![A screenshot from the game The Great Ace Attorney. A 3D model of a young Japanese man in a dark school-uniform, rendered in an anime-esque style, is looking off to the side nervously. He is standing behind a defense attorney's desk: in the background there are several design elements, such as an old-fashioned lamp and blocks with sigils of a defense attorney's badge on them, signifying the game's setting in Meiji Japan. A text box below him reads "A country that fails to uphold the truth in its justice system is a country with no future at all." Attached to the top of the text box is his name, Ryunosuke, showing that he is the one speaking. The joke is that he looks nervous because we feel the same way due to [John Roberts] and the nominations of people like Emil Bove and Whitney Hermandorfer to federal district courts.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:msvrlt3ltwpl6jdlwiqkerh6/bafkreignhybf3fot35hgs2sp3eegjer35sgckpbue47a4q45hqxy6bq754@jpeg)

a significant reason Mamdani can get away with this and other Dems can’t is less that he’s charmed Trump and more that he’s charmed you, dear reader, which is why you’re not yelling at him for being a collaborator or an appeaser right now

lmao, California stays winning. get even more owned, Texas
The TX ruling would *not* invalidate CA's new districts. The amendment passed by Prop 50 mentions Texas, but there's no trigger provision. It's just an explanatory reference. ballotpedia.org/California_P...
![SEC. 4. (a) It is the policy of the State of California to support the use of fair, independent, and nonpartisan redistricting commissions nationwide. The people of the State of California call on the Congress of the United States to pass federal legislation and propose an amendment of the United States Constitution to require the use of fair, independent, and nonpartisan redistricting commissions nationwide.
(b) In response to the congressional redistricting in Texas in 2025, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Constitution or existing law, the single-member districts for Congress reflected in Assembly Bill 604 of the 2025–26 Regular Session pursuant to the requirements of Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 21400) of Division 21 of the Elections Code shall temporarily be used for every congressional election for a term of office commencing on or after the date this subdivision becomes operative and before the certification of new congressional boundary lines drawn by the Citizens Redistricting Commission pursuant to subdivision (d).
(c) (1) The Attorney General has the sole legal standing to defend any action regarding a congressional district map adopted pursuant to subdivision (b).
(2) The California Supreme Court has original and exclusive jurisdiction in all proceedings in which a congressional district map adopted pursuant to subdivision (b) is challenged.
(d) The Citizens Redistricting Commission established pursuant to Section 1 shall continue to adjust the boundary lines of the congressional, State Senatorial, Assembly, and Board of Equalization districts in conformance with the standards and process set forth in Section 2 in 2031, and every 10 years thereafter as provided in Section 1.[43]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:alqdxbp33ceoyly2o46nvcrc/bafkreihk67th23ahmgsomceqzbbmje3kdxqsbcsoirgbsn33bzlqpcdfgq@jpeg)

This is inside baseball, but to me, there are three ways in which this development *bears out* Justice Jackson's unusual intervention Friday night—about which there was much confusion.
First, this makes it clear that a majority of the Court was *not* going to force the USDA to fund SNAP by Friday.

So many responses tonight are like “who cares what good parts are in the law they passed, Trump won’t follow them anyway” and like, goddamn, listen to yourselves and ask why you even care for one second what’s in any of this, then.

Not very long ago at all, conventional wisdom on here was that pushing for ACA subsidies to be extended was stupid on Democrats’ part because it was just saving Republicans from themselves.

I think there is a near-pathological remove from which a lot of people on this website view politics. For all the talk about material conditions, a refusal to see the effects on material shutdown that have happened and were worsening. “Yeah but the other guy’ll get blamed” can change on a dime.

I think one thing we lose sight of is that it’s really easy to chant that we gotta touch the stove, and it’s a completely different thing to be the owner of the ongoing decision that 40 million people gotta go hungry. That’s a heavy thing and I’m not at all surprised that some Dems are worried.
