KAGAN: “If the idea is to reassure the markets, a simpler—and more judicial—approach would have been to deny the President’s application for a stay on the continued authority of Humphrey’s.” 🎯

“The Fed is different” is right up there with “only sec. 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment requires implementing legislation” in statements that really strain the notion that legal plausibility is any sort of constraint on the justices.

Just had a great discussion with some Stanford Law students! Now to open my phone and make sure the Supreme Court didn’t overturn a famous 90 year-old precedent on the shadow docket during the last hour.

House Republicans snuck a massive policy change into their tax bill that could upend the civil service: It would make new federal employees "at will" unless they agree to an effective 5% pay cut. One union official told me it amounts to "criminal extortion." www.huffpost.com/entry/house-...

I've seen some liberals earnestly argue that rhetorical concessions on youth healthcare or youth sports would get Republicans to back off on other trans civil rights issues. This is a complete misreading of Republicans. They want trans people to suffer and force them out of public life.

Lots of people who celebrated her death are seeing this, and are still celebrating her death. For them, Israelis deserve to die. For them, Israelis are irredeemable, no matter their individual actions. These people don't get to condemn genocide, because they are supporters of genocide.

The current budget bill is an atrocity and out-of-touch leaders like Chuck Schumer laid the groundwork by voting for the CR. Appeasement and complicity do not work. When you bend the knee, they’ll break your leg.

PSA: When you publicly pontificate over whether the shooting of the Israeli embassy staffers was "antisemitic or merely anti-Zionist", every Jew--of any view on Israel--understands that you're silently evaluating our connections to Israel to decide whether our murders would be worth mourning over.

On October 9, 2023, I wrote a post directed to my fellow Jews titled simply “What Will You Say ‘No’ To?” The idea was that we had to commit—right then, in advance—to what we would not accept from Israel as part of its response to 10/7.

This essay is about defeating bad Dem leaders we all do not like. It's planting a flag in the camp arguing that abstention doesn't build power where we need to build it. This essay is not about the left apologizing for taking necessary moral stands. Take the stand! In a way that builds power.

OPT is the program that allows foreign students graduating with STEM degrees stay and work for up to three years. Because of the oversubscribed H-1B lottery, OPT is one of the main ways that foreign students manage to transition to jobs in the US. Ending it would destroy a major STEM pipeline.

I say without any irony or sarcasm: yes, thank you, we want parliamentary sabotage. Again, I'm 100% serious. It's one of the few things a minority party can do, and which Republicans themselves did. It's essential.

Trump's new "Religious Liberty Commission" includes an advisor who has argued that non-Orthodox Jews shouldn't be allowed to make religious liberty claims, period. If you're Reform, Conservative, Reconstructionist -- any type of Jew other than the officially favored sect -- you're at risk.

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

another banger from toby. i want to add, by the way, that toby doesn't think the left needs to compromise on policy at all. he just thinks a successful activist takeover means you gotta stop running against your own base. newrepublic.com/article/1953...

Elizabeth Warren is correct. This bill will absolutely not protect consumers. It should be a clue that Donald Trump is backing it because he does not give a single shit about consumers.

Dodgers broadcast was discussing the science behind the perception of time between children and adults. After hearing the explanation, the color commentator pauses and asks, "Am I gonna feel any better?" Andy Pages then smashes a dinger into space, thus ending the existential crisis on commentary.
