"Shitshow" is putting this description of the WaPo's staff meeting mildly.

Ok HOLD UP.

Last week: ‘Alito said in a statement he had “no involvement whatsoever in the flying of the flag”’

This week: He’s saying he tried to get her to take it down but she refused: “I was not even aware of the upside- down flag until it was called to my attention. As soon as I saw it, I asked my wife to take it down, but for several days, she refused.”

So asking to have the flag be taken down is “no involvement”?

#Twitter was partially down this morning worldwide. Search and trends showed no results, and both the “For you” and “Following” timelines were completely down. Posting did work, but nobody other than you was able to see your posts.

At 1:45 a.m. Eastern time, the website came back online fully. Total downtime was much over an hour.

Justice Alito:
“I know this is a controversial view, but I’m willing to say it,” referencing Democrats’ recent efforts to require stronger ethical rules for SCOTUS. “No provision in the Constitution gives them the authority to regulate the Supreme Court—period.”
The Imperial Supreme Court indeed

‘Town hall audience was "disgusted" and "bewildered" by Trump, but CNN told them not to boo, only to applaud’

‘Only to applaud’. Well, that is certainly balanced journalisming! https://boingboing.net/2023/05/12/town-hall-audience-was-disgusted-and-bewildered-by-trump-but-cnn-told-them-not-to-boo-only-to-applaud.html

CNN is gaslighting America:

"Tonight Kaitlan Collins exemplified what it means to be a world-class journalist," CNN's message read. "She asked tough, fair and revealing questions. And she followed up and fact-checked President Trump in real time to arm voters with crucial information about his positions as he enters the 2024 election as the Republican frontrunner. That is CNN's role and responsibility: to get answers and hold the powerful to account."

Wow. CNN really is hot fascist enabling garbage now, isn’t it?

Really starting to think we need to shut this Supreme Court thing down until we can figure out what the heck is going on.

Given latest reporting that GOP operatives planned to use this leaked information from Coffee County, GA as fodder for invalidating legitimate elections, seems to me somebody should be looking closely at Hampton and everybody else involved in this whole sordid episode. https://twitter.com/jpanzer/status/1525117683934515200?s=20

Bill introduced yesterday with 40 co-sponsors:

"Under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment to
10 the Constitution of the United States, Donald J. Trump
11 is ineligible to again hold the office of President of the
12 United States, or to hold any office, civil or military, under
13 the United States. "

Well, you'd better hurry if you want this passed...

The phrase “don’t piss on our legs and tell us it’s raining” comes to mind here.

Maybe in our next supreme court justice confirmation hearing we should incorporate a flag raising / lowering contest. This seems to be a problem area for certain supreme court justices.

He is big mad. And it’s all our fault, according to him.

The NYT already has eyewitnesses showing this part of Alito’s story is a lie.

Alito: I have so little agency in my life, I am not allowed to manage political flags flying over my own home.

Also Alito: No one can reasonably question my judicial independence

‘The posts, which have been reviewed by NBC News, appear on many of the same websites used by Trump supporters to organize for violence ahead of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.’

The FBI had better take these insurrectuonists seriously this time.
