I don’t agree with the latter part of the quoted claim but there is not light between slaveholder moral values and current republican moral values. There has been a common vein kept alive because of the failures of Reconstruction. It’s not edgy to say! It’s just true

there’s a subset of people who, if you point out something bad happening now, will basically reply “it was always like this and anyone who disagrees is just privileged.” it parades as savvy but nine times out of ten it’s just an ahistorical oversimplification.

"they've always been like this" is always a tempting savvy take but it is just not true that Republican staffers were 100 percent open Nazis back in 2004, or hell even 2014. they just weren't

Jeffries: "It's perplexing to us that Rs refuse to spend a dime to protect the healthcare of the American people, but somehow the Trump admin found $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina in ways that are also going to continue to hurt our soybean farmers in Iowa & the Midwest"

By a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court refuses to stay Charles Ray Crawford’s execution, despite overwhelming evidence that his lawyers violated the Sixth Amendment by telling the jury he committed the murder.

In dissent, Sotomayor says the court “abandons its duty.”
www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

The application for stay of execution of sentence of death
presented to JUSTICE ALITO and by him referred to the
Court is denied. The petition for a writ of certiorari is de-
nied.
JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, with whom JUSTICE KAGAN and
JUSTICE JACKSON join, dissenting from the denial of appli-
cation for stay and denial of certiorari.
Charles Ray Crawford will be executed tonight for a
crime that his own lawyers told the jury he committed, de-
spite his express instructions not to do so. Had this case
come to this Court on direct appeal, Crawford could have
proved that his Sixth Amendment rights were violated un-
der our decision in McCoy v. Louisiana, 584 U. S. 414
(2018), in which we held that lawyers may not override a
defendant’s explicit and unequivocal decision not to concede
guilt at trial. He would also likely be entitled to a new trial,
as a McCoy violation is a structural error that mandates
reversal.
Because Crawford’s convictions became final before
McCoy was decided, however, this case raises a threshold
issue that this Court has not squarely resolved: Whether
McCoy applies to cases on collateral review because it
merely applied existing law, or whether McCoy announced
a nonretroactive “new” rule of constitutional law. This
question has divided lower courts. It is also undoubtedly
important, and is even more so in this case because its

President Trump on Wednesday signed a memorandum expanding his administration’s authority to repurpose unspent federal funds to pay members of the military during the government shutdown, escalating his challenge to the authority of Congress on spending matters.

Trump Signs Memo Expanding His Authority to Spend Federal Money

The president gave Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wide authority to repurpose funds to pay members of the military without approval from Congress, which has the sole constitutional authority to decide federal spending.

🚨 The DSCC — led by Kirsten Gillibrand, Mark Kelly, Adam Schiff, and Lisa Blunt Rochester — has formed a joint fundraising committee with Janet Mills.

Mills, running against Graham Platner in the Maine Democratic Senate primary, would become the oldest freshman (79) ever elected, to a 6-year term.
