I do love that the two, entirely unrelated roles that people keep referencing him for are both named “Rupert”

Sotomayor comes very close to calling the supermajority a pack of liars for claiming in Callais that they weren’t requiring proof of discriminatory intent then turning around and doing exactly that here. This is a remarkably blunt and caustic accusation.

The Purcell principle now officially just means “Republicans win.” For the reasons Sotomayor lays out here, SCOTUS’s eleventh hour intervention for Alabama Republicans is indefensible. It’s going to unleash massive chaos on the ground for both voters and election administrators. What a disaster.

This heinous ruling confirms a worst-case-scenario reading of Callais as an all-purpose shield for racist lawmakers who want to gerrymander Black communities into electoral oblivion. And it’s outrageously partisan—a totally unprincipled gift to the GOP.

The new Republican taunt, calling James Talarico trans, is (yes) bait designed to trap or divide the left. But it's also a witch hunt in the classic sense of the term. A dangerous escalation of degenerate MAGA politics. And something Dems should address muscularly.

“Platner versus Collins” is a trivially easy test of whether you’re an adult with a functioning brain, or whether you have rearranged all your mental furniture to align with the consensus on a niche social network. And an extraordinary number of this site’s supposed Politics Knowers are failing it.

The Goldman analysis that the strait will open because of market forces is eerily reminiscent of Norman Angell’s argument in 1909 that modern commercial relationships and forces made great power war in Europe impossible.

this is correct. The usual Republican response - like SEC Chair Paul Atkins - is to say we need to relax IPO standards. That's exactly wrong -

i feel like the "story" of "Tilly Norwood", in terms of the newsworthy thing that's happening, would be a behind-the-scenes report on the company's PR team that keeps getting these articles placed in major news outlets and keeps getting them written with the company's preferred framing.

This is a very apt way of putting it: the problem with the Constitution of 1789 isn't so much that it's flawed (it surely is, but you can fix flaws with amendments) But rather that it has lapsed, that it is in abeyance
