I keep asking myself this. I'm cis, so I don't hear everything, but who is out there lobbying anyone to be trans?

This is ludicrous. The charge may be the same, but the facts are utterly different. This is the sort of thing you say when you’re looking for an excuse to capitulate without it seeming like capitulation. Nobody familiar with both cases could seriously claim they’re remotely analogous.

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court. That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits. Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

lmfao get wrecked

ok I would definitely watch baseball if each team got one (1) animal to let loose during the game. when will you use your animal delay. what animal will you choose

Agree with this take. Sotomayor was clear and correct: "Until defendants try to obtain relief from New York’s highest court, this Court cannot and should not act." SCOTUS' opinion is a legal nullity. About as binding as shouting, "I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY!"

It is alarming to see how many people are reacting to some bullshit Marco Rubio spitballed to the press by saying, "Hmmm maybe we DO have a Zionist occupied government."

Letting Fetterman score clean dunks like this is a threat to national security

Imagine thinking that there would be a payout mechanism under these circumstances, or any means of enforcing it.

we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping

Going to remind everyone that there is a *criminal* federal conflict-of-interest statute.

Welp I guess there’s no way to earn the votes of young men other than by courting and vocally backing the three fraudulent industries that are absolutely ruining their lives.

The White House has helped MAGA influencers escape the Middle East on a private jet while more than a million ordinary Americans are still trapped with no way out.

We also just murdered this guy’s parents, his wife, and his son so good luck getting a peace deal

I wish some major media outlets would do broad reports on the impact of death threats on our politics, and on who's doing them (MAGA men mostly from what I can tell), and why law enforcement appears to be doing so little about them. They are such a big (submerged) part of our politics now.

Oh man, I remember in the Avengers movie where Thanos says “I am inevitable,” and Iron Man says, “Yeah, I guess so” and just gives up.

The Justice Department has withheld thousands of documents from the Epstein files, including FBI documents that detailed a woman’s unverified allegations of sexual misconduct against President Trump, according to a review by WSJ. on.wsj.com/4crnNVt

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

I just left a classified briefing with the Trump Administration about the war in Iran. I was worried before, but I’m more worried now.

As a trainee historian, as a lawyer doing investigations, I promise you, I never knew what I had gathered from my research until I started actually writing my narrative. YOU CANNOT SEPARATE THE TWO!

Aaron Sorkin gets an entirely deserved amount of criticism on the left, but damn if Dana's "I have seen enough to know that I have seen enough!" rant, capped off by Isaac's return, isn't still perfect. (Not the musical cues, mind you, but IIRC the network interfered on sound all the way through S1.)

I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.

I know that a short-form post which may be seen out of context doesn't always allow for the necessary nuance, but I wish to God people would learn to recognize that one does not necessarily approve of every aspect of a situation one is describing.

Extra verbiage. Glad it’s sorted. 🙄

Don't like that!

Public pressure means something. Primaries can change policies. In NY-10, Dan Goldman has been running ads for months. Primaried from his left by @bradlander.bsky.social, Goldman’s ads have gone from “Agents should have to carry ID” in January, to big bold graphics this month that say “Abolish ICE.”

I feel very strongly about not mutilating dogs' ears or tails for "aesthetics" but I also know that many dogs, especially of certain breeds, that are subjected to these barbaric practices also end up as rescues, thus I can't pass judgment every time I see one. Could social media internalize this?

From the perspective of a year later, there have been countless nasty shocks since then. But, for me, that first surrender by Paul Weiss remains the nastiest shock of them all. Staggering. Tectonic. And I heartily share Chris's appreciation for the firms that stood up.

Absolutely. And the administration lawyers who worked on these blatantly viewpoint-based EOs against law firms, or on similarly lawless retaliation measures against universities, should feel a permanent sense of shame. They won't. But they should.

Awful big talk for a guy who lost three f-15s to friendly fire this morning.

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

Oh, really? Were the strikes kinetic in nature? Was their synergy between the warfighting paradigms? Did you all ideate a 360-degree workaround for the blockchain?

Trump: "Finally, we honor one more American soldier, a fallen warria of world. Of wars. And really, terra.”

The way sitting politicians can say this stuff about Muslims while facing zero consequences is an indication of just how entrenched Islamophobia still is in our institutions and culture.
