If Rs win in 2028 and replace Sotomayor, it's gone. I don't know why a bloc of left-wing voters convince themselves "the court shouldn't matter, you can't blackmail me" but that happens every decade and a half for some reason

the commutation was an abuse of power since she was utterly unrepentant and he knew it, it was timed in a way to foil the legislature responding which was another abuse of power and this is insult to injury, he should be impeached

What does Jake Tapper consider a good use of his attention as a primetime cable news host? Well, here he is asking Dan Goldman, who lost his seat to Mamdani-endorsed Brad Lander by 31 points, if he thinks Zohran Mamdani is a secret antisemite.

I disagree slightly here. I don't think Klein is into this stuff, I think he values what he sees as civility and collegiality with far-right racists as fellow "intellectuals" more than he does having values, and that effectively makes him a useful idiot for promoting their views.

As with some other things, i suspect if we have another dem president we will discover that the court did not so much transfer power to the executive as to themselves, ie they will find novel bullshit reasons to block a dem president the same way the find novel bullshit reasons to enable trump

Enjoy this article from a Minnesota newspaper in 1882 noting that Scandinavians love their home countries so much that it will take them generations to assimilate into America.

tbh it was crazy how SCOTUS's take is "you can only ever accuse people of racism when they explicitly say 'I am being a racist'" but with the Haiti comments they don't even think that's enough evidence anymore

would/could there be any two-way contracts (potentially) announced by the Pacers tonight if they don’t trade back in, or are all their current guys on two-year deals? I know this front office likes the two-year approach. Just prepping myself for how quiet tonight could be.

The theory that “electable” means “work to appease right-wing bigots under the assumption that majorities agree with them, at least partially, and they prioritize it when voting” has been tried. It has failed. Try something else.

Low-hanging fruit for journalists: ask Gill what Bonhoeffer did. High likelihood Gill answers with neo-Nazi esoterica about how Bonhoeffer was a traitor who was lawfully executed for attempting a violent overthrow of the State. (On Hitler's orders, he was given a show trial then murdered.)

the US president, with the explicit support of the US legislature and the US supreme court, is stealing billions of dollars in thousands of ways. meanwhile the NYT is on the case of whether, when mamdani paid a thousand dollars for a knicks ticket out of his own pocket, he got a ticket for VIPs

Spurs are doing this with basically nothing from their touted vets. Former clutch player of the year (Fox) with consecutive careless turnovers and current 6MOTY (Johnson) is borderline unplayable unless you’re trying to hard foul people.

surely now that tanking has been “resolved” there will be a renewed focus on addressing the aspiration and gambling scandals instead of hyper-fixating on how AI can fix the all-new, never-before-seen flopping issues

what makes the SCOTUS Gang of Six acting as an unaccountable super-legislature especially intolerable is that they are not just setting up unfavorable rules, they are playing Calvinball where they selectively apply the rules case-by-case exclusively to help Republicans. A judicial dictatorship

Trump knows that everyone understands what "Low IQ person" means when he says it but the press isn't willing to write it. He knows they will always cover for him and he loves that he can get away with it. He's used so many old timey racist terms he hopes no one knows but he also does this
