the birthright clause was not just written to wipe dred scott off of the books, it was written to repudiate the *idea* behind dred scott, you might say the larger *ideological project* of dred scott. and the whole of section 1 of the 14th amendment is a constitutional statement of political equality

college football is a joke and congress needs to step in
The decision to fire Stoops is a costly one. His contract calls for a $36 million buyout, all of which is due within 60 days, a result of extensions from Stoops’ winning years.

I want to thank my colleague, fellow Mainer, and friend, Congressman Golden, for his years of service to Maine’s 2nd District. I’ve always had the utmost respect for Jared’s commitment, his work ethic, and his dedication to the people of Maine.

Farewell sweet Prince
Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

one thing that other candidates need to learn from mamdani is how to deliver the most cold blooded attacks on an opponent with a smile on your face

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist
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.

You might not be able to watch Monday Night Football tonight.

Why? When companies get too big, they have the power to cut off your favorite channels.

That's what's happening here.

And what's Trump done about it? He's let them get away with it.

A traveler from an antique land--great guy--said to me with tears in his eyes "Sir, two vast and trunkless legs of stone stand in the desert." And I said wow, that's really something. But we'll be building a big beautiful statue to my hubris and it will stand for eternity

I am deeply immersed in cultural taboos against speaking ill of the recently dead, in with that in mind, I will note that James Dobson showed unwavering devotion and perseverance, more specifically in fighting against AIDS relief and social acceptance of gay human beings.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
