Refreshing to have a court look at the facts. Who would have thought facts matter.

#BREAKING The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refuses to undo an order blocking deployment of National Guard troops within Illinois.

"We conclude that the district court's factual findings … were not clearly erroneous, and that the facts do not justify the President's actions in Illinois."

Obviously a lot of these judges are aware of this fact.

The ones that are not kissing the ring, or the ass as the case may be.

TRUMP LIES.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 8h

After racist texts among members of the New York State Young Republicans were made public, the party’s state leaders were slated to meet Friday and vote to disband the group, people familiar with the matter said.

Karoline Leavitt is a complete disgrace.

Her violent and unhinged rhetoric is going to get someone killed.

These extremists are sick people.

This is the result of John Roberts deciding he knows more than Trump and that he alone can fix it all!

Senator Patty Murray @murray.senate.gov · 11h

Where on earth does the Trump administration get off talking about half of the country this way? What a sick way to talk about the political opposition.

Democrat, Republican, whatever—we are ALL Americans.

We need to show Trump what WE think with our voices and our votes.

Andrew Weinstein @andrewjweinstein.com · 14h

By rebranding genocidal rhetoric and violent misogyny as “edgy jokes,” JD Vance provides a permission structure for extremism. And he’s signaling to the next generation of Republican leaders that this language is not a career-ender but an acceptable way to signal loyalty to the MAGA base.

The Bulwark @thebulwark.com · 1d

Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

I find it abominable that six Roberts court justices love Trump so much that they will do anything for him at the expense of 249-years of American history.

Thank you! A lot more Jews should be speaking out. Christian nationalists will impose a religious test for any job if we let them. I am so disappointed that so few Jews are speaking out.

Agree entirely. This is the type of crap that festers and a huge reason turnout is low. Talk, talk, talk…until we are sick of it.

California will start producing and selling its own supply of low-cost insulin in January.

The suggested price for consumers will be no more than $55 for a pack of five pens.

Currently even generic insulin typically costs about $260 for a pack of five.

Delivery of the state-branded drug makes good on a longstanding promise by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Well, he said he was going to do it. It’s quite upsetting to many that Trump and Project 2025 told us what they would do at least 2-years ago and democrats were not even minimally prepared.

Considering that only ~33% of the population holds a college degree what does this poll really tell us? I bet the same people polled for this “study” would say that distrust of doctors, economists, politicians, judges, juries, grocery baggers, and squirrels are rising.

Robert Kelchen @robertkelchen.com · 1d

Well, this isn't good. But it's not surprising to see distrust of higher education rising across the ideological spectrum given the daily beatings that the industry is absorbing.

Growing share of Americans say the U.S. higher education system is headed in the wrong direction

In both parties, the share that say the higher education system is going in the wrong direction has gone up by at least 10 percentage points since 2020.

I predict the Roberts court will leave the Trump tariffs in place arguing it’s the role of Congress to take back their authority on such a matter.
