Moderation is overrated In 2024, moderate candidates for the U.S. House barely outperformed the average partisan

I put a lot of work into this. I would be so happy if you would read and share:

reupping this piece, since the seat that Emil Bove just filled could have been filled by Adeel Mangi last year

I have hoped that she would be primaried. It's fine if the challenge fails for now but she really does need a challenge.

RT for visibility:

Bill Clinton’s just chilling in his living room, watching ICE kidnappings on tv, when the sex pest election trouble alarm goes off in his kitchen. “Not cuomo,” he says to himself. “Not another member of the brotherhood”

What you mean he's not rubbing a lamp and creating policy with a genie?????

Yeah, the second I see Ezra Klein’s name attached to anything it’s an instant confirmation it’s absolute ass.

Because you’re right. It’s neo lib washing the vocabulary for deregulation without actually addressing root causes. Same shit, different day.

Despelote review: miraculous slice-of-life soccer game pulls a hat trick Despelote is an autobiographical and sumptuously rendered slice-of-life game that shoots for gold and handily gets there.

I reviewed Despelote, which is at once the smallest game and also the biggest thing in the world. It's a towering achievement and something that will live with me for the rest of my days. My rave for Digital Trends: www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/despe...

reposting this here as a reminder to self to do these things

Enjoy! Just brewed some over here, myself

whats is it about georgetown having an insane number of dipshit fascists among its ranks

Hank where did the M get the LL it’s based off of? It’s nothing but a regurgitation of stolen content.

They suck and aren’t useful.

Department sought. Sotomayor laid out the stakes, tying it to her dissent on Monday in the 5-4 Supreme Court order over how challenges to Trump's Alien Enemies Act proclamation can proceed: The Government now requests an order from this Court permitting it to leave Abrego Garcia, a husband and father without a criminal record, in a Salvadoran prison for no reason recognized by the law. The only argument the Government offers in support of its request, that United States courts cannot grant relief once a deportee crosses the border, is plainly wrong. See Rumsfeld v. Padilla, 542 U. S. 426, 447, n. 16 (2004); cf. Boumediene v. Bush, 553 U. S. 723, 732 (2008). The Government's argument, moreover, implies that it could deport and incarcerate any person, including U. S. citizens, without legal consequence, so long as it does so before a court can intervene. See Trump V. J. G. G., 604 U.S. — - (2025) (SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting) (slip op., at 8). That view refutes itself. For now, at least, it did.

And, from her statement in Thursday’s order: www.lawdork.com/p/breaking-s...

In a disturbing paragraph, joined by Kagan and Jackson, Sotomayor wrote: What if the Government later determines that it sent one of these detainees to CECOT in error? Or a court eventually decides that the President lacked authority under the Alien Enemies Act to declare that Tren de Aragua is perpetrating or attempting an "invasion" against the territory of the United States? The Government takes the position that, even when it makes a mistake, it cannot retrieve individuals from the Salvadoran prisons to which it has sent them. See Defendant's Memorandum of Law in Opposition in Abrego Garcia v. Noem, No. 25-cv-951 (D Md., Mar. 31, 2025), ECF Doc. 11, at 7-9. The implication of the Government's position is that not only noncitizens but also United States citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before re-moval. History is no stranger to such lawless regimes, but this Nation's system of laws is designed to prevent, not en-able, their rise.

This was from the dissent in Alien Enemies Act opinion: www.lawdork.com/p/scotus-5-4...

As I’ve said, yes, this was their aim all along. That’s why they didn’t just send these people to Gitmo. This is an attempt to find a step beyond Gitmo where the court says, “Well, our hands are tied.” It’s an awful, lawless gambit that must fail, but that is what they want it to be.

I still think this is a mistake if it ends Liam's future opportunities at Red Bull like it did for Gasly but if I can offer Christian some familiar advice...

Elon Musk’s Starlink Expands Across White House Complex Trump administration officials said the company donated the internet service, saying the gift had been vetted by the lawyer overseeing ethics issues in the White House Counsel’s Office.

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

Chuck Schumer Should Resign to Spend More Time With His Imaginary Friends The bad news is that the Democratic Senate leader isn’t up for reelection until 2028. The good news is that he can resign right now, and should do so—twice.

The bad news is that Chuck Schumer is not up for re-election until 2028. The good news is that he can resign right now—in fact, he should do that twice.

🚨Do pro-immigration reforms trigger backlash?🚨

In our new paper, we examine how Americans reacted to high-profile immigration reforms using an unexpected-event design and all possible daily surveys. In short: no backlash to DACA—but potential backlash to Trump’s Muslim Ban.

I think the Democratic Party should be led by people who think the Republican Party is bad. Try it for a bit and see what happens, you know? Just to mix things up a little.
