Communications tip: don't say "Project 2025" say "Trump's Project 2025." He's trying to run away from it, tie it to his neck like an anchor by making the words "Project 2025" naturally follow the word "Trump" in people's heads.

Adam Liptak should be fired for this. It's not some sort of minor technical error or a debatable issue. He's simply lying.

"Mounting fears of a rout" I'm sorry this is pure fantasy-land stuff. Most people in the country still hate trump, his unfavorables are always in the mid-fifties. Obviously he could win but he's not threatening to sweep into power with a huge popular mandate, despite the wishes of the NYT

It is becoming clear that some of the Reform UK parliamentary candidates in the UK general election were and are invisible. Some of them cannot be found online, and several of them never even showed up for the result announcement, when candidates (even the silly ones) want to be seen.

It’s amazing the extent to which our billionaire tech bro overlords are just telling us out loud that they are rooting for fascism. Makes me slightly nostalgic for the days when American plutocrats plotted against democracy in secret.

The dirty secret that is rarely discussed is how many wealthy people and nobility in both the UK and the USA were fans of Adolf Hitler in the lead-up to World War II. Charles Lindbergh had plenty of exalted company.

He probably needs a crisis PR specialist, although watching a lot of crash-and-burns by people and corporations over the years, the people who most need crisis PR are always the least likely to think that they need it. Instead they keep digging the hole deeper.

Completely unacceptable.
And let's be direct about who is advising Biden on this terrible decision:
It's the campaign. Jen O'Malley Dillon, and Quentin Fulks, her deputy.
And it likely involves Biden chief political and legal advisors: Anita Dunn and Bob Bauer.

March 23 1933, the Enabling Act becomes law in Germany, giving the chief executive power enforce his own laws without checks and balances. The passing of the Act marked the formal transition from democratic republic to totalitarian dictatorship. 6 months later, it was a 1 party state.

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration at all to say the decision threatens the Republic. I might not have said so in 2015, before I saw how triumphantly lawless and autocratic the President could be, and how so many people would applaud it or at least shrug.

This Originalist™ court has effectively immunized both the president and all federal law enforcement officers from any meaningful accountability. Because if there are two things the Founders cherished, it's the power of a king-like executive and armed agents of the government to act with impunity.

I expected some level of immunity from prosecution for a President's official acts. Frankly, a limited amount of immunity is probably appropriate and consistent with past decisions. But absolute immunity for anything POTUS tells the military to do, no inquiry into motives allowed, is terrifying.

Constitutional Law is going to be a very poor way to understand the current moment. Start reading up on power struggles in authoritarian regimes which will go a long way to understanding why the Supreme Court Gang of Six acts the way it does.

On the subject of gaslighting, one of the current SCOTUS justices ruled for Bush in the 2000 Bush v. Gore case (Thomas) while an additional three (Roberts, Barrett, and Kavanaugh) worked on the Bush team for that case. Just calling balls and strikes, folks, balls and strikes.
