Impeachment, criminal investigation, and court expansion — oh my! Congressional Democrats are pushing back, hard, against the Supreme Court's ethical lapses and extremism.

There are 2 broad approaches to getting SCOTUS under control: personnel changes & structural reforms. Expansion is the simplest personnel reform; term limits w regularized appt is another. Structural reforms could mean reducing court's agenda control, requiring >5 votes to strike things down, etc.

Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy today addressed staff at the DCMS: “The era of culture wars is over.” She said the new government would invest in grassroots sports, and wanted to help working class kids succeed in drama, dance or journalism, adding that for too many “geography is destiny”.

I get that it was a surprise result, but it's very funny to me that UK papers are explaining who the left wing group is in France only after the election. Sums up UK media's seemingly endless coverage of right wing parties.

I have been reading The New York Times for decades. I applied to work there more than 30 years ago. But now I read Joseph Kahn's statement that the paper has offered "full and fair" coverage of President Biden, and that is enough, more than enough. I have canceled my subscription.

Tяump doesn’t like Vance’s beard.

He hasn’t raised the beard issue with Vance, insiders say, but like a number of ladies of MAGAville, Trump has repeatedly commented favorably on his “beautiful” blue eyes and long eyelashes. 😳

CLASSIFYING ABORTION AS A 14TH AMENDMENT ISSUE IS NOT "TEMPERING" LANGUAGE ON ABORTION, IT IS EXPLICITLY IDENTIFYING FETAL PERSONHOOD AS A PARTY GOAL THAT'S WHY THE GOP AGREED TO IT THEY LIKE IT IT DOES WHAT THEY WANT IT TO DO: ALLOW THE PROSECUTION OF ABORTION AS HOMICIDE

wild to me that "leave it up to the states," a view that was used to excuse and legitimize slavery AND SPARKED THE CIVIL WAR, is being cast as "softened" in the context of abortion, like it's fine, we'll just have HALF THE COUNTRY prosecuting abortion as homicide, as a soft, moderate compromise
