And just as a reminder, the Obama-era IRS "scandal" the right was so enraged about here was the agency simply questioning whether explicitly partisan Tea Party organizations were eligible for a specific tax-exempt status that, by law, forbade the recipients from engaging in partisan politics.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

Taney brought us the disastrous Dred Scott, but Roberts has delivered horrible rulings on a wide variety of issues — Citizens United, Heller, Shelby County, Brnovich, Dobbs, and of course Trump v US.

Genuine question: when they look back on his court, will it be seen as worse than Taney?

Trump and the Republicans more broadly are highly unpopular right now. Does that seem to have restrained them, to force them to tack towards the centre, to temper their ambitions? Perhaps there is something there the Democrats could actually learn from.
The story of the last 10 years has been the establishment Democratic Party being so terrified of polls and focus groups that it has allowed the GOP to shape the national political narrative entirely according to its own ends.

I am further convinced that every pundit and journalist who’s stayed on Elon’s Nazi adjacent electronic bulletin board has had their brains completely cooked. They’re fine using the R-word. They casually joke around with race scientists. They don't even flinch at literal Nazis in their timeline.
like for every centrist pundit that says, "oh, you learn to live with this in your replies": what do you think this does to your soul
i don't think being on a site that gives anti-Black racism 20k likes is good for the soul

When Eric Adams, a corrupt dirtbag centrist cop, won the primary four years ago, mainstream white media was quick to anoint him as "the future" of the Democratic party. Nate Silver said he's be the party's presidential nominee.
Mamdani wins and it's like "oh, shit, well, there's still the general."

How is the president seeing "dollar signs" and using the money for his pet programs a legal predicate for punishing universities? If Joe Biden "saw dollars signs" in car dealerships and demanded that they pay fines to fund green energy programs, would the Times cover it this way?

A few people I interact with treat liberalism as something inherent to the Western world that can’t spread effectively elsewhere for vague reasons of “culture” — but cultures change all the time, stealing ideas from elsewhere

it's not an accident that "originalism" emerged concurrently with small government conservatism and the "neoliberal turn." conservatives offered a vision of how the constitution ought to be understood and how the political order ought to be structured in addition to making a policy argument.
