Yes, but did he use the number 86? I’m told that’s important.

My autistic kid is awesome. Also, he just came home from work, filed his tax return this week, creates amazing visual art, and is not working to destroy healthcare, science, and people’s lives in this country.

Needs attention.

I lament that the Court appears to have embarked on a new era of procedural variability, and that it has done so in such a casual, inequitable, and, in my view, inappropriate manner. See Department of Education v. California, 604 U. S. ___ , ___ (2025) (JACKSON, J., dissenting) (slip op., at 1–2). At least when the Court went off base in the past, it left a record so posterity could see how it went wrong. See, e.g., Korematsu v. United States, 323 U. S. 214 (1944). With more and more of our most significant rulings taking place in the shadows of our emergency docket, today’s Court leaves less and less of a trace. But make no mistake: We are just as wrong now as we have been in the past, with similarly devastating consequences. It just seems we are now less willing to face it.

An extraordinary separate dissent from Justice Jackson accuses the majority of trying to pass off its dirty work under the cover of the shadow docket and explicitly invokes Korematsu, the Japanese internment case. Wow. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

With the excuse of the specter of “socialism,” the current GOP promotes these -isms:

Protectionism
Isolationism
Nativism
Apocalypticism
Accelerationism

and, of course:

Racism.

The “party of Reagan.” #WhiskiLeaks

Broken clock alert. I actually agree with the loony in charge’s words for once.

“If Justice Roberts and the United States Supreme Court do not fix this toxic and unprecedented situation IMMEDIATELY, our Country is in very serious trouble!”

Under the willows.

Bush X!

May the odds be in your favor.

More and more, I'm having a hard time hearing "Waste, Fraud, and Abuse" as anything but their nicknames.

When the UK government proposed shipping migrants to Rwanda, the UK people shipped the government out of office.

Unfortunately, all of the glasses will be short-sighted and without color.
