What’s new is the scale and Repiblican tilt of it

About 40% of Republican staffers have gone full Nazi at this point, and the rest (and their bosses) are ok with this. Just making sure their buddies can get military training is all

I’d prefer to toss the klan in the clink

That’s not legal. What’s much more likely is denying permits for onshore infrastructure which would support offshore oil drilling.

And there is no way Schumer wasn’t coordinating this; he held a caucus meeting right beforehand, and the Yea votes were all Democrats who have 4+ years to their next election

Schumer coordinated the Yes vote among Democrats

You also missed King

It wasn’t on the Senate website yet when I posted

Nothing wrong with showing up at their local office in person with a crowd. Ive done that before

Calling Congress tends to result in a report from staff about constituent sentiment. It’s a meaningful thing which can sometimes shift things on the margin — it’s rarely enough on its own.

Hes not your enemy. If you’re a constituent, he is your employee. Give his office a call and let them know how you expect him to perform.

I think a lot of people would be happy to return food to Trump after they’re done digesting it.

This post claims to have an educated guess:

In a world in which Justice Jackson either knew or suspected that at least five of the justices would grant temporary relief to the Trump administration if she didn’t, the way she structured the stay means that she was able to try to control timing of the Supreme Court’s (forthcoming) review—and to create pressure for it to happen faster than it otherwise might have. In other words, it’s a compromise—one with which not everyone will agree

I’m thinking she may also have timed things in a way that results in Democratic-run states, which largely attempted to rush money into peoples’ debit cards after the appeals court ruling, having a month of SNAP, while Republican-runs states, which did not, having some very hungry people.

He actually read one book: an anthology of Hitler’s speeches

Donald Trump appears to take aspects of his German background seriously. John Walter works for the Trump Organization, and when he visits Donald in his office, Ivana told a friend, he clicks his heels and says, “Heil Hitler,” possibly as a family joke.

Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler’s speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.

Billionaire Burgers. Now with actual billionaire meat!

Its all excuses for what he wanted to do to begin with, which is take food out of the mouths of kids so that billionaires can become trillionaires

What congress? The Republicans won’t even let the house meet anymore

Its almost like they need to buy a social media company, major TV network, and video sharing website

They’re talking about talking

He thinks that courts won’t have the support of police to enforce it, or that the Supreme Court will simply refuse to uphold any kind of sanction.

The less far right types used to embrace him in private. That they’re now doing it openly representa a big change in the kinds of policy they’re willing to implement.
