It's the end result of a problem that demographics won't let them ignore and ideology won't let them solve.

For the Right, Fentanyl Isn't a Problem. It's a Cudgel.

President Trump's rhetoric and personnel decisions echo a conservative tendency to use the opioid crisis for its own ends rather than treating it like an issue of its own..

By a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court refuses to stay Charles Ray Crawford’s execution, despite overwhelming evidence that his lawyers violated the Sixth Amendment by telling the jury he committed the murder.

In dissent, Sotomayor says the court “abandons its duty.”
www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

The application for stay of execution of sentence of death
presented to JUSTICE ALITO and by him referred to the
Court is denied. The petition for a writ of certiorari is de-
nied.
JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, with whom JUSTICE KAGAN and
JUSTICE JACKSON join, dissenting from the denial of appli-
cation for stay and denial of certiorari.
Charles Ray Crawford will be executed tonight for a
crime that his own lawyers told the jury he committed, de-
spite his express instructions not to do so. Had this case
come to this Court on direct appeal, Crawford could have
proved that his Sixth Amendment rights were violated un-
der our decision in McCoy v. Louisiana, 584 U. S. 414
(2018), in which we held that lawyers may not override a
defendant’s explicit and unequivocal decision not to concede
guilt at trial. He would also likely be entitled to a new trial,
as a McCoy violation is a structural error that mandates
reversal.
Because Crawford’s convictions became final before
McCoy was decided, however, this case raises a threshold
issue that this Court has not squarely resolved: Whether
McCoy applies to cases on collateral review because it
merely applied existing law, or whether McCoy announced
a nonretroactive “new” rule of constitutional law. This
question has divided lower courts. It is also undoubtedly
important, and is even more so in this case because its

As a fan of the Kings it's pretty underwhelming. As a fan of Immaculate Grid, it's a different story.

Anthony Boyd was sent to death row for murder with no physical evidence but rather on the word of a codefendant who testified against him to avoid execution. Boyd’s court-appointed lawyer admitted he was unprepared at trial

No physical evidence connected Anthony Boyd to a 1993 murder. He was sent to death row on the word of a co-defendant who testified under the threat of capital punishment.

Haydon is reading The Uncertain Center, Arthur C McGill @haydonmp.bsky.social · 4d

A 6 second snapshot from a 12 lead ecg is meaningless. The issue isn’t his cardiac health anyway. It’s his vascular and neurological health.

Release his brain / neck MRI results, show me that infarcted internal capsule, pons, or corona radiata.

Show me those narrowed small vessels.

lot to unpack here

Paula White-Cain took a somewhat different position when defending the Trump administration’s border separation policy and detention of immigrants. According to her, it’s true that Jesus was a refugee because he lived in Egypt for three and a half years. “But it was not illegal,” she insists. “If he had broken the law, then he would have been sinful and he would not have been our Messiah.
