You can analyze the Callais opinion using legal tools, in which case nothing makes sense, or you can analyze it as a partisan political maneuver, as Adam Serwer does, in which case the world makes sense again. We're in a dark and threatening world in which Jim Crow is back and dominant.

The John Roberts Court has done more to reduce the political power of poor people and Black people while enlarging the voting rights of rich people and corporations than has any court since Roger Taney was Chief Justice in the 1800s. I opposed his nomination in 2005, and I stand by that.

Big court date for the InfoWars takeover tomorrow. Cross fingers, knock on wood, send one up. We're hoping our agreement with the families and receiver is greenlit by the judge, despite Alex's hate campaign against them all. If we win, expect an Emergency Broadcast. Stay tuned, and wish us luck.

Don't call it "expanding" SCOTUS. And, for God's sake, don't call it "court-packing." Call it **right-sizing** the Court. (There are 13 circuits now -- not the 9 circuits there were when it was set at 9 justices 157 effing yrs ago!) Or call it *modernizing* the Court. Thank you.

France is switching from Microsoft to Linux "We must become less reliant on American tools and regain control of our digital destiny.

Péter Magyar victory speech: "We want to make a country where no one is persecuted because they think differently or because someone loves in a different way to others." He may not have campaigned as a liberal. But this is a huge change of direction and rhetoric from Orbán’s anti-LGBTQ+ crusade.

The most complex part of Obama's Iran negotiations were (reportedly) on the nature, structure and limits of inspections and verifications. Because there was no trust, the US needed a lot of "enforcement" (verification) to ensure Iran really wasn't enriching Uranium to weapon's grade.

Very Ukrainian accent: "Oh Mr Vance, is it hard to negotiate peace? Is it difficult to come to a deal when both sides have fundamentally irreconcilable positions on key issues? Does not being able to trust your counterparty make things tricky? Why do you hate peace, Mr Vance?"

The split screen of Trump and Rubio strutting around a professional wrestling match as Vance announces he's quitting negotiations with the Iranians without any agreement would lead any observer to conclude that Trump was never serious about peace talks.

Trump slammed for attending a UFC fight while Vance was negotiating with Iran last night. Negotiations have failed.🤷🏾‍♀️

When I was a freshman at Harvard I remember getting a training about how to avoid a cult and the two main pieces of advice is beware of people who try to control your money or cut you off from friends and family. I thought this was silly. But Epstein was around Cambridge simultaneously.👀‼️

Trump & Orban have a lot in common, They both are enthralled by Vladimir Putin and are far-right grifters. And of the first major chinks in Orban’s armor was a scandal involving the sexual abuse of minors. Similarly, it’s starting to look like the Epstein scandal might bring down Trump yet. #Amanda

THIS. One of the things that absolutely disgusts me re: Epstein case (reported in FL newspapers in 2000s) - his lawyers worked to discredit girls/very young women. You can read later emails among US attorneys asking how best to shield girls bc lawyers were showing up ON THEIR COLLEGE CAMPUSES.

I would add that until you read the Epstein files and see how a guy can be guilty with literally hundreds of victims and dozens of testimonies of victims in literal repeated child rape, then see his consequences get whittled down to "13 months and I get to rape more kids besides", shut up...

Are you guys aware that ICE is funded through September 2029? That’s why a partial government shut down won’t affect them and why they’ll now be doing domestic terrorism at airports. None of this stuff is legitimate. It’s all illegal and unconstitutional. Don’t ever get confused about it.
