In terms of US politics, Bush v. Gore is the defining event of the century. It set the template: a ruthless right that instinctively seeks power & doesn't give a shit about rule of law...and a bunch of hapless, feckless octogenarian Dems worried about the good opinion of centrist opinion columnists.
The 25th anniversary of Bush v Gore is today. The conspiracy mongering & corruption of the GOP has been brewing for a long time.
Roberts, Barrett and Kavanaugh were all on Bush's legal team, where they pushed unfounded legal theories. SC justices were already enmeshed in voter fraud myths.

The repeatedly threatened firing of Jerome Powell never came, and most of the media moved on. They shouldn’t have. The threats to Fed independence have continued, and got darker this week: lnk.thebulwark.com/4iTaf6l
The Sleeper Issue That Could Destroy the Economy
Trump may have stopped threatening Jerome Powell—but he’s still got designs to control the Fed.

Bennie Thompson on Noem: "Her arrival was short lived. She left in the middle of the hearing ostensibly to go to another meeting. We found that the meeting had been canceled, so she could've stayed. But nonetheless, we're not surprised, because this is who she is."

Yes, that's right, the <4th> largest funder of UW - Madison is now dictating new teaching load requirements, w/o any input from the 3 largest (the federal government, tuition payers, private donors). A huge unfunded mandate. Something something run the government like a business something something.
