This is an insane statement. I conceded that large corporations that have terrible negative externalities still contribute positively in some way, but even then, Amazon is far inferior to the good things done by the US administrative state

Wyden, the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, says Democrats will raise a point of order to strip the Medicaid ban on gender-affirming care in OBBB: "this is a private choice for adults. It should belong to them."

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it. Source: podscripts.co/podcasts/the...

law professors have been unable to understand why people are actually concerned about this case. it’s not about nationwide injunctions per se, it’s about a court that waited until the issue hurt the GOP, and then intervened on behalf of one of the most egregious constitutional violations we’ve seen

I just can’t get over how broken the federal courts are as a result of today’s ruling. Citizenship depending on which county your in? The president openly ignoring the Constitution, knowing the victims can’t enforce their rights? A million potential federal plaintiffs with trivial claims?

Pack the Court. If we are serious about the defense of these rights, we pack the Court. Simple as that. They pack it back, we pack it again. We do it until we reach consensus on long-term reforms to the judiciary. I don't know what it's going to take for people to get it.

You’ve seen this movie before: Maybe Reagan guessed, Bush hoped, and Trump tried—but tax cuts never paid for themselves. Given the mountain of evidence, claiming once again that "tax cuts will pay for themselves" is no longer ideologically motivated optimism. It's a lie.

We can't become numb to this lunacy. Republicans can't let anti-vaxxers like Lyn Redwood help OVERSEE vaccine safety. She will spread even more dangerous lies about vaccines—and she’s going to get kids killed. She doesn't belong anywhere near CDC. My full statement. ⬇️

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they knew was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

Refugees in Kenya have died at food distribution centers, officials noted, including a pregnant woman crushed to death during a stampede. Aid workers said they expected more people to get hurt “as vulnerable households become increasingly desperate.”

My lab works with Elamipretide. I AM NOT: A PHYSICIAN or COMPENSATED BY THE COMPANY, we work in RODENTS. But we have never had any adverse effects in mice with the drug and it seems to only have an effect (+) in dysfunctional mitochondria. I am also mom to a kid with a rare disease, this hits home💔.

Congratulations to John Roberts, who will now surely displace Taney as the most scathingly hated Chief Justice in the history books, and to the Roberts Court, which m will go down as the one that probably did the most of any to destroy what is good about this country

I see the Washington Post is platforming an op-ed by Krisi Noem, because apparently they're still pissed they missed their opportunity to publish Goebbels in the original German.

There can be no future for constitutional government in the United States that treats this as merely an unfortunate election outcome producing an administration with bad policies. It must be repudiated root and branch as an illegitimate criminal enterprise, void and unlawful in its entirety.

THIS JUST HAPPENED: Brad Lander walked through the fire, got burned, and came back with a fucking gasoline can. ICE arrested him — now he’s escorting migrants right past them, again. Most politicians wouldn’t show up. He showed out.

right-wingers will often say that America deserves credit for ending slavery rather than blame for having slavery. but then we made a holiday to commemorate the end of slavery and they still got mad, which should tell you what their real objection is.

This is so insane, especially considering the core value underlying transition is bodily autonomy. I have to assume they wouldn’t say anything like this about abortion (and rightly so!)

This framing exists because the decision is instantly obvious as one of the legal atrocities of US history, like Dred Scot, the 1870s Civil Rights Cases, Korematsu. The Times doesn’t want to say “The Supreme Court stripped rights out of law” so instead it says “Here’s why they did it to themselves”

The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.

I keep saying this, but a fundamental problem with this moment is that the two other branches are rolling over and playing dead, and the founders just did not think that people would do that! www.lawdork.com/p/trump-is-s...

I'm absolutely screaming. Referencing the Cass review and HHS docs, I'm sure. Totally ignoring the growing body of literature of the benefits and lack of regret, and absolutely skewering the "loss of fertility" comment. The NYT functions like an anti-trans media outlet. No other way around it

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

The reasoning in Skrmetti is just repackaged “every race is punished equally, so nothing to see here” logic that Loving v. Virginia emphatically rejected.
