How do you eradicate hunger, STDs, illiteracy, poverty?
It’s actually quite simple. You stop measuring them.

Justice KBJ is a brilliant strategist. She is working the rules to compel timely review of the stay in the SNAP case by both the Circuit Court and by the Supreme Court. This is why knowing which SCOTUS justice has supervision of the Circuit you file in is essential.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Does the Speaker of the House know what's going on in the country?
It's not clear that he does, as Mike Johnson's communication strategy seems to rely heavily on being unaware. When faced with questions he should be able to answer, he has a reliable response: "I don't know."

Still appalled at how paltry and terrible the NYT coverage of the protests were and how nobody there feels any responsibility to address the criticism. This was not something that caught them off guard. This was many levels of decisions.

I was in Tokyo for Roki Sasaki’s MLB debut. He was such a mess his first warm up pitch sailed 10 feet above the catcher’s head to the backstop.
The raw stuff was always there but he was pitching scared.
What an unbelievable turnaround.

Indicting political opponents & critics because they are political opponents & critics is terrifying.
It's completely inconsistent with the rule of law & democracy.
It should scare everyone - and (hopefully) will get people to realize that we all need to stand against this.
