The excellent @wnyc.org @onthemedia.bsky.social podcast has done a great job of calling it like it is while still committing actual journalism. www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...

Despite all the John Roberts claims that the courts are in good shape and accusations of partisanship are unfair, the reality is that the public intuition that the courts have become more politicized under Trump are correct.
