Fox News went radio silent on Epstein today. Everyone will fall in line. They always do.

Hundreds of people disappeared to CECOT without process would like to have a word.

With no call-in line that I know of, this thread is the best way to find out what is happening in Judge Xinis’s courtroom on the Abrego Garcia case. @annabower.bsky.social is a national treasure.

(I don't really care about soccer at all but if I can upset some 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Patriots 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 on here for 30 hours or so by cheering on a European country, I think it will be pretty funny.) (Plus I hate corruption.) Go Belgium! 🇧🇪

If you want to know how Trumpists can hoot and cackle over their side “winning” based on corruption, just look at the universal smirking of Americans over the FIFA decision. Go Belgium!

I will now be cheering against the United States in the next World Cup game it plays.

Patriotism feels nice. Saying patriotic things makes you feel good. Much about this country is great. But people who tell you to forget about Trump this weekend are wrong. He has exposed major flaws in our constitutional system, and has revealed the electorate as unserious. /1

Old and busted: there will be at least one vote and very possibly two for the crank position, but that’s it New hotness: there are three votes for the crank position

If it were a trolley problem it would be a no-brainer

If Trump announced that actually, the equity stake that the government took in Intel and the revenue sharing deal the government has with NVIDIA will both now revert to him or his sons personally, would anyone be that surprised? Would anyone stop him?

The next president should refuse to turn over the Qatari jet to Donald Trump. He should ensure that the United States retains possession of it, as surrendering it to Trump would be an unconstitutional emolument. Let Trump sue.

My prediction, which is worth what you paid for it: Cook and Slaughter both come out on the penultimate opinion announcement day; TPS and birthright citizenship both come out on the final opinion announcement day. Roberts’s plan: to show on each day that Trump wins 1, loses 1.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social Fella on the plane took off his shoes. We could smell his feet even from several seats away. I asked him politely if he would put his shoes on. He said he it was for comfort and asked what the problem was. I explained, nicely, and he said "fair enough" and put them back on!
