Profiles in Cowardice. 30 GOP senators plus the Democrats is a sufficient number for removal.

“Originalism is an incoherent doctrine. It allows you to prove anything. Thus what it amounts to is a ritual invocation of the Founders, gesturing at this or that piece of text, before delivering whatever conclusion was approved on Fox News the night before.” www.liberalcurrents.com/we-have-no-s...

We Have No Supreme Court
The philosophical incoherence of originalism prevents the Court from performing its core functions as a supreme court.

the media doesn't care about normal americans and doesn't care about our rights. it would be easy to cover this as a persistent scandal but they instead treat it as normal and re-print trump's lies about "vandalism."

I wish that's what he was saying, but he's saying exactly the opposite. He's arguing that we should get behind Trump's lawlessness and fascism because doing otherwise would erode the rule of law.

The Social Democrat left is in no way anti-America. They're mostly indistinguishable from Eisenhower-era Republicans.

Warnock: Right before they passed that ugly bill that cut $1 trillion out of medicaid, the Speaker of the House joined with other legislators and said a prayer, and then they went and voted for that bill. I just want to know what was in that prayer.

Always remember that the coup never ended. This un-American action, that would imprison everyone involved in a normal and functioning government, should disqualify all involved.

Putin refuses a ceasefire. Zelenskyy agrees to it. Putin refuses a direct meeting. Zelenskyy agrees to it. Putin continues to attack Ukrainian civilians. Zelenskyy retaliates on strategic and military targets. Politicians calling for "both sides" to "negotiate" serve russia.

The GOP is handing a $70B slush fund to ICE. With that money, we could: -Feed 30M hungry people. -Give 1.3M kids free childcare.  -Lower gas and grocery prices. They just don’t care about the American people.

Honestly, Tolkien being Tolkienish is a huge part of the point, and why he's still the colossus that stands astride the entire genre over 50 years after his passing. It's the texture and the sense of historicity that set him apart.

Honestly, being what used to be called a stand-up guy has become liberal/left-coded. Looking out for others. Stamping out bullying because it's wrong. Ensuring everyone gets a fair shake. Working to grow the community. Volunteering. All the things that came naturally to my Republican grandfather.

Now that Todd Blanche has confirmed Trump will still enjoy immunity from IRS audits, Dems must find every way they can to force Rs to vote on this. Rep Jamie Raskin tells me Dems will push the issue in coming days. Let's turn this into a political fiasco for GOP: newrepublic.com/article/2112...

It's striking how other than the clear rejection of consent, the *other* huge feature of generative AI is that it is allowed to fuck up in much bigger ways, for much longer, that would get a human fired.

Yup. My general experience has been that people respond warmly to Americans and want to practice their English. They also want to ask you about American pop culture. Provided that you're polite, respectful, and not excessively cheap.

Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.
