Look, I know that it's not N7 day yet, but I assure you I am ready with only the best and most correct takes about the lame planet known as Earth.

For example, Vancouver probably deserved this.

SCOTUS is rapidly destroying "public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary" including with their numerous unexplained shadow docket orders, but the fault lies with lower court judges honestly saying that inexcusable anti-rule-of-law tactic is making their jobs harder?

For a certain kind of pundit, it's important to establish that all present evils are traceable to previous Democratic failures - preferably failures rooted in the naive pursuit of lofty progressive ambitions.

When no such failure exists, sometimes one must be simply invented from thin air.
This isn’t true. I was there.

One of the most chilling things about this story is that some did not even know it was ICE.
They thought it was “an attack on the school” i.e. a school shooter.
Think on that for a minute.
“They didn’t just walk in chasing one person, they went into multiple rooms asking and looking for teachers while children were present,” Ramirez said. “This is an agency that has gone rogue and it an agency that believes that as long as they can cover their face, they can get away with anything.”
Families "horrified" after daycare teacher pulled out of school by federal agents.
The incident happened in front of parents and children at Rayito de Sol in North Center, a parent said. They believe the employee, who cares for infants, is legally allowed to work in the United State...

Surely Johnson is the most pathetic Speaker in the history of the United States. An unctuous toady to power, crawling up to his presidential benefactor, practically begging for Trump to usurp Congress's constitutional role.
Mike Johnson on the tariffs case before SCOTUS: "I'm cheering for the president that the executive will win on this. Now, I say that as a jealous guardian of the legislative branch of government, Article 1."

lol Trump literally ran on fixing everything on day one and has spent the last few weeks telling us he ended 8 wars.
Mike Johnson: "If you run as a socialist, you run on a big list false claims. You promise everything to everyone, and you can't deliver, and if you were able to deliver it would be to the great detriment of the people you lured in to vote for you."

NPR REPORTER: “I’m in Gaza for the first time after two years of war, looking at this devastation up close… We are here accompanied by Israeli troops — more than two years after the war began, Israel is not allowing journalists into Gaza independently.”

This is how you know ending the filibuster is a good idea and would ultimately lead to positive, tangible change for the country

Seeing deranged takes using Jared Golden's retirement to blame progressives or whatever.

Ignore them and read what Golden actually wrote. He is burned out and afraid for his family.

This isn't some intraparty Dem strategy fight, it's a bleak reflection of our society getting worse.
Jared Golden: I won’t seek reelection. Here’s why.
"What I could accomplish in this increasingly unproductive Congress pales in comparison to what I could do in that time as a husband, a father and a son."

This is a particularly strong @gregsargent.bsky.social piece, but this is my fear. Attacking Trump + econ codes as being kind of left, and a lot of media and substackers have built their identities around being not left, and their recent arguments have all been that Dems are too far left. So this -

Just cuz it hasn’t been making enough of the Dem wins lists for my liking: CO also passed free school lunch for every child in the state by taxing $300k+ households 😏

Trump is on live TV saying he wants to rig elections so Democrats can’t return to power. The most corrupt, anti-American administration in our history.
Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."

Friends don't let friends call it Newsweek. Misleads people my age and older. Call it Zombie Newsweek.
Do you think a human being wrote this Newsweek headline without having read the article beneath it, and so without understanding that the Supreme Court did *not* rule on Trump's tariffs today? Or do you think some AI wrote the headline and made the mistake?
