My wife sent me this from her Apple Replay. What odd taste in music.

the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

Bove is a f****** moron. The issue in the case is not whether writing the date is something that is difficult to do, but whether throwing out a vote when somebody *accidentally* forgets to write the date is an appropriate remedy.

Fox News reporter to Mike Johnson: "How can you say 'they take no pleasure in this,' and then the next minute say, 'Oh, they're just having fun and trolling?'"

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

These deaths are a real feather in the cap of Brian Kilmeade and Fox News.
FOX news host suggests we euthanize the homeless, someone goes into two encampments and starts shooting.

13 people shot and Jacob Frey and the media are just talking about it as the new best reason to clear the encampments
'We're shutting this thing down': 8 shot at Minneapolis homeless encampment hosted by landlord, Frey pledges action
That shooting came less than 12 hours after another shooting just two miles away that left five others injured.

It’s been a decade of Trump telling us who he is, and this is a consequence of the country playing dumb.

Two key things to point out re: Trump sending National Guard troops to Memphis:

1) Unlike in blue states, there’s just no need for this; even if circumstances warranted, Governor Lee, who still commands the TN National Guard, could’ve just sent them in himself; and

2) Chicago (and Illinois) won.

/3 Trumpists and most of the new Right are shitty people with shitty values from a shitty culture. Responding to their violence with violence may not solve a damn thing. There are good arguments against it. But don’t let them pose for a millisecond as anything but the gleeful thug trash they are.

/2 More to the point there is also a very long list of groups and individuals that Trump, Trumpists, and most of the Right think ought to be killed extra-judicially, and whose death they will openly celebrate. They think it’s disqualifying to be an American to care about those deaths.

Bullshit. Trump and Trumpists and a disturbingly large slice of the modern Right are absolutely fine dehumanizing in far worse rhetoric an alarmingly long list of groups and individuals ideals. It’s their favorite thing to do. It gets them off.

An excellent thread.
This formulation is popular: contrasting SCOTUS' intolerance of race as an admissions factor with SCOTUS' tolerance of race as a detention factor. There are, in fact, doctrinal, historical, and logical distinctions between the positions, that one could use to dismiss this comparison.

But...

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

We all understand the reason for this informant stuff is that it’s long been a Qanon theory, right?
Massie: "I don't know if the Speaker misspoke when he said Donald Trump was an informant ... the Speaker needs to clarify that. And if it's a hoax, why was Donald Trump an informant to a hoax?"
