile and deeply divided.
10/ And if a future administration tries to heal these wounds, protect reproductive rights, or restore voting access? He rigged the system to veto them. He packed the Florida Supreme Court with five of its seven sitting justices to act as a permanent judicial blockade against progress.
11/ To every Florida voter and small business owner: don't let the smoke and mirrors fool you.
He didn't build a sustainable state—he just timed the fuse so the economic and social explosion happens after he leaves the building.
We deserve real leadership, not a permanent setup. 🛑
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was caught sneaking out of speaker Mike Johnson’s office.
A Supreme Court justice should not have a private meeting with the speaker of the house.
What were they talking about?
#Attorneys out there: Have you ever heard of a party being deposed FOUR times in the same case?
I sat for a full deposition in 2017, in 2020, and in 2022. The new judge in our case (Federalist Society Cuban-American Angelica Zayas) ruled Miller's attorney can take ANOTHER deposition. This would be the 4th.
Oh he’s definitely stepping down. The Senate may flip to Dems this November so they aren’t going to lose the chance to stack the courts with another Trump appointee before then
Makes me fucking sick
Instead of hitting the campaign trail to court voters in the hotly contested US Senate race in Texas, Republican Ken Paxton is on a trip with his mistress in Iceland.
And to those who think this is "just" a child support trial, that's incorrect. Miller, after seven years of never even asking about William; never seeing him ... has decided he wants custody (why? to avoid child support).
The Trump Administration will be funding one of their goons trying to snatch custody from a mother. So yes, I'm going public.
Ashley Moody didn’t win this seat — she was appointed.
Since taking office, she’s been nothing but a rubber stamp for this administration, even when it hurts our state.
As Senator, I’ll be an independent voice for Floridians, and I’ll always put you first.
