Basically THE central promise of a Biden presidency was that you wouldn’t have to worry or think about things like “the president is feuding with George Clooney because of some shit in the newspaper.” Alas.

I saw birth control pills over the counter in Costco last week. Renewables are the second biggest source of energy in the US. Don't tell me nothing good ever happens.

my $0.02 is that there’s widespread fatalism on here about democrats’ ability to set media narratives but there is no faster way to shift the focus to trump also being old than for biden to say he’s too old for run and that it’s time for a younger generation to step forward

A president supporting court packing for the explicit purpose of reigning in presidential power, including his own, after a Supreme Court made a wildly un-American, precedent-breaking decision to expand it, would be making the best case for a president to support court-packing.

“The Court’s conservative majority has revealed itself to be the most direct threat to American democracy and any Democrat who is not ready to shelve old fears about “court packing” and get serious about expanding and reforming the Court isn’t made for this moment” @kevinmkruse.bsky.social

America can accept this Supreme Court as legitimate and its rulings as the final word - or it can have true democracy and a functioning state. But not both.

So based on decisions from just this week, the President, as long has he has the gloss of officialdom, can basically do anything without legal restraint, whereas the President, acting via duly appointed agencies authorized by Congress, is more restrained than ever? What a coherent jurisprudence!

in a country founded directly on "no kings, fuck kings in particular" it is beyond insulting that supposed "originalist" judges are taking seriously the proposition that the President is in fact a king

Biden leaned into climate & environmental justice, & delivered in ways that would’ve been unimaginable a decade ago. It’s a huge part of the Admin priorities & accomplishments- b/c it’s important! We always need to push for more, forever. But if the climate coalition shrugs “meh”, we aren’t serious.

The complete power grab by the Supreme Court is pretty much complete. Anything the legislative branch does can be ruled out and now anything the executive branch does can be vetoed by the judicial branch

The right wing majority on scotus legalizes bribery and criminalizes homelessness because to them, rich people deserve rights and poor people deserve nothing. If they were deserving they’d be rich.

The thing about the Presidential debate is the Biden administration has done a lot of things I like, while Trump is a twice impeached convicted felon and civilly liable sexual assaulter with three more felony cases pending (including one for playing a key role in a violent insurrection)...

the climate story right now is in a very weird state of flux a) the warming we've priced in is bad and really starting to show itself b) the renewable story is astoundingly good and getting better we are left with "warming is going to get worse but almost certainly not as much as it could have"

Bitcoin consumes about 2.5% of US electricity, about the same as all residential cooling. An article decrying *that* electricity usage as a personal moral failing would be much less tone deaf.

A good reason for the Democrats to fix the courts is that no one understands how the courts work and just blames the President when they fuck things up www.nytimes.com/2024/06/17/u...

You might think this story isn’t applicable to you because you’re not in New York, but it’s important because it illustrates our basic problem: Every issue you care about is held hostage by a ruling class that is incapable of doing the right thing because it might make some suburban cops mad
