a thought about trump v. slaughter. it is largely unspoken, but the assertion that there is an unlimited presidential removal power and that independent agencies functionally cannot exist is an assertion of presidential sovereignty.

This argument is mired in a bizarre attempt by the right wing Justices to demonstrate how "dangerous" it would be to remake the entire federal government into a group of independent agencies with boards the president can't fire at will - despite the fact that this has never and will never happen, 1/

Almost 100% of Trump's 2019 farmer bailout went to white men.
"non-Hispanic white operators received 99.4 percent of all MFP payments." Nearly all recipients were male.

So the farmers get to keep supporting Trump as he bails them out yet again with OUR tax dollars. They've had 10 years to figure it out & yet they continue to support him even though HE is the reason they need a bailout.
I felt bad for them the first time around, this time I resent the bailout.

Glad he isn't trying to refuse Boasberg's jurisdiction here. And also: I'm not sure that even if he said, "Fuck the court, land the plane," it matters unless Noem uses it as her defense. The issue is that SHE is the one who violated the court's order, not that others may have also wanted to.
In a sworn declaration, Emil Bove says he hasn't been "authorized" to discuss his "privileged" advice to Kristi Noem regarding the El Salvador-bound immigrant flights from March.

Just because the Ukrainian ops the last couple days got everyone all hot and bothered about SF and drone warfare, here’s your reminder:
The three things you’re gonna need in your Army in a conventional war:
-artillery (lots. No, more. Keep going)
-mechanized infantry (bushmaster go brrr)
-logistics to support the artillery and the mechanized infantry
Everything else goes to making those things better

If Democrats in Congress and the President decide to end the Filibuster and pack the Courts there is NOTHING that Conservative justices can do about it. NOTHING! Except for try to undo it through winning elections.
i'm not sure how any of this gets changed if not with a huge popular uprising
this scotus won't back down, and i don't think that they'll just let democrats rebalance it with even two more dem justices, narrowing the minority, much less pack it
decades of constitutional crisis almost guaranteed
