Democratic leadership should have to deliver all interviews from a spring loaded chair that catapults them into a giant vat of tapioca pudding anytime they say something like this.

Could the NYT be any more sycophantic? Doubtful. So glad to have canceled my subscription last year.

Chuck Schumer has gone long past his expiration date as a politician, even though his term has three years left. I'm confident New Yorkers will award him with retirement in 2028.

The Trump regime is employing masked “federal agents” (who refuse to identify themselves) to kidnap people without due process so they can send them to for-profit concentration camps.

The criminals are the people in the White House, not the residents of the streets surrounding it.

Narratively speaking, the tightest ending to this screenplay is probably the freed J6 protestors storming the White House to demand the release of the Epstein files.

Musk and Drumpf certainly deserve each other. What a clown show!

Reporter: Are you going to deport Elon Musk?

Trump: We'll have to take a look. We might have to put DOGE on Elon. You know what DOGE is? The monster that might have to go back and eat Elon. Wouldn’t that be terrible? He gets a lot of subsidies.

The tragic thing is that tens of millions of Americans could be spared immeasurable pain, suffering, and despair if only there were a literal handful of Republicans with a working soul.

Justice Sotomayor: "No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates. Today, the threat is to birthright citizenship. Tomorrow, a different administration may try to seize firearms from law-abiding citizens or prevent people of certain faiths from gathering to worship."

Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1.bsky.social · Jun 27

Breaking:

In a 6-3 ruling, the conservative justices just ruled that nationwide injunctions likely exceed the authority Congress has given the courts.

In doing so, the Court is narrowing nationwide injunctions that blocked Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship.
