If I'm understanding you correctly, a more aggressive investigation/indictment in, say, 2022 when trump had yet to reconsolidate support may have lead to a different outcome in the immunity cases? Or that it was always going to turn out this way?

I use Claude (an AI) to scan my posts for spelling and grammar errors. On the most recent post (about the East Wing, link below), I got a really amazing addendum.

Multiple accounts on ICE Watch Facebook pages are reporting that agents pulled a couple out of their vehicle in Aurora, Illinois, arrested them, and then abandoned the couple’s toddler in the backseat.

Wait, will this only be for Switch 2 or the original game, too?

noteworthy that rather than funding experiments into challenging conservative message domination on the local level or building between-election outreach capacity at the state level, centrist donors are throwing millions at what amount to online factional battles among a couple dozen people

Three to four Republicans would mean (including Grijalva if it's only three) he is admitting a majority of the House wants to return.

In other words, they could constitute a quorum without him, repeal the "district work periods" rule he's abusing, and set a fixed date to return to regular session.

It is 34 BC. A client state in the east gives royal regalia to an autocrat pushing against the imperial metropole's traditional republicanism.

It is AD 2025. A client state in the east gives royal regalia to an autocrat pushing against the imperial metropole's traditional republicanism.

Which is not a knock on him, it's an indictment of the American political class and the intelligentsia which are by far and by dozens of degrees of lower quality than literally any other comparably developed democratic or semi democratic country.

The problem, again, is elected Dems & candidates DON'T actually spend very much time at all talking about these things. Right-wing media does. And Dems ultimately have no control over what right-wing media is going to talk about.

This whole exchange has the air of an authoritarian barely tolerating a judge whose power is limited and may soon become even more limited.

Free Press Reporter Discovers That Being An Amoral Dickhead Can Cost You Friends | Defector It can be hard to maintain friendships as an adult. People move to new cities, start families, and experience all sorts of other life events that make it difficult to keep in touch. Sometimes, you end...

“"Dude, is this why you haven't been responding to my texts asking to hang out?" is perhaps the most heartbreaking message that an adult American woman with no real problems can possibly compose. This person's life is grim as hell!”

I continue to sincerely want the term “Kavanaugh Stop” to be a badge of shame for the rest of Brett Kavanaugh’s days; the only bit of writing he’s known or remembered for; his sole contribution to the Law; for him to perceive, in little stabs of self-awareness, that this will be his rancid legacy.

Yes this was great! Looking forward to the next one @andycraig.bsky.social!

Baudrillard-ass administration

This is, in fact, just about the only indication right now that the country can be saved, that government of the people, by the people, for the people might not vanish from this land

man, the whistles are *very* effective

You may not have food or healthcare for your children, but did you know that the White House will now have a classy dance floor for nepotistic pedophiles

I’m def not saying his brain isn’t leaking out of his ears every time he talks but a lot of what people on here say is evidence of cognitive decline for trump you need to realize that at least half of that is just because he’s incredibly stupid

I'm hearing that Juan Linz was right

It's no coincidence that so many men have their "conservative awakening" in their 40s and 50s when they experience a huge drop in testosterone/male menopause, suddenly renewing anxieties about their masculinity (that conservatives can help them assuage)

It cannot get lost in the shuffle, even with so much else going on, that the world's most wealthy people have had their minds absolutely rotted out, just saturated to the dripping point with black mold down to the studs and frame, by the all encompassing unhumanity of their wealth.

i think i would honestly find this whole discourse more tolerable if people simply said what they were actually saying, which is that they think the Democratic Party is too associated with femininity (and secondarily, with black people) and that they want to correct this

Some people in our nation are aligned with the Constitution & the laws of the United States.

Some people are aligned against them.

It’s a hell of a grift the Mattys Yglesias and Ezras Klein of the world have; your Davids French, your Conors Friedersdorf. So conveniently confused about the most obvious things yet so certain about the most laughable nonsense. Always interested in seeking answers, yet so allergic to finding any.

So apparently. We now have a system. Where the President is the unitary guy in charge of everything the government does. And he can give and withhold anything at his own pleasure. And he achieved this bc we voted for him.

And billionaires and special interests can fund whichever parts of the
