My religion is “a joyous and trusting fatalism.” But I am currently nonpracticing.
Repeal the ASPA.
Trumpism and Trumpists are incompatible with American culture and traditions and should be purged.

This is wild.
Spectacular #longread on the history of the right-wing opposition in Venezuela, and how during Juan Guaido's shadow government an abominable legal strategy robbed the country of $30 billion destined for corporate claims holders. Amazing work from Moe Tkacik.

Here is a draft for a social media post selling the concept and utility of NotebookLM, Google's AI-powered research and writing assistant. This post highlights its key benefits for busy professionals and content creators.
Just starting to play around with Notebook LM for my next project and...wow. Feels like a totally game-changing way to manage sources and research.

Just a death cult.
Exclusive: Republicans plan to challenge vehicle-safety mandates, such as automatic emergency braking and alarms that remind drivers a child is in the back seat.

Republicans are questioning the value of some features, such as automatic braking and rear-seat reminders.

The GOP is the party of identity politics par excellence.
There are times Antonin Scalia thought diversity was important and necessary (when it got him nominated to the Supreme Court), and times when he thought it was ridiculous and illegal (when there were Black kids going to Harvard)
Antonin Scalia Was a Diversity Hire
The late justice spent his career ridiculing the notion that elite institutions had any interest in diversity. He might not have made the Supreme Court without it.

Classic example of the “no true threat to democracy” fallacy.
Tyler Cowen saying again that there is no threat to democracy marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevo... because Trump is facing opposition and is sensitive to public opinion, but this is how competitive authoritarianism works. Please consult @dziblatt.bsky.social or @stevelevitsky.bsky.social!

I was about to make a joke about how Judge Brown had really earned his paycheck from George Soros—thinking that there was no way an opinion even this unhinged would resort to that tired, delusional trope. I’m not too proud to admit that I was wrong.
Judge Jerry Smith's dissent from the decision that Texas' redrawn congressional map is an unconstitutional racial gerrymander is now available.

And holy shit it goes hard.

Sorry judge, I was ordered to violate Brady. 🤷
BREAKING: Prosecutors in the Comey case just told the judge that they’re under orders from the Deputy Attorney Generals’s office not to disclose whether career prosecutors wrote a memo recommending *against* indicting Comey prior to Halligan going to the grand jury.

“The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” U.S. Const. Art. II sec. 4. Seems pretty explicit.

The party of “the nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the Government, and I’m here to help” has concerns that Trump may be eroding trust in government.
After the last decade I tend to be very skeptical about the potential for a MAGA crackup but if *Tony Perkins* is saying this something is happening

Best thing Clinton could do for the nation right now is call a press conference to announce that he did not have sexual relations with that man.
The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

She loved him. She loved his eyes, blue as the flame. She loved that the sight of something as trivial as a rose could move him to tears. She loved his insatiable appetites and his particular complications and particular darkness.
