What Would and Should Court Reform Look Like? talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/what-...

😳

this is absolutely wild. where does roberts think these agencies come from?!? who invested them with authority to act? whose mandate are they designed to execute? the president is the chief EXECUTive. his job is executing the will of Congress as it spells out in its duly-passed laws!

I actually think this statement is a big deal. Because it tells you all you need to know. They believe, in their bones, in an imperial presidency where the executive rules absolutely and uses his power to destroy enemies and enrich himself.

@ferries.wsdot.wa.gov I know you guys are struggling -- and we appreciate the hard work! -- but the website booking system. 😓 I just had it crash after selecting a payment method and now get 'service unavailable' errors. Can we not find some funds to update the booking system?

Michelle Obama notes that Barack accomplished "winning a peace prize" 😆

I don't care if you're not a Knicks fan. I don't care if you're not a New Yorker. Watch this speech.

Aerial PARTIAL view of the anti racist, anti fascist crowd in Belfast right now. City Hall to the left for scale. This - this is the real Belfast. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

I don't know who made this, but it's perfect. 10/10, no notes.

Hell yes! ✊🇺🇸

You don't usually rely on Iran's Fars News Agency for unvarnished truth-telling, but we can make an exception in this case.

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

OPALCO’s board voted to respect a 3.82-acre Native Growth Area covenant tied to its proposed Decatur Island solar expansion, reversing an earlier push to revise the protected area.

@joshtpm.bsky.social again with an absolutely spot-on analysis. You Can Have Democratic Self-Government or the Corrupt Court — Not Both talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/you-c...

Dems don't need to hide behind polling to push for #SCOTUS expansion when they get back in power. Good reflections from @brianbeutler.bsky.social on how many here on bluesky and elsewhere have already done the leg work. Dems just need to move on it.

The question of whether or not to expand the Court, then, is merely prudential. And prudence, indeed, will dictate that we should do it:

If you live in Virginia, tomorrow you have a huge opportunity to make it clear to the GOP that if they want to win, it won’t be by changing the rules and redrawing maps. At least, not without a fight. Vote YES on the redistricting vote, and push back!

Important stuff here from @davidkurtz.bsky.social. Trump isn’t a normal president getting upended by business cycles and trends outside his control. All the challenges/crises facing the US economy today are unequivocally the results of Trumps actions talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

It's the world most folks are living in but, damn, it's ultimately pretty depressing.

My big takeaway from reporting this story is that it's not JUST about the Forest Service. The closure of these stations threatens to upend a delicate system of mutually beneficial collaboration and resource sharing, and the impacts will ripple out far beyond the Forest Service itself.

Magyar, closing his speach, now calling for accountability for those who turned on Hungarians. Refusing to be a country w/o consequences.

This is the way.

Anti-Orban concert in Hungary with the audience chanting “Russians, go home”

Can't believe the combined efforts of Donald Trump, JD Vance, Vladimir Putin, Sergi Lavrov, Alice Weidel, Javier Milei, Marine Le Pen, Robert Fico, Andrej Babiš were unable to convince the people of Hungary to resist the efforts of a globalist cabal trying to sell out their country to foreigners

Gen X collectively reliving Challenger, Columbia and Cold War nuclear holocaust anxiety all in the same week is a fucking lot, y'all.

TACO Tuesday has arrived, thankfully. Now what are the country's leaders going to do to make sure that it doesn't happen again?

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV declares the Iran War is “unjust” and “is not resolving anything.” After suggesting Trump is committing war crimes by targeting civilian infrastructure, he called on Americans to contact Congress to help end the war.
