The Bowman story is a good cautionary tale not to jump to conclusions. The first wave of stories, amplified on Twitter, said that he pulled a fire alarm in the Capitol to delay the vote. It is now clear it was in the Cannon Bldg. That would’ve had no impact on the vote. 1/

Ignore the Washington Post - ABC poll. It’s a ridiculous outlier (Trump up 10 over Biden—laughable). My question: How could you even publish a poll so absurd on its face? Will be a lingering embarrassment for you.

Oy. Trump says the Capitol Police testified against Nancy Pelosi, and then burned all the evidence. Lie upon lie upon lie. Unchallenged by Welker. Every word out of his mouth is a lie, and he talks over any questioner. Just a colossal mistake to showcase this sociopath.

There is no reason a special housing unit can't be designated or built at an existing federal correctional institution that would be secure, safe & meet the Secret Service's needs.

Prediction: Jack Smith evidence, or what we see of it in his indictment, will be much stronger than people are anticipating. GOP presidential contender who continue to shill for Trump will be forced to do an about face, perhaps not immediately, but it's coming.

NEW: No. 3 House Republican Elise Stefanik raised $𝟯 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 last quarter. She’s already said that part of her fundraising war chest will go toward flipping my seat.

We can’t play defense, we need to respond now. Please pitch in now to help us hold this seat.

Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.

The Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act ten years ago on the belief that race-based voter suppression wouldn't happen. They were dead wrong.

Now they've gutted race-based admissions on the belief racism doesn't keep minorities from succeeding in society. Dead wrong again.

Just a casual reminder that in 1869 it was decided to have 9 Supreme Court justices because there were 9 Circuit Courts.

Now there are 13 Circuit Courts. So what exactly are we waiting for?

The affirmative action ruling is especially galling given all the reports of preferential treatment received by certain justices when it comes to secret fishing trips and private planes financed by billionaires.

Wow… more from Justice Jackson:

“With let-them-eat-cake obliviousness, today, the majority pulls the ripcord and announces 'colorblindness for all' by legal fiat. But deeming race irrelevant in law does not make it so in life.”

From the Sotomayor dissent, joined by Kagan and Jackson:
 
“Lost arguments are not grounds to overrule a case. When proponents of those arguments, greater now in number on the Court, return to fight old battles anew, it betrays an unrestrained disregard for precedent. It fosters…
