Honestly, nothing has reassured me about November as much as hearing how the GOP and Trump are planning to win in a walk.

OT1H, I believe 80-90% of the Democratic members of Congress that Adam Smith would talk to are also terminally "centrist" weathervanes. OTOH, "They're all just out of frame, laughing too."

Hell, even if the courts weren't packed to the gills with GOP ratfuckers in robes, the sheer lack of pace with which the process would move would be enough to throw sand in the electoral gears.

people keep telling me i'm wrong but any change to the ticket raises substantial litigation risk. i don't care if you think a pledged delegate can switch affiliations after the primary but before the convention and, more importantly, Sam Alito sure as hell doesn't care what you think.

There is an incredible contrast going on right now between people in power whose politics are based in conviction and people in power whose politics are based on trying to figure out where the wind is blowing, and it’s really exposing the danger of standing around with your finger in the air

Funny that according to NYT Biden could "focus attention on Trump's mendacity" by dropping out but NYT can't independently make it the evergreen top story when it is obviously the bigger deal. Especially if they are going to concede that Trump also has all of the flaws Biden is getting tagged with.

So the more I see of this, the more I respect it. The Cybertruck is so unrelentingly and singularly absurd that the only sane aesthetic response is to heap yet more absurdity on top. This exudes a level of "you're locked in here with me" energy that you don't often get the opportunity to witness.

It's important for you to know that a chunk of conservative dark money has recently been lobbed at academic research on "polarization," and it bears reflecting on why a framing of the US's contemporary crisis that automatically suggests there's blame on all sides would be favored by them

only two possibilities, as a matter of pure logic, are that Trump is lying or that Trump's brain is so shot he can't remember who any of these guys who he worked with 4 years at the White House are. And somehow the media's default stance is to give him the benefit of the doubt and repeat his claim

Still marveling at Gorsuch's Ohio v. EPA opinion, in which he confused nitrogen oxide (a pollutant) with nitrous oxide (laughing gas). He did this five times, never once getting it right—in an opinion overruling the EPA's own expert scientific analysis! s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24...

This is 100% correct. Roberts, for example, obviously carries a lot of Rehnquist's Watergate damage, and believes that Republican presidents are constantly subject to baseless, partisan lawfare. Along with gutting the VRA, enabling future Watergates has been a lifelong project.

The media is laundering GOP talking points again.
Look at the @washingtonpost.com hed vs what the news actually is, as described in the *last* graf of the story. The "scaled back" abortion plank is a fetal personhood plank that has explicitly been empowered by the GOP SCOTUS' Dobbs decision.

If I was *really* committed to this bit, I'd have a dozen posts saying despite the NYT's explanation that it was an error on Meta's end, several Times editors discussed how they were "getting roasted in the replies," by "really mean shitlibs," according to a source familiar with the conversations.
