The mind that boggles at this phenomenon—the inevitable result of putting violent xenophobic assholes in power and letting them run amok—is probably reeling at all sorts of basic cause and effect situations.

Ken Paxton keeps dodging debates. So I called his cell to invite him to a debate on Fox News. He didn’t pick up.

One justice per appellate district. It’s the way SCOTUS operated for the vast majority of its existence. While we’re at it, time to enlarge the House. Hasn’t been done for 100 years. MCs now represent about 3 times more people than they did back then.

The plain truth is JD has made vile accommodations with gutter racists and white nationalists of all stripes. Given his life experiences, you'd expect him to ruminate on how he/his movement are treating AES/his family. But JD largely agrees w/the white nationalists! newrepublic.com/article/2149...

Campaign consulting malpractice. On the other hand, without Platner, we would have had Mills who, I am convinced, could not have beaten Collins. This may end up being Dems second best shot. First would have been a skeleton-free Platner. Obv, not a possibility.

For the vast majority of its existence, the Supreme Court has had 1 justice for each circuit court of appeals. There are currently 11 circuits, plus DC. One per circuit would be 12, and to make the number odd, add one seat for the Chief Justice. That’s 13. Not a crazy thing at all.

Worth noting that Iran has said this in every negotiation over the last 20 years. Whether that means anything is up for debate. But there's nothing new about it. It's not even a concession. They say they won't try to build or acquire nuclear weapons.

Yesterday, #SCOTUS summarily reversed the three-judge district court in the Texas redistricting case "for the reasons set forth" back when it granted emergency relief last December. Besides its novelty, the ruling also puts the lie to the effort to describe grants of emergency relief as "interim":

223. The Revealing Summary Reversal in LULAC
Monday's one-paragraph order in the Texas redistricting case is both a procedural anomaly and a sharp rejoinder to those who still use the "interim" label to refer to the emergency docket.
