Donald Trump stood on a lawn at his golf course in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, today, speaking to mainstream and right-wing media, and made a long shot pitch for votes in the state while also bashing it as a poorly run hellscape.
“It’s very sad when I have to stand out here on my property and see how bad California is,” said Trump, with the sweeping view of the Pacific as a backdrop.
Trump, though, claimed that if he is elected president, the state’s problems would be solved — everything from migration to taxes to wildfires to water.
“You’re going to have water like you never thought,” Trump said, before turning to the mayor of Rpv and noting, “Now, in your case, maybe you don’t want too much.” The city is struggling with massive landslide issues that now threaten hundreds of homes.

Leonard Leo, best known as the architect of the Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority, is not happy about President Joe Biden belatedly proposing reforms to rein in an increasingly lawless, right-wing policy factory.

Donald Trump said Sunday that letting states craft their own abortion bans — thanks to a ruling by his conservative Supreme Court appointees — is “going to work out incredibly well.”
As of Monday, abortion is now almost entirely banned in 18 states, now that Iowa’s six-week ban on abortions took effect, all but totally cutting off access to the procedure in the state.
The ban, which originally passed in 2023, was approved by the Iowa legislature amid large protests. The legislation bans the termination of a pregnancy after the detection of a “detectable fetal heartbeat,...

President Joe Biden is speaking out following a landmark Supreme Court decision that says former president Donald Trump may claim immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts done during his time in office.
Biden decried the decision in a speech on Monday and warned about its repercussions on our system of government, calling it “a dangerous precedent, because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law.” Biden added that the decision made it “highly, highly unlikely” that Trump will stand trial for election interference before the next presidential election, which is “a terrible disservice to the people of this nation.

Former White House aide Steve Bannon has reported to prison to start his four-month sentence for defying a congressional subpoena.
In July 2022, Bannon was found guilty of two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to give documents to the House Select Committee on the U.S. Capitol riots after he was subpoenaed.
He received a sentence in October 2022 to four months in prison.
In early June, federal Judge Carl Nichols ordered him to report to the federal correctional institution in Danbury, Connecticut, which holds violent criminals, by July 1 to serve his four-month sentence.
He began his sentence on July 1, three days after Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts rejected his attempt to remain free while he appealed his conviction.
Bannon arrived at the Danbury prison and talked with reporters and a cheering audience of supporters, during which he labeled himself as a “political prisoner.”

The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that Donald Trump had immunity from prosecution for his official acts, dealing a blow to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s election conspiracy case against the former president.
The 6-3 decision, with the court’s liberals dissenting, makes it all the more likely that Trump’s D.C. federal criminal case will be delayed until after the 2024 presidential election.
“The President enjoys no immunity for his unofficial acts, and not everything the President does is official,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion. “The President is not above the law. But Congress may not criminalize the President’s conduct in carrying out the responsibilities of the Executive Branch under the Constitution. And the system of separated powers designed by the Framers has always demanded an energetic, independent Executive.

The ability of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to regulate matters concerning broadcast television, wireless phone service, the Internet and other conveniences of modern life hangs in the balance after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a ruling that federal agencies used to limit judicial challenges of its power.
On Friday, the Supreme Court found that the 1984 court case Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council improperly allowed federal agencies to craft new regulations by interpreting certain laws as they see fit.
The case, known as the “Chevron doctrine,” has been used by federal regulators like the FCC as an affirmative defense when facing legal challenges brought over new regulations. In a 6-3 decision that was made along political lines, the Supreme Court said the case amounted to “a judicial intervention that required judges to disregard their statutory duties.

The Supreme Court overturned a 40-year-old precedent that gave deference to federal agencies in interpreting ambiguous statutes as they create and enforce regulations.
The court’s six conservative justices all voted to overturn what has been known as the “Chevron doctrine,” rooted in a 1984 case and impacting everything from the enforcement of clean air and water to rules to FCC regulations on broadcasting and the internet.
“Chevron defies the command of the [the Administrative Procedure Act] that ‘the reviewing court’—not the agency whose action it reviews—is to ‘decide all relevant questions of law’ and ‘interpret . . . statutory provisions’,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion.
He added, “Chevron cannot be reconciled with the APA, as the Government and the dissent contend, by presuming that statutory ambiguities are implicit delegations to agencies.”

In January, a year and half after the Supreme Court’s Republican appointees gave states free reign to restrict abortion — even if that meant forcing women to carry dangerous, ill-fated pregnancies to term — the court doubled-down on that decision, stepping in to ensure Idaho could continue denying abortions to patients whose pregnancies put their health at risk.
The consequences of that choice were immediately apparent: Doctors were forced to airlift pregnant patients from Idaho to Washington to receive treatment that they themselves could have provided, but were legally barred from offering.

The Supreme Court sided with the White House in a challenge to the administration’s efforts to curb disinformation on social media.
In a 6-3 ruling, the justices ruled that two states and five social media users lacked standing to show that First Amendment rights were violated as Biden administration officials called on social media platforms to stem disinformation about the Covid vaccine, among other things.
“To establish standing, the plaintiffs must demonstrate a substantial risk that, in the near future, they will suffer an injury that is traceable to a Government defendant and redressable by the injunction they seek,” Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote in the majority opinion. “Because no plaintiff has carried that burden, none has standing to seek a preliminary injunction.”
Barrett put particular emphasis on causation.
“As already discussed, the platforms moderated similar content long before any of the Government defendants engaged in the challenged conduct,...

On a Thursday two years ago today, at exactly 10:10 in the morning, the Supreme Court issued its decision in Dobbs, the landmark case overruling Roe v. Wade and ending the federal right to abortion. The decision was not necessarily a surprise — almost two months earlier, a leaked draft of the ruling was published by Politico — so much as a confirmation of abortion rights supporters’ worst fears.
The real surprise, as New York Times reporters Elizabeth Dias and Lisa Lerer write in their new book The Fall of Roe, was the date of its release.

Today, in U.S. v. Rahimi, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a federal law prohibiting the possession of firearms by anyone subject to domestic-violence restraining orders. The court ruled 8-1 that the law should be upheld.
“The Second Amendment permits more than just those regulations identical to ones that could be found in 1791,” Chief...

Back in 1985, Emilio Estevez and Andrew McCarthy shared the screen in the Joel Schumacher-directed coming-of-age film St. Elmo’s Fire, which was a box office hit that’s still remembered fondly to this day, even though the critical response wasn’t very positive. In the build-up to the release of that film, Estevez and McCarthy were set to co-star in another project, called Young Men with Unlimited Capital… but unfortunately, eighteen days before the release of St. Elmo’s Fire, New York Magazine published an article by David Blum in which Blum dubbed several of the hottest young actors of the day the Brat Pack. The actors mentioned in that article were shocked and offended by the Brat Pack label – so much that Estevez refused to do Young Men with Unlimited Capital with McCarthy, killing the project. Thirty-nine years later, the story of Young Men with Unlimited Capital has still never made it to the screen.

The Supreme Court is, person for person, the most powerful ruling body in the United States. Nine jurists, appointed for life, get to determine the everyday rights of Americans. These jurists can be conservative or liberal, but they’re supposed to rule according to the Constitution, not their political beliefs.
Whether this is what’s happening has come into question, most recently through reporting about Justice Samuel Alito and his wife, Martha-Ann, who were revealed to have flown two flags associated with the “Stop the Steal” movement outside their residences.

Justice Samuel Alito spoke candidly about the ideological battle between the left and the right — discussing the difficulty of living “peacefully” with ideological opponents in the face of “fundamental” differences that “can’t be compromised.” He endorsed what his interlocutor described as a necessary fight to “return our country to a place of godliness.” And Alito offered a blunt assessment of how America’s polarization will ultimately be resolved: “One side or the other is going to win.”

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has refused to meet with lawmakers regarding their concerns over Justice Samuel Alito’s ability to impartially judge Jan. 6 cases.
In a short letter responding to Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), majority whip and chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-r.I.), chair of the Judiciary subcommittee on federal courts, Roberts wrote that he would “respectfully decline your request for a meeting.”

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has finally responded to concerns about his ability to remain impartial in cases related to efforts to subvert the 2020 election. His answer is a firm refusal to recuse himself.
Earlier this month, The New York Times reported that Alito has flown at least two flags associated with the 2020 “Stop the Steal” movement, which falsely holds that widespread election fraud had robbed former President Donald Trump of a second term.
“As I have stated publicly, I had nothing whatsoever to do with the flying of that flag,...

Two top Democratic senators have sent a letter to Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts requesting to meet with him “as soon as possible” and urging him to “immediately take appropriate steps to ensure that Justice Alito will recuse himself in any cases related to the 2020 presidential election and January 6th attack on the Capitol.”

The Supreme Court determined on Thursday that South Carolina Republicans did not engage in racial gerrymandering when redrawing the map of the state’s 1st Congressional district, overturning a lower court ruling by the District of South Carolina.
In a 6-3 ruling the conservative majority of the court, comprised of Justices Samuel Alito, John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett, held that they saw no evidence that the Republican-controlled state legislature was motivated by racial bias when it removed 30,000 predominantly Black residents from the 1st...

The New York Times reported on Wednesday that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito flew an “Appeal to Heaven” flag at his New Jersey beach house. The flag’s close association with both far-right Christian nationalists and the insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 raises serious questions about Alito’s ability to rule impartially. The conservative court on which Alito sits is largely the product of right-wing dark-money overlord Leonard Leo, and — wouldn’t you know it — Leo flew the same “Appeal to Heaven” flag outside of his house in Maine.

Picture two protests involving the American flag.
In one of them, a star NFL quarterback kneels during the singing of the national anthem. The reason? To call attention to the true, real plight of Black Americans whose lives seem not to matter as much as white ones — part of the unfinished business of American democracy. For this, he is booed, vilified, and effectively banned from the NFL. He never works as a quarterback again.

Former President Donald Trump‘s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., visited former Trump adviser Peter Navarro in federal prison. Navarro faces a sentence of four months after he was convicted on two counts of contempt of Congress related to the January 6 investigations.
Navarro failed to provide the necessary information, including documents and testimony, to the former January 6 House committee by evading a congressional subpoena. Navarro claimed that former President Trump had asserted executive privilege to maintain confidentiality. However, no evidence of Trump invoking the privilege was ever presented.
Navarro attempted to appeal his prison sentence twice to the U.S. Supreme Court, once to Chief Justice John Roberts and again to Justice Neil Gorsuch. Both Justices denied his requests. Later, District Judge Amit Mehta sentenced Navarro to six months in prison and a fine of $600,000.
Trump Jr. claimed he visited Navarro to show support for “a good man” who was “wrongfully convicted.

On Monday, the Supreme Court rejected former Trump adviser Peter Navarro‘s bid to stay out of prison while he appeals his conviction for evading a congressional subpoena.
Navarro, 74, was charged with two counts of contempt of Congress after he refused to cooperate with the House January 6 committee investigating the Capitol Riot. Navarro failed to provide documents to the committee and refused to testify. Navarro cited former President Donald Trump‘s executive privilege to maintain confidentiality. However, there is no evidence that Trump ever asserted the privilege or that it would apply in this case.
This is Navarro’s second attempt to stay out of prison. In March, Chief Justice John Roberts denied Navarro’s first request. Navarro was ordered to report to a federal prison in Miami on March 19. Navarro renewed his request to Justice Neil Gorsuch. The motion was brought to a full court for a vote. Previously,...

Update: Supreme Court justices expressed skepticism of Donald Trump’s argument that presidents enjoy broad immunity, but they wrestled with which certain official acts could be shielded from prosecution and which would not.
There were some suggestions of sending the case base to lower courts to decide, on an individual basis, which of the charges against Trump could be deemed as private acts and subject to criminal liability. That is a prospect that could lead to further delay in Trump’s election conspiracy case, perhaps until after the 2024 election.
A number of the justices expressed concerns that their decision in the case would impact future presidents after they leave office and the extent to which they could be subject to criminal prosecution. Justice Samuel Alito hypothesized about political rivals being prosecuted and “a cycle that destabilizes the functioning of our country.”

It’s eclipse day in America, and if you thought Fox News was going to act normal about it, you were wrong.
The right-wing news network wasted no time on Monday attempting to link the moon’s brief blotting out of the sun to migrant crossings at the Mexico border.
“Fox News alert! A rare celestial event collides with a policy failure on the ground. The southern border is directly in the path of totality today when the moon covers the sun,” host Dana Perino said during Monday’s broadcast of America’s Newsroom.

Most animated shows have a general idea of what their characters are going to be when they start casting, but in the case of the Fox family sitcom "Bob's Burgers," they actually worked in reverse. The series went backwards by starting with a cast in mind and then created the Belcher family inspired by the cast and their specific talents. It's a pretty unique way to create a television show, but it worked great because the voice actors each bring so much to the table that the show actually uses a mixture of written script and improv to bring the Belchers to life, something very few animated shows would ever even attempt.

Updated: This past weekend saw a parade of Republican elected officials and conservative commentators blast the White House for recognizing Sunday as the Transgender Day Of Visibility, as it happened to fall this year on the same day as Easter.
That continued into Monday, with radio hosts highlighting the outrage and FoxNews.com devoting its 11th story so far over the flap.
At today’s press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called out Fox, noting that “we are at first … confused on their coverage. We are grateful that Fox agrees with President Biden about the importance of recognizing trans day of visibility.”
She then went on to read a tweet that Fox TV, the broadcast network sister division of Fox News, put out in 2021 that noted the Trans Day Of Visibility and read, “To all the transgender men, women and non-binary folx, we see you and stand with you.

In a decision that has raised eyebrows and fueled allegations of favoritism, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has appointed Crystal Clanton, a former employee of his wife, as a law clerk.
Clanton, a 29-year-old conservative activist who transitioned into a legal career, has secured a coveted position as a law clerk for the October term of the Supreme Court. Her selection has been met with criticism, as she had previously faced accusations of sending racist text messages. Despite these allegations, Clanton had been closely connected to the Thomas family, often referred to as their “nearly adopted daughter.”
As reported in The New Yorker in 2017, Clanton had texted, “I Hate Black People. Like f‑‑‑ them all … I hate blacks. End of story.”
When the messages surfaced at the time, Clanton said she had “no recollection,” of the texts. She stepped down from her position at Turning Point USA in the wake...

"Be free! Fiction is freedom!" Neon has revealed an official trailer for a totally bonkers indie comedy titled Stress Positions, marking the feature directorial debut of trans filmmaker Theda Hammel (also of the series "My Trip to Spain"). This premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival in the Dramatic Competition section, and it's also playing at New Directors/New Films in NYC in April before it opens in select theaters later in April as well.

Unfortunately for Terry, everyone in his life wants to meet the model – hilarity ensues. Starring John Early, Qaher Harhash, Theda Hammel, Amy Zimmer, Faheem Ali, and John Roberts. This awkward comedy is about a hodgepodge of queer people from NYC...
