I am struck that the political theory of MAGA in Trump 2.0 is the GOP can win without sound or moral government if everyone throws red meat to the cameras as the occasional bribe. You see it with Trump, Patel, Hegseth, all of them. Anyway, Trump's approval is at, like, -23, so...no luck on that.

Staples Rezoning: Results
STATEMENT FROM COUNCIL MEMBER
KAYLA SANTOSUOSSO
For the last several months I have been in negotiations with the developers for the Staples property. While this is likely one of the last rezoning votes I can make in Bay Ridge, negotiations were still heavily shaped by the charter changes that take effect in January.
The developers made clear that if the Council did not approve a modified project, they would take advantage of the new rules to resubmit at their original building - or an even bigger, denser building - for expedited approval and with no wins for our community.Staples Rezoning: Results

SCOTUS has also been On This in a bipartisan fashion for decades, I want to say in the late 80s Congress had to pass a law specifically overturning a SCOTUS ruling on corruption and clarifying that the holding was absolutely not what Congress fucking meant

you only have to read the Court's public corruption jurisprudence to realize that a bipartisan belief on SCOTUS is that it is almost ipso facto impossible for a public official to commit a crime related to the office they hold. which is insane when you spell it out, but also an accurate summation.

His comparison is also bogus. Anticommandeering has much more direct textual basis (enumerated powers and the lack thereof; Tenth Amendment) whereas presidential immunity is blasting an entirely atextual hole in powers Alito does not deny Congress obviously has as to everyone else in the country.

"America first" means waiting until outbreaks of disease get here and then also not doing anything about them here
CLOSING SHOP — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has started closing its offices abroad as President Donald Trump’s “America First” approach to foreign policy takes hold, Carmen reports.

Current and former CDC officials say they expect more than a dozen foreign offices to close in the next few years. The agency’s offices in Angola and South Sudan closed last week, and the Zimbabwe office is set to close at year’s end.
