since commander-in-chief is within the "conclusive and preclusive" authority of the president, and therefore all his actions pursuant to c-i-c powers are entitled to absolute immunity, trump would've been better off ordering the military to take congress on january 6 than riling up a mob

Yes and the choice is binary here. Does your entirely justified outrage over this horror justify empowering Donald Trump and all his cronies? Do you think Trump's relationship with Bibi will be better for Palestinians than a Democratic president? www.reuters.com/world/us/don...

One thing that's so frustrating here is that Biden is the only one who can make this decision. He has the delegates in hand. But after seeing him so incapable of campaigning on Thursday I do think he ought to acknowledge reality and drop out. This is well put here: www.newyorker.com/news/daily-c...

This is one helluva pickle and the clock is ticking. "It’s entirely possible that Biden’s exit does nothing to solve the Democratic polling woes against Trump, and that Harris’ own weaknesses are even more problematic, especially among white voters." Nevertheless...

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.

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.

Publishing this headline as if the Republican Party acted in good faith, quoting Mike Johnson as if he’s an honest official and not someone who tried to overturn the 2020 election, and printing the false idea that Biden is targeting Trump with the DOJ as if it’s a normal “claim” is explicit GOP bias

The sole value of the Claremont Institute as an intellectual project is that they will just come out and say on the record that MAGA is about the extra-constitutional use of terror to dominate American public life.

Very good roundup from @hellgateny.bsky.social on Hochul's congestion pricing debacle. A tiny number of regular commuters would even pay the toll, yet instead of doing something for the millions of New Yorkers who rely on transit and would appreciate less traffic and cleaner air, well... you know.

I thought there was something "off" about the first message to readers from the new writer of the New York Times politics newsletter. (A key position.) It was a kind frivolity in the prose. Seemed weird, given the stakes in this election. Dan Froomkinl had a similar reaction. Read his post.

This is a very important read. @pewresearch.org just released a study where they make clear the results of the "young people believe the Holocaust is a myth" poll were misleading and cannot be reproduced.
In fact, only 3% of Americans, no matter their age group, believe "the Holocaust is a myth."
