“The three most important days in American history since the Civil War have been: Dec 7, 1941. Sept. 11. And Jan. 6. We don’t use years for the last two. They aren’t dates on a calendar; they are scar tissue.” Spot on, Rep. Swalwell. Eric hits this one on the nose.

Opinion | I gaveled in Congress on Jan. 6. We can never stop looking back at what happened.
Rep. Eric Swalwell: By claiming that Jan. 6 was “a day of love,” Trump is attempting to gaslight our nation on an industrial scale.

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct?
Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

Trump is asking Scotus for unchecked power to purge “independent” regulators at will. If he wins, the FTC, FEC, FCC, NLRB all become partisan weapons he can bend to his will. This is a direct attack on the guardrails that keep presidents from ruling by decree.

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.
KARL: Did you know about the judge's order when you issued your order for the planes to continue?
KRISTI NOEM: This is an activist judge. We comply with all federal orders that are lawful and binding.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.
