🤦🏻♂️ reading about this cave is making me physically ill.
i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

Saw Sabeel Rahman give a talk today our of New Haven. I understand the talk to be related to a forthcoming book project. If the talk is any indication of the final product, I would highly recommend y'all preorder the book before it comes available. It will be very, very important.

At some point, I’m going to introduce my kid to Star Wars. And when that happens, I just wish I have access to the much-discussed Tobey Maguire recut of the prequels that boils them down to one movie and starts with Duel of the Fates.

If more gentiles knew about Shabbat dinner, what it entails, and could score invites, there would be lines around the corner. This to me screams, “I have zero Jewish people in my life whatsoever.”

You have to give it to Trump, he really understands the *necessary* future of Democratic politics.
Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."

Big day for the “MQD, how much of a joke are we talking about” caucus.
20 minutes until the Ship Money— sorry, I mean, tariff— arguments at the Supreme Court.

Trump to Republican senators: "I thought we'd have a discussion after the press leaves about what last night represented and what we should do about it and also about the shutdown and how that relates to last night. If you read the pollsters, the shutdown was a big factor, negative for Republicans."

Well, Mamdani’s win and the rise of the New York Communist cabal means that we must finally kill the senate filibuster. I am personally devastated.

Hey, to me, 2026 is about running on Congress being Article I Again and 2028, Amend, Baby, Amend!

Please God, let him kill conservative legislative politics in the great self own of American history.
Trump: "It's time for Republicans to do what they have to do and that's terminate the filibuster ... we should start tonight with 'the country's open, congratulations,' then we should pass voted ID, we should pass no mail in voting ... you go to a grocery store, you have to give ID."

Really love and appreciate the working people at Yale Law School. They *always* ask about my kid, how the job hunt is going. They are so kind and always make my day.

If you’re buying anywhere from the 50s to the 70s, I think you ought to avoid those front pockets that you can put your hands in. All my favorite jackets from that era lack the front pockets, which imho mess up the fit.
Been waiting forever to bust this out. This is a 1960s Mr. 2 Ply jacket. It’s a major grail item in mid-century American workwear. The quilted interior is perfect for life up north. The cropped cut makes for a really satisfying silhouette. Can go for $250 these days.

I think I’ve decided that I want them to do the foreign affairs exception to the MQD. At some point, things in the law become so odious that any rollback is an almost totalizing objective.

Next frontier is huge 70s collars. I think “All the Presidents Men” made me associate this season with this fit.

Okay over-claimed here. DS9 rocks on far too many levels to count
That’s what I’m saying. I know Roddenberry was interested in portraying a utopia. The best Trek subverts that drive and takes a critical gaze at the Federation and Star Fleet. It’s why DS9 is incredible.

Civil right attorney basically pitching Dworkin to Star Fleet: “law is not a mirror to society,” it “is an ideal” that has to be worked towards justly by Herculean judges. There are apparently no Scalias in the Federation (duh).
S2 ep 2 of Star Trek Strange New Worlds sees a legal battle for basically con law judicial review of the reg on genetic modifications post-genetic wars. Pretty good illustration of the contest between seemingly sensible regs and pluralism when star fleet encounters a culture based on gen mod.

Star Trek is at its best when it critiques the Federation’s own illiberal tendencies. And the Star Fleet’s … flexible approach to the rule of law has to be front and center.
