Apparently in some states big billboards remind you to register-which you can do online-& vote. Imagine that. But Houston really has a problem. I know Stanart was a big part of it but he’s gone. Time to pick up the slack & goooooo.

I should complain to the Missouri State Bar. I have as much standing to do that as he does to file his ridiculous suit. He’s wasting Missourian’s money & time.

If you listened to argument or read an analysis of the underlying decision in Murthy v Missouri, the AG is unconstrained by ethical obligations. He should be censured.

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up.
The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

roberts’ reasoning is fundamentally (lower-case “r”) anti-republican. i know we dunk on the framers here but roberts has issued a rebuke of the revolutionary assumption that concentrated, unaccountable power is a fundamental threat to liberty.

Can't be impeached because presidential impeachment has been a dead letter since parties came into existence.
Can't be disqualified from office.
And can't be prosecuted for crimes committed under color of office.

Not one more minute of defensiveness from the Biden campaign, please. Not one more question answered about age or debates. All day, every day, a referendum on Trump's criminality and assault on the constitutional order, on what he would be like with blank check for his lawlessness.

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.

Kim Davis 2.0. If the Court carves religious exemptions for government employees, you better hope the state actor from whom you need a permit, or a divorce decree, or a protective order, or a driver license, etc. doesn't think people like you are sinners who don't deserve equal treatment.

The GOP is quickly becoming a party defined by issues on which 70% of the population disagrees with them. Dobbs and gun regulation has exposed this, and now same goes for GOPs increasing embrace of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and policies. And yet this race is 50/50. Gift link. wapo.st/3VvKTju

For no reason I’m thinking today about how the guy who hatched the idea to publish Barry Goldwater’s book “Conscience of a Conservative” in 1960 (Leo Reardon) had served as Father Coughlin’s emissary to the Nazi regime in 1939.

DeSantis has arbitrarily removed/replaced more elected Democrats from office than any modern Florida governor as a means of usurping the rights of voters in blue districts. Then they attempt to disguise themselves as Democrats to retain office in low-turnout local elections.

I’m not sure how we reached a place where one of two parties is so extremist it challenges even anodyne requirements like universal background checks. It has to be oligarch money & philosophy because most Americans support that policy.

You never hear Republicans talk about mass shootings with any sense of concern. They don't mention their names
In fact, in January, after a school shooting in Iowa, Trump literally said "get over it."
They'll say you can't blame all gun owners, yet try to smear all immigrants. It is grotesque
