Aside from all the insane things about this (who is Jamie? Jamie Raskin? Why is he posting this? What's wrong with him?)... having his initials AND his name is weird and fucking redundant. Moron.

This is unprecedented. The AMA and other medical professional societies speak as one on respiratory virus vaccines and in their own way, say the Trump Administration cannot be trusted with your health. www.ama-assn.org/delivering-c...

this is an embarrassing thing for this guy to say in public but also touches on something that constantly rankles me, which is the vague idea of "feeling unsafe" as a problem that someone else needs to solve for you regardless of whether you are actually unsafe or not

I’ve seen lots of nonsense since Mamdani’s primary victory but the most irritating thread is people claiming they will leave NY if he is mayor. First of all, Go! It’s fine. It’s FINE. Go swelter in FL or wherever. No one cares. And secondly shut up. You’re lying. You aren’t going anywhere.

Abraham Lincoln, who was not president at the time of the Dred Scott ruling, obviously did not do this. He didn’t even advocate ignoring the outcome the way the Trump administration is doing. He advocated treating it as only binding on the particular parties.

From the way the headline is written, I expected him to be worth a few million bucks. He's worth $200k (from an undeveloped piece of land in Uganda) and whatever cash savings he doesn't have to declare, derived from his legislative income.

Sadly not a new phenomenon. Many veterans have been deported over the years, often because of drug problems they acquired after PTSD from their time in the service.

The most powerful figure in Congress is insisting that a measure passed by Congress in an effort to reassert Congress's rightful role in the constitutional order is actually unconstitutional and his Congress should have less authority and influence. The saddest set of eunuchs in world history.

This op-ed is extraordinarily authoritarian. Uses outright lies to justify illegal attack on Harvard and cruelty toward international students. A whiff of fascism. How could WaPo run this? thttps://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/06/23/kristi-noem-harvard-foreign-students-dhs-restriction/

The US, the UK, and China have all issued shelter in place warnings for their embassies in Qatar. DHS issued a national terrorism advisory for the US until September 22. I’m not sure I like the golden age

Charlie Kirk is peak cringe. Sorry, but I’m not shelling out a fortune in tuition just to watch my daughter groomed into submission by some Christian conservative dude with 1950s values and a podcast mic. My daughter is her own woman.

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.

CJ Roberts, writing for conservative supermajority, upholds bans on gender affirming care for minors in roughly half the states. Sotomayor suggests the standard he used would have upheld state bans on interracial marriage.
