It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

It is simply impossible to believe on this record that this would have been the lineup (or a stay issued at all) if the district court had found a racial gerrymander in a large blue state.

The fact that partisan gerrymandering is allowed is anti-democracy.
Everyone needs to know Nashville is a Dem stronghold. Has been for decades.

Wow, Bari Weiss is going to be SO mad when she finds out about this. I know how deeply and earnestly she cares about Free Speech on Campus!
This is truly awful. I have served in the university media board for 3 years and saw how brilliant and committed the student editors of these magazines were to quality and integrity. This is such a loss for the university community at large. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

We all should start saying that Trump is an illegitimate president due to the 14th Amendment’s plain text and his pardons are null and void
dems should start saying that presidential pardons dont apply to international war crimes and in fact implicate the president, no idea if thats true but they should start saying it

Like, I started paying attention in 2015, and while trust was low, and the coverage of 2016 was subject to a lot of criticism, but there was (seemingly) some really honorable journalism being done in Trump 1 and the media "mea culpas" to counterbalance the failures of 2016. Nothing like that today.

Thats the oldest part of the cohort. If you've only paid attention the last year or 2, you've only really known the national press as collaborators with the people who want to kill you or your friends and family.

If you're 19 and started paying attention in high school, your first impressions of the national press would be the campaign to villainize CRT and manufacture a moral panic against trans people, followed by attacking the end of the war in Afghanistan, and its only gotten worse since.
I’m not sure what to make of this survey, honestly? If you’re a young person in solidarity with Gaza, or against police killings, or you’re trans or queer, would you have reason to trust the news?
A lost generation of news consumers? Survey shows how teenagers dislike the news media
You don't have to tell Cat Murphy or Lily Ogburn about the attitudes of young people toward journalists.

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."
