Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson slammed the Supreme Court’s use of its “emergency docket,” saying it has allowed the Trump administration to advance a host of controversial policies while challenges play out in lower courts.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson criticizes Supreme Court’s use of emergency docket

In a public appearance, Jackson said the high court’s use of the emergency docket was “problematic” and called for more restraint from her colleagues when using it.

Trump realized he can claim the national security exemption in federal laws & regulations to get anything he wants. He is hellbent on destroying DC as we once knew it. 77M Americans voted to militarily occupy their own capitol city in perpetuity. I will never forgive them.

I learned this week that the New York Times was founded 175 years ago. There is a useful set of pieces floating around on this for journalism history buffs. But what struck me is that means the Times was founded 25 years *after* the black press which will celebrate its 200th birthday in a few months

Two things it’s hard to convey if you weren’t alive back then: the extremity of hysteria, nationalism and Islamophobia the attack prompted, and how efforts to capture this can inadvertently obscure how Islamophobic things already were.

This piece was fascinating, getting at a point I'd never considered: bin-Laden's entire concept about what 9/11 would do to America was just... wrong. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Bin Laden was equally clear about how he thought terrorism would yield his desired result. In a March 1997 CNN interview with Peter Bergen, he spoke of transferring “the battle into the United States.” In a May 2000 speech, he told supporters that the war would henceforth be waged “against the United States, in the United States.” Americans, he observed to ABC’s John Miller in 1998, cannot tolerate pain, and will react to attacks not by fighting back and blaming al‑Qaeda, but instead by asking “what their government has done that forced us to defend ourselves.” In a November 2001 interview, he hinted at a theory of political change in America: Its citizens should “take the same stand that they did previously,” when they protested the Vietnam War and the presidents who waged it.

Nelly Lahoud, a professor at the Army War College and the author of the definitive book on the Abbottabad documents, told me this political pipe dream was bin Laden’s whole plan: “to replicate the anti–Vietnam War movement of the United States, to get the American public to put pressure on the U.S. government to withdraw its forces from the Middle East.” The documents reveal a man and an organization blindsided by the American reaction to the September 11 attacks. Bin Laden and his associates “didn’t think that the United States would respond by waging war,” Lahoud said. He did not contemplate or plan for the long-term occupation of Afghanistan, nor did he expect the methodical killing of his operatives in a campaign that lasted years.

Too many people online seem to conflate left politics with being obnoxious and scathing and Mamdani is such a model for combining a principled ideological vision with civility and grace. You shake hands, you act like a grown up even whether others aren’t. You show up.

New in PN: The muted response to Trump 9/11 fantasy is a media failure "The words coming out of his mouth reveal a man completely deluded and awash in fictions of his own making. And as long as he’s surrounded by people who will let him live in that world, we’re all stuck in here with him."

France is seeing a rise in COVID-19 in September, with wastewater showing increasing SARS-CoV-2 levels nationwide. Virus concentrations have risen steadily since June and are now approaching levels last seen in March, with further increases expected through autumn and winter. archive.md/TGN2c

An elderly woman with grey hair is sitting indoors and coughing into her fist, looking noticeably unwell and distressed. She is wearing a light pastel mint green cardigan over a white button-up collared shirt and has on a delicate beaded necklace and drop earrings.
The image is a screenshot of an online news article from The Connexion, a publication featuring "French news in English since 2002." The article headline reads "Increase in Covid-19 cases across France" with the sub-headline "Vaccination campaign details should soon be released." Below the main photo, a small caption mentions that the concentration of the virus has been steadily increasing across the summer. The piece is credited to Zane Lilley Editorial Team and displays a publication date of Monday 07 September 2026.

As part of the appeals process, a member of a three-judge panel had cast the ballroom as illustrative of the Administration’s “move fast and break things” approach. “If the government decides, very quickly, to bulldoze the Statue of Liberty,” the judge asked, “nothing can be done?”

“I think that’s right, yes,” a lawyer for the Administration responded.

After DOGE layoffs & record cuts, Trump’s freezing the pay of all our civil servants in 2027. With 3.4% inflation, this amounts to a pay cut for those who care for our veterans, process benefits, & deliver essential services. Congress must pass the FAIR Act & override this decision.
