Newly Unsealed Batch Of Epstein Estate Photos Contains Rare Holographic Dershowitz

what i mean is that miller has no deep commitment to "traditional" republican values; he doesn't care about low taxes, he favors large federal government over small, i'm not sure he even *believes* in personal liberty, he doesn't care about business, small or large, he's a single minded fanatic

This is basically $1 Sixers tickets. Go Birds.

i'll say this, though, i think habitual speeding and reckless driving offenses should be treated with the same kind of seriousness that DUI/DWAI offenses are, because, as a pedestrian, i'm far more likely to be hit by someone not paying attention or speeding while stone sober than someone drunk

As I never tire of reminding people, the two plausible alternatives to automated traffic enforcement are that we either rely on the discretion of individual police officers or we simply don't enforce traffic laws at all. We have been trying both alternatives now and they are failing us.

Every country that these people cite re: traffic calming also have much more stringent traffic enforcement than the U.S.

If what he's alleging is true (Nuzzi hasn't denied any of the accusations about her ethics as far as I'm aware), he should have come forward with it *sooner.* It's an extremely big deal that a national news reporter was actively aiding the campaign of an anti-vaxxer!

there are pundits who will say that immigration is trump's strongest issue and that picking fights around immigration helps him on the margins. but i think this misunderstands the way public opinion works, as evidenced by trump's declining fortunes on his handling of immigration.

It was the abandonment of the New Deal, catalyzed by McGovern's loss in 1972 and Reagan's win in 1980. Clinton was the first *triumph* of this strategy (even though it was a stretch to draw conclusions from the goofy 1992 3-way election) and we've been suffering since

The Democratic Party's formula for the last 50 years has been "Let's be friendly with extreme wealth and maybe we can also get modest policy wins sometimes." The last 10 years and this year in particular should be conclusive proof of how badly this has failed. But we're stuck with it anyway

If you had come to me twenty years ago and said “in 2025 Russell Brand will be a far-right pundit spreading antisemitic conspiracies and accused of multiple rapes” I would have said “seems entirely plausible, how about those future cars, are they cool?”

Slapping a "I bought this before we knew the Segway inventer hung out with Epstein" sticker on my Segway.

This is just some ordinary dude no one had ever heard of, quietly getting by, and the administration has decided in a fit of pique to hound him for the rest of his life because otherwise they'd have to tacitly admit they're capricious incompetent villains. Just let him live, ffs

Americans are not going to be happy when we get this shit returned to us

This was so bad on its own merits, but it also revealed that the pure popularists have no red lines. If you can't stand up for men being disappeared to a foreign torture prison without due process, then what's the point of you?

WOW; a DEEPLY corrupt move by the immigration courts; clear collaboration with Trump admin officials to produce a specific result with zero notice to the party and ALSO in a situation where the judge facially lacks jurisdiction; the judge had denied a motion to reopen and the case is on appeal.

Bad religion? poseur

Appreciate this letter from MN State Sen Jim Abler (R-Anoka) to POTUS

babe come look. they liquid death-ified retinol

my local Kurdish barbershop that I always go to was playing AI-generated SoCal hip-hop the other day that drove me absolutely insane. The absurd lyrics give it away, but if you don’t speak English it’s hard to notice in the background. I hate this new world

put aside the 14th amendment issues. At a certain point, when your organizing principle is defiance of the Constitution, you cannot claim to validly hold a role within the constitutional structure

Even before the two facts I wish more politicians understood and communicated: 1) Essentially no-one can 'afford to have children' (really only a small tranche of the people who privately educate can) 2) State pensions are *always* paid for by current taxpayers

A planned rule to set new silica exposure limits—and finally address Appalachia’s devastating black lung crisis—has been under continued assault by coal bosses and the Trump admin. Now, it looks like it’s off the table entirely. New for @inthesetimes.com: inthesetimes.com/article/the-...

It’s my hope that the generation of voters who have grown up since 2000, who have witnessed the degradation of democracy itself under these corrupt oligarchs, find and elect candidates with the courage to restore basic democracy to this country. It is, to me, the only issue.

To me the key lesson here is that an 09 and 21 voters gave us the chance to restore our democracy. Instead, we got the ACA and the fiscal stimulus/climate infrastructure under Biden. Both worthy outcomes, but not addressing the root problem that precludes more good outcomes and enables corruption.

100% agree. Ironically, this is the only version of "broken windows" that actually makes any sense, because it has to do with the individual behavior of one person going from getting away with small crimes to getting away with big crimes, instead of being some vague theory about general contagion.

Hitting cops with the broken windows policing reverse uno card

My hottest take is that letting cops park in red zones for mundane errands and coffee breaks; I think “you can break the law at your discretion as a job perk” is the small domino that ends in the large domino of “shooting protesters in the face with rubber bullets”

Hiring a bunch of babes in bikinis to stand on the side of the path that Sisyphus uses to push his rock up the hill. Asking Sisyphus later if that improved things any. He pauses thoughtfully before answering, "Yeah"

For people who like to distance Bush from Trump: Every Trump nomination to the Supreme Court was on the Bush legal team for this case.

For the uninitiated, the scrivener’s error doctrine allows you to correct typos, not retroactively conjure nonexistent orders into existence

It's heartening the leadership firewall against any talk of impeachment is breaking down, because it's so delusionally out of touch with reality. Either you mean what you say about the current anti-constitutional crime spree or you don't, and if you do, impeachment is the unavoidable implication.

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

shoutout to the crowd that insisted it was a political loser to stand up for abrego garcia’s rights

my radical labor history book has sold more than ten times as many copies as this one, do youse need a Philadelphia correspondent @vanityfair.com

Putting a black box warning on the COVID vaccine is well and truly unhinged and will get people killed, which is the goal of the Trump FDA

all i'm saying is that there were better options

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

Aside from how he's wrong right now on the history, process, strategy, and merits, this is Jeffries heavily signaling that even when they're in the majority, he'll oppose any impeachment that doesn't first get slow-walked in needless committee dithering for as long as he can delay it there.

It’s cliché, but how would Hakeem Jeffries behave differently on any important issues if he were a Republican? Average decent person: “What’s the point of the impeachment power if we don’t use it for these obvious crimes?” Jeffries: “That’s an excellent point. We should get rid of impeachment.”

we could break him so easily if we actually had an opposition party, it drives me fucking insane every single fucking day

The constitutional remedy for a president who attempts to abuse the pardon power to infringe on state rights is impeachment.

Giggling my fucking ass off at this silly ass shit

Impeachment is a tool for political accountability, not a “sacred” constitutional ritual. If it were truly about evidence, the Senate would’ve convicted Trump unanimously after his coup attempt—the same way every jury has unanimously found him liable or guilty when the facts actually matter.

Does he think, does he honestly think, the current insurance system gives normal people access to expensive care and medicine? Does he honestly think we didn't jump through different bureaucratic hoops and sign offs to see specialists now? Good Gd, rich people are dumb
