It's a war when it comes to criticizing the president and enabling him to assert wartime powers.
It's merely a "special military operation" (Putin-style) when it comes to Congressional authorization.

What happened today was actually a military coup in the United States in which the military demonstrated that its loyalty is to Donald Trump and not the Constitution.

Scandals and financial irregularities are happening across Republican led governments. What other examples are you aware of. This is happening in FL!
Scandal for DeSantis is brewing as funds meant to pay back FL citizens for over billing on healthcare were diverted to his wife’s charity and ultimately went to create attack PAC ads against 2024 ballot measures that he opposed. Is this legal - no. Will he face accountability? That’s the question.

The Evil 6 are not justices; they are politicians; but politicians with lifetime tenure. I'm guessing the Founding Fathers didn't anticipate such corrupt politicians on the Court, completely unrestrained by passive cowards in the Congress.

The most striking thing here to me is the use of the Trump v US (immunity) decision to justify expanded presidential power in a completely different realm.
That decision will go down in infamy. It has destroyed the legitimacy of the Court and threatens the foundation of Constitutional government.

this is really it — this case isn't about the legitimacy of birthright citizenship or the 14th amendment, it's about the legitimacy of the court, and any ruling that doesn't uphold the former decides the latter
Counterpoint:
The Supreme Court lacks the authority to change the text of the Constitution.
So either it affirms the text or (further, and more completely) nukes its authority as Constitutional arbiter.
There’s no third option. Art III (courts) can’t just usurp Art V (amendments).

In 2024, the Coast Guard conducted more than 250 targeted interceptions in the Caribbean of boats believed to be transporting drugs based on intel. Only 55 were actually transporting drugs; the rest (80%) were innocent.
Trump's policy is to kill them all, including the 80% who are innocent.

Trump is invading American cities to nominally address crime, and I think the scale of his pardon-sprees should be given more political salience
When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not
