I read a lot of books, Some of them are interesting enough to write about at emptywheel.net. Retired lawyer. Currently essays by Doerfler and Moyn and Regime Change by Deneen. Avatar: detail from Expulsion of Adam and Eve from Eden by Masaccio.

A lot of actual journalists are going to be looking for their next thing.a
How about getting together, finding some money (maybe check your stock portfolio) and start a streaming channel with subscriptions.
I canceled Comcast, and have some spare monthly money, just sayin'.
Why is Nicholson's character coded masculine? He's rude, unprofessional, and refuses to follow orders or accept the consequences of his actions.
Oh. Never mind.
Here's a description of Illinois Governor JB Pritzger's State of the State address, citing an earlier governor, John Altgelt.
Pritzger faced a federal invasion just as Altgelt did in the 1890s. They say the same thing: Trump/Miller = the Czar of all the Russias.

I cannot believe you paid this guy to write this MAGA-fluffing garbage.
Is The Atlantic in favor of White Supremacy and I just didn't know it when I subscribed?
In 1985, as a young reporter, I had the great fortune of covering Jesse Jacksonβs visit to poverty-stricken Belle Glade, Florida. The hope that he offered to residents that day is something I will never forget.

I seem to recall a puff piece in the NYT on Mary Jo White when she was appointed to head the SEC. That's how it works.
The rich help the rich. We aren't in the club.
@ddayen.bsky.social once again exposes the rot at the core of capitalism. The Epstein Class can do as it pleases with no accountability: rape children, rape the public, violate any law, all with impunity.
Accountability is necessary for a functioning democracy.

I canceled my subscription after the 90th Biden is old hit piece. I read The Guardian and the Boston Globe.
Bonus: no Ross Douthat.
This is centrist crap. Epstein's perversion has been known for decades by the Epstein Class. No one needs proof of criminal anything to shame and shun people involved with him.

"Trump has ... defunded public media, and overseen a Justice Department that is arresting journalists β including former CNN anchor Don Lemon at a Minnesota protest."
John Roberts says this is just fine in Trump v. US. he loves a vigorous dictator, right John?

A thread posted on Threads by Senator Cory Booker: βHere is to the decency of past presidents and the urgent need for us to have this again.β A video clip of George W Bush speaking at a lectern is included.

With an egg, quesso blanco and something else tasty.
If we think of the courts as part of a system of justice, we can easily see how broken that system is. The government defies courts. The Trump regime vilifies judges and refuses to comply.
Courts need to step up use of their power to punish lawyers who lie and officials who refuse to comply.
I'm in a group of retired guys who meet Saturdays for breakfast at Chicago restaurants. My favorite savory was a house-made mole sauce in a neighborhood attacked by ICE goons. My favorite sweet: puffed french toast at a Philipino-Cuban fusion place. Philipino-Cuban fusion!
