Kate goes deeper on the new definition of “eve” the Court promulgated to help Republicans hold the House next year. (I don’t think it’ll be enough, but that’s another matter.) They take a principle that has some logic in extreme cases: there needs to be some balance between the merits of a case and potential disruption to an election. But given that we have House elections every two years, one year out cannot be the “eve” of an election. In any case, it’s more evidence of what we already know: we’re dealing with a corrupt Court at war with the Constitution. They do what they need to do to get the result they want. Read Kate.

Amanda Redman is so much fun in Murder Before Evensong, and she's great in The Good Karma Hospital. And if you need more, she's a total kick as Mrs. Merdle in Little Dorrit.

excellent piece by Michael Podhorzer open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
Yes, it is good that people are finally mobilizing against Trump’s open promise of dictatorship. But the unsettling truth is that while so many have rallied to stop a would-be king, almost no one has, or is, to stop the kingmaker.6 Trump continuously says the quiet part out loud; just as Roberts did, with a smirk, in 2009: “If the public doesn’t like what we’re doing, it’s more or less just too bad.”

If Democrats ever win a trifecta again, they’ll have to pass significant, by today’s standards, radical reform to ensure that no one else can rise in Trump’s image and so weaponize the federal government. That would include neutering the Supreme Court, making Washington D.C. a state, devising a new way to protect civil servants from at-will firing. It’ll be the kind of reforms that make the right-wing and mainstream media howl about extremist overreach, the kind that today’s brand of mainstream Democrat absolutely couldn’t stomach. Abolishing the filibuster is the least of these, and a candidate who can’t even commit to getting rid of a fairly new, made-up obstacle to majority rule that overwhelmingly benefits Republicans is unfit for the job ahead. — Kate Riga

Republicans absolutely delight in causing pain. It's their love language.

“I don’t think my Democratic friends have thought through how to get this thing back open and I don’t think they have thought through what I believe the OMB director is going to do while government is shut down,” Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) told reporters in the Senate basement. “I think they’re going to make it very painful.”

Yeah, well Amazon cancelled The Wheel of Time, so we all have our little problems.
“In college, I worked at @CrackerBarrel in Tallahassee. I even gave my life to Christ in their parking lot,” Donalds wrote. “Their logo was iconic and their unique restaurants were a fixture of American culture. No one asked for this woke rebrand. It’s time to Make Cracker Barrel Great Again.”
