Isn't it fascinating how we had the most progressive president in modern history pass the Green New Deal in all but name, get the first lower class real wage increases in decades, sue FAANG, preside over record union growth, etc...
...and throwing all that under the bus is top priority.

Yes, people are going to die. From lack of health care, from police violence, from delayed action on climate change, and from lack of research into medicines and other fields. But anyone thinking this is even a 6 year reich is functionally a collaborator.

There's also this, which I will never not hold a grudge about no matter how long ago it was. Speaks volumes about who he is as a person. www.huffpost.com/entry/shri-t...

Smart analysis. How about injunctive relief under the Ex Parte Young exception?

That's in the "no more elections" category. Plenty of flunkies in the legal profession to show up and take one for the team.

My experience is that federal judges don't do that.

Which shutdown?

It's not really a spine issue. Federal judges have control of their dockets but they loathe being overruled, especially on due process grounds. I'd need to see some specific cases where judges made DOJ attorneys show up in court without a paycheck.

If the DOJ attorneys aren't getting paid, they won't show up in court. No judge will force a government attorney to work for free. Litigation stops. Think I'll go copy and paste this in the next 99 posts I see about "the courts will remain open."

I heard Slotkin and Peters were on the fence yesterday. This news should erase all doubt.

Switzerland and Finland have mandatory conscription while staying democratic, but very different context. I know from my Finnish friends that they take national pride in their entire population trained to shoot any Orcs who come over their eastern border.

Leon conveniently leaves out the fact that Michigan Dems lost our state house majority, and Hertel lost Slotkin's old district by almost 4%. Oh, and Harris lost the state, but by gawd if we'd just run a good Progressive for Senate, dems would have won in a landslide.

This drama has been playing out since oh, about 2003, when Greenwald started showing his true colors. 20 years later he's a crank shitposting from a South American country while the Dems still argue whether there are more centrist or Progressive voters in the US.

Your numbers are off. Slotkin got 11,343 fewer votes than Harris. Easily accounted for by more Michigan Republicans liking Rogers than liking Trump. I live in Slotkin's old House district. Her replacement, Curtis Hertel, is a solid left of center dem who lost decisively.

I will not, despite everything, be calling for your countries to be ground to dust when you get a fascist party into power. We all need to break these chains together or they will break us apart.

AI, at it’s core, is a super powered search engine. But people want to imbue it with magical capabilities.
