my measured conclusion upon review of the Supreme Court's order reimposing Texas's racially gerrymander is that the only thing the Republican justices hate more than district court judges is people of color voting

The Supreme Court Wants Republicans to Keep the House In 2026

It's bad enough that the part of Medicare that gives you access to regular health care (as opposed to hospitalization) costs money. It's even worse that you need a supplemental plan to cover additional costs.
But the absolute worst is shopping for that supplemental plan!

Federal Judge Has No Interest In Taking Brett Kavanaugh’s Racial Profiling Opinion Seriously
