Yes. And have each SCOTUS seat come from each of the 13 federal district courts. And have each court give an en banc nomination from their jurisdiction of justices to fill SCOTUS, confirmed by Senate. Reg SCOTUS decisions from random 3-person panels, any group of 7 can force en banc SCOTUS decisions

Any chance for a class-action lawsuit? I would join

How much money has the DoD lost this year on missiles

Dystopia no matter how you slice it. A party that has gone completely off the rails and an opposition party that behaves like lunch detention will stop the bullies

Come on then, and remove him.

If only a dozen Republicans in Congress found the will, they could impeach and remove him today.

So the guys who profited off other people’s content accidentally exposed their code, which is now being rewritten into open source apps without their permission. Glorious irony. cybernews.com/tech/claude-...

AMEN sister

If a candidate for office won’t commit to accountability hearings from Day One, don’t vote for them.

They’re so revoltingly sordid and reprehensible. The most fragile of snowflakes that they can’t abide an OLIVE BRANCH symbol. Their machismo is certifiably full-tilt fascist.

They’ve become so transparently desperate to cheat

The Trump Administration can’t even impose its will on Minneapolis when the full force of the federal government was focused on it, but surely they will be able to pacify and remake Iran, a nation of 90 million people halfway around the world.

I remember when trying to forgive student loans was massive overreach of Presidential power.

The idea of a legislative body representing the population having the ability to check the ultimate power of a country’s leader sounds really neat. Someone should write that down.

Utah’s legislature is nonsensical, out of touch, and now chasing phantoms

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

Impeachment and removal now. Abolish ICE. Reform SCOTUS. Retire GOP.

This x1000000

This nearly perfectly describes what I’ve struggled to articulate this past decade

And this is why the mass information echochamber is so maddeningly unreal and fake

Isaiah 5:20: “Woe unto them that call evil good, and [Renee] Good evil.”

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Millions of Americans watched a middle-aged US citizen get shot in the face and killed by an ICE officer today. That's a level of national trauma that deserves a more respectful response from this administration than falsely claiming she's a domestic terrorist. We have lost our moral compass.

Who will be the first member of Congress to introduce legislation named after Renee Good that abolishes DHS?

Guy on CNN just now cited Maduro's election loss and subsequent refusal to cede power as a justification for removing him. Irony's time of death, 6 Jan 2021.

I’ve seen a million media stories about how sad Republican voters in CA are about losing their Republican representatives. But I don’t think I’ve seen a single one talking about Demoratic voters in Texas, or North Carolina, or Missouri losing their representatives.

In an MHA presentation about Fanny W. Custer, I described but didn’t explain my pronunciation of “Alger.” Here are my receipts. (Let’s not use the name “Fanny Alger” to serve as a shibboleth of technical vs. amateur understanding of this woman and her life story.) davidgolding.com/pronouncing-...

Totally redesigned my personal website, top to bottom. First complete update in over a decade. (Fingers crossed I didn’t miss anything!) davidgolding.com

Trump threatened Indiana Republicans that if they didn't do what he wanted, he'd block all federal funds to their state but they ignored his threats and told him to pound sand. Take notes, college presidents.

Hegseth watches Clear and Present Danger thinking Harrison Ford is the bad guy and Henry Czerny is the hero

It'd be great if they did this when it didn't personally involve their own families, but baby steps I guess.

I'm building an Obsidian plugin that provides a canvas for long form writing. The idea is to have a distraction-free writing interface geared toward writers, not "hacking" a way for Markdown to provide a typographically aesthetic environment. github.com/davidgolding...

I haven’t used Google search in a solid year and haven’t missed it

Call me an effete liberal snob but I like that Mayor Wu can do this. I like having a mayor who has a developed inner life, who doesn’t give the impression of being hollowed of everything but ambition.

With every passing day, America needs a bigger third reconstruction.

Absolutely. Dodgertown should put on the pressure: no ICE raids, no national guard in our cities, no White House visit

What an epic World Series. Ended basically in the early innings of game 9. Such great teams facing off, heroes all the way around. The trophy comes back to LA!

LET FREEMAN RING

My own college football ranking system: davidgolding.com/rankings It's based on measuring teams' record of performance, capability, and basically sorting out the field on a philosophy of present superiority, not head-to-head prediction or blue-blood bias.

Why do all the cries for making the United States “great” again come from people who also advocate and support an undemocratic president and seem very much okay with the idea of an authoritarian “king?” The single most UNAMERICAN thing you can do is be pro-authoritarian and pro-monarch.

A phenomenon exacerbated by social media algorithms and engagement-bait media. Public perception gets warped by the blatant suppression of newsworthiness

America! Your expats and your friends are *always* with you! Sending you love and courage and #NoKings solidarity and frog costumes from Melbourne, Australia. Make fascism history again!

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

Trump has sought emergency intervention by the SCOTUS 28 times in the first eight months of his new term, more than Bush, Obama and Biden did combined over 20 years. He's using SCOTUS as an extralegal battering ram against the federal courts. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...
