One of the defining feelings in American life, for decades now, is elites doing plainly criminal shit and nothing at all happening as a result. It is deranging in a way that virtually nothing else is. Media fixates on perceived street lawlessness but shit like this matters much more in my opinion.

It's good that public sentiment flipped as soon as people saw the consequences of the things they thought they wanted, but we have a serious problem if we're going to keep cycling through this process forever.

the unspoken assumption in this post is that the justices are not political actors and arrived at the immunity decision purely out of jurisprudential reasoning or idealogical lean and had nothing to do with trump being the standard bearer for their party in an election that was months away
Any DOJ/Garland counterfactual also has to reckon with the immunity ruling last year. It doesn’t really matter when or how the cases were brought if that was always going to be the endpoint.
as tempting as it is to blame this on garland personally, I think a lot of it was an ingrained, institutionally cautious culure at doj. it was (before january 2025) a building full of careful, by-the-book people

Mr. Political Instincts over here with the dumbest imaginable attempt at moderation on trans rights. You can't say that you'll protect LGBT policy while affirming bigotry in the next breath.
This doesn't appeal to the right, angers the left and reveals you as a worm to absolutely everyone.

Rowling’s post comes after a podcast interview with Watson, in which the latter said: “I really don’t believe that … holding the love and support and views that I have, mean[s] that I can’t and don’t treasure Jo and the person that I had personal experiences with.” Continue reading...

I love that a politician can say something like “I believe mice naturally spawn out of grain” and the news will now just treat that as a legitimate line of thought
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apparently embraces the outdated "miasma theory" of disease instead of the widely accept "germ theory" of disease, which may help explain some of the actions he's been taking.
