Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro withdrew from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, or RGGI (pronounced “Reggie”), a cap-and-trade program that establishes a regional limit on carbon emissions from power plants located in the Northeast.
Critics say he “got rolled.”

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro takes flack for ditching a regional carbon pact

It is really, really hard to get your head around the raw hubris of the majority. They really will be destabilizing the operating structure of the entire U.S. government. Why? Because they believe they have a better idea about how the past century should've been done.
Justice Gorsuch: Is it possible--"just maybe"--that we're setting our sights far too low and we should be blowing up many more structures of modern government?

Holy shit this back and forth between Kagan/Alito/Jackson/&the SG.
Kagan: Doesn't your logic mean a whole raft of other agencies must be invalidated?
SG: Yes, but that's not being litigated right now
Kagan: So what?
Alito: What if we just want to say "but maybe don't apply our logic elsewhere?"

An interesting profile of a liberal white woman who I wasn't aware of until she interviewed Cory Booker and grilled him on his support for Israel. The piece devotes a few paragraphs to this, and how support for Palestine is now a mainstream position among liberals, but not Democratic congresspeople.
