Too many people analyze the campaign in terms of what they WISH the public cared about, rather than what the public DOES care about. The only way to win is to connect with the public on the things it DOES care about and persuade them you're eager and able to address their concerns.

There's been far too much attention on the debate & too little on the months leading up to the debate. During those months, Trump has consistently led Biden in polls. The issue isn't whether Biden's old or what pundits write. It's why his campaign can't move public opinion in his favor.

#Metoo ruined lives: the women’s. For the summer issue of Bookforum, I wrote about Christine Blasey Ford’s memoir “One Way Back,” the aftermath of disclosure, and what it means to be a public survivor when storytelling has proven futile. www.bookforum.com/culture/disp...

The attempt to get radical leftists to engage with politics as it is lived is actually mostly a struggle to get them to not prefer a glorious suicide over a frustrated life

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

In science and engineering fields, "anti-nepotism" rules against both members of a couple working for the same firm were often used as excuses to discriminate against women.

The key distinction is egalitarian respect for people's own preferred pronouns versus titles bestowed by government to advance a political agenda by indicating that some people are superior to others.

He got his title for prosecuting nonviolent protesters whilst declining to prosecute cops who shot unarmed civilians and government operatives who tortured people. Not something I'm inclined to respect.

The most harmful thing she did wasn't her refusal to resign. It was all the years she worked hard to shut down opposition to the court's right-wing partisanship by insisting over and over that the court was completely apolitical.

Agreed. But to understand her, we should remember that she adamantly insisted that the court was not partisan, so she thought it didn't matter at all whether her successor was appointed by a Democrat or a Republican. She was upset about the Democrats who voted against confirming Roberts in 2005.

I use Zotero all the time. It does great with academic articles, but poorly with most online newspaper articles (it enters them as web sites, and often misses a lot of important information, such as the authors), so it takes a lot of manual editing for each news entry.

I think what makes this difficult to discuss with any kind of rigor is that Biden staying in is bad and Biden dropping out is also bad! There are no good options available so we’re all flailing to figure out which bad thing is gonna be like 15% better than the worse thing

My rep voted not to accept the electoral college results in 2021 and he signed onto an amicus brief to the Supreme Court supporting overturning the result from Pennsylvania, so nah, the only impeachment he'd support would be of Biden.

They would be unlawful orders, just like Trump telling Pence not to certify Biden's victory. The military could refuse them or not, but either way, the president could not be prosecuted for giving unlawful orders. And he could pardon troops for following unlawful orders.

it's important to not give into despair, and instead to look at the upside: for the next four months it is entirely legal to bribe the president to send seal team six into the supreme court building with official orders to do the funniest possible thing, as long as you pay him after the deed is done

In 1981 Ann Gorsuch said, "The EPA will defer to Chevron" and in 1984 SCOTUS said, "The courts will defer to EPA's deference to Chevron." But Dems took over EPA, and Neil G. whined, "EPA isn't deferring to Chevron the way mommy used to," so his court bros took pity and killed deference to EPA.

I like naming non-pathologized benefits trans kids get from this care. Less about decreasing depression/anxiety/suicidality; more about building friendships, healthier family relationships, more focus in school, more ambition, planning for their future. All of which is true!

A point I've started using lately is the fact so many families I speak to are leaving the only homes their kids have ever known to ensure their trans kid can maintain access to hormones or blockers. Do you really think they're doing that for anything short of essential for their child's well-being?

SCOTUS overturning Chevron is getting lots of attention, but I expect SEC v. Jarkesy will have a more destructive effect on regulation. If it takes a jury trial every time the EPA fines a polluter, every time OSHA fines an employer for an unsafe workplace, etc., regulation will be strangled.

On the same morning, the Court said: 1) We should not presume to know more than small town mayors regarding complex, technical questions like whether to arrest people for being poor. 2) I don't see why a "PhD" in "nuclear physics" should have any latitude to implement ambiguous energy rules.
