Nixon tried to hide the evidence. The Supreme Court unanimously said no president is above the law. Katie Phang explains why United States v. Nixon still matters today—and why its lessons feel more urgent than ever. Read this:

Nixon's Tapes Were Never His To Hide

In 1971, then-President Richard Nixon secretly installed a voice-activated recording system throughout the White House.

I think one reason data center outrage is so pronounced is people spent decades recycling and composting and otherwise scrimping to offset energy use and protect clean water, and the second we hit an inflection point for cheap electricity the banking industry said we’re taking all of it, fuck you

Rep.

Hey, Dems, let's do this: Instead of centrists freaking out about the success of progressives, maybe we could take Mamdani as a model and focus on listening to and delivering for the voters. What if we had big competition among candidates to see who could do most for voters? Just imagine.

I think there's actually a useful difference we can draw here. Namely: there is incrementalism that comes from pushing wherever possible (and with whatever levels possible) to make progress toward a maximalist demand, versus incrementalism that's positioned as an excuse for setting minor goals
