It cannot be stressed enough that adjusting the size of the Supreme Court in the 19th c. was a serious solution to serious concerns about how the Court functioned. As @earlymodjustice.bsky.social points out, reform often addressed imbalances. And these imbalances were often about REPRESENTATION. 1/

Trump distancing himself from Project 2025 is politics. It’s what politicians do when they find themselves attached to policies that turn off voters. The trial balloon popped and exploded. But people like Maggie Haberman treating Trump like he’s the aggrieved party, the victim of liberal media, JFC

Good reporting on an entirely predictable problem. Fun fact: Airbnb also covers up thousands of sexual assaults every year! Its internal safety team has "cool-down rooms" to take a break from the trauma of what they hear. It's a bad company, a bad industry, and people should just stay in hotels.

The 2024 Republican platform "softens" the party's stance on abortion, in the sense that it's carefully worded to get "softens" in the headline while still letting anti-choice extremists know the GOP's on their side. www.salon.com/2024/07/09/c...

One thing that annoys me about the Democratic consultant class is how they act like they're brass-knuckle streetfighters and yet don't have the stones to run nonstop ads about Trump's extensive connections to Jeffrey Epstein. It's all true! It's documented! There are photos!

seems like what happened in france is that centrism and leftism each identified the other as the favorable alternative to fascism, voters who identify with either accepted this as true, and the far-right was marginalized as a result, which is... the opposite of pitting them against one another?

Wow. @nytimes.com has closed their Threads account and left the platform after days of getting just shredded in the replies for their handling of Biden post debate.

Now they're getting dog piled on Instagram for running from Threads.
