Big news in the Senate battle. After pouring $30 million in NC, John Thune's GOP SuperPAC stops spending there, effectively conceding Cooper is likely to win. And they're dumping their first 7-figures in Kansas. (Note: a Dem internal found Hamilton up today.) www.semafor.com/article/10/0...

Today is the anniversary of the Great Railroad Strike of 1877, the 1st national strike in the US. Workers protested a 10% wage cut by shutting down all major railway lines, paralyzing industry for 2 weeks.

Love this beautiful passage along the River Dodder in Dublin. Some days it really does transport me to a better time and space. There I often imagine what the time after Trump will look and feel like. What do other imaginings look like, I wonder?

I think the universal grieving comes in no small part from the fact she represented the best of what America could be, and that she never stopped chasing that ideal, artistically and socially

When most of the straight world was running away from gay people when AIDS struck in the 1980s, the great Dolly Parton embraced us. This is her with gay artist and activist Keith Haring in 1985. Rest in Peace Dolly Parton, a model of a life well lived.

Once again, please remember that DOJ has other important business beyond pursuing political vengeance. If the people's business is not being competently conducted, we are all at greater risk.

if your opening gambit is an obviously false assertion — that there was an entire literature challenging the conventional view of birthright citizenship — and then you work your way backwards into an argument, you are a hack and a liar no matter how certain you are that you are right

The Callais ruling is the latest evidence that the real problem with #SCOTUS is that it can do whatever it wants without any fear of pushback from Congress. The way to fix that is by making the Court *accountable* again, something that expanding it or imposing term limits won't actually accomplish:

Bonus 223: "They Are Who We Thought They Were"

The Callais ruling has prompted renewed calls for Court reform. It's also a reminder of why the most popular proposals *aren't* how we should fix the Court.
