If the ballroom gets built, the next President should just start knocking down the Supreme Court building one day. Throw up some cubicles in the ballroom and tell them they can work out of there until a new one is built.

I'd go further. This SCOTUS isn't democratically legitimate, but there are other sources of legitimacy: legal/rational legitimacy is also available to courts that abide by the rule of law. But the Roberts Court doesn't even have that. It is *categorically illegitimate.*
5 out of the 6 Supreme Court Justices who gutted the Voting Rights Act were nominated by a president who came into office having lost the popular vote.
70% of Americans support the John Lewis VRA.
The Supreme Court is historically unpopular.
It is not a democratically legitimate institution.

My first political memory - exactly 62 years ago right now, a 4-year-old boy trying to understand his mom's tears - is still the biggest event in my lifetime. We still (IMO) don't *really* know who killed JFK, but we know the public's trust was shattered. It's a straight line to today's mess

An estimated 93,000 will die a premature death due to the loss of SNAP between now and 2039.
The ‘Make America Healthy Again’ party would rather people sink deeper into poverty and food insecurity than get the essential assistance they need to buy groceries.

The mainstream media is way too silent on Trump‘s enablers, his staff that is cooking up all these weird and radical schemes. For Pete’s sake, Trump doesn’t even know what he might be doing, let alone how to execute these absurd authoritarian ploys. EXPOSE THEM. Some are soluble in sunlight. :-)
