So far, Walter's and Franklin Hall have said they'll be open at 8 am for the US-Canada gold medal hockey game on Sunday. (And if you watch at the latter, you can stick around for the North London Derby...)

I was listening to a podcast today talking about TFG and it was like "he doesn't prioritize accuracy." This is you now.

There's three votes for anything on the supreme court. If trump said "I'm the god-king of arrakis" he'd get three votes and a lengthy opinion about the long history and tradition of english common law with regards to the spice melange

JUSTICE GORSUCH claims not to understand this statement, insisting
that I now must be applying the major-questions doctrine, and his own
version of it to boot. See ante, at 17 (concurring opinion) (β€œMy concurring
colleagues all but endorse it today”); ante, at 2, 7, 18 (similar). Given
how strong his apparent desire for converts, see ante, at 2–26, I almost
regret to inform him that I am not one. But that is the fact of the matter.
I proceed in this case just as I did in West Virginia and Nebraska: I consider a delegation provision’s language, broaden the scope to take in the
statutory setting, and apply some common sense about how Congress
normally delegates. See West Virginia v. EPA, 597 U. S. 697, 756–766
(2022) (KAGAN, J., dissenting); Biden v. Nebraska, 600 U. S. 477, 534–
542 (2023) (KAGAN, J., dissenting). Contrary to JUSTICE GORSUCH’s suggestion, see ante, at 3–7, that conventional method of interpretation will
not always favor (or always disfavor) executive officials, given the variety
of delegation schemes Congress adopts. I’ll let JUSTICE GORSUCH relitigate on his own our old debates about other statutes, unrelated to the
one before us. What matters here is only that IEEPA’s delegation refutes
the Executive’s assertion of authority to levy tariffs, without any help
from the major-questions doctrine.

Gorsuch also tries to conscript Kagan to the major questions camp in his concurrence, prompting Kagan to write this very funny footnote saying she is not, in fact, a convert to his cause. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Veterans sue over Trump’s planned 250-foot arch, citing cemetery views The Vietnam War veterans, who later worked as U.S. diplomats, say that the arch would harm the experience of visiting nearby Arlington National Cemetery.

The public needs to realize that at 250 feet high, the proposed Arc de Trump would be *more than twice as tall* as the Lincoln Memorial.

I know it was just a throwaway comment by Obama, but what if it wasn’t?
What if he said it hoping TFG would pick it up and do his usual thing?

I want to believe.

Feel like it would be cheaper to acknowledge Noem and Lewandowski are having an affair than fund their secret fuck palace in the sky

The JO JO Seawings at @youronlyfrienddc – brined in a blue cheese mix, dredged with crab seasoning, fried crispy and then covered in hot honey mixed with more crab seasoning – are the best in town right now. Lots of celery salt and decent heat, and not too salty, like many Old Bay dry rubs.

Revealed: How Substack makes money from hosting Nazi newsletters Exclusive: Site takes a cut of subscriptions to content that promotes far-right ideology, white supremacy and antisemitism

Every time a new story about this comes out I feel better about moving our newsletter off Substack. I'm happy to talk to anyone who's interested in learning about moving to Ghost (what we use) or other platforms. It was easy and we didn't lose subscribers

Moderna chief: Company won’t invest in new late-stage vaccine trials Moderna has already been facing declines in sales after a boom during the COVID-19 pandemic.

β€œModerna’s CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: β€˜You cannot make a return on investment if you don’t have access to the U.S. market.’ Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.”

In the blanket incident, Noem had to switch planes after a maintenance issue was discovered, but her blanket wasn't moved to the second plane, according to the people familiar with the incident. The Coast Guard pilot was initially fired and told to take a commercial flight home when they reached their destination. They eventually reinstated the pilot because no one else was available to fly them home.

The details of the Kristi Noem blanket incident are just fucking perfect

Neguse is so good at this stuff. Really wish he was the face of the Dems in the House instead of Jeffries.

Jeffries is probably better at the political maneuverings. But get Neguse in front of the cameras more!

They sent a city into panic, saying no flights were coming in or out for 10 days with no reason, and then changed their minds the same day and reversed the order. Absolute incompetence and buffoonery
