I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer.
The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial.
Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.

China's solar generated 839 TWh in 2024 and will likely exceed 1,200 TWh in 2025.

This is a completely insane argument from Sotomayor, and is directly hostile to a constitutional form of government. Either we are all bound and protected by that document or it’s meaningless.
Justice Sotomayor suggests—implausibly—that justices somehow have a vested property interest in their office. Yet another reason why relying on judges to be reformers is an absolute disaster.
