Unbelievable that Supreme Court justices who see forgiving student loans, mandating vaccines, and regulating climate change as a slippery slope toward tyranny were not clear-eyed on questions of whether a president could execute citizens or stage a coup without being prosecuted.

I just feel like this needs to be said once again today: Donald Trump is the only president in American history who lost an election and refused to concede and refused to participate in the peaceful transfer of power. He’s the only one.

Don’t ever forget this.

Not all of us agree that Ford’s pardon of Nixon was a good decision.

Justice Kagan today: “The framers did not put an immunity clause into the Constitution. They knew how to; there were immunity clauses in some state constitutions. They didn’t provide immunity to the president. And, you know — not so surprising — they were reacting against a…

WATCH: Emory University Econ Professor Caroline Fohlin saw a protester on campus being violently arrested, and asked the police 'What are you doing?' — then was violently thrown to the ground and arrested herself.

Sickening.

I keep thinking, if this is how rough cops are when there are multiple giant cameras zoomed in on them, what would they be like without any cameras at all? What HAVE they been like throughout the decades with no cameras at all?

Trump’s camp is trying to find ways to circumvent the Fed if he’s elected again.

There is no part of the government he won’t try to control if we are dumb enough to put him back in power.

Every single revelation about Thomas should have brought a cascade of demands from Dems that he resign in disgrace. Over and over and over.

I am in shock that a lawyer stood in the U.S Supreme Court and said that a president could assassinate his political opponent and it would be immune as 'an official act.'

I am in despair that several Justices seemed to think this answer made perfect sense.

If this was a functioning democracy, we wouldn’t be waiting for 2 justices who took secret gifts from billionaires and 3 others appointed by a criminal to tell us whether it’s OK for the president to murder his rivals.

More news from Europe, today: Macron '[argued] that Europe needs to face crises like Russia's war against Ukraine without relying on the United States. .' This is line with what I have been saying: Trump winning could mean the end of NATO. No boundaries on RU. The EU knows this

Trump immunity case suggests new role for supreme court: kingmaker theguardian.com/law/2024/apr/2…

The fakeness of MAGA perfectly illustrated.

That’s Vish Burra, a member of the NYYRC and former George Santos staffer. He’s a full on MAGA operative.

He’s presented as a union member New Yorker at a union event (in an ‘American Worker’ hat) backing Trump.

Astroturf nonsense.

Trump asked Pecker for an update on 'our girl' with James Comey and Mike Pompeo in the room. Wow! apnews.com/live/trump-tri…

Relatedly, over the last six months or so at Right Wing political events, I have noticed that assassination comes up more and more. Conservative influencers are telling their audience to expect and prepare for violence in 2024.

NEW: At a Jan. 2017 Trump Tower meeting, Trump asked Pecker, 'How's our girl?' referring to Karen McDougal. Pecker said he assured Trump she was 'quiet' and 'fine.' Trump replied, 'I want to thank you for handling the McDougal situation and the doorman situation.'

David Pecker says that, when he received a letter from the Federal Election Commission, he called Michael Cohen and asked him what to do.

Pecker recalled Cohen saying, ''Jeff Sessions is the attorney general, and Donald Trump has him in his pocket.''

I’m not sure yet how disconcerted I am about it, but I otherwise agree with His Honor: This argument was basically an abstract law school seminar about the next ten presidential criminal immunity cases that the Court conceivably might—but probably never will—have to decide.

“The irony of using Trump as the vehicle for enhancing presidential immunity out of a fear of increased instances of political prosecution never came up. But it’s worth remembering that Trump was elected in 2016 on a platform of locking up his political opponent. Throughout his…

Fun fact: this “black New Yorker” is a MAGA Republican who worked for Steve Bannon, Matt Gaetz, and George Santos.
