I urge you to pay attention to Kansas's election on Tuesday, when voters will decide whether to abolish the state's nonpartisan nominating commission for Kansas Supreme Court justices, and allow lawmakers to institute partisan supreme court elections instead. This proposal is...not what it seems.

The Push to Elect Kansas Supreme Court Justices Is a Cynical Anti-Abortion Power Grab

In 2022, Kansas voters overwhelmingly rejected the GOP’s anti-abortion agenda. Four years later, state lawmakers are trying “another path.”

🇺🇸 For a tournament that started with so much promise, the United States journey at the World Cup ends exactly where it did in 2022, 2014 and 2010: The round of 16. This loss, unlike the others, was an ass-whooping. At a home World Cup... this is a disappointment.

True that this was our worst game and Belgium’s best. But I’ve heard “the talent gap is closing” and “the future is bright for American soccer” for 36 years, since we started qualifying for world cups again in 1990. Call me when we win more than one knockout game or beat any team of consequence.

The Telemundo announcers are discussing how, "through no fault of their own," the US players have now earned "the antipathy" of "the entire footballing world." They're also openly speculating about whether the political controversy distracted the players.

This is the best US soccer team our country has ever fielded (except maybe in the 1930s). They’ve been so fun to watch and root for. They don’t deserve Trump’s stench on them. Sad #worldcup

Look, I’m sorry but I just can’t believe the Knicks came all the way back. And I bet a lot of my fellow basketball fans feel similarly. This calls into question the legitimacy of their Game Four win.

The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power to decide when the nation goes to war. President Trump’s strikes on Iran are flatly unconstitutional. There’s been no deliberation, no vote, no clear justification. This is a flagrant abuse of executive power.

This is so jarringly unAmerican that I sort of hope it wakes some normies up. It is occurring in a context where military-style equipment is being used to enforce immigration roundups and conveys the notion that we are increasingly living in a police state.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison. It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that *you* are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back? The answer is due process.

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

Not everyone can fight Trumpism and Trumpists directly. But remember this: kindness, decency, and fidelity to American values are defiance in the face of Trumpism. So be kind, decent, and faithful, particularly to the many kinds of people despised and attacked by Trumpists. That’s revolutionary./1

Remember it’s not normal for a FBI director - appointed by the president-elect himself to serve a 10 year term 7 years ago - to resign in this way, and it’s normal to nominate someone as unqualified as Patel to replace him. None of this is normal - and should not be normalized by the news media!

FBI Director Chris Wray resigns following Trump nomination of Patel

FBI Director Chris Wray will step down from his post early next year, the bureau said on Wednesday, after Republican President-elect Donald Trump signaled his intent to fire the veteran official and replace him with firebrand Kash Patel.
