Other news organizations should leave the White House. They can of course still cover the administration--almost none of their coverage depends on being there physically. But they shouldn't stay there, raising their hands dutifully in the briefing room, as if it's business as usual.

Genuinely an insane paragraph from Sam Alito. “Voter fraud is real and scary and we have to stop it, so the fact that implementing Trump’s mail ballot rule will disenfranchise millions is legally irrelevant.” Brain melted. A right-wing podcaster in a robe. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

As for the equities, the Government has a strong interest
in enforcing the rule, and implementing it will also “en-
hance the visibility of Federal Ballot Mail” in order to better
detect election fraud. 91 Fed. Reg. 54972. On the other side
of the balance, the plaintiff States invoke the practical ef-
fects of implementing the rule close to the midterm elec-
tions. I take that problem very seriously, but it is not
enough to convince me to deny the application.
First, as the District Court acknowledged, the States dis-

The fact that the two most openly authoritarian members of the court were nominated not by Trump, but by Papa and Baby Bush reflects that there a) remains some uncertainty about how partisans will operate on the court, b) getting old makes some people very reactionary

A quarter century after we all pledged to “Never Forget,” we’ve forgotten. Here we are. More divided than ever. Awash in partisanship and pettiness. An empire in radical decline. Isolated from our allies. Entangled in another endless war in the Mideast. charliesykes.substack.com/p/what-happe...

Reporter: "The Vice President said yesterday that he would not describe the conflict with Iran as a war…If this is not a war, what exactly is it?" Trump: "I call it a military conflict because it's small potatoes for us. It's not a big thing." Reporter: "18 people have died."

This is one of the more disastrous trends of the past decade. It feels like we’re perpetually in that Key & Peele sketch where Key keeps asking “but is it against the law though?” because we’ve lost any other sense of conduct being beyond the pale on general principle…

I cannot understand why any country would ever agree to negotiations with Trump, who routinely violates every agreement he makes. Whether it is violating newly-made trade agreements or violating his own Iran cease fire agreement. Trump began threatening Iran within 60 seconds of agreeing not to.
