Bravo to these judges, who are traveling around the country to educate the public about the importance of the rule of law!

The Slaughter case, overturning precedent, returns us to a spoils system where a president can “clean house” every four years, destroying our professional, independent civil service.

Today’s decision in Slaughter will destroy the independence of the Merit Systems Protection Board, which will have a cascading effect on all federal employees, who have been free from political interference for 150 years. The spoils system is back, baby!

Block Blanche because he negotiated self-dealing IRS gift for Trump, fired court appointed US attorneys, bragged about cleaning house of 200 DOJ employees who worked on cases involving Trump & J6, botched the Epstein case, oversaw cases targeting Trump’s perceived enemies, welcomes Trump’s control.

Public servants work for the people, not for the president. This administration has distorted that mission.

It’s so refreshing to see a senator who knows how to ask questions. Too often, witnesses deflect and the senator moves on. Ossoff does what a good trial lawyer does—persists until he gets an answer or a refusal to answer. Both responses can be deeply revealing.

Greetings from Marquette, Michigan, where the air is usually fresh and clear. Wildfire smog is a glimpse of our future, unless we get serious about protecting our climate.

Today’s SCOTUS opinion in Slaughter, allowing POTUS to fire commissioners at will, will harm other agencies, including EEOC, EPA, Consumer Product Safety Board, FCC, FDIC, SEC, Nuclear Safety Board.

Judge dismisses Trump’s suit against Minnesota state and local police for declining to assist ICE’a deportation efforts. Do your own dirty work! Judge was appointed by … Trump.

These reflecting pools “vandals” have a great defense. No causation. You can’t destroy that which is already destroyed.

Went to see the red hot Detroit @Tigers win again last night, and caught a ball. Great night all around! (Didn’t even have to wrestle any toddlers to get it, though I was prepared to do so if necessary.)

Court has found what we knew all along. Blanche’s “settlement” with Trump providing tax immunity was illegal self-dealing. Trump barred from using it and lawyers sanctioned. Great to see a court call out the corruption.

Remember, senators, the most corrupt aspect of Blanche’s “settlement” with Trump was immunity from tax audits. The slush fund for the insurrectionists seemed to be just a decoy. He has walked back the slush fund, but not the immunity!

Focus on whether Blanche has the bare minimum “qualifications” is a head fake. The dealbreaker should be Blanche’s willingness to be Trump’s lawless hatchet man.

Even if there are more facts here than meet the eye, just because a prosecutor can charge someone with a crime does not mean they should. Pirro seems to have made this man a scapegoat just so Trump can blame “vandals” for his own Reflecting Pool blunders.

We already had a deal with Canada, in which it paid to build the bridge and would recoup the tolls until they were made whole. Now Trump is holding up the bridge opening as leverage to coerce more. Mob boss move. No wonder the world hates us.

Senate needs to grill Todd Blanche on slush fund, Epstein files, firing DOJ employees, and targeting Trump rivals, but most important is his vision for AG. Does he plan to follow the rule of law or act as Trump’s puppet? My thoughts in @opinion.bloomberg.com

House referral to DOJ for criminal investigation of Jack Smith is political gamesmanship. In this gift link, I explain why no rational prosecutor would ever charge this case.

Clayton’s answer was disqualifying. After recounts, audits, and lawsuits, there is no evidence to support Trump’s fantasies of a stolen election in 2020. Our intelligence services must be above politics.

Rs are frightened of Mamdani because he is a popular with voters, so they portray him as a scary authoritarian. This is a request, not an order, for the benefit of the community, and there are no consequences for people who are still free to be selfish jerks.

The Reflecting Pool “vandal” is even worse than the sandwich thrower as targets of Pirro’s shameful abuse of prosecutorial discretion.

![SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 24–1260
MICHAEL WATSON, MISSISSIPPI SECRETARY OF
STATE, PETITIONER v. REPUBLICAN NATIONAL
COMMITTEE, ET AL.
ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF
APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
[June 29, 2026]
JUSTICE BARRETT delivered the opinion of the Court.
Three federal statutes set the day for the election of Representatives, Senators, and the President. A Mississippi
law permits the counting of absentee ballots postmarked by
election day but received up to five days later. We must
decide whether the federal election-day statutes preempt
Mississippi’s law. They do not.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreiceaibal7i7bgvgn4bwmy5fr4e7bchtae6zasg3d275irkw2laxxa)
