4 decades ago the Federalist Society was created to destroy the fabric of the most successful democratic nation in history. It was a reaction to civil rights and the regulatory system that had built the middle class. They wanted unrequited wealth. They won. Now everybody’s miserable, even them. Yay

Very soon there will be the opportunity to prosecute the capo Stephen Miller. A preemptive pardon will not protect him from state prosecution. Even those who are yelling "deport them all" need to see and hear the courts for him and his reichsmarschalls Noem and Bovino.
Most Americans who voted for Trump did not understand he would do this.

Among all the broken things this disastrous administration does there’s one constant: unchecked, unearned arrogance. It’s all Stephen Miller and JD Vance behind it.

Once upon a time we were promised free and total access to knowledge through a vast bridge to intellectual and commercial treasure troves. Instead we built a revenge machine with no depths too deep.
To summarize. According to Lizza, Nuzzi, in addition to fucking multiple subjects without disclosure:
1) outed a confidential source
2) fed source information to RFK
3) damaged other people’s reputation through anonymous posts on Reddit
4) advised RFK and repeatedly acted on his behalf

this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit

there is no comprehensive list of dangerous criminal undocumented migrants. nor are there many of them in the country at all. “mass deportations” are by definition gonna be almost exclusively peaceful immigrants and sweep up LPRs, people on visas, these are the easy people to locate!
This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Think this is proof that we aren't gonna invade Venezuela. No one publicly pouts more than Petey and this includes Trump.
Setting aside for a second the lunacy and authoritarianism surrounding the Trump/Hegseth threat to court martial Mark Kelly, it is also politically moronic. No military court or jury would uphold this, and you only do Kelly a tremendous favor by making him more popular than ever.

We really do have two different kinds of law now: District Court law (aka the law), and Supreme Court "law" (aka the U.S. House of Lords upholding Trump's personalist regime)
I don’t know what the Supreme Court will do, but I am confident that at the District Court level it is still the case that the Pentagon cannot recall a sitting US Senator to active duty in order to court martial him for something he said. Article 1, Section 6, among other constitutional provisions.
