I can't stand the cadence of his voice. The hip-hop/rap rhythm has crept into his speech patterns enough to be obnoxious. Once you hear it, you can't unhear it. Pure pomposity and a lame attempt to be one of the cool kids.

Such a great analysis of the red herring of "Polarization." So many excellent points. It's the antidote to the David Brooks viewpoint. CC: @upine.bsky.social & @mickeleh.bsky.social & @bistatelady.bsky.social I think you would find this of interest.

Leave no trace? Not if you’re Donald Trump. Under his administration, long-standing public land protections have been rolled back, and history erased. “There’s a reversal that’s taken us back 100 years,” said Ken Salazar, former Secretary of the Interior.

Trump’s deal with Putin has nothing to do with providing diesel fuel, and everything to do with trying to shift the blame onto a nation fighting for survival.

Trump’s Russian diesel deal is a disgusting scam
Trump’s deal has nothing to do with lowering the price of diesel. It’s all about passing the buck.

Y’all acting like you’ve never seen an octogenarian drug addict POTUS let his alcoholic Fox-n-friends Sec Def livestream a wheelchair-bound paraplegic firing squad execution while cutting diesel deals w/Putin because he’s worked w/Russian mob for decades, esp w/Epstein, before?

It’s really remarkable to me that 10 years into this people feel compelled to “clarify” Trump’s homicidal and often genocidal fantasies. It is deranged for the president to daydream about American cities in states he hates getting blown up. Full stop.

the birthright citizenship question is, to me, the clearest evidence that originalism as practiced is just living constitutionalism for right-wing jurists. the originalist answer is the conventional one is the textual one, but that was basically unacceptable to much of the right.

Mark Zuckerberg tells investors that his AI push is a huge success. But when it files its taxes, Meta tells the IRS its giant data centers are an experiment that might fail. Why? Because calling them an experiment lets Meta claim a tax credit meant for real research.

“It also sets the precedent for using this chilling tactic on any journalist or watchdog as it sees fit.“ Oregon cities are doing this over and over again, making it prohibitive for any independent journalist without a team of lawyers to get public records. It’s outrageous.

The thing about the death penalty has always been that it relies on an infallibility — after all, there's no reversing the punishment once administered — that no state in human civilization has ever achieved. But now there's another, rhyming problem: the state can't even properly administer it.

#SistersInLaw discussed the cruelty of Trump’s policy of sending immigrants to countries where they have no connection. Lower courts said no. Trump got the case to SCOTUS for the 3rd time and this time they allowed 3rd country removals until they rule in the merits. Shame on SCOTUS and Trump.

And men wonder why we pick the bear. At least it’s a beast that we know will behave a certain way. Male predators don’t think they are doing anything wrong, they feel entitled to take what they want when they want. And women are to keep quiet about it. Careers will be ruined if not.

Even if it were true that he was there, his fable doesn't make him look good. Last time I checked, getting in the middle of a disaster and needing rescue yourself isn't exactly helpful to the actual victims or the first responders you distracted from their mission.

@RepRaskin
Who Hatched this plan? Every other sitting U.S. Attorney General followed the Hatch Act and stayed away from political campaign rallies. But the handful of Americans tuning into tonight’s GOP midterm convention will be treated to the spectacle of Todd Blanche turning his office and the Department of Justice into partisan campaign props by becoming the first U.S. Attorney General in history to address a political party convention.
