basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

America right now is an airplane that the crew is actively trying to dismantle mid-flight while at least half the passengers are sitting bare-knuckled just hoping we somehow eke out a survivable landing. (The other half are, inexplicably, rooting for the dismantling.)

Every poll is like:
"Should we eat our own shit?"
31% yes
39% no
30% don't know
but there are still people getting paid to argue for how Democrats can finely tailor an eat-some-shit message to win over the median moderate voter, of which there are zero.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

old enough to remember Jerry in the crowd harassing Arkansas' first black student in the 1950s. Great example of how the unaccountable upward mobility of unreconstructed segregationists like Jones laid the groundwork for repealing gains made during that era now. www.statesman.com/sports/artic....
Jerry Jones put up the wrong finger and it cost him. See how much
After Dak Prescott's fourth touchdown pass extended the Cowboys' lead to 37-14 in their 37-22 victory over the New York Jets, social media videos showed Jones briefly flashing his middle finger.

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:
“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

The norms have been shredded, along with the duct tape holding the Republic together. So the actual laws must be rewritten to rein in these runaway authoritarians who think they are uniquely special philosopher kings with life tenure (bsky.app/profile/mcop...).
Certiorari "before judgment" is how #SCOTUS takes up a full appeal *before* the intermediate federal courts have heard it.
It used to be exceedingly rare. For instance, there wasn't a *single* grant of such expedited review b/w August 2004 & February 2019.
This is the *23rd* such grant since then.

#BREAKING: Over dissents from Justices Sotomayor, Kagan & Jackson, #SCOTUS grants a stay in the Slaughter case (allowing President Trump to remove the last Dem member of the FTC), *and* grants certiorari "before judgment" to decide whether to formally overrule its 1935 ruling in Humphrey's Executor.

I don't know what's in the minds of editors. But history will not look kindly on them. This isn't responsible journalism. They will say, we are neutral. But the hedging has a politics of its own: it says we will not name this, and in not naming this, we can make it disappear. It's a cloak, a cover.
