“Independence day is canceled because of fear of secret police raids” is really a level of on the nose political symbolism you just can’t make up.

So many Dem leaders (and voters) would rather crater into autocracy than operate with the beliefs: 1. Your enemies are bad 2. They do objectively bad things on purpose 3. Either they win or you stop them

this is horrifying. we just learned the latest iteration of the Great Big Bill has a proviso requiring ALL pizzerias sell a pie with "hot honey". this will exacerbate an already terrible trend. disastrous news after the parliamentarian shot down the proviso mandating all menus call pepperoni "peps"

If a Supreme Court judge can speak at a public conference he can do press interviews. The court wields huge power but shuns this basic level of transparency and accountability.

If you had a 15 year old who said this to you and seemed to believe it, you’d be up all night panicking about what it’s going to cost you in tutors to get them into the 2nd-to-last ranked public university in your state.

Near the end of the Biden years, Elizabeth Prelogar asked the Supreme Court to rein in nationwide injunctions in a low-stakes case where a Republican judge/Fifth Circuit blocked an act of Congress from applying to anyone anywhere. They declined and took up Trump’s patently illegal order instead.

If your response to this is, today is worse? I need you to understand that we did not have a Constitution at all where millions of people were concerned, for generations of US history—at least, not one that guaranteed any kind of freedom. SCOTUS said fine to that. They didn’t have the last word.

the mainstream media line on major cities for several years has been that they are on the precipice of collapse due to Democratic mismanagement. now that a socialist has won an election, suddenly NYC is in great shape and about to be ruined.

Yea I just checked and this is seemingly true. If Dems can flip IA-SD01(R+11.5, TBD) then they break the Iowa Republican Supermajority in the state Senate Will try to keep everyone informed on this and who the Dem is so we can donate/volunteer

the NYC mayoral election might be an opportunity to reset some terms. the Cuomo faction are not “liberals” but “centrists”. the Lander faction are “liberals” the Mamdani faction are “leftists” if you’re mad at centrists but complaining about liberals you are mostly pissing on the wrong people
