I think it’s that OConnor concurrence in the affirmative action case that said “I’ll defer to the military but I HOPE in 25 years it won’t be needed.” And it’s like 22 years right now. But still stupid and facile!

Justice Kavanaugh in the Callais oral argument keeps alluding to some longstanding requirement of strict scrutiny that use of race have a time limit. This is invented.

Haaahahaha. Kagan says "in Milligan, we rejected a number of arguments. It seems to me that you just made every one of them." Then she started to list them.

We’re at the point in #Bronwyn’s journey on the #RealHousewives that she’s doing 80s sitcom sidekick reaction big eyes to #Lisa wanting to be a farmer. So she knows being gif-able is clout. It makes sense and savvy, but it means she’s going to be more calculated. #RHOSLC #RHSLC

Months before catastrophic floods swept through an Alaska Native village on Sunday, the Trump administration canceled a $20 million grant meant to protect the community from extreme flooding. At the time, the EPA administrator said he was eliminating "wasteful DEI and Environmental Justice grants."

The remote village of Kipnuk planned to use the money to protect against flooding. On Sunday, it was inundated.
