My 4 points on abolishing the filibuster:
- Constitutionally, the Senate is already designed to be a drag on pure majoritarian rule.
- It has been used mainly for vile purposes, e.g. segregation.
- When has it ever helped us?
- Gridlock is bad. Shutdowns are bad. Debt ceiling standoffs are bad.

You’re Comparing Trump to the Wrong Fascist Dictator
The “Is Trump Hitler?” debate misses his sinister parallels to another 20th-century European tyrant.

So the administration told all the agencies enforcing anti-discrimination laws that disparate impact is no longer a valid theory, yet it's perfectly good for identifying reverse discrimination? The bald-faced intellectual dishonesty is endless. My soul vomits.

Legit question: A big part of the Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine narrative was that big pharma and the captured FDA won’t research new uses for old drugs because it’s not profitable. What has RFK Jr done to promote research into new uses for unpatentable compounds? Any grants? Any new institutes?

@andrewrsorkin.bsky.social brother, you kept calling Robinhood's tokenized sale of OpenAI equity a "derivative." That's too exotic. It's just an investment company aka mutual fund.

We're in an era of book burners.

The total cost of the books is about $1,700. Police told the library system that the man's failure to return or pay for the books would become a civil matter turned over to the city prosecutor.
Man checks out 100 books from Beachwood Library, then posts on social media video of those books burning
A man applied for a card from the Beachwood Library and, over two visits, withdrew 100 books. He posted two videos, one in which he burned all of the books.
