A nugget I found while researching for a @csmonitor.bsky.social article: detached single-family homes use TWICE as much energy on A/C than apartments in buildings with 5+ units.
Dense urban environments are better for the climate, especially in extreme heat. 🧪

IDK kind of feels like we should be paying more attention to a prominent conservative think tank saying we're in the midst of a second american revolution that will remain bloodless as long as long as the left lets it be, then whether or not Biden should step down.

The president is himself forever immune from prosecution for crimes committed using his official power, and he can pardon anyone for helping him to commit federal crimes, explicitly including an actions in furtherance of a coup to illegally hold onto the office of the presidency. That’s the upshot.

Homeless people can be arrested for sleeping, Presidents cannot be arrested for rampant graft and corruption done while in office. There is no clearer a summary of "conservative 'law and order'" than this.

A country where a minority of voters can elect a president with king-like authority and impunity and federal agencies that lack the power to do any of the things they are meant to do if big rich companies say they don't like it. Culmination shit for the right wing project.

Anyway, people need to understanding overturning Chevron, like Bruen, isn't about setting up a conservative standard of review. It's about giving the court a reason to review (and strike down) any law or regulatory action they want.

Fine, I'm saying it: If Republicans get a trifecta, all signs point to attempts to revive language in the Fugitive Slave Act to round up/ kidnap people seeking abortions (even in incest and rape) or gender-affirming care across state lines to be prosecuted for Class I felonies. Look at Idaho.
