He should accept a foreign prince or potentate's gift of expensive moisturizing skin cream, thereby thumbing his nose at the Emollients Clause.

Is Thomas's idea of originalism just that you can't make any laws that didn't already exist?

The state of Florida prevented cities from lighting up their bridges in rainbow colors for Pride month. So people did it themselves anyway.

Now DeSantis will order arrests for the people who "deface" public property by shining filtered flashlights on the other bridges and buildings.

Biden walks away from the lectern at the end of his press conference just now. Reporter: “Mr. President, can you tell us, sir: Donald Trump refers to himself as a political prisoner and blames you directly. What’s your response to that, sir?”  (pauses, turns back, makes this expression, walks away)

What's notable is Rufo's extremely unsubtle appeal to vanity and wounded pride. The entire movement depends on the toxic combination of poor character+entitlement+ambition. See JD Vance.

I’m also reading Dracula and it absolutely rules—so much about the anxieties of empire built into this gothic novel, and Stoker really uses the epistolary form to its fullest potential. Really fun summer read!

I use Maher to illustrate the difference between contrarianism and actual rational skepticism. He's a germ theory denialist and vaccine conspiracy nut because it aligns with his smug self-image as a bold iconoclast speaking truth to power.

I am over 40 years old. At no point in my life has either Bill Maher or Maureen Dowd said anything interesting, thoughtful, useful, or even amusing. They are tipsy country club regulars whose reach should not exceed the room they are in.

Judge Merchan is reading Trump memes reposted by prospective jurors into the record and periodically apologizing for any offense given. The latest: "Trump invites the Thai boys to the White House, and the boys request to return to their cave."

One thing cut for length: My personal experience demonstrating that, ultimately, Republicans just don't think rape is a big deal, as long as the rapist is white.

I was pretty angry with Trump-voting relatives in 2016, because I am a rape survivor....

Not sure the mainstream press is really up to the task of assessing anyone's mental acuity - Trump's been going around saying "I'm going to take all of Texas' army guys and make them invade California" and the response to that has been "Well anyway!"

A reminder: last time Trump was in office, he started a trade war that cost NC farmers $250m.

But the full financial hit NC farmers have taken from the Trump presidency is more like 10x that- about $2 billion.

How? Trump killed the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

New York. 2034. The judge enters. "We're here for the 185th case in Carroll vs Trump". Eight lawyers for Carroll enter, dressed in suits made of solid gold. Trump's attorney enters looking like Castaway Tom Hanks. The judge begins "let's get started". The foreman shouts "$80 billion". Judge sighs.
