Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

There was extensive documented debate at the time 14A was drafted as to whether it would apply to Chinese railroad workers and gold rush workers' children. The answer was unequivocally that yes, it did. (5/3)

Not a criticism of this (excellent!) thread, or Casten in particular, but I do think Democrats need to start laying out clear, definitive and escalatory steps they plan to take in response if/when SCOTUS goes through with this.
The 14th Amendment says that all people born in America, regardless of race are citizens and have a right to equal protection under the law. For SCOTUS to be remotely confused on that text speaks to their racism, not the Constitution (1/3) www.cnn.com/2025/12/05/p...

It's over.
Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

this idea is what makes America the greatest nation on Earth. it's not our economy, it's not our military, it's certainly not the quality of our leaders - it's our people. it's the idea that anyone can come to America and participate equally in being an American.
I cannot imagine the brain that believes their own citizenship is cheapened by the growth of the American citizenry.
That’s a goddamn triumph. That’s us winning.

I took two trains at 3:30-4 on Wednesday that were so crowded that people got left on the platform. The MTA absolutely should not be placing any more orders for new trains that are not open gangway, the trains are way too crowded for them to drag their feet like this.
There were 4,603,859 subway rides on Wednesday, which is a new post-pandemic record. Slowly, we’re approaching 4,697,122 rides from March 11, 2020 which was the last moment 4.6 million people rode the subway before things fell off a cliff
