Mostly free speech and democratic backsliding. Also Syracuse politics and Baltimore sports.
Yes but note they examine only placement at PhD granting institutions. There are lots of high quality tenure track jobs at other institutions. The job market is still terrible, but not as bad as it sounds in this piece

No idea, but KBJ makes it sound like it’ll be no more than a couple days. At which point the administration will then have 48 hours to bring it back to SCOTUS. At which point, G-d help us

BREAKING: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issues an administrative stay in the SNAP benefits case, for the First Circuit to issue its ruling on the stay request (“with dispatch”).
Her administrative stay ends 48 hours after that ruling is issued (or upon further order).

How many consecutive Trump administration requests for emergency relief has the Court granted, and will this one break the streak?

Hadn’t read this one in a few years. This time I did it mostly on the Pete Cross audio book, which I highly recommend. I feel like I can make sense of Melville’s prose better by listening than by reading? Loved it as always, and the end is so intense

India Walton. She beat the incumbent in Dem primary, but incumbent stayed in for the general (like Cuomo this time) and beat her. Dem big money folks all supported the incumbent. Walton never took office

Justices have long been opposed to it (largely to preserve their anonymity in public life), but some of the younger ones have signaled some potential openness to it, IIRC. But would require a major policy shift by the Court
