“Pundits thought this was a cultural shift because they wanted to believe it was a cultural shift...If it took pundits this long to realize that the vibe shift was illusory, it's because they wanted it to be real” Now it’ll once again be about how Dems must compromise for unity and country’s sake

Accepting the (wrong) premise, if Congress created agencies and officers structured unconstitutionally, then the rule of law result would be striking down their existence and powers entirely. Instead the Court treats it like a one-way ratchet: grants of power by Congress upheld, limits struck down.

The right takes academia seriously, and is pouring money into neutering it. Would be good to see left wing politicians taking academia equally seriously, and taking action to support it

What do you mean abolishing ICE is not doable? It was created in 2003. There are Missy Elliot songs older than ICE.

Remembering a favorite remark from Claude Chabrol,
#BornThisDay
in 1930. A journalist observed to Chabrol that his idol Fritz Lang was fervently anti-Nazi, yet fascinated by Nazis; and Chabrol in turn was fascinated by creeps. “Yes,” Chabrol replied, “because I am so strongly anti-creep.”

And the New York Times - which has obsessively covered minute aspects of the gender affirming care fight - chose not to cover this, or a major study finding anti trans laws increase calls to suicide hotlines, or many other stories that don't fit their agenda.

When you see the phrase “cast a spell,” do you interpret “cast” as meaning to hurl/launch/send forth, or do you interpret “cast” to mean mold/shape/form?
