Donald Trump is my inspiration. Though aging, I eat the healthiest of regimens, workout even when tired, and meditate religiously to keep myself calm in the face of his daily shit-show. You see, I want to be at my best when the news arrives he is either behind bars or otherwise no longer with us.

A different kind of Supreme Court oral argument preview:
The tariffs case isn't a hard question on the law. It is a hard question if you're a GOP-appointed justice caught between your billionaire patrons and Trump's authoritarian ambitions:

On tariffs, the Supreme Court must choose between the president and their plutocratic patrons
This case is all about power and loyalty.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments today over President Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on almost every nation on earth, in ever-changing amounts.
But the real question before the high court? Will the conservative justices honor the president—or their plutocratic patrons?

If yesterday’s election results were a bellwether for the midterms and 2028, ending the filibuster would be a godsend to Democrats
New in PN: Trump wants Republicans to kill the filibuster. Great!
"The problem for Democrats is they simply want to do more things than Republicans do, so a status quo of near-total gridlock hurts them more than it hurts the GOP, for whom a govt unable to solve problems is a feature, not a bug."

These are stunning numbers. Republicans aren't immune from the pressure this creates.

Wholeheartedly agree. Let's get this show on the road. Asap.
Until we pass a nationwide ban on gerrymandering (which we need), Democrats should gerrymander every state to the fullest extent. 52-0 in CA, 17-0 in IL, and so on. No more unilateral disarmament. Time to get serious about fighting back.
