The “fun” thing about the kennedy center freakout is that conservatives have been carving out “creative” exceptions to anti discrimination laws so they can be bigots to ordinary people just trying to make a purchase, but if actual artists don’t want to perform for the god king they must be punished

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

Seems to me if voting didn’t matter the people who benefit most from the destruction of democracy wouldn’t be trying so hard to demolish democracy

This is why I don’t trust the "Never Trump" Bulwark guys. They’re perfectly comfortable with real people being harmed, so long as the harm comes via a process they can label “liberal democracy.”

There was a liberal court for a few years in the mid 20th century and the right wing response was to delegitimize for DECADES right up to the point they had a supermajority, at which point it became Wrong to do so. These people think you are stupid bsky.app/profile/chri...
NEW: Jan Crawford's attack on SCOTUS "corruption" narrative was its own substance-free narrative.
On Face the Nation, CBS News's chief legal correspondent went after Supreme Court critics as "dangerous." And yet, her court defense was completely lacking in specifics.

Like so many things with Trump, this is unintentionally a huge tell. Trump is a purely transactional creature so when he says “friends,” he means two things. One, people he’s done quasi- or super-illegal shit with. Or, two, himself. He’s not yelling at her because he’s concerned about other people.

“Is he dead yet?” should be the first question asked at every White House press conference.
“OK, but it’s happening soon, right?” should be the second.
And then maybe “how fucked are you all once he’s dead and can’t pardon you anymore?” if they’re still at the lectern

What is the actual plan for this? AI magically starts producing new industries that don’t exist in the next three months? The unemployed who have never done construction work start doing construction work? Nothing is pointing in this direction, except for elite spending on tennis seats and gambling.

“You are not entitled to a response from us, or anyone, ever,” is what a US Education Department spokesperson wrote to one of our reporters, @megomatz.bsky.social, after she repeatedly tried to get comment from the department and its officials. My column on the condemnation of good journalism.
Our Reporters Reached Out for Comment. They Were Accused of Stalking and Intimidation.
Our journalists reach out to people they’re writing about to ensure fairness. But in this environment, they’ve found their efforts to do so are more likely to be vilified than appreciated.

Greene's shift is newsworthy but it's shockingly dishonest for @nytimes.com to portray it as a sincere awakening. There's no evidence of that; she's not changing caucus nor voting differently. She's an abhorrent bigot cynically adjusting position because she sees Trump as a liability. That's a fact.
An entire feature-length profile about her in the New York Times, the paper of record, that not *one single time* mentions that she's a rabid antisemite.
When she does her real apology for that wake me up.
