I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

There’s some ideas that I can feel but haven’t been able to verbalize and I love it when someone else has figured it out.

Because the whole conservative argument lately seems to be - disagreeing with me makes me right and no I don’t have to have reasons.
JUSTICE AMY CONEY BARRETT:
“Being a conservative woman in a law school, particularly, takes a lot of courage and independence, and in many ways shows more feminism than just falling into some predetermined vision of what a woman should be.”

DHS confirmed it has stopped automatically storing officials' text messages.
Instead, officials are supposed to take a screenshot, send that to their work email, download it onto their work computer and run a text-recognition program on it. Every time.

AP reporter Regina Garcia Cano looked into a few of the men killed in Trump's extrajudicial strikes on Caribbean boats.
"They were laborers, a fisherman, a taxi driver. Two were low-level career criminals. One was a local crime boss who contracted out smuggling services"

Trump has accused boat crews of being narco-terrorists. The truth, AP found, is more nuanced
One was a fisherman struggling to eke out a living on $100 a month. Another was a career criminal. A third was a former military cadet.

What’s the difference between knee jerk reaction and knee jerk polling?
Not all anti-war people were knee-jerk leftists, but all knee-jerk leftists were against the war and they were right. It was a great moment for knee-jerk leftists.

There was nothing knee-jerk about seeing huge problems with the Iraq war. Cheney had said it would be a disaster, they weren’t tied to 9/11, they weren’t providing clear evidence for cause.
That’s what some of the problem is with just flash polling on which party is doing the best advertising

Yeah, I will bite that bullet.
Knee-jerk leftists got Iraq right and the basic prevailing theory of politics among Democrats today is that ever issue is like Iraq and if you just blow off public opinion you'll be vindicated within 2-3 years.

the jury nullification take is wrong. If that’s what had happened they wouldn’t have sent a note to the judge asking for definitions of relevant terms.
They just didn’t think he did the crime after considering the evidence and following the given instructions.

I am personally disgusted by this and would like to be on record that if I were presented with this set of facts, I would absolutely vote to convict per the judge's instructions.
The law is the law, and I have as little right to ignore that as a hypothetical prosecutor has reason to strike me.

straight-up jury nullification. this guy did it, confessed to it, and the jury instructions explicitly said that if he did it intentionally, it was assault.

I just don’t understand how a man with children can argue this. While I don’t disagree that I needed the time for physical recovery and baby care my husband had various time off for each of our kids and more time is vastly superior for men. For one kid he only had 3 days of sick leave, it stunk
Ross Douthat has evidently discovered Japanese salaryman work-life balance, and seems to think it will somehow lead to a revival of American masculinity rather than crashing birthrates and a spike in the suicide rate.

Sargent is trying to pull some moderate position. But seemingly can’t decide if there should be more pregnancy and care & recovery protections in the workplace or that we should just accept women can’t work bc they had babies and tha would be burdensome to the workplace. It’s the judo move of
What Sargeant is really interested in is pregnancy, and without just accepting her frame about gender yes, the prospect of pregnancy is a very real differentiating factor in the life planning that people have to work through, and I would agree that our society doesn't really handle that well.

While kids grow up and get a vote, it’s not surprising that the right wing version of enfranchising a young population isn’t to give them the vote at 16 years old but as a 16 year old have someone else vote in their name.
Good piece. The... I'm not sure if "more serious" is right, but the version of it Vance and others more openly advocate... is this crackpot idea of giving extra votes to parents, which I wrote about @theunpopulist.net. Nominally that wouldn't discriminate by sex, but it's unabashedly patriarchal.

Dems took multiple votes in 2021-2022 on the Freedom to Vote Act, which would ban partisan gerrymandering, and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, which would (re-)ban racial gerrymandering. Republicans blocked them every time.

The more I think of this the funnier it becomes. The NYT seeing a popular young mayor elected and thinking You know who will speak some sense to the people, Ross Douthat.
LOL, naturally the NYTimes, engaging in just the most open self-parody, has a big homepage video for Ross Douthat "Mamdani's victory is less significant than you think" so you have to scroll down to see anything else, because they have to be sullen and bitter about it.
