Telltale: “taking Roe off the table clears the way for other agenda items.” Really? “Agenda”? “Agenda items”? Since when are courts supposed to have — or care about — “agenda items”? Once again, the quiet part is said out loud. https://t.co/1i2vTeqTWU

Pieces of shit
I despise this little asshole:
Smuggling is smuggling. Mode of transportation isn't relevant. Even if it's in plain view of the world. For some reason, these folks think if they do the criming out in the open, we're ok with it. Nope. It's still illegal and there should be consequences.https://t.co/8sqrvW2m2W

BREAKING: We just filed an official plea with the DOJ to prosecute Abbott and DeSantis for violating Section 274(a)(1)(A)(ii) of the Immigration and Nationality Act which makes it a federal crime to transport undocumented persons across state lines. 🧵

The Kennedy White House received mail from leaders in the targeted states, asking the federal government to intervene in the “cruel merciless hoax” and “their traffic in human lives and misery.”https://t.co/MORNrZoqmW pic.twitter.com/HZy0CJl3OO

Dave Pepper explains it all
🚨 🚨
NEW WHITEBOARD
Why are things careening out of control, into extremism and indefensibly bad public outcomes, in state after state?
It’s all about the warped incentives that arise from rigged districts that eliminate accountability
Here’s a simple analogy

I heart Sen. Whitehouse
He just never gives up!
And if not, doesn’t that belie the theory that the Court can clean up its own messes? And if it can’t, doesn’t that prove the need for Congress to step in?

Don’t like that? How about an independent review? Chief judges of the eleven Circuits form an ethics panel with power to hear complaints, investigate and make public findings and recommendations.

There are lots of options for finally restoring integrity at the Court but this much is undeniable: the Court’s ethics omerta is both wrong and unsustainable.

Bo-Bo the clown
Since Lauren Boebert has no ability to answer substantive questions about policy, her debate strategy last night was just to repeat “Nancy Pelosi’s con game” as the answer to every question. Here is a sample of them put together. pic.twitter.com/AUGUkMGhMi

All of a sudden, not so concerned about the unborn
I don’t think people need to see it on their website to know Republicans are the ones taking our rights away:
GOP ABORTION LANGUAGE SCRUB: Blake Masters removed language that said, "I am 100% pro-life.” House candidates Tom Barrett of Michigan, Christian Castelli in North Carolina and Barbara Kirkmeyer in Colorado removed similar language from their websites. https://t.co/WlmpJpI4aY

Greatest hits for the violent right
Trump just shared an article comparing the FBI to the "gestapo" while citing Ruby Ridge. That was a key radicalizing event for Tim McVeigh. Worse, Trump and his propagandists are now using similar martyrdom tropes. That's ominous. I discussed this with historian Nicole Hemmer: https://t.co/yamFrGXxSd

Look for more of this
It would be one thing if he said he’d changed his mind, but being a Republican, he has to lie about it. Because of course if he won, he’d turn right around again:
In Arizona, Blake Masters backtracks on abortion, scrubs campaign website
"I am 100% pro-life," Masters' website read as of Thursday morning.
That language is now gone.

A few months ago, Blake Masters’ website said that as Senator he would only vote for judges who would overturn Griswold, revoking the constitutional rights of couples to use contraception to determine when they’re going to have a baby. https://t.co/1MPxxBDsAw
