Media throws a party, invites Trump to insult them, then writes a thousand stories about how Trump insulted them at their party. Very cool.

Venezuela was a war, but Iran is just a military conflict. Sure.

It’s not actually great that the Graham Platners of the world have made “Free Palestine” their code for a sort of generic “Fuck you” to authority. Especially when the lesson of the Platner debacle is that sometimes authority is actually very important.

It's the name for a J Street proposal that Rahm is riffing off: "J Street supports a comprehensive regional agreement that ends the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and provides Israel full acceptance by 22 former Arab adversaries" jstreet.org/the-23-state...

It sure is easy to send a message to Graham Platner with this form without even providing your name or email or any other identifying information. Hypothetically.

He just wants to understand the process? The process is he drops out and then lives the rest of his life in shame.

If only there had been some clue early on that Platner had a rape problem www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
“How about people just take some responsibility for themselves and not get so f----d up they wind up having sex with someone they don’t mean to?” Platner said in reply. “Men and women, you make a choice to consume enough of a substance to lose your self control. So if you don’t want to be in a [compromising] situation, act like an adult for f---s sake.”

If roughing up a girlfriend and locking her in a room was a virile, authentic a rejection of “smoothgroined” “HR lady” politics, but a rape is too far, then what’s at stake is not a principled rejection of violence against women but a cynical assessment of how much violence a man can get away with.

folks, the idea is out there. Virginia Democrats are talking about it. this could happen. gift link to the NYT: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/10/u...
One key to the plan would be having Democrats in Richmond lower the mandatory retirement age for state Supreme Court justices, an idea that began circulating among state lawmakers and members of Congress after a column proposing a version of the idea was published on Friday night in The Downballot, a progressive newsletter.

We don't ordinarily publish posts at [checks watch] 8:51 PM on a Friday night, but state constitutional law expert Quinn @yeargain.bsky.social has an outside-the-box idea for reversing the VA Supreme Court that is very much worth taking seriously: Dems can simply lower the retirement age.

The state Constitution gives lawmakers complete latitude to set the judicial retirement age. They should use it.

@pkrugman.bsky.social recently said that the "good old days" of low prices should be fading away—and he's right. The problem is, it'll take many years. New (and my first piece at Strength In Numbers!) w/@gelliottmorris.com: Why consumer sentiment won't recover until the 2030s w/o bold new policies.

It'll be years before Americans get used to higher prices — and politicians can't just wait it out
Consumers will eventually adjust, but in the meantime, they'll keep punishing leaders who don't act

This is partisanship at its rawest. SCOTUS has clamped down on lower courts for rulings that could alter maps many *months* before an election—even when those maps have been judged illegal. Here, it's rushing to let the Louisiana GOP change a map *while an election is underway.*

Here's the definitive answer to the debate over "who started it": Republicans. Before Trump pushed TX to gerrymander last year, the GOP had drawn 42% of all districts, versus just 14% for Dems (the rest were by neutral parties). The maps below from @stephenwolf.bsky.social make this explicit.

Incredible that John Roberts created the shadow docket in part because his feelings were hurt that the EPA wasn’t respectful enough. But now, with his help, he has a president who openly and viciously attacks the court.

Who does she think should be blamed if not the guy who signed the executive order that did this? "He's kind of busy right now. My gender marker is not big on the issue. OK. So I get that, and I'm not blaming him whatsoever. I love the guy, and I love what he's doing."
