Pack the Court. If we are serious about the defense of these rights, we pack the Court. Simple as that. They pack it back, we pack it again. We do it until we reach consensus on long-term reforms to the judiciary. I don't know what it's going to take for people to get it.

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until *now* to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

Banksy. Bingo.

Thanks Ken Pisani.

America lived fast and is now dying young Threats to U.S. passport holders. Compromised news outlets. Constant cuts and layoffs. Drew Magary writes on his life under President Donald Trump.

I must have missed this worthwhile read from @drewmagary.bsky.social in SFGate when it first came out earlier in April. Highly recommended:

Whistleblower Who Exposed DOGE Raid of NLRB Data Finds Threats Taped to His Door The worker said he received a note with photos of him that seemed to be taken by drone after he spoke out against DOGE.

A whistleblower from the National Labor Relations Board found a threatening note taped to his door, including pictures of him walking his dog that looked like they were taken by a drone, after he spoke out internally against a DOGE data raid that included highly sensitive information about workers.

I have a trade deficit with the Chinese restaurant near my office. I buy their food but they do not buy anything From me. I've decided therefore to voluntarily pay them higher prices because it will encourage me to cook my own Chinese food. Professor Jonathan Pinto

This is how tariffs work. ..and now I want Crab Rangoon.

Eden Prairie firm was set to pay $18K in tariffs on its shipment from China. Now it’s $170K. My Cable Mart and other companies across the country are scrambling to figure out strategies for both now and the rest of the year.

China Just Turned Off U.S. Supplies Of Minerals Critical For Defense & Cleantech - CleanTechnica In response to new Trump tariffs, China cut dysprosium, terbium, and tungsten exports—hitting U.S. EVs, wind, and military systems hard.

But the Tariff's are working right?

Here he is today, deeply concerned about economic hardship caused by his tariff scheme.

At least now I understand how he bankrupted a casino

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969.

One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

Her husband’s life was put at risk by the Signal texts.

Well that’s a headline I did not except to see. Ever.

My kids have measles, my wife’s been locked up by ICE, and my business has gone bankrupt because of tariffs. But at least I know that Trump got rid of DEI.

Chuck Schumer is the same as Rubio and Cruz. Trump abuses you and you just take it. Coward. Fight or leave office.

Stop trying to negotiate with lunatics. If the government shutdown is the cost, so be it. The Republicans and Trump will be blamed. Make them govern. They can't. All they can do is issue executive orders and engage in illegal activity. Do Not Bend.

You need to be more than a No. You need to oust Schumer and get every other dem on board. This is an existential crisis that needs all hands on deck and Schumer is not a leader.

You need to be more than a no. You need to push other Dems to realize this is an existential crisis. Schumer must go.

Tweet from the world's dumbest fascist reading: there is a shortage of top notch air traffic controllers. If you have retired, but are open to returning to work, please consider doing so.

Air traffic controllers are required by law to retire at 56. It is a high-stress, high-intensity job that requires intense focus. The retirement rules are there to keep us all safe. This fucking guy has no clue what's he's doing.

Congrats!

This, on the other hand, is something to be angry about.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

RFK Jr looks and acts exactly like the guy in a zombie film who's desperately trying to hide the fact that he was infected from the other survivors.

Oh, how times have changed. In 1962, the Fifth Circuit found that James Meredith had the right to enroll at the University of Mississippi. Can you imagine the Fifth Circuit holding that today?
