Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

Okay, so I did it. In honor of Sandwich Guy, on what should be the last day of his trial, I figured out the chords. And so, with apologies to the late and great Bob Marley, I banged out this quick and (very) rough rendition of "I Threw the Sandwich." 🤣

Newsom: I cannot wait for all the punditry. Historic victories all across the United States of America. Proposition 50 winning by double digits. A new governor of New Jersey, a new governor in Virginia.
I’ll end as I began: thank you for giving a damn.

There was so much trust that our leaders would be decent people, that they would revere their positions and our traditions and serve all of the people. So the guardrails - like BUILDING PERMITS AT THE WHITE HOUSE - are not in place. We need to be looking at laws from the top to the bottom.
"Jen, if I want to add a bathroom to my house that I'm sitting in right here, I gotta get 16 permits." James Carville wonders at how Donald Trump was able to arbitrarily wreck the White House.

Good thing the press corps has decided to suffer all the indignities and outrages so they can keep their important physical access, that unique inside ability to report on what's really going on in the White House, like if they're planning to imminently tear down a large chunk of it.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death.

In the midst of a government shutdown, and in the face of fundamental challenges to the rule of law and to democratic accountability, the House of Representatives--the people's house, the heart of our democratic republic--hasn't cast a vote since Sep. 19. An extraordinary failure of responsibility.

if we are going to have a supreme court that is as powerful as it is, i basically think justices should be forbidden from public comment on their work as well as any supplemental source of income while they are on the bench. (they should also ride circuit again but that's a bit separate.)
The substance of what she's saying is bad and unconvincing, but more fundamentally, I really don't think Supreme Court justices should be going on book tours where they publicly comment on their work and respond to criticism of it. Either put it in a written opinion or hold your peace.
Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."
