#189: “Dig Me Out” by Sleater-Kinney This album just rocks. It’s propulsive, it’s fun, the songs are catchy. And the lead singer’s warbly, wailing delivery works so well alongside the pulsing guitars and pounding drums. Fantastic stuff. Best: One More Hour, Dig Me Out Skip: N/A Rating: 9/10

#190: “Tommy” by The Who After a long hiatus, we’re so back. They just don’t make rock operas like they used to. The lyrics in some of these songs are wild. But the instrumentation is great, and I appreciate the effort. Best: Overture, Pinball Wizard, Christmas Skip: Fiddle About Rating: 7/10

#191: “At Last” by Etta James What a voice! I was a bit skeptical through the first two songs, but the sheer power and tone of Etta’s voice won me over. I also really liked the orchestral background to most songs. Best: At Last, A Sunday Kind of Love Skip: Girl of My Dreams Rating: 8/10

#192: “Licensed to Ill” by the Beastie Boys I was excited for this, but it didn’t really land for me. I could see these songs hitting in one very particular context (a 90s house party), but I found most songs to be repetitive and non-memorable. Best: Brass Monkey Skip: Paul Revere Rating: 5/10

#193: “Willy and the Poor Boys” by Creedence Clearwater Revival. The most notable thing about these songs is how sharp they are. The melodies are often simple, but each instrument sounds SO crisp. Great listen. Best: Down on the Corner, Fortunate Son Skip: N/A Rating: 9/10

#194: “Bad” by Michael Jackson. The hits hold up, but I wasn’t really intrigued by any of the songs I didn’t already know. And of course, very hard to separate art from artist here. Best: Man in the Mirror, The Way You Make Me Feel Skip: Speed Demon, Another Part of Me Rating: 6/10

#195: “Songs of Leonard Cohen” by Leonard Cohen In many way, this felt more like a collection of short stories than an album. The lyrics are dense, mysterious, and often beautiful, while the instrumentation is kept simple. Very good. Best: Susanne, So Long, Marianne Skip: Teachers Rating: 8/10

#196: “Body Talk” by Robyn Loved the first half of this—the propulsive beats combined with reflective, often sad lyrics really works. But I found the back half to be quite bloated and somewhat repetitive. Best: Hang With Me, Dancing On My Own Skip: None of Dem, U Should Know Better Rating: 7/10

#197: “Meet the Beatles” by The Beatles This gets a bit repetitive, but I mostly enjoyed it. You can hear the seeds of something great in the instrumentation. And I can appreciate an entire album that’s 27 minutes. Best: I Want To Hold Your Hand, All My Loving Skip: Little Child Rating: 7.5/10

#198: “The B-52’s” by The B-52’s I think the only proper term to describe this album is goofy. And I mean that as a compliment. The lyrics are zany and all over the place, but there’s an energy to every song that I really enjoyed. Best: Dance This Mess Around Skip: Downtown Rating: 8/10

#199: “Slanted & Enchanted” by Pavement I was excited for this, but it was more hit-and-miss than I expected. It’s a cool sound with the ultra distorted guitar, but maybe a bit too grating for my (normie) tastes. Best: Summer Babe, Zurich is Stained Skip: Jackals, False Grails Rating: 6.5/10

#200: “Diamond Life” by Sade An incredibly smooth, jazzy, easy-to-listen-to album. I’m not sure that this would be an everyday album for me, but I certainly understand how this became as influential as it did. Rating: 7/10 Best: Your Love is King, Smooth Operator Skip: I Will Be Your Friend

genuinely crazy to me how unitary executive advocates read the vesting clause as granting a huge scope of essentially royal "inherent" powers. one would think that if the framers intended to give the president royal authority, they would have just said so.

the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.

Arresting a public official for asking questions is dangerous intimidation and sends an unmistakably authoritarian message – that ICE doesn’t care about the rule of law, and that anyone exercising their right to challenge ICE and speak up for immigrants will be punished.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

So I am to believe that Trump's top priority right now is filling low-level legal roles in his administration, AND he needed to talk to Alito specifically about this one, AND neither man said ANYTHING else in a private call of which there is no record, got it, great abcnews.go.com/US/trump-spe...

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito spoke to President-elect Donald Trump by phone Tuesday to recommend one of his former law clerks for a job in the new administration, ABC News has learned.

"William Levi, one of my former law clerks, asked me to take a call from President-elect Trump regarding his qualifications to serve in a government position," Justice Alito confirmed to ABC News Wednesday. "I agreed to discuss this matter with President-elect Trump, and he called me yesterday afternoon."

The call occurred just hours before Trump's lawyers on Wednesday morning filed an emergency request with the justices asking them to block a New York judge from moving forward with sentencing Trump on Friday in his criminal hush money case.

Alito said that he and Trump did not discuss that matter.

"We did not discuss the emergency application he filed today, and indeed, I was not even aware at the time of our conversation that such an application would be filed," Alito said. "We also did not discuss any other matter that is pending or might in the future come before the Supreme Court or any past Supreme Court decisions involving the President-elect."

a useful thing to ask is how specifically does a rule or regulation or order go from issuance to implementation. for instance, trump has said that he will issue an executive order denying birth certificates and SSNs to the children of undocumented immigrants. okay. what happens next?
