I was trying to put my finger on what bothered me about this portrayal and I think it’s that it just takes the guy’s words at face value, like he was a nice guy and reaction to Charlie Kirk’s death just pushed him over the edge www.nytimes.com/2025/10/12/u...

She Despised Charlie Kirk. He Resolved to Make People Like Her Pay.

The regime gets more deranged every day. A rightwing conspiracy theorist assassinated a Democratic lawmaker - which the attorney general presents as an example of leftwing political violence in order to justify an authoritarian crackdown on the opposition…

We’re in incredibly dangerous territory.

Bondi: "We've been living through a horrific cycle of political violence in this country ... night after night antifa wrecks havoc on the streets of our cities. In Minnesota, a gunman murdered a state lawmaker and her husband."

The central cleavage in American politics

Nicholas Grossman @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 6h

“Who was president in 2020?” remains one of the most pertinent questions in American politics—absurd, yes, but here we are—and that extends to “who was president January 1 - 19, 2021?”

Joyce White Vance @joycewhitevance.bsky.social · 7h

That’s a nice trick, since Biden wasn’t the president on Jan 6.

As a singular American figure, the 47th president might have a singular effect on Roberts's legacy. That's why the Trump opinion looms so large. It would be a tragedy for Roberts if his long tenure as chief justice were reduced to that single ruling and opinion because the portents of doom in the Sotomayor dissent prove accurate in the extreme-and turn what
Roberts meant as the solution to a problem of constitutional governance into a license for autocracy.

notable to see how obama — at roberts’s confirmation — saw what was ahead, as did most others who were paying attention

www.harvardmagazine.com/legal/suprem...

"There is absolutely no doubt in my mind Judge Roberts is qualified to sit on
|," Obama
the highest court in the land," Obama made clear. "The problem I had is that when I examined Judge Roberts's record and history of public service, it is my personal estimation that he has far more often used his formidable skills on behalf of the strong in opposition to the weak." He concluded, "The bottom line is this: I will be voting against John Roberts's nomination. I do so with considerable reticence. I hope that I am wrong."

BASH: But that's not what he's being prosecuted for

The International Maritime Organization meets tomorrow to approve the world’s first global framework to cut shipping emissions — but the U.S. is pressing to kill its adoption.

Trump continues to battle global green shipping push

That’s putting pressure on the EU to step up and make its position clear during Monday’s meeting of the International Maritime Organization.
