Judges aren't just neutral umpires who call balls and strikes, they're competing on the field and making decisions that reflect their personal preferences. Eric Scarfee's latest looks at how the Supreme Court has devolved its neutrality in court and uses some recent cases to illustrate that.

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

When
#MAGA
and
#GOP
folks puff their chest and say “I am doing so well my way must be right” think of this. The fact your life is not “bad” is not proof that your way is right, it is proof that society has been very lenient toward you, despite your greed and trying to harm us all.

And for any conservative that gets bent out of shape over this. Replace the ill with another and see if you agree with the statement, ex: “what do you think of cancer treatment?” The redirect “I prefer we eliminate the cause so no one gets it.” Prevention is always better.

In Budapest, locals tore down Orban’s anti-Ukrainian posters and celebrated Magyar’s election victory in various ways. A Hungarian soldier shouted to the crowd from the stage that the government's attitude toward Ukraine had been absurd and had only weakened Hungary's position.
