Cabining this to the first show being Jan. 1, 2000 rather than limiting evaluation to the portion of the series occurring in the 21st century feels odd to me (though of course the whole construct is arbitrary, I get it). The Sopranos, e.g., is clearly a 21st Century TV series in spirit.

This is a compelling argument well worth your consideration. I think that a convention which produced no substantive changes whatsoever would be a colossal failure, and that it would be worth doing as much as possible to prevent the convention process from replicating the Constitution's own flaws.

NEW: DHS's Inspector General releases a scathing report about the Everglades detention camp known as "Alligator Alcatraz." The OIG finds that the now-closed camp, violated multiple ICE standards. The OIG also confirms detainees were punished with placement in a metal cage in the Florida heat.🧵

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Staff also reported that time spent in the small metal enclosures is closely monitored, and
detainees are not locked in, even though we observed locking mechanisms on the enclosures.
Figures 11 and 12. Small Metal Enclosures; Observed January 21, 2026

Underneath is a picture of a metal cage that is 4 feet 3 inches wide by 4 feet 3 inches long, and 7 feet 9 inches high. The cage itself is placed on a tiny spot of fake turf, and then surrounded by another chainlink fence with razor wire on top. The cage is covered by a roof, but it's entirely exposed to the outside otherwise, meaning mosquitos and no air conditioning.

An astonishing (if not surprising) story that also puts into perspective the President's curious decision not to attend. I am doubtful this arrangement would have been compatible with his security requirements.

I was living on Bleecker St. with south-facing windows that once had a nice view of the Towers. I was home. I won’t say more about that day or its aftermath other than that it clarified a lot of things about how I wanted to live my life, and on September 11, 2002, I was a first year law student.

While I agree with @martylederman.bsky.social that this is not a close case as a matter of equity and that this would be an easy way for SCOTUS to resolve it, I also think it would be useful and important to signal that this type of election chicanery is unlawful on the merits.

One likely consequence of completely undermining trust in USPS is a(nother) shift in the partisan identification of mail-in voting. Recall that it wasn't blue-coded until COVID.

And since, in the posture of this decision, the Court must assume his action to be ultra vires, the dissent’s description is clearly more appropriate.

As with the mail-in ballot case, so in the ballroom case, SCOTUS includes a whopper in the opening line. Today: "In October 2025, the federal government started a project to replace the East Wing of the White House." "The federal government?" More like "the rogue president who thinks he's a king."

Not to engage this profoundly silly statement further, but worth adding that not only does Canada of course have a military -- and that Canadian servicemembers have died in defense of the US -- but also that it is a member of NATO, whose members also of course have militaries.

Last year the Trump admin made a startling claim; that a 1996 law had, unbeknownst to anyone for the last 30 years, mandated the detention without bond of millions of undocumented immigrants. The resulting chaos has drowned federal courts, overwhelmed the DOJ, and spread misery.
