If you have to ask what The Juice is, then you don't have it either

JB Emmons @jbe.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

NYT trying to cast Hong's loss as a sign of left-wing weakness is silly. Plenty of progressive and socialist candidates are winning. The key, as Jamelle Bouie often says, is The Juice. Mamdani has The Juice. AOC and El-Sayad have The Juice. Hong, for all her plusses, doesn't. It's that simple.

There's no sugar-coating Slaughter. It's an enormously important ruling (far more important than the other three decisions #SCOTUS handed down today). It's a huge win for Trump/the executive. And it's going to have massive ramifications for the functioning of the government long after Trump is gone.

One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

This sounds like straight-up theft (or fraud), at least morally. The US has an order in place to reject applicants from certain countries, but State is INSTRUCTING its officials not to tell applicants that when those applicants are paying big non-refundable fees.
