Post-presidential immunity ruling, what is the likelihood of SCOTUS finding a way to select the next president itself? This seemed like a marginal possibility before, but now it's hard for me to imagine they wouldn't leap at the opportunity, no matter how flimsy their argument.

Just the phase 1 trial, but hopefully an important step toward an vaccine that prevents #COVID *infection,* and not just severe (acute) disease. If so, not only would it drastically reduce transmission, but it could provide MUCH stronger protection against #LongCOVID.

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

Man, if it turns out that the right winger telling NY Times readers that they should follow his example and not vote did in fact vote in the last two elections, the Times should add this to the piece. Better than a retraction, since it illustrates a willful hypocrisy.

When folks argue that a Universal Basic Income would deter working, think about those million-dollar CEOs. If a modest $15k is enough to make one quit working, wouldn’t multi-million dollar packages make CEOs practically comatose? Yet, here they are, still CEOing. Weird isn't it?

An aspiring dictator & convicted felon w history of treason may win the presidency. Profoundly corrupt SCOTUS justices undermined the constitution and gave him immunity from prosecution for past & future crimes. This is all political journalists should be writing about 24/7. We’re at the precipice.

This is true and Harlan Crow and Charles Koch are smart enough to know they don’t really need more justices on SCOTUS. They have what they need. What they now aim for is a full authoritarian coup. That’s why billionaires put $100M into Project 2025. We are already in the crisis.
