We didn’t smash any tables. We didn’t eat a garbage plate. But you better believe the Bills got that W today.

Thanks to Gov. Kathy Hochul for bringing the #BillsMafia energy to Astoria today—and to Murphy’s Bar for having us.

Phil Berger and Destin Hall think it’s better to give tax cuts to David Tepper and Jim Goodnight than it is to keep people with low incomes alive

My favorite quote of his was about the potential merger of Chapel Hill and Carrboro. He said he wouldn’t mind “as long as they call it Carrboro”

The professor has been fired and senior administrators removed from their post. No mention of this in the New York Times, The Free Press, The Atlantic or other outlets who drove the campus speech moral panic.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

The injunction is silent as to the use
of force. And it is not necessary for the injunction to address
that use-of-force question because the Fourth Amendment’s
reasonableness standard continues to govern the officers’
use of force and to prohibit excessive force.
To the extent that excessive force has been used, the
Fourth Amendment prohibits such action, and remedies
should be available in federal court. I agree with the
dissent on that point. But to reiterate, this injunction
against brief stops for questioning does not address the useof-force issue.

It's not the most important part of the issue but Kavanaugh saying "well they should just sue if they're the victims of excessive force from ICE" when he himself has previously voted to bar lawsuits against federal officers for violations of the 4th Amendment in immigration cases takes chutzpah.

no surprised that brett ”almost certainly flunked his remedial classes” kavanaugh thinks the constitution authorizes a race-based federal “papers please” regime. quick, someone ask him what he thinks of the fugitive slave act.

Bluesky is a sports app because we are all gathered here together to bathe in the cozy schadenfreude of Bill coming unglued before the first half of his college debut is even over

Got a flyer for a neighborhood group that is mad that they’re trying to densify student rental property near the local university and I’m tempted to go to the meeting and ask folks why they chose to live near a college (founded in 1885) if they hate college kids so much

really important to emphasize that roberts' view of the executive branch as comprising a single individual is literally contradicted by the text of the constitution itself

The Democratic Party’s capitulation to the Crypto lobby is one of the most nakedly corrupt things I’ve seen in my life.

Crypto is a blatant scam with zero value that is designed to end popular control of our currency. Dems just co-signed the next global financial crisis. It’s unforgivable.

Mike Johnson advocating for kidnapping children. Any Dem worth a shit will make it clear that anyone can buy a gaiter and a fake ICE vest. And he's saying go willingly with them.

There is no reason a federal employee shouldn't have to show their face. And this should be an easy one to win.
