There’s nothing wrong with looking at a candidate’s fitness for office. I understand the concerns a lot of people express about Biden. I felt the same way after that miserable debate. But the discussion’s over unless Biden changes his mind, because today he made it clear that he’s not quitting.

I am glad this piece about the Heritage Foundation threatening civil war if the left doesn’t accept a monarchy came out in the WaPo. More like this, please.

Since my childhood on LI, I’ve been an Irish Republican. “England Out Of Ireland” has always resonated with me. I cheered the Good Friday Accords. I believe Brexit made Irish reunification more likely. I think the crazy-quilt economic border with GB & EU will make referendum more likely soon.

So, they stole the children's food and shelter money

Now they sue the people that exposed the fraud to get money and the identities of the whistleblowers

"Rabbit's got the gun" says Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant's lawyer William M. 'Billy' Quin II, with a smirk

Bryant seems complicit

Eighteen months ago, Merrick Garland crippled the January 6th prosecutions he had slow-walked for almost as long. But the key to his method was that no one would be talking about *him* when it all came to nothing -- and that worked almost perfectly. homeyesterday.com/merrick-garl...

The crux of this is that these people feel sincerely entitled to a president who fits their personal preferences, rather than just trying to get the least fucked-up and harmful option in a busted system where bad interests have lots of power

Both the “black jobs” remark and using palestinian as a slur are hopefully clarifying as to actual Trump’s ideology and worldview, in contrast with the imaginary trump some people have built up in their heads as the memory of his administration has receded

Great summary of where exactly we are. If you saw this in another country, you’d shrug, offer some platitudes, and go on with your life. Unfortunately, it is possible that we will do the same here—even though the evil is right here, right now.

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.

Roberts announces that the overruling of Chevron will *not* overrule or re-open all cases decided under the Chevron framework, as a matter of stare decisis. I have limited confidence that announcement will age well, if the GOP gets to name additional Justices.
