Big news: A state judge just struck down New York's 11th district, which is a GOP-heavy seat in Brooklyn & Staten Island.
Plaintiffs aligned with Democrats had sued to get the seat struck down for disenfranchising Black and Latino voters.
If upheld, could mean a new map + extra seat for Dems.

I know it's less fun, but can we start acknowledging that Rudy is still a better defender than Wemby?
Rudy: 107/123 drtg on/off split, 98 on drtg in 4q
Wemby: 107/117 drtg on/off split, 117 on drtg in 4q

John Roberts, somewhere to someone: "sure this seems bad, but it would be worse if he didn't act on this belief out of fear of consequences"
sam’s thread helps clarify something for me, which is the underlying theory behind trump’s action. trump does not see himself as a president in a system of shared authority, he sees himself as sovereign, with unchecked authority over everything.
I see some suggestions, in the reporting regarding the OMB impoundment order, that a mere delay in spending appropriated funds is legal. But that's not really true. The delay OMB has ordered specifically contradicts the Impoundment Control Act. A thread.

Were they on Anthony Weiner's laptop? Hunter Biden's?
The Justice Department said it found over a million more pages of Jeffrey Epstein documents, extending the time it will take for a full release. A law passed by Congress gave the department a deadline of last Friday to release the files. nyti.ms/49rG0QL
A Million More Epstein Documents Have Been Found, Justice Dept. Says
Democratic lawmakers, who had criticized the Justice Department’s release of the material, accused the Trump administration of violating the law mandating the release of the files.

@nytimes.com's Ezra Klein, probably: In June I made a prediction: "I suspect we are at or near peak daylight vibes for the year in the northern hemisphere." Now, as the year grinds to its end, I think it can be said more declaratively: the daylight vibe shift is dead.

Confused by the ultraprocessed food discussion. From what I can tell the issue is less the "ultraprocessing" and more the ingredients and additives. If ultraprocessed foods are cheaper to make and widely distribute, why not just better regulate them to ensure they're healthier?

ActBlue is a payment processor. Almost anyone who’s given to a D candidate in the last 20 years could be mischaracterized as a “ActBlue funder.”
Listing five Jews, two of whom are long dead, as “ActBlue funders” secretly behind the Tesla protests is antisemitism.

Desperate, pathetic, and despicable
Email from Columbia President Armstrong makes clear that admin still has no idea what it’s dealing with. No amount of “serious action to combat antisemitism” (read: punish Palestine activists) will satisfy the Nazis. They see universities as an enemy institution to crush underfoot.
