In the history of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most. SMH. Politicians lie. These politicians lie so often it seems like breathing.

it didn't even occur to me that the government might try to execute someone a second time if they torture the person but fail to kill them during a first botched attempt. truly grotesque and a moral stain upon all involved.

New from me: What do Never Trump Republicans want and are they experts at defeating the GOP they helped create? We don't have to speculate. They've already said it - they want neocons to take over the Democratic Party & they don't want blame when Democrats adopt their agenda & then lose.

Every single newspaper that reported that Jane Doe “changed her story” should be rushing to publish retractions right now. This case should be a lesson in taking a DA’s victim-blaming statements at face value. Victims do not report to the police because they thought nothing happened to them.

Maybe no one is more hated than women who resist rape. I’ve come to believe that women who have been, as I was, “public survivors” have a responsibility not to flinch in these face of this hate. I have a lot of rage about that time, but I don’t have any shame.

The governor of America’s biggest blue state — now running for the Dem presidential nomination — helped tech oligarchs by vetoing Dem legislation to require those oligarchs to be able to shut off their AI if it gets out of control. I don’t think it’s possible to overstate how big a story this is.

We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.

The central problem with Chief Justice Roberts’s Friday afternoon “administrative” stay in the White House ballroom case isn’t just the lack of any clear standards for such relief; it’s that it’s hard to see how, *whatever* the standards are, this case could satisfy them. Me in today’s “One First”:

245. Irreparable Harm, “Administrative” Stays, and the White House Ballroom
Chief Justice Roberts’s order in the ballroom case is a useful illustration of how standardless the Court’s approach to “administrative” stays appears to be.
