Even though Solicitor General Sauer has been raked over the coals, it’s hard to see who the fifth vote is to deny the government’s applications here.
I didn’t hear *any* real skepticism from the Chief Justice or Justice Kavanaugh, and we already know where Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch stand.
Sigh.
This will be an illegitimate ruling. Judges and Democrats need to stop following illegitimate rulings. Acquiescing to this is to allow them to rewrite the words of the Constitution by judge.
Why are both the Article I branch of government and the Article III branch of government hell-bent on committing institutional suicide?
The authors of the Federalist Papers didn't see this one coming.
Turns out the 'iron' in 'the iron law of institutions' is malleable
Justice Jackson nails where we are right now:
“Your argument turns our justice system into a catch me if you can kind of regime from the standpoint of the Executive where everybody has to have a lawyer and file a lawsuit in order for the government to stop violating people’s rights.”

If ICE is doing the right thing, WHY are they covering their faces, their names, their badge numbers ??? WHY ???
Sotomayor and Kagan are just ripping Sauer apart.
Alito is such a joke of a person.
Justice Department official Ed Martin, whose nomination to serve as U.S. attorney in D.C. stalled in the Senate, said that he is under investigation by an ethics office that handles attorney discipline in Washington, D.C.

This morning, the Supreme Court hears a landmark case on Birthright Citizenship.
At stake? The 14th Amendment. The right to citizenship by birth.
Pay attention. History is being made, right now.
Thrilled to learn from DOJ's argument that the 14th Amendment applied to the "children of former slaves, not illegal immigrants, who didn't exist as a class yet" that modern firearms are not protected by the Second Amendment!
We should stop and ask how *Gary Lineker* saying “massive violence deliberately directed against civilians is bad” came to be the very outermost edge of barely permissible political speech. Does something like that happen accidentally, in a country where almost everyone agrees?
The Supreme Court probably should have thought a bit deeper about this immunity thing

Fuck the Missouri GOP.
Putin is too much of a coward to meet face to face with Zelensky to talk peace, so he will instead send thousands more of his country’s young men to die for absolutely no reason, and Trump will continue to lie and tell us how much warmonger mass-murderer Putin really wants peace.
Justice Souter taught his law clerks and all whom he encountered “the most important lesson a young lawyer can be taught: the value of caring for others, the wisdom in slowing down to get the law right, and the incredible power when those two forces are combined.”

Bruce Springsteen sounded off about the Trump Administration Wednesday night, calling it ‘corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous.'

The GOP is stepping in it again— cutting Medicaid hurts millions of Americans from all walks of life.
@katiephang.bsky.socialI see and hear loads of “realistic” Dems say history shows a woman can’t win as president. It is pure misogynist bullshit. Two women have run. The first one the popular vote comfortably and just barely lost the electoral vote. And she was a candidate with a bunch of baggage.

House leadership is working to push through a budget that would gut essential services like Medicaid, taking away care for MILLIONS of children and families to give tax breaks to the rich.
This budget is a worker’s nightmare and a greedy billionaire’s dream.

Mahatma Gandhi,
the 7 things that
will destroy us:
"Politics w/o principle;
Pleasure w/o conscience;
Wealth w/o work;
Knowledge w/o character;
Business w/o morality;
Science w/o humanity; &
Worship w/o sacrifice."
That dark result
sounds a lot like
Trumpism, to me.
What a PAB.
He threatened Putin with sanctions if he didn’t sign the ceasefire. He didn’t, Trump did nothing.
Then he threatened sanctions again and Putin blew off peace talks in Turkey.
And all this weak loser has to say about it is this complete load of bullshit. Trump is Putin’s bitch.
Sean Duffy putting his wife on a flight from La Guardia instead of Newark, and then bragging about it on some right-wing podcast, is peak Trumpism. It's the "fuck you I've got mine" mentality combined with the sure knowledge that there will never be consequences for political stupidity.

TeleMessage, the company behind the modified Signal client used by Trump admin officials, has been breached.

TeleMessage has wiped their website. (All links on the page are dead ends)
Multiple gov agencies including State Dept and CDC have active contracts with the company.
There is no such thing as a backdoor only for the "good guys"
You can't have it both ways - either messages are truly E2EE or they're not.
Thanks 404media for this awesome reporting as usual:

The Signal Clone the Trump Admin Uses Was Hacked
TeleMessage, a company that makes a modified version of Signal that archives messages for government agencies, was hacked.
As expected, coward Putin didn't dare to go to Turkey to face Zelensky.
Trump urged Zelensky to go. He did, but Trump's favorite Putin did not.
If Trump does not CONDEMN Putin now, we know that he is in Putin's pocket.
Time for the West to impose devastating sanctions on Russia.
