TALLAHASSEE — If it hadn’t been for a fender bender on Interstate 75 near Chattanooga, Tennessee, Tuesday morning, most folks wouldn’t know that Gov. Ron DeSantis was using state government vehicles for his 2024 run for president.

Tuesday’s four-vehicle collision on the way to a campaign fundraiser draws a curtain back on the campaign’s use of state resources. But finding out who’s paying for it is nearly impossible thanks to a new law passed by the Legislature to protect the governor’s travel records from public view.

“The legislature has enabled him to hide his travel records so we don’t know and have no way to hold him accountable if he is using state resources in his campaign or if that is even the case,” said Ben Wilcox, research director for Integrity Florida, a nonprofit government watchdog.

It was frustrating enough when trying to monitor his use of government resources while traveling around the state, Rep. Anna Eskamani said, but to take those people and vehicles out of state is even worse

The Iowa Super PAC bus tour is “legal,” with the quotes intentionally added. They’re skating on a technicality: The Super PAC didn’t technically coordinate directly with DeathSentence; they just showed up in Iowa and hoped he would notice them and ride on their bus. Does it violate the spirit of the law, abso-fucking-lutely. Should it be illegal, also, abso-fucking-lutely. Will they get busted on it, of course not. It’s Republicans, remember?

Just like Trump, DeSantis is enthralled with the way being in power gives you free stuff. Meanwhile, he sent goons after people who voted after being told they could. So the “law” is a cudgel for him to use on Black folks, but a nuisance for him that can be ignored if it gets in the way of his lifestyle.

I know
Its still galling

So DeSantis popped up onto the stage that his campaign definitely did not set up for him, in the room his completely independent super PAC just happened to rent out in case he wanted to show up. DeSantis speaking to the crowd elevated the vibe from “escape room” to North Korean Chuck E. Cheese.

There’s also “no provision in the Constitution” for judicial review, or originalism, or qualified immunity, or the major questions doctrine, or most of what he routinely applies as a Justice.

But why let legal principles or logical consistency stop you from doing what you want?

Musk Saves QAnon Kiddie Porn Purveyor, Bans Ad Criticizing Republicans (Wonkette, an hour ago)

In what seems like a bid to make the site formerly known Twitter* as unappealing to the Left as humanly possible, Elon Musk has made the decision to unban conspiracy nut Dominick McGee (AKA “Dom Lucre”) after he was kicked off the site earlier this week for sharing incredibly disturbing Child Sexual Abuse Materials (CSAM) that no normal human being should even know how to access.

“I’m told that this account was suspended for posting child exploitation pictures associated with the criminal conviction of an Australian man in the Philippines,” Musk tweeted initially. However, following pressure from McGee’s supporters, claiming that he was being banned for his criticism of Democrats — something one imagines could be accomplished without a picture of an infant being tortured — he reinstated the account and lied about who had seen the pictures.

“Only people on our CSE team have seen those pictures. For now, we will delete those posts and reinstate the account.”

And yet, screenshots show that over 3 million people saw the image.

“No provision in the Constitution gives them the authority to regulate the Supreme Court — period.” Except for, oh, you know, that little bit that says EXACTLY THAT:

The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;—to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;—to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;—to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;—to Controversies between two or more States;— between a State and Citizens of another StateChanged by the Eleventh Amendment.,—between Citizens of different States,—between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects. In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.

Article III of the Constitution is a bitch, isn’t it, Would-Be King Alito?

Too many votes, procedures, etc are reliant on one person
For many reasons
Tuberville situation is just stupid
Mccain, judiciary etc are because of the close Senate
House too. Besides the freedom caucus nonsense

There’s not a lot of sweeping clearly one side or the other policy

Excerpts from a terrific interactive on “A warming, planet, pathogens, and diseases” published by Grist…
_______________________

To escape rising temperatures in their native ranges, animals are beginning to move to higher, cooler elevations, bringing diseases with them. That poses a threat to people living in those areas, and it also leads to dangerous intermingling between animal newcomers and existing species.

Ticks, mosquitos, bacteria, algae, even fungi are on the move, shifting or expanding their historical ranges to adapt for climatic conditions that are changing at an extraordinary pace.

“This is not just something off in the future,” Neil Vora, a physician with the nonprofit Conservation International, said. “Climate change is here. People are suffering and dying right now.”

Diseases old and new are becoming more prevalent, and even cropping up in places they’ve never been found before. Researchers have begun piecing together a patchwork of evidence that illuminates the formidable threat climate-driven diseases currently pose to human health — and the scope of the dangers to come.

These changes are not happening in a vacuum. Deforestation, mining, agriculture, and urban sprawl are taking bites out of the globe’s remaining wild areas, contributing to biodiversity loss that is occurring at a rate unprecedented in human history.

I can only hope that there is a blue tsunami large enough next year to put into office at least 50 Democratic Senators willing to reform the filibuster so that some much needed shit can get done, specifically including reform of SCOTUS. This is supposed to be a republic, not an autocracy ruled by deeply corrupt, unaccountable philosopher-kings.

The Iowa Super PAC bus tour is “legal,” with the quotes intentionally added. They’re skating on a technicality: The Super PAC didn’t technically coordinate directly with DeathSentence; they just showed up in Iowa and hoped he would notice them and ride on their bus. Does it violate the spirit of the law, abso-fucking-lutely. Should it be illegal, also, abso-fucking-lutely. Will they get busted on it, of course not. It’s Republicans, remember?

Years ago, the old Colbert Report had a show demonstrating absolutely how corrupt and dishonest Super Pacs are. Until we have a decent SCOTUS (and that won’t be in my lifetime), there is no way to outlaw or control these organizations.

First, this is admittedly “out there” but I am completely serious about it. In particular, I don’t mean to make light of suicidal ideation at all.

I am wondering if batshit RFK Jr. might be suicidal and is planning to stage his own assassination at some key moment. He would do this in the hope that it will cause chaos in the country that has rejected him and essentially take the whole thing with him. Keep in mind that A. Hitler blamed the German people for failing him before he killed himself.
I do not believe that anything like a total collapse could happen even if he did off himself, but delusional cranks are usually narcissists who greatly over-estimate themselves. It could cause a great deal of trouble.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Offered to Announce He and Cheryl Hines Had Separated to ‘Protect Her’

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. offered to announce that he had separated with his wife, Cheryl Hines, as an effort to shield her from scrutiny of his political statements.

In a new interview with the New York Times, Hines’ first since Kennedy announced his candidacy in the 2024 presidential run, the actor reiterates that she supports her husband’s political aspirations and understands her growing role in the campaign — noting how her public persona “feels different, because it feels like every word is important” and that “people are listening in a different way.”

Hines shares that the statement that drove Kennedy to propose the separation announcement were his comparisons between the Holocaust and CDC leader Anthony Fauci’s efforts to vaccinate Americans against COVID.

Shortly after criticisms arose, Hines took to Twitter and released a statement: “My husband’s opinions are not a reflection of my own. While we love each other, we differ on many current issues… The atrocities that millions endured during the Holocaust should never be compared to anyone or anything. His opinions are not a reflection of my own.”” Kennedy later apologized for his remarks.

Kennedy revealed to The New York Times, how his statement impacted his wife: “I saw how it was affecting her life and I said to her, ‘We should just announce that we are separated,’ so that you can have some distance from me… We wouldn’t really be doing anything, we would just — I felt so desperate about protecting her at a time where my statements and my decisions were impacting her.”

Although Hines never considered that action a possibility, Kennedy revealed he had written the news release.

The weakest branch of government globally is the judiciary, because they don’t control the money or the guns.

Sure, I suppose, but then what? The SCOTUS reactionaries are pure political actors now, but have no experience at real politics and are opposed by people who are quite good at it. Power is a shared illusion, and needs support and consent by those who they are exerting power over. They don’t understand this at all. Their support has fallen off a cliff and they don’t understand the danger.

At some point when they continue to legislate from the bench, California, New York, Massachussetts, and whatever other state governments and the Feds are simply going to tell them that no, we’re not going to do that. Then what is SCOTUS going to do? It’s not a good situation at all, but if enough people decide that their power is illegitimate it is gone.

This. SCOTUS has the power it has because the real powers in the US system (Executive, Congress, the States) found it useful to have a respectable and independent court of last resort, and basically consented to the judicial power grab in Marbury.

Should that court become the utterly compromised tool of a vile political party, then all bets are off.

re: #106 EPR-radar

But what if a Congress full of Republicans were to pass a Federal enactment of Jim Crow, and include a provision that prevents Federal Courts from having jurisdiction?

As always, it is simply impossible to have a system of checks and balances that can survive absolute bad faith from a major political party.

This would not be possible, as I understand it. The Supreme Court has original jurisidiction over anything involving states and citizens in those states. Jim Crow laws would certainly include citizens of states and states. Per the Constitution, this cannot be removed by the Congress.

He’s also saying the quiet part out loud. He, like Trump, wants to do whatever he wants, without oversight or consequences. He’s telling us, “I believe the Supreme Court isn’t just the highest court in the land, I believe it is THE HIGHEST GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY in the land.”

I would expect that the bill will state that it is not covered by the Supreme Court jurisdiction. The Congress is perfectly able to pass a law and include legislation saying that the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction and cannot review.

Although Congress can only alter the Supreme courts appellate jurisdiction, not it’s original jurisdiction. So if the court decided supreme court ethics is part of it’s original jurisdiction then congress can’t limit it.

Sure, they can play with technical interpretation of rules all they want, but if they end up with “bunch of sneering rightwing cranks who are taking your rights away decide they don’t have to follow any ethics rules”, they have a political problem not a legal one.

For some reason, the right wing in many countries is shot through with tone deaf rules cranks, who think that because they can torture a bunch of text into saying that the rest of us normies need to feed ourselves into the slaughterhouses we’ll just shrug and do it.

The way my parents kept me from having sex, or doing drugs, or reading things they didn’t want me to read… is by constant supervision. And I do mean CONSTANT. I never had a minute’s privacy until I went to college.

IANAL but the Constitution says “In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make. “

There are no states involved as parties here, just Congress and the Court. There is no original jurisdiction. So Congress could remove apellate jurisdiction for the Court. . There have been cases where Congress has explicitly said they do not have appellate authority on certain legislation. So it could not hear any appeals.

So the control panel for my oven went T.U. and it’ll run around $200.00 for a replacement. Since I don’t do all that much baking as a general rule (Instant pot or air fyrer), I decided to just get a counter top toaster/oven. It came in today and so far I’m really liking it. I’m going to really like the rotisserie function. It sells new for $80.00 but they had one in stock for $45.00 because of “minor cosmetic defects”. After inspecting it, I couldn’t find anything wrong so I’ll consider that an extra win. Also, it shipped USPS instead of the usual UPS. Out of curiosity I asked the postman if he had seen an increase in Amazon deliveries and he stated that they had about doubled. So I suspect Amazon is trying to get as much of their merchandise out of the UPS chain as they can BEFORE they go on strike at the end of the month. Thats gotta be hurting UPS’s bottom line.

Why yes, I can bake a pie in it. And since the main oven is Kaput, it’ll make a great place to store it.

In college I knew a lot of Kennedy-like kids who came from New England private schools. I was shocked at how well-developed their anti-Semitism was. I think to some extent it’s baked into the elite WASPy culture (I say being well aware of the Kennedys’ Catholicism). I guess I’m saying that while RFK, Jr. may be using code to speak to LCD among Trump’s base, he may be doing so effortlessly.

“…Taveras is represented by attorney Stanley Woodward, who also represents Nauta.

The New York Times reported earlier this year that Taveras appeared before the grand jury. I he is cooperating, legal experts question the propriety of Woodward representing a defendant (Nauta) and a potentially important witness against him (Taveras).

“That’s a blatant conflict,” Trump’s former attorney Ty Cobb told The Messenger.

Woodward did not respond to multiple emails requesting comment.”

The Sunkist Schmuck continues his insane rants.

‘I have already won’: Trump suggests Senate impeachment acquittal means Jack Smith can’t retry him

In a social media post he suggested his acquittal in the 2021 impeachment by the Senate precludes Jack Smith’s probe.

Trump earlier this month received a letter from the special counsel’s office indicating he’s the target of the probe and is likely to be indicted.

“How can Deranged Jack Smith bring a case on January 6th., as ridiculous as it is anyway, when I have already won such a case, and been fully acquitted, in the U.S. Senate?” Trump asked on his Truth Social website.

“In other words, I was Impeached on this, and WON!!! ELECTION INTERFERENCE & PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT, all rolled up as one. We are truly a Nation In Decline!”

If you think Republicans are happy with current racist rhetoric BEFORE this dire election you haven’t seen anything yet should they win. The term “Colored” will become commonplace once again in the halls of Congress and in state legislatures. The N-word flying will no longer tank a Conservative career, but solidify his alliance with the hard right and endear him even more to the 35%..

Log cabin guys may like the racism promoted by the modern Republican Party. And when it comes to black membership in the GOP, it’s difficult to see the true attraction. At the beginning of the 21st Century, blacks had prominent roles in the Bush administration. It was during the Obama administration, that the party truly descended into the racism that motivates it today, especially after Roberts anti-voting decision in the Shelby case.

The trooper’s experience at the border is ugly, so I’m hiding it for anyone who’s already at maximum rage and can’t take any more.

Good afternoon, [REDACTED].

My name is [REDACTED] I am a very proud Trooper and Medic for Texas DPS. I love this State and this Department. I fully understand the mission of Operation Lone Star and completely agree that we need to secure the border from bad people. I want to inform you of some of the issues we had while working the operation as a Trooper Medic from 6/24/23 to 7/1/23 in Eagle Pass TX.

On 6/25/23 we went on patrol to see how many gates were locked on the fence line south of the casualty wire at approximately 2200. In while doing so we came across 120 people camped out along the fence line. In this group there was several small children and babies who were nursing. The entire group was exhausted hungry and tired. We called the shift officer in command, and we were given orders to push the people back into the water to go to Mexico. We decided that this was not the correct thing to do. With the very real potential of exhausted people drowning. We made contact with command again and expressed our concerns and we were given the order to tell them to go to Mexico and get into our vehicle and leave. After we left, members of the brush team coordinated with Border patrol and got the people processed and taken care of.

On 6/30/23 at approximately 1500 we had group of people at the casualty wire seeking refuge. In this group was a 4 year old female who attempted to cross the wire and was pressed back by Texas Guard soldiers due to the orders given to them. The temperature was well over 100 degrees. Shortly thereafter the 4 year old passed out due to exhaustion and a DPS Sgt and Texas Guard Soldier extricated the patient and transported to us. We provided treatment to the unresponsive patient and transferred care to EMS.

On 6/30/23 we had an adult male with a significant laceration in his left leg. We asked him what happened and he stated that he had a child who was stuck on a trap in the water. He said that there was a barrel that had casualty wire all over it and his child was stuck on it. He extricated his kid and while doing so the barrel trap lacerated his leg.

On 6/30/23 we had a 15 year old male child who while walking in the river due to the casualty wire being laid out in a manner that it forced him into the river where it is unsafe to travel. In while doing so he broke his right leg and his father carried him the rest of the way to the Rosetta gate. We then splinted the leg and transferred care to EMS.

On 6/30/23 at approximately 2130 while patrolling the casualty wire near Pecan Farms we came across a 19 year old female who was in obvious pain stuck in the casualty wire who was doubled over. We cut her out of the wire and medically assessed her. She was pregnant and was having a miscarriage. We promptly coordinated with Eagle Pass EMS and transferred care.

With the casualty wire running for several miles along the river in areas where it is easier for people to cross. It forces people to cross in other areas that are deeper and not as safe for people carrying kids and bags. On 7/1/23 at approximately 1630 we had reports from border patrol that there was a mother and two children struggling to cross the river. Our TMU boat team searched for the victims and found the mother and one child who went under the water for a minute. They rescued two of victims and started life saving measures. They were transferred to Eagle Pass EMS and were later called deceased at the hospital. The other child that Border Patrol saw was never found. In total 5 people drowned this week in the area of operation.

I truly believe in the mission of Operation Lone Star; I believe we a have stepped over a line into the in humane. We need to operate it correctly in the eyes of God. We need to recognize that these are people who are made in the image of God and need to be treated as such. The casualty wire needs to provide protection to the state and provide a safe means of travel on solid land to proper collection points. The wire also needs to be manned and patrolled constantly to provide security for these families who are seeking refuge. The wire on the shore needs to be lighted at night so people can see the wire and not stumble into it as a trap. The wire and barrels in the river needs to be taken out as this is nothing but a in humane trap in high water and low visibility. Due to the extreme heat, the order to not give people water needs to be immediately reversed as well. I also believe that forcing refugees to cross back into Mexico vs getting them to Border Patrol is putting them back in the hands of the Cartels where they are assaulted robbed and raped. This plays into advantage of the Cartels as they can charge them again to cross them over. I say all of this in due respect and deep concern, thank you.
