i think akhil amar reed captures something very important, which is that the roberts court rewrote article ii, which explicitly states that a president can be held criminally liable after impeachment (and which has long been understood to mean that he can be held liable after leaving office)

Hey. If you have ever been somewhere near David Tennant and are semi-randomly approached to see if you have any anecdotes about David Tennant, assume it's enemy action. Sorry for vagueness.

OK. Ill play. Terrible analogy and gossipy in response to serious concern about press bias for maga (regardless if actual or defensive).The felon debater spends 90 minutes screaming hundreds of documented lies; why is this not a huge failure calling for end to campaign?

just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out

"In today’s short Media Misses video, we discuss the NY Times calling on Joe Biden to drop out after his awful debate performance but failing to demand the same for TFG. Mark Jacob with Steven Beschloss." - MSM: we can't expect the GOP to act right so we'll hound Biden w/higher (double) standards.

For some years, my former colleagues on the right tried to argue that I had brain worms if I would break a friendship or even a close relationship over Trumpism. I replaced "trump" with "david duke" and asked them to reconsider. That usually ended the discussions.

I had waited several years for someone with an audience to do what @chrislhayes.bsky.social and team did last week. Today’s immunity opinion is awful, and I also have faith that Americans care about corruption and can learn to see the Corruption Court clearly

In 2016, Hillary Clinton gave a speech in Wisconsin about the importance of the Supreme Court.

She warned that 2016 was "make or break" for the court—and the country.

National media—focused on her emails and Trump's antics—barely covered the speech.

roberts’ reasoning is fundamentally (lower-case “r”) anti-republican. i know we dunk on the framers here but roberts has issued a rebuke of the revolutionary assumption that concentrated, unaccountable power is a fundamental threat to liberty.

It is hard to imagine how Mezhyhirya, a national park outside of Kyiv complete with a beach, a zoo and a retro cars museum, was once a private residence. But, after decades of being a national park, through corruption's sleight of hand, in 2002 it became President Viktor Yanukovych’s personal home.
