Another person finally had enough.
🔥 A former president & a former chairman of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI) resigned from ISI’s board on Friday. One of them posted this warning that “conservative institutions are being systematically…undermined by post-liberals who promote a ‘no enemies to the right’ mindset.” 1/

Trump’s going to veto this because it doesn’t give him a cut
Senators look at Trump's shameless corruption and say "give us some of that"
Buried inside the deal to reopen government is a provision that would give Senators private right of action to sue for millions in damages over their phone records being analyzed by Jack Smith's team.

I love, love, love that House Republicans aren't in DC and so they can't even get a vote in to reopen the government.

Just an f-you news dump for voting to reopen the government.
BREAKING

The only 5D chess move here would be agreeing to take this up if it passes the House and letting House Republicans kill it.

Then you give the votes for what you want. Sounds like it might be the opposite though

These agents are bad and doing bad things. The administration is putting them in a position almost no one is capable of handling well.

This is a recipe for disaster for everyone involved

The structure of the federal government requires agreement by groups selected on 3 different ways from the population. That is inherently conservative.

The Senate is already not majoritarian. The power of leadership and majority parties are are not majoritarian. Same with committees.
one thing i find crazy-making is the idea that getting rid of the filibuster would make congress a purely majoritarian institution. bicameralism itself is counter-majoritarian! equal state representation is counter-majoritarian! the fact that senate elections are staggered is counter-majoritarian!

Everyone's true "welcome to the Big Ten" moment is not when they win a conference title, or beat Ohio State or Michigan. It's the first time they drown in a bathtub at Iowa when its like, 38 degrees outside.

Imagine being the Solicitor General and signing that fucking brief.
LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR: DOJ DID ALL OF THIS TO TRY AND STOP PAYMENTS TO PEOPLE UNDER AN ANTI-HUNGER PROGRAM.
Oh, this is wild.

DOJ went to SCOTUS *before* we got the First Circuit's administrative stay denial. (We know this because DOJ just filed a letter at SCOTUS about the admin stay denial.)

So, DOJ went to SCOTUS b/c the First Circuit did not meet its less-than-seven-hour "deadline" for a ruling.

The strategy of putting Donald Trump in front of the camera to talk is not good. People like the idea of him for some reason, but I don't think anyone but Trump likes Trump.
Trump: "When I took over it was a mess. I have inflation way down. I have it down to a normal number right now. Lower than a normal number in my opinion, I think."

My daughter and I explore San Diego every Tuesday. We went to a diner where a New York native was very, very loudly talking about how Mamdani was a bad news communist.

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.
