The other night I was idly watching the sixth episode in a new-to-me TV series on Netflix and about 10 minutes before the end of the episode the playback froze. After trying to restart it for a bit I exited and re-opened Netflix and the entire series had disappeared, apparently deleted from the app.

America hired a serial bakrupt man and allowed him to put Stephen Miller in charge of policy.

His economic advisors are rewarded for sycophancy, and as a result, he started a trade war with China that backfired YUGELY.

Let's talk about the viability of their "security strategy," shall we?

Anyway, if you're surprised at all about the SCOTUS decision, remember

- Bush v Gore chose the president on such nakedly partisan grounds they put in the opinion that it couldn't be used as future precedent

- Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Alito & Barrett all served on W's election legal team

AOL Time Warner was only 25 years ago!!!

The ol' Internet Buys Hollywood story, how did that work out y'all
as you dig through coverage of the Netflix Warner Bros merger, play a little game with me:

notice how many of them mention, at ALL, the two decade history of disastrous previous Time Warner mergers, and the massive layoffs, price hikes, and quality erosion that resulted

Now MAGA-GOP won't let Smith appear before them in public. Only behind closed doors. Imagine that.
NBC NEWS: Jack Smith’s final report “said that Trump ‘inspired his supporters to commit acts of physical violence’ by spreading ‘demonstrably and, in many cases, obviously false’ claims about the 2020 election.”

people keep asking why bradley is covering for hegseth or the admin, and that’s the thing, from what we know, he isn’t. he ordered the execution of two men hanging onto a capsized boat with no capacity to call for help, because he could and because he knows this admin will not hold him to his oaths
this manages to legitimately be way worse than all the leaks that were being fed to the papers last night
bradley ought to be in chains

Unbelievable.

The boat was split in half. 9 men were dead. 2 more clung to a floating piece of wreckage and tried desperately to flip it over for 41 minutes straight. There was no possible way they were going anywhere.

Then they were killed in cold blood by the U.S. military.

The Supreme Court paved the way for a felon to return to the presidency — where, behind the shield of office, that felon has ordered a string of murders.

Alito on the first point he finds “decisive”: “the impetus for the adoption of the Texas map…was partisan advantage plain & simple.”

Red herring. Everyone concedes this.

What's changed is that the Court has become more transparent in its corruption. There's not even an argument here beyond the implicit one which is: how do you expect us to hold the House without those seats?

Kagan's dissent is all scorchers, but this is really frying me. As long as state legislatures wait until the last possible minute, according to the SCOTUS majority, they can *always* get away with rigging the lines—no matter how flagrantly—because it'll be the "eve of an election."
