in which a sitting justice on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court seems to imply he’s worried about whether there’ll be a presidential race in 2028 boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...

Speculating on Republican motivations, Dougherty said at his Chestnut Hill event that he expects the court to continue playing a major role in election law: “The theory is that we have to deal with a congressional election in 2026, and there’s preparation regarding gerrymandering for the next presidential election—should there be one.”

"To be a Republican in 2025 represents a clear public confession that you either don't know the difference between good and evil and you're so morally empty that you can't be bothered to begin to try, or that you do know the difference, and you prefer evil." Great essay from @juliusgoat.bsky.social

The Crime of Human Virtue

Sometimes it really is as simple as good vs. evil. This is one of those times. Human virtue is our great crime against the fascist project; it's also our great weapon against it.

Role Model’s album is called Kansas Anymore.

He wore the Max’s Kansas City shirt in the SNL promos and then Charli wore it on stage.

Max’s Kansas City was a nightclub in New York City, not in Kansas City.

No actual shade detected.

Hope this helps.

Charli XCX was Role Model’s Sally on ‘Saturday Night Live,’ and her shirt probably wasn’t Taylor Swift shade. And if those words in that order don’t make sense to you, we’ve got you.

The GOP would rubberstamp if he asked. That he’s not asking is to prove a point. They expect no legal consequences. Ever. Not just Trump, his family, his Cabinet, his staff, his billionaires. They expect no legal consequences. For anything. Ever.

Kelly: I really worry about those aviators, drone operators, special forces guys that are in the Caribbean right now striking these boats and whether or not this is legal..

There’s no authorization for the use of military force. The Congress has not given that to the president. He hasn’t asked.
