Democratic leadership is signaling in bright flashing lights that they won't do shit about the court even if they win. Unless something massive changes (like they don't get the nominees they want), I think that's the safest bet as to what will happen.

Sandra’s brother, Norman Wong, said there was a broader lesson to be taken from Wong Kim Ark’s legacy and today’s ruling. “All Americans need to stand up for their rights,” Wong said. “Our rights are not privileges, and we can’t let the government or anyone in it take them away.”

The Wong Kim Ark case reaffirmed today isn't ancient history. His great-grandchildren, Sandra and Norman Wong, are still here, and still proud Americans.

The 17th Amendment is the one that says US Senators must be elected by the people — rather than appointed by state legislatures. They want to make it so we don’t get to choose our own Senators.

These are general skills for life yall. There are so many burgeoning hate movements that need something to say to Ezra Klein when he invites you on for a cordial interview

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.

I don't think people understand the degree to which outlets like The Atlantic and The New York Times set back trans rights with second-rate reporting that doesn't stand up now, let alone in the future. They have failed at the most basic journalistic duties.

A Tesla in automated mode killed a pedestrian for the first time in 2023. The case has been settled out of court, as almost all of the others have. A huge failure of social learning www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Ezra Klein sitting down for his journalistic interview with Chris Rufo

To start, Rufo says, "The left is over-institutionalized, and the right is under-institutionalized." Klein chips in with, "I say this all the time, man. The left is overformed by institutions, the right is underformed." What? Where is the left wing Federalist Society, Fox News, or Turning Point?/4

In the last few years, I doubt the New York Times has platformed any activist/intellectual more than Chris Rufo. Although he tries in place, I don’t think Ezra Klein follows through nearly as rigorously as necessary in this interview./1 www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/o...

god I hate these people there's a $100,000 fellowship to PROPOSE WHATEVER YOU WANT FOR A YEAR to shrink government at Cato right now!

The Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, for example, should be dissolved, permanently, its editors named and shamed. To practice law is a privilege to which such peevish people should not be honored.

On first read, I don't see any acknowledgement from Kavanaugh that school sports are supposed to be fundamentally educational programs, which is why (in theory) they exist in the first place, and why excluding an entire class of people from them is wrong. It's all just rhetoric about "zero-sum."

As Kagan sharply points out, Kavanaugh's opinion simply transforms Thomas' dissent in that 2001 case into controlling law of the land. She highlights how radically the newer justices have changed campaign finance precedent. Whole thing feels like a farce. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

8 "Antifa" members just got a combined 450 years in federal prison. The prosecution leaned heavily on an "expert" witness who never spent a day in government or academia - but who spent years at pro-Israel advocacy orgs: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/450-years-...

Qualified immunity is a Calvinball nonsense doctrine, woven ex nihilo by the US Supreme Court Its sole purpose is to protect government officials from the consequences of their own bad decisions, when they violate the rights of the citizenry It has no basis in any law passed by Congress 1/

Lebanese government's "agreement" with Israel (which effectively puts it under US-Israeli custodianship and legitimizes the occupation of 6% of the land and permanently displacement of 1,200,000 people) unsurprisingly does not have the buy-in to last

Good on @jbpritzker.bsky.social www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/06/gov-...

We have Slaughter and Cook. By a 6–3 vote, SCOTUS overturns Humphrey's Executor and lets Trump fire heads of independent agencies. But by a 5–4 vote, it refuses to let him fire Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p... www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

The remaining months of Newsom's term will be dedicated to placating and pleasing Silicon Valley billionaires. Remember: This guy promised single-payer healthcare and didn't even try. Now he's working to kill a billionaire tax that would help offset $100 billion in Trump cuts to healthcare.

Cops are defunding YOU www.minnpost.com/glean/2026/0...

The three branches of the United States government, as delineated in the Constitution, are the God Emperor, The High Council of the Six Ayatollahs, and the Federal Reserve

"Mistakenly, we thought that by just introducing artificial intelligence and ingesting the design requirements that we had, that that would produce a high-quality product." Holy cow, Ford bought the AI hype, believing they could go "hey computer, make me a good car" and it would.

So traffic under the "ceasefire" peaked at under 25% of prewar levels. And reserves and stockpiles keep doing down. But oil futures are also going down. Must be one of those "efficient markets" at work.

After federal agents shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, a New Yorker sent ICE's director an email in January comparing him to a Nazi. This week, DHS agents stalked him across New York. His home. A hotel. They gave his wife a letter warning of criminal prosecution. www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

Sentenced to 30 years for ZINES. Utter bullshit.

Usually these political corruption maps have complicated plumbing. You know it’s bad when it’s just a closed loop that looks like an inbred family tree.

"Uncivil, a consortium of scholars and researchers of which Moreton is a member, found that 20 out of the 23 foundations most active in the pluralism and depolarization space also fund conservative policy networks or pro-Israel organizations."

Jesus. 68,900 reported missing in Venezuela.

yeah I love him but dude, why. kids are gonna follow your example and start swimming in their good suits!

New York City residents are celebrating the reopening of public pools — including Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who jumped into the water while wearing a suit at an East Harlem pool on Saturday. Outdoor public pools will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day through Sept. 13.

At lunchtime yesterday, Texas solar and wind generation crossed over 50 GW output for the first time ever. Together, the two sources supplied nearly two-thirds of Texan power needs at that time.

bezos-made centimillionaire has thoughts about the ineffectiveness of political spending: voters who prefer more genocide gotta roll up their sleeves and get organizing against radicals who prefer less of it

Jones left (or was pushed out) the board of the charity he founded during the summer of 2023. He launched a for-profit AI consulting firm some time earlier in 2025. www.rapport.co/about Andres said he donated a portion of it to his charity World Central Kitchen, which has been working in Gaza.

oh HE has opinions now?!?

pretty devastating dunk at the end of this paragraph

When I get around to writing my Elon Musk Sitcom, people will think it's a joke I made up when he starts calling a conventional fossil fuel pipeline "Starpipe" www.reuters.com/business/ene...

People often think of Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib as "so rabidly anti Israel" to the point that they are "antisemitic" but Omar gave her SOTU tickets to an Israeli hostage family and Tlaib is on the record opposing the expulsion of Jewish settlers from the West Bank.

One old trick in politics is to oppose something possible while calling for something impossible. Example: Here's Gavin Newsom leading the charge for a "national billionaires tax" while he and his paid goons work to kill a state billionaire tax. This allows him to be on both sides for 2028.

For those who struggle with the geography, Netanyahu's primary political rival wants to annex the orange

I was taken by Zeke Hausfather "So little has been done to avert fossil fuel emissions for so long..that there is little remaining choice [but to pursue carbon capture]". You might have noted that he runs Stripe's carbon program, which brings into question the objectivity he brings to such matters.

From the people who brought you “I, a conservative, am terrified to enter the city” comes “I am quaking in my boots at students sitting on a lawn”

Here’s some background on one of those papers, retracted more than 20 years later. Internal documents reveal their own scientists wrote the paper and then gave to others to publish. retractionwatch.com/2025/12/04/g...

Everybody needs to go hear Naomi Oreskes explain how Monsanto manipulated the science to obscure health concerns about Roundup — including ghost-writing papers that became touchstones in their denialism.

Dems have to run on this hard. Do not let the RFK types try to spin what his own party just signed off on here. Actual Monsanto, the comic book villain of Adbusters days, was shielded from liability over poisoning Americans. I don't care if it's slopulism: this Supreme Court wants you dead.

NHS England admits it has been lying about Palantir’s effectiveness. Whilst the systems we build ourselves are producing better results with faster systems and happier medics.
