We can be better than this—better than what we were before he started tearing it all down. It’s time we become, for the first time, the country we’ve claimed to be. Imagine.

This is our pilot-test little free pantry until we get one in the ground. It isn’t pretty, but it has food and personal care items for my neighbors, or anyone else who drives by.

Just act.

Not to defend Olivia Nuzzi, who broke every rule in journalism and promoted a charlatan to his current position. But it's incredibly telling that she will lose her job, but RFK Jr. gets to stay in his job despite the reports of his drug use, his affairs and his defenestrating of public health.

The sound Lisa Rubin @lawofruby.bsky.social made after Tom Dupree defended the shadow docket and said the court couldn’t have possibly made a different decision on the Texas maps was everything and represented my thoughts exactly. The most polite wtf I’ve ever heard. 😂

No bailouts for AI. Check your investment exposure. This bubble is going to burst.
"We have made a soft promise to investors that once we’ve built this sort of generally intelligent system, basically, we will ask it to figure out a way to generate an investment return for you.... You can laugh, it’s all right. But it is what I actually believe is going to happen."

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

Kagan: “this Court’s eagerness to playact a district court here has serious consequence.”

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake?

TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded

BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

Uhhh I’m guessing pawpaw gets a call from big oil because he isn’t keeping the narrative straight. Has anyone actually prevented the making of tiny cars other than market forces?
Thank you Mr President

These drugs are incredible! The unexpected benefits they’re finding in these trials are nuts. Life-saving stuff.

@rnflex.bsky.social is the person to follow for up-to-date info and interpretation, IMO.
I don't think we're fully prepared for the retatrutide trial data. Here's a participant from Triumph 3 which is the shorter CVOT trial they ran

"I just finished TRIUMPH 3 (cut short from 104 wks to 88 wks). Lost 37% of body weight, off all BP meds, and reduced cholesterol and thyroid meds"

Y’all who are fortunate enough to own stocks, whether retirement or otherwise, check your exposure to Tesla and AI and make some decisions.

Re: retirement—Unless you have a pension plan managed by the state or something similar, you can change your allocations from their default.
The top-10 carmakers by market cap make up 75% of global passenger car sales.

Tesla makes up less than 2%.

The Tesla bubble will be widely documented in history books.

Please explain this “logic” to me like I’m 5.

“Alito said…plaintiffs challenging the map needed to…produc[e] their own map [to] show [TX] partisan goals could be achieved by other means…failure to do so [is] “a strong inference that the state’s map was indeed based on partisanship, not race.’”
Supreme Court allows Texas to use new congressional district map drawn to favor Republicans
Texas officials drew the new congressional map to help Republicans gain up to five additional seats in the House in next year's midterm elections.

It's almost like mass conservative psychosis. Zero self-awareness; cold hearts; sealed minds; unrivaled arrogance. Such people belong nowhere near any court of justice, let alone the Supreme Court. They're utterly unfit; Christian zealots in robes.

Ditto. They’re going to gut the VRA, allow racially discriminatory gerrymanders, and then what?
Good luck reforming the court if they make sure Dems are never in charge again.
It simply makes me sad.

The VRA is next which has the possibility of blowing a hole in the midterms

This is the way. I don’t know of a viable alternative—best suggestion yet.

These rulings knock me down every time. The tide starts to appear to be turning, courts are (rightly) ruling against the bullshit, and then the six come in and make some shit up and further empower the R’s impunity.
Lower courts should simply continue to rule according to plain meaning of the Constitution. Ignore Scotus' twisted "interpretations" & so-called precedents. Scotus set the precedent for ignoring precedent. Force upon Scotus a backlog of overturning sound rulings & breaking oath every single time.

By law, the Department of Justice CAN go to another grand jury and try again. But even if they succeed (a big IF in this case), the DOJ will have handed Letitia James even more evidence for her vindictive prosecution motion to dismiss the charges. And that motion was already quite strong.

Yep, the Supreme Court really is just a House of Lords—a purely political branch with bizarre veto power, wielded capriciously and without accountability. Time for massive reform.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

It's like The Heritage Foundation and the Supreme Court actually hate America.

Jesus Christ. Get the 6 off the damn bench.
An absolutely appalling decision by the right-wing Supreme Court majority to approve the racially gerrymandered Texas map. 
 
Trump & his MAGA Rubber Stamps are trying to rig the game and silence voters. Now SCOTUS has signed off on this blatant power grab. Utterly Disgraceful.

Per the NYT, a bizarre legal fiction underlies this matter, i.e., a claim boats allegedly carrying drugs are engaged in armed combat. Based on that falsehood, the second strike may have been justified on the even more false premise that survivors, by radioing for help, were continuing the "fight."
