Look at all the “competitive authoritarianism” and “authoritarian playbook” cases around the world. Nearly everywhere, the “feckless opposition party that fails to meet the moment” is a major character in the story.

The stadium for the Kansas City Current -- whose construction 40 banks refused to finance because there had never been a professional stadium built for a women's team -- just finished its second consecutive season of sold-out games.

No One Wanted to Finance Their Stadium. Now Every Game Is a Sellout.
Building a professional women’s soccer venue was seen as brash. Now the Kansas City Current’s is a blueprint for others.

The sheriff's office has been using millions of taxpayer dollars for things unrelated to the case like car washes and office renovations, then using those expenses to claim it's "too expensive" to enact court-ordered reforms.
It's not the reforms that are expensive — it's the police's misconduct.

Late last night, a federal appeals court blocked President Trump from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport immigrants.
This is a huge win for the rule of law. Once again, a court ruled that Trump can't invoke a false emergency to grab power.

So heartbreaking. Just unfathomable that the Texas government has neglected basic safety and well-being measures for so long.
Especially given that the state has spent $11 billion on Operation Lone Star - it's found the money when it's wanted to, just not for disaster prevention...
