This will be a critical week for democracy in court. I founded Democracy Docket for times like this. It doesn't pull punches or engage in false equivalency. It's fiercely independent and always pro-democracy. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

All of the authors on here are a bad influence on me!

Meiselas: Terry Moran, if you’re listening, we’ve just learned that your agreement has apparently been terminated by ABC. We want you to know—you will always have a place here at The MeidasTouch Network.

A year ago, I opened Jenkins’ Emporium with the hope of making chocolate that felt a little bit magical. It’s been a year of learning and growing. I’ve met wonderful people and I’m so grateful for the support. Thanks for being part of it. 🫶

My thoughts are with our Jewish neighbors after another horrifying antisemitic attack, this time in Boulder. Hate has no place in our country.

It’s striking how often hate toward Jewish Americans is met with silence. In a country that prides itself on justice and free speech, too many look away. Standing up against antisemitism shouldn’t be political—it should be moral. Indifference only fuels it.

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

It is easy to forget that when Paul Weiss and the other law firms that capitulated to Trump cut their deals they thought they would be viewed as savvy dealmakers. Now they look like craven fools and gutless cowards.

Trump being called a chicken and knowing that will stick means today is the worst day of his life. Right Taco?

Sucks to be a trump tariff right now. 😉

TACO! Trump Always Chickens Out

Last weekend @eviedc.bsky.social’s dad visited & gave us his entire record collection—it’s mostly Judas Priest & Ozzy Osbourne & Van Halen—respectable, if not our jam—but there are some gems in here—plus this fascinating bit of text technology history that will join @skeuomorphpress.org’s collection

I have endured his scurrilous attacks for years. He has sued me for racketeering — and lost. He has unleashed his right-wing army of online trolls. Since his reelection, he has threatened me, defamed me and singled me out by name in two executive orders. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-t...

I just realised I haven’t had a single order from the US since the orange clown started playing with tariffs. It used to be about 20% of all my orders, so not exactly small. Anyway, once again, it’s small businesses that take the biggest hits. I’m not giving up though. 🍫

There’s been lots of chatter about repealing taxation of Social Security benefits in the tax bill. Turns out Rs opted to increase the standard deduction for some seniors instead. Will this increase help lower- and middle-income retirees? Nope, and here’s why. 🧵

Following the discussion on #F1 yesterday I went down a rabbit hole on engine configurations. Yes, the much-loved shrieking V12 only won a single championship season (1991), but what were the most (and least successful) configurations? Read on... fyi @jontyscorner.bsky.social (pic Jmex60)

Your pedantic reminder that #F1 is not 75 this year, nor have there been 75 years of #F1 in the world championship, and branding is not the same as history

The GOP is reenacting a fantasy where steel mills roar, men are men, and women pack their husbands' lunches in silence.

This speech should not have had to come from the Supreme Court’s most junior member. It should have come from the full Court. It should have come from the whole federal judiciary. And it should have been amplified by the nation’s legal community. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

I remember General Jack D. Ripper opining about the dangers of fluoridation in Dr. Strangelove, but I never imagined we’d have a Director of Health and Human Services just as nuts.
