NEW: Judge Andrew Oldham—a 5th Circuit Trump appointee auditioning for SCOTUS—just published a WILDLY inappropriate opinion criticizing Biden’s commutation of a man’s death sentence and strongly suggesting that Biden wasn’t lucid enough to know what he was signing. www.scribd.com/document/843...

One lesson from Stefanik’s humiliation is that having a sense of personal honor is better than having the king’s favor, because you get to keep the former even if your professional luck changes. Too bad she opted for the latter.

that Noem video reinforces my belief that there is a streak of sexualized sadism on the US right that goes back to lynching imagery but began in its most recent form with the enthusiasm for torture during the Bush years.

I’ve seen even folks on this site scolding Canadians for “overreacting” which I think misreads the power dynamic quite a bit. America is the biggest military power to have ever existed and I don’t think people understand what it’s like to contemplate being on the other end of that

It's been fully memory-holed, but Marco Rubio was elected to the Senate as a Tea Party candidate. He'll back whichever tendency within the Republican Party that seems ascendant and likely to move him ahead. Right now, that's fascism.

Literally every Black person who comes to DC visits the NMAAHC and it’s a big source of pride among a very broad swathe of people. Censoring the work there won’t be as frictionless as people imagine.

Disappearing people to avoid the jurisdiction of the court in which they were taken by the state is authoritarian to the core and runs afoul of the spirit of Article III, the Due Process Clause, and the principles that emerged from the Glorious Revolution and the American Revolution. Arbitrary rule.

If they pull Stefanik's nomination it won't be out of concern over a vacancy, New York law requires a fast turnaround on filling vacancies, as we famously saw last year. Their true concern is losing a special election in a district Trump won by 21 points. And they are right to worry about that!

Pulling the Stefanik nomination is a pretty good rebuttal to “nothing matters.” If the Trump admin weren’t so unpopular they’d have no concerns about that special election.
