Extreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is retiring from the bench, NPR reports. Florida MAGA federal Judge Aileen Cannon had no comment on the matter as she was most likely trying to figure out how to appoint herself by ruling that the US Senate has no jurisdiction over the matter.

In all seriousness, you can take it as a sign that the GOP aren’t exactly fully confident in their chances of holding the Senate if they’ve talked through this with Sam – and that risk still outweighed the fraught process for a nomination during the leadup to the midte…

UPDATE 6/30/2026 11:09 AM EDT: Guess the only question now is whether this was just premature or actually wrong. Probably going to need some more information than just “error.”

“NPR’s reporting regarding Justice Alito is inaccurate. And their reporting that there was any kind of court statement is inaccurate,” Supremos spokeswoman Pat McCabe then said in a statement.

As expected, the US Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that convicted felon President Trump cannot unilaterally decide to delete the birthright citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment, much less arbitrarily mandate an effective date for its end, thus closing the door for a future Dem president to sign an executive order going the other way and granting citizenship to whomever they want.

“Children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are ‘subject to the jurisdiction’ of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the opinion joined by Barrett, the three libs, and in part by Kavanaugh who filed an opinion “concurring in the judgment and dissenting in part.”

A Truth Social alert issued at 10:39 AM EDT celebrated that the court had earlier ruled that schools can ban biological males from playing girls’ sports. Can’t rain on that parade, no matter what, right?

The US Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled 6-3 that Republican campaign donor organizations can coordinate with actual campaigns, which in some way is a victory for free speech to all Americans.

Republican New Jersey Congressman Tom Kean Jr, who disappeared for like four months over an unspecified “health issue,” returned to the Capitol on Tuesday and promptly refused to answer questions from CNN’s Manu Raju and other reporters who greeted him.

Picasso-faced Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Dem candidate James Talarico are tied at 47 percent in a New York Times/Siena survey of likely voters in the Lone Star State’s senate contest.

“Surprisingly, the Supreme Court declined to ‘review’ a Fake Case brought against me by a woman I never met (Decades old celebrity photo line, standing with her husband, does not count!). I will continue the fight against this Weaponization and Lawfare Case against me, including the ridiculous claim of Defamation, with all of my power and strength. This Case is really against the United States of America, and all it stands for, and should never be allowed to happen to another President, or Candidate to be! New York State created a Law, for an instant speck of time, going back many decades, in order to wrongfully ‘nab’ me. It was tailormade, and this Injustice cannot be allowed to stand!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Monday, his usual l’etat c’est moi song-and-dance after the Supreme Court decided they weren’t going to overturn the verdict that cost him $5 million and adjudicated him as a rapist for his circa 1995 sexual violation of writer EJ Carroll.

That impotent whine followed another in which the fat bastard screamed angrily about the mail-in ballot defeat, posting “In light of the tremendous loss in the Supreme Court today concerning Voter’s Rights, and the fact that ‘people’s’ votes are allowed to be counted LONG AFTER an Election is over, it is more important than ever to pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, which is,(1) ALL VOTERS MUST SHOW PHOTO ID (IDENTIFICATION!). (2) ALL VOTERS MUST SHOW PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP. (3) NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS (EXCEPT FOR ILLNESS, DISABILITY, MILITARY DEPLOYMENT, OR TRAVEL!). There is no excuse for a politician, or otherwise, to be against the above three requirements. There is only one reason to oppose — CHEATING! The House of Representatives has approved this vital Act, THREE TIMES. The United States Senate seems unable to do so. In a time when there is a powerful Communist Movement taking place in our Country, one more dangerous than World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor, or September 11th, all Dumocrats, and our five Republican Senate Hold Outs, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Thom Tillis, Bill Cassidy, and Mitch McConnell must vote to SAVE OUR COUNTRY. There can be no more excuses!” and Christ with the goddamned World War hyperbole.

In the third defeat of the morning from the Supreme Court that he largely controls, the justices ruled 5-4 that convicted felon President Trump cannot fire Federal Reserve Board of Governors member Lisa Cook, an unforced fuckup that started with some fake bullshit case about her mortgage.

In a squeaker of a 5-4 decision, the US Supreme Court on Monday ruled that mail-in ballots arriving within five days after election day can be counted, imploding MAGA plans to implode the mail-in ballot system. Chief Justice John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett joined the libs on the call.

The US Supreme Court on Monday tossed convicted felon President Trump’s bid to overturn the $5 million sexual abuse judgment in rape victim EJ Carroll’s first case against the fat bastard.

A new AARP survey of likely voters in Ohio finds Dem Amy Acton leading Republican gubernatorial nominee Vivek “Da Vek” Ramaswamy 47 to 44 percent ahead of November’s election.

Convicted felon President Trump on Sunday declared victory in his struggle against the malign pro-algae forces bedeviling the National Mall reflecting pool with a 571-word Truth Social screed.

Here it is if you REALLY want to read it:

“United States aircraft just struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations, and coastal radar sites, for violating the Cease Fire Agreement, AGAIN! It is very possible that they will never learn!”

“There may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable, and will be forced to militarily complete the job that we very successfully started. If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Saturday evening.

Things already sucked at the “Great American State Fair” on the National Mall in DC this week as, per USA Today at least 10 states and territories refused to participate, leading one 72 year-old retired teacher from Massachusetts, who didn’t even ask anyone if she could occupy her state’s booth to simply show up with cases of maple syrup and kids’ coloring books to hand out.

From 8 am to 9 pm, every day of the fair. Then there were generator issues, leading to melted ice cream and a shutdown of the ferris wheel on Thursday. Rain came down hard, very hard, on Friday.

Then there was Wednesday’s incident starring Gian “Manny” Rachtelli, a 54 year-old MAGA Z-lister who, according to the Daily Beast, was livestreaming himself enjoying a performance by a troupe of female acrobats – and enjoying it a little too much, per a National Park Police arrest report.

The report did not mention that Rachtelli was wearing an Uncle Sam costume at the time.

Nor did this “FREE MANNY” tweet mention the masturbation.

The small Gulf state of Bahrain as well as an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz came under attack by Iranian drones on Saturday as the ceasefire continued, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Russian officials on Friday declared the Crimean Peninsula – seized from Ukraine in 2014 – due to power outages and fuel shortages caused by a barrage of missiles and drones launched by Kyiv to pressure dictator Vladimir Putin into giving up on his destructive imperialist war, CNN reports.

In related enough news, Putin’s tyrannical American counterpart on Friday, also getting humiliated from an unforced war he started, posted “The Islamic Republic of Iran shot at least four One Way Attack Drones at Ships transversing the Strait of Hormuz. One of the Drones solidly hit the upper deck of a large and very expensive Cargo Carrying Ship. Damage was done, but the Ship was able to proceed on its way. We knocked down three other Drones. Obviously, this is a foolish violation of our Ceasefire Agreement,” meaning there wasn’t really any ceasefire at all.

“Other Polls have my Approval Rating at 65 percent, and more! Like Journalists, Honest Pollsters are very rare and hard to find!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Friday, linking to a Newsmax article about a bullshit McLaughlin poll putting his approval at 50 percent to 46 percent disapprove.

“At the same time, Republicans still trail Democrats on the generic congressional ballot, 46 percent to 43 percent, underscoring that while the president’s personal standing has strengthened, congressional Republicans still have work to do heading into the midterm elections,” the pollsters, brothers John and Jim McLaughlin wrote, and lol at their struggle to sugarcoat already fake data.
