Trump: "One of the things I talked to [Putin] about was, 'Where would you want to meet?' And he said, 'Ideally in Moscow.' I said, 'You're not going to meet in Moscow.'…Would you go to Moscow?"

Zelensky: "It's difficult. There are a lot of Ukrainian drones there."

Magyar has spent the last few days meeting with Orbanistas who lied about him and his family incessantly, blocked him from addressing the nation, and did their utmost to keep him from winning a fair election. From Hungary's president -- who must invite Magyar to form a government before resigning -- to this state TV presenter, he's met them to say: "Hello, here's why you're out of job. Goodbye." Breathtaking.

Paul Ehrlich was genuinely one of the worst people of the 20th century. Everything he stood for was wrong; everything he advocated for was evil. https://t.co/9ZG35dSYOK

Gorsuch to Kagan, Sotomayor, Jackson: In every Biden executive order case, you voted to uphold what the President did. However vague the statute, however unprecedented the action, however attenuated the causation, you voted yes. So why are you in the majority with me in this case? Why?

Gorsuch to Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh: In every Biden executive order case, you voted to strike down what the President did. You said vague statutes, unprecedented actions, attenuated causation, that those are all fatal. So why are you in the dissent in this case? Why?

[Foster @foster_type]

Agree with many others here that the most interesting thing going on in this case is Gorsuch's Corleone-settling of all family business on the Major Questions Doctrine. His knifing of half the majority he voted with, to say nothing of the dissents on the Right, will be what gets cited from this case by posterity.

How is Medicare for All working in Canada, you ask?

🇨🇦: No surgeon available for your parathyroid surgery, but good news, you have been approved to be euthanized.

CORRECT.

I no longer have any patience for single-payer dogmatism that insists Canadians must receive inferior health care because it’s the “Canadian way.” Empty egalitarianism is causing unnecessary pain, suffering and deaths. It’s madness.

Interesting reference to Ontario’s recent advertising campaign by Justice Sonia Sotomayor during oral arguments at the US Supreme Court today. Increasingly, it’s clear that the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize Trump’s tariffs. #onpoli #cdnpoli

Gee, and I thought Trump didn't like criminal foreigners coming to America.

One reason, I suspect, that younger people are cynical about democracy and open to "socialism" is that they did not grow up with the USSR, Mao, & Pol Pot & don't learn about them in school. "Totalitarian Studies are Sorely Needed" https://t.co/ztbuXBb47U

What are we even doing anymore.

Ford should recall the legislature and reenact the law in 24 hours with the notwithstanding clause and the minute it gets Royal Assent, he should take a jackhammer to the closest lane himself. You can just do things.
