I think the answer to point 4 is that there is a good chance this Court would declare other reforms to be unconstitutional encroachments on Article III. Court expansion is the only option that immediately puts people on the bench who can vote to uphold the other reforms.

I’d read a “best legislative proposals to regulate/outlaw prediction markets” piece.

Also, how much of that support comes from a non-trivial number of Democratic politicians actually calling for term limits (despite the constitutional obstacles)? Public opinion isn’t static and I suspect the more politicos actually call for expansion/restructuring, those numbers could move.

"A list obtained by The Washington Post reveals all the major donors to President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom project.... Tech giants Nvidia and Apple each committed $25 million....Absent from the list is Trump himself, who has said that he is helping to pay for the project."

Secret documents reveal donors behind $330 million for Trump’s ballroom

The records offer a panoramic view of a fundraising campaign that is extraordinary for its size and opacity.

strategic political capture of the court has, for 40 years, been a one-way ratchet. among other things, this has inculcated a sense among conservatives that they can act with virtual impunity. showing them that their opponents will play hardball is a necessary first step toward a better status quo.

The Kennedy Center is on the verge of destruction; the members of its board, filled with foreign policy grifters and billionaire wives, serve as a kind of cheat code for understanding the crimes of Trump 2.0. A great taxonomy to the staging behind the scenes: prospect.org/2026/10/13/k...

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

I saw some posts to that effect. And that would seem to make sense if this is all some ginned up immigration fraud investigation (though that’s way outside my area of expertise).

We've been boiled frogs for so long this never gets mentioned. But this violates DOJ policies that have been in place for decades, ones that Defense Attorney Todd Blanche said should have extended for the entirety of the time his client had declared his candidacy. (Tho I think this was DHS.)

Imagine if we just sell our entire diesel supply to Russia so they can inject massive quantities of fuel into the global market. Prices would surely plummet!

Ossoff is acting like Trump/MAGA/GOP and what they’ve done to the country is Actually Bad. Charismatic and well spoken, which sure helps. But no “my friends across the aisle,” no acting like the imaginary “Baileys” are the only ones who matter, no “don’t talk values, only kitchen table.” That’s it.
