What I first said in sarcasm I increasingly think is a real thing to consider: Move SCOTUS to a strip mall in rural Kansas. We canât fire them. Impeachment* is functionally dead. The 18-yr term thing is a fantasy. But we can kill a lot of their perks. Bet Kav would retire fast.

Maybe, and I'm spitballing here, women don't like waiting in hospital parking lots until they are near death to have life-saving abortions. Maybe they enjoy having a bank account and jobs and voting rights. Maybe they don't want a court judge to decide if they deserve a divorce. Wow, what a mystery.

The only thing that's interesting about Nuzzi is the story of how an amoral careerist with no interest in policy and abysmal ethics became an acclaimed national political reporter. But rather than tell that story, the entire media seems desperate to play a part in it.

the Democratic Party should have 2 major goals for the next time it holds power: (1) completely rebuild the destroyed federal government capacity, and (2) crush the GOP, which enabled so much corruption and immiseration. destroy their funding, jail their leaders, make it so a new party has to emerge

There is absolutely nothing old or consolidated about *multiracial, pluralistic democracy* in America. It only started 60 years ago. And the conflict over whether or not it should be allowed to endure and prosper has been the central fault line in U.S. politics ever since.

My three-year-old was reading the Epstein emails when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why is the nice orange man joking with the sex offender on his computer?" And when I told her "Because women made it impossible to joke in the workplace," she started crying.

Of course there's a difference, and it's reflected in many state laws. But . . . that isn't the point. Middle-aged men coercing sexually mature but underage girls into sex is still illegal, exploitative, and vile. "But they weren't 8-year-olds!" is a really weird thing to say.
