In 2016, Hillary Clinton gave a speech in Wisconsin about the importance of the Supreme Court.

She warned that 2016 was "make or break" for the court—and the country.

National media—focused on her emails and Trump's antics—barely covered the speech.

By delaying Trump's Jan 6 trial, the Supreme Court's far-right justices have effectively become Trump campaign surrogates.

Olivia Colman's eyes project humanity and kindness in a way that can't be acted. I like her very much, and I hope that one day she will be my friend.

He’s always hoarse nowadays. Something happened to him early in his governorship. It’s something I think when people bring him up for president.

Do you know any ten-year-olds? Go look at them. They were born before gay Americans could have their marriages federally recognized. Today is the 9th anniversary of Obergefell. It is that new, it is that fragile, and if the Democrats lose power, it could go away in a blink. Please vote accordingly.

This is pretty explicit articulation of what a Trump victory means for UA. Essentially the US will condition support to UA on "peace talks" at current lines. That'll be super easy for R to game out, with the tl;dr being if UA does not surrender, it will be abandoned. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

“Obama could have” how, exactly? He never had enough pro-codification votes in the 111th Congress even during the brief window that he had a filibuster-proof majority. I suspect you of being one of those people who think presidents can do anything if they really want to.

If Biden loses in Nov, well, that’s a disaster for everybody, but not especially for Joe Biden, he’ll be okay (unless revenge indictments start flying) but if Trump loses, that’s 100% absolutely a massive catastrophic personal tragedy for him, and I really hope you all join me in making that happen

Right. We thought Roe was settled law. Believe it or not, before about 2010, one felt fairly secure that the Court wouldn’t reverse itself to take away rights.

Obama didn’t because even the Dems in Congress were more conservative on choice than they are today, and never passed a bill for him to sign. It was also generally believed that Roe was settled law. There’s nothing in anything Biden has said or done to suggest he wouldn’t sign a bill codifying Roe.

Still vote Dem. Either Biden or Trump will be president next year, and Biden can only codify Roe with a Dem Congress’s help. Easy choice.

By withholding a ruling on Trump v. United States, the Supreme Court's far-right justices are effectively giving Trump the immunity he's seeking, making it all but impossible for him to face trial before the election for his efforts to overturn the election and his role in Jan 6.

I can't believe I even have to say this, but it is not normal that the Supreme Court is taking its sweet time to decide if a former president is immune from prosecution for inciting an insurrection to overturn an election. This should have been decided already. The answer is no!

Russia surprised Ukraine with a new northern offensive, gained some land, but couldn't achieve anything like breakthrough and exploitation. Russia has a lot of bodies to throw, but military problems evident at the start remain. So Russia terrorizes Ukrainian civilians (and hopes for a Trump win).
