Agree with all of the below, with this distinction: -Alito is the most *predictably* partisan-R member of the court. -Roberts is the most *consequentially* partisan-R member.

At a moment of real & rising antisemitism, extremism, & violence across the ideological spectrum, our communities deserve a whole-of-government response. This strategy marks an important step toward that goal — rooted in the recognition that Jewish safety and inclusive democracy must go hand-in-hand

Before midnight, DOJ told Judge Kelly the press ban of CNN, MSNow, Politico is based on their National Security reporting. But examples are core First Amendment protected reporting. First howler: WH says it is b/c POLITICO reported GOP Convention was a political disaster.
"In September 2026, Politico Playbook relied on unnamed sources to paint the Republican midterm convention in Dallas as a disaster."

The post-9/11 lionization of Giuliani rings hollow for many of us who lived and worked in lower Manhattan that day. He and his staff (along with Bush's EPA) frequently reassured us that the air quality was fine. It wasn't, as was apparent to anyone who was there on 9/11 and the weeks thereafter. 1/

So, let me get this straight, the US illegally attacks a country, kidnaps its president, threatens its government with massive military force, gets them to hand over to US control a huge portion of their national assets, hails the billions it has already brought in and promises billions more...

I really think it’s important to underline that there was apparently no security breach. The gunman was confronted and stopped where he should have been according to the design—at the magnetometer perimeter. What this piece argues for is an *expansion* of the security perimeter in time and space.
