Found the coolest website that takes random found cassette tapes people submit and digitizes them. I’m listening to an NYC hip hop station from 1994: intertapes.net

New, from me: by embracing unitary executive theory, the Supreme Court is moving towards making all public employees fireable at the will of the President.
This will not just hurt government competence, it will aid democratic backsliding. 🧵

In one of the stories about the nativity display in Massachusetts, DHS spox Tricia McLaughlin went out of her way to say the nativity scene was a lie because “ICE does not separate families.” It “NEVER happens,” she wrote (emphasis in original).

US and Ukraine didn’t make any progress, come on.
US told Ukraine to bow down to Putin in various ways, Ukraine went point by point explaining why they won’t do that, and the US president berated them more.
The whole thing remains a farce, since the US keeps pretending Russia isn’t the problem.

One point worth emphasizing here: The punditry has been saying Sherrill (and Spanberger) represent the sane centrist wing of the party versus the left. Well, okay, but here Sherrill is urging more fight. Again, the results show that anti-Trump + affordability can *unite* the party. This shows how.
This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.
