there are way too many generations of Pauls and each new one is, unbelievably, worse than the last

I hate Trump but hate bike lanes wayyyyyy more.

Nobody is doing faux centrist fedsockism like Will Baude, truly a master of the form

If you zoom out just a little it’s dead obvious how the 6 justices in black robes are fighting for the same cause as the guys in white robes 100 years ago and the guys in gray coats 160 years ago

tfw you're definitely not a political actor

ah there it is again, the classic political consultant mistake of confusing "voters like authenticity" with "voters like big dumb dumbs who talk like babies"

Tried to catch the rainbow and lightning photobombed my iPhone shot. #WXsky #ILwx

today I learned that the freedom of speech guy in the meme was a real guy who opposed rebuilding a school after the old one burnt down because it would increase his taxes. this country is so consistent sometimes

Gotta respect 1910s America’s prohibition effort. If the U.S. tried to ban alcohol today the Supreme Court would say it violates religious freedom and Congress would let InBev and Applebees produce and sell it

The best part of this is that we'd get to do the IL-9 primary over again

Science: Doritos are delicious but they aren’t good for you Bluesky: wow ok slow down RFK JR conspiracy theory much?

relatedly, why would I ever want to start my microwave from my phone? what's the scenario where I leave food in the microwave and then some time later, when I'm in a different room, decide I want to heat it up? what?

This is what we in the business call “shitposting”

For some reason I keep reading the word “evacuated” in the gastrointestinal sense and it’s not exactly making the whole scene any more fun to imagine

in ancient rome, every mom was a wine mom... and they conquered the world... much to consider...

john roberts, alone in his study, scribbling furiously in a notebook: but it’s only nonjusticiable if, uh, the gerrymander targets, uh, urban areas, because the founding fathers were, uh, farmers… yes… that’s something… yes…

Look, I generally don't endorse dancing on anyone's grave. But I make an exception for the guy who is buried under this ballet studio.

Periodic reminder that the only actual assassination attempt on a member of the federal judiciary in recent years was perpetrated by a lawyer who shares Sam Alito’s “anti-feminist” ideology

one little factoid in here that was new to me: antonin scalia’s last act on earth was voting to block the clean power plan

Probably just a coincidence that the law professors defending insurrectionist John Eastman are the same guys arguing against birthright citizenship, in no way reflective of a world view on who the law protects vs binds

this is the most recent batch of Trump judicial nominees

Genuinely funny that Sonia Sotomayor issued a public apology today for her mild criticism of a conservative colleague on a specific, substantive issue, and then a few hours later Clarence Thomas picked up a mic and was like ALL LIBERALS ARE AMERICA-HATING COWARDS

I was offered a SCOTUS clerkship my first day of law school. Turned it down. I had better things to do

Underneath those robes lies a bloody secret... In John Grisham's newest thriller, ZODIAC JUSTICE, the highest court in the land faces down an old enemy--but this time, he's holding the gavel... and a knife.

Very suspicious seeing other people post about Myst. I was in that place for years and never saw any of you

Is Helen Andrews the new Matt Yglesias? Why do I keep seeing posts about this person I’ve never heard of until this week?
