The Constitution allows it. South Korea has proven it works. If you want to make impeachment viable—and so much else is pointless if you don't—then it can be done by a simple majority adopting a simple rules change: vote on the verdict by secret ballot.

A Democratic Senate Should Adopt Secret Impeachment Ballots on a Priority Basis
Such a change, requiring no constitutional amendment, would free senators to vote their judgment instead of their fears

Shutting down a memorial to an assassinated president because you can't slap your name on it ranks with the most empty, floppy dictator shit of all time. Ferdinand Marcos would tell you to get a grip.

A recurrent theme in this excellent story about China’s progress is that people there regard Trump as essential to their success, including his ability to drive scientific talent from the US www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
In Beijing, a think tank at Renmin University recently published an assessment titled
"Thank Trump," which wryly hailed his efforts to hasten the "twilight of an empire," by undermining America's alliances, civil service, scientific institutions, and democratic credibility. In the past two years, the international approval rating of the U.S. has dropped nearly forty points, according to a worldwide survey by the Alliance of Democracies; in multiple polls, China now rates higher than the U.S.

Surprising fact: We are actually NOT seeing more food recalls this year compared with recent years. What we’re seeing is an increase in the number of illnesses caused by contaminated food. This is the largest ever cyclospora outbreak & third-largest foodborne illness outbreak of any kind on record.
Number of food recalls by year
There have been 162 food recalls posted this year by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Department of Agriculture.

Chart shows yearly food recall numbers from 2017 to 2026.

No matter what metric you use, Republicans have been worse for the economy than Democrats for a century now. And yet they’ll *still* point to the latest mess they created as an argument to elect them again. And half the media will happily help carry their water for them.

Those of you eager to serve wealthy MLB owners as volunteer Pinkertons won’t like to read this, but as usual Joe Sheehan nails the real problem:
Joe Sheehan: This trade is a microcosm of the real problem MLB has faced for decades. It’s not about haves and have-nots, but wants and want-nots. The Dodgers, and teams like them, want to win more than teams like the Tigers do, so they go out and acquire the Tigers’ best pitcher. MLB has built an entire labor strategy and media campaign around demonizing the Dodgers, when in fact it’s the Tigers who are wrecking baseball. You have to be through the looking glass to think the sport’s problem is the team that’s trying to win rather than the team that’s trading Tarik Skubal while sitting 2 1/2 games out of a playoff spot.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, a West Wing style hyper-saturated but not melodramatic episodic hopecore drama series about a progressive political operation that was just the Mamdani administration with the serial numbers filed off would have endless viewership numbers.
Meme made of screenshots from the Lulu Garcia Navarro interviewing Zohran Mamdani

[Top: picture of mamdani, with text reading] *New York Times interviewing Zohran Mamdani*
[Middle: picture of Navarro and Mamdani with text reading] *Mamdani has a cough attack mid-interview* "I'm so sorry... It's just a bad cough."
[Navarro:] "Have you had it checked out?"
[Mamdani:] *recovering, sipping glass of water* "I have."
[Bottom: *Mamdani,] fighting for his life, [trying not to cough and choke,] staring directly at the camera, still smiling*
"That's why I believe in Medicare for all. Everyone can check it out."

The legal arguments for Trump's birthright citizenship executive order are vapid and embarrassing. Multiple lower court judges legit laughed DOJ lawyers out of the room. The fact that four Supreme Court justices twisted themselves into logical pretzels to buy it is a constitutional emergency.

And make no mistake, when the Klan was ranting about unassimilable immigrants in the 1920s, they were very much talking about Italians whom they attacked as Catholic pawns of the pope, as a "criminal race" whose members were all tied to the mafia, and as a non-white threat to white women.

Gawker, bless it, tried to warn us. www.gawkerarchives.com/gawker-was-m...
Tom Scocca, writing in the conclusion of the second-to-last post published by Gawker under Nick Denton's control:

"Gawker always said it was in the business of publishing true stories. Here is one last true story: You live in a country where a billionaire can put a publication out of business. A billionaire can pick off an individual writer and leave that person penniless and without legal protection.

"If you want to write stories that might anger a billionaire, you need to work for another billionaire yourself, or for a billion-dollar corporation. The law will not protect you. There is no freedom in this world but power and money."
