This is very true. But adding seats is only the beginning to reforming this judiciary that's been so polluted by the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation.
Any sweeping systemic change you want to make in the United States has to begin with adding seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. No major reform bill will survive the current court. No civil rights law, no anti-corruption law, no wealth tax, nothing.

Canadian commentator @deanblundell.bsky.social absolutely unloads on Trump in an interview with @macfarlanenews.bsky.social: “We’re laughing at him. We’re mocking him… This is not a serious man. This is not a serious president.” He says Trump's become a “caricature” in Canada with “nowhere to go.”

Trump has drastically weakened and debased the United States. To get through this we will have to listen to our friends. (Lesson 16 of "On Tyranny"). www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/o...

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Many in the Democratic Party need to support abolishing DHS and replacing ICE with a smaller and less militarised customs and border control organisation.
Rep. @aoc.bsky.social : “ICE is attacking 🇺🇸 citizens, kidnapping 5-year-olds and using them as bait to open doors, and violating constitutional rights by busting into their doors… They deserve to be defunded." (H/T @meidastouch.com )
@weeknightmsnow.bsky.social You assume Trump cares about popular support. He's looking for his excuse to take control of the elections.

This can be traced back to the long list of bad decisions from the Roberts Court based on the historically ignorant originalist bullshit of the anti-democracy Federalist Society and the Christian nationalism of The Heritage Foundation.
This IS the result of the Supreme Court of the United States of America giving the most amoral person in America immunity from his crimes. Crimes that stack up daily. Including 115 counts of 1st-degree murder of unarmed civilians suspected of crimes not punishable by the death penalty.

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... This has been the goal of Putin, Xi, and Trump for years. We face the prospect of another world war with these tyrants in wars of conquest.
@chrislhayes.bsky.social When interviewing Amy Klobuchar, I hope you ask if she will continue voting to confirm Trump's goon nominees.

More than that DHS needs to be abolished and replaced with something less like the FSB or KGB. ICE must absolutely be replaced with something less like the Gestapo and a less military-like budget. They cannot be reformed.
Democrats cannot vote for a DHS budget that doesn’t restrain the growing lawlessness of this agency.
Makes me sort of wish Hell was real. It would be overflowing with MAGAts and the remaining Republicans kissing Trump's flabby, disgusting arse.
I hate Trump, who is a mentally deranged person ruining our country. But I have greater loathing for the completely rational Republicans who have consciously decided to destroy our democracy in order to line their own pockets. There's not a place in Hell hot enough for them.
