NBA is rigged! when Spurs had 29 point lead the game should have been immediately stopped and Spurs declared winner. Instead officials decides to play "4th quarter?" and Knicks "somehow" score enough baskets to win. Fraud!

Fidesz outspent Tisza 11 to 1. The electoral map was gerrymandered to require the opposition to win 55% just to form a majority. Russian intelligence ran active disinformation operations. None of it was enough. The bad guys lost.

Orbán Lost Spectacularly Because the Hungarian People Simply Stopped Fearing His Authoritarianism
They understood that his corrupt party was selling out the country to serve its own interests

A lot of Orbán's American fans are saying that this election proved he was never an authoritarian in the first place. This is completely wrong — and, in fact, betrays a complete misunderstanding of both Hungarian politics and modern authoritarianism. Here's why.

RIP James Gadson, drummer. Working with everyone from Marvin Gaye to Norah Jones, Aretha Franklin to Justin Timberlake, his career spanned 6 decades. He played on over 500 gold records, including Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On," the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack and Herbie Hancock's "Manchild"

"As with any incoherent doctrine, originalism allows you to prove anything. Thus in practice what it amounts to is a ritual invocation of the Founders, gesturing at this or that piece of text from a few centuries back, before delivering whatever conclusion was approved on Fox News the night before."

We Have No Supreme Court
The philosophical incoherence of originalism prevents the Court from performing its core functions as a supreme court.

Yes, it's simply inaccurate for White House to claim "one nation under God" as part of who America essentially is. That phrase was added by Christian Nationalists just 7 decades ago: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/70-years-u...

We cannot forget who was complicit on January 6th. Ted Cruz fanned the flames of insurrection. Ken Paxton provoked the rioters before the assault. John Cornyn refused to investigate the attack. They have forfeited their right to represent us in our nation’s Capitol.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.
