We talk a lot about the importance of voting but in doing so, we romanticize it, and I've come to believe that's a mistake. It's not romantic, it's not glorious, it's not an expression of your ideals or your identity. It's selecting the best outcome for the most people. That's all it is. Do that.

"The Republican Congress bears no responsibility for prices, see, because that came from the war in Iran! And, as we all remember, we *completely* abdicated our constitutional duties when it came to that war and just hid under a pile of coats in the House cloakroom."

I guess nobody remembers the Foxconn promises to Wisconsin. Or Elon Musk promises about... pretty much everything.

Musk hopes to use taxpayer dollars to offset some of the costs associated with building the largest single property in the world. The project has filed eight tax incentive applications with the two local school districts, asking to freeze school maintenance and operations property taxes at roughly 48% of appraised value for 10 years per phase. Terafab is asking the state to cover the difference of the maintenance and operations (M&0) and interest and sinking (I&S) taxes using the Texas Jobs, Energy, Technology, and Innovation, or JETI, program.

Yes, Congress should be able to do these things. A court this contemptuous of Congress deserves to be packed by Congress, not only to correct these disastrous precedents but also because Congress needs to show both Article II and Article III who’s boss.

“On her view, Congress could commandeer the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Ser-vices, most (if not all) of the Department of Justice, and a number of other agencies besides. Indeed, if Slaughter were correct, then it is not clear why Congress would need to allow the President any say in firings at all”

To extend the analogy -- they have a vague, gnawing sense that even though they've made it, they're losing power and influence over the world around them. They're materially comfortable, but feel like they're shrinking. They think gaining political power will fill the void for them, but... /1

Depending on the specifics of how Trump decides to go down swinging rather than accept a lost midterm election, that thunder run cannot be ruled out. He might literally declare war on Canada or something during his final tantrum.

Virginia Democrats going to the Supreme Court—the very institution responsible for putting Trump above the law and facilitating Republicans’ efforts to disenfranchise Black and other minority voters—was a great example of the classic line “it’s better to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission.”
