Since her Weiner honeypot debut I’ve always felt she belonged more on Fleet Street. She’s tabloid but ladder-conscious in that way many UK reporters seem to be.

Also there was a sense on J6 that our institutions had grotesquely failed in allowing it to happen but now that failure is the institution itself. There's no longer any ideal to betray, there's no pretense that the country should not be that

swing voters and undecided voters basically by definition think about and engage with politics differently than anyone on this site, anyone who writes for the ny times, and the vast majority of the times’ subscribers. otherwise they wouldn’t be undecided/swing voters.

The correct response to Chevron being overturned is for every single environmental group to start filing millions of lawsuits, right now, today, arguing that various regulatory decisions didn't go far enough. Absolutely flood the zone.

If you've ever thought Reader's Digest contributed nothing to society, let me tell you that two of the Klansmen in the Mississippi Burning conspiracy were badly beaten in the federal prison in Texarkana when fellow inmates read an article about them in a Reader's Digest in the prison library.

Alito cares too much. It's his Achilles Heel. He's incapable of cultivating the Clarence Thomas "fuck it" vibe.

A serious attempt by legislators or a candidate to invalidate a plainly valid election to install someone who plainly lost the election as president is not a "legal hack" or "finalizing results". It is treason. It is a treason against the United States and its citizens. We shouldn't dance around it.
