if the president does it, it's not illegal. unless by "it" you mean delegating any regulatory authority whatsoever to the administrative state at any point in the past.

The electoral problem has become, as the IRA gloated to Thatcher, that the GOP only needs to get lucky once and the Democrats need to be lucky forever. Either they’re going to do something about the court - now, not eventually - or we will simply play iterations of this game until the GOP wins.

not sure you're taking into account how illustrative this escalatory sharpness was, given especially the pressures—presumably upon her—constituted by how buffeted others in the party have been.

the pundits are really saying that NC is flippable, bc biden lost by only 75k in 2020. by the end of the night there will be at least 75k NC dems who decided to vote uncommitted. a state w/voter id; no same day registration. thIs is the only story. you know how easy it is *not* to vote in a primary?

This Bill Ackman piece in New York Mag is incredible, and I specifically like this made up scenario which is based on how he thinks regular people who wash dishes communicate (by emailing status updates to each other). I also want to meet the wife that is mad that her husband isn't more like Ackman

i stopped teaching in 2021, so only saw the destructive power of the pandemic in the classroom as an ominous nascent force. but what chance do we have at addressing this loss when we have not even grappled with the smartphone?

It’s uncomfortable to be a person who doesn’t need to be finding solutions all the time, but can just live in the difficulty and accept help. —@lazenby.bsky.social This second episode, even more than the first, shows what the combination of these friends and this show can unearth. It’s great.

so true — he also *firmly* pre-announced that he will not be drawn into another financial debate with Dennis, even driving the point home by adding, as a tag, that: he really will not. teachable moment for managers everywhere!

especially appreciate how you didn't burden your analyses with talk of the desperate defense arguments we're seeing — that the president is somehow not an officer of the u.s.; or that the presidential oath doesn't include the word "support". y'know, how they essentially concede the insurrection part

boy I'm so proud of all you pundits today, boldly sashaying into the discourse around the 14th amendment's textually clear and facially unambiguous disqualification of insurrectionists from ever holding u.s. office with your fascinating counterarguments of "durrrr but think how it's gonna look"

endeavored to try and learn how the fuck the nba in-season tournament works, and instead mostly learned about a disease called myasthenia gravis through a baroque pharmaceutical ad that autoplayed. returned to twitter in befuddlement to read another "digital ad market dries up" article.
