Trump throwing evangelicals and anti-abortion groups under the bus because he knows it’s a losing issue is never not funny to me
Trump testing the affections of the Christian right by telling GOP to be "flexible" on abortion to finalize a health care deal.
Let's be clear: this is both a significant snub and a significant admission that their failure to pass a deal will be catastrophic for them.

This is the kind of thing that the Founders explicitly designed our constitution to prevent; a president who has seized wealth for his own benefit without any intervention from Congress, which in our system is supposed to be the holder of the power of the purse.

If I can be earnest for a moment: Circumstances aside, the fact that this administration keeps releasing images and vids of its own violent acts because it thinks they look awesome and kickass is reason enough to shun and condemn the whole pack of them as immoral and unfit to lead.

My twelve-year-old daughter's Christmas haul included a cassette Walkman and a Discman, and music to play on both.
Yes, part of it is STRANGER THINGS. But part of it is the seemingly inevitable swing towards throwback tech, coupled with the current longing to be LEFT ALONE TO LISTEN TO SHIT

I used to think that smartphones and streaming were a mistake because giving people the illusion of access to everything all of the time would break us irreparably, but this & returns to iPods, DVDs, records, etc prove that people just want to be people, not 24/7 consumers and marketing targets.

To be fair, the justices are not technically wrong that the standard here, which the district court reviewed, was that if the gerrymandering was for partisan reasons, it's legal. It's only illegal if it was for race. But that allows the justices to just out & out say "THIS IS FOR PARTISAN REASONS!"
“Yes, yes, we can see all your ‘facts’ and all the adorable little ‘evidence,’ but you failed to consider that none of that matters if we all close our eyes and pretend the Texas GOP actually had pure motives here, you stupid little rubes.”
The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”
