I've spent a lot of time thinking about this fascinating exchange Colbert had with Dua Lipa, when she asked him about the role his faith plays in his comedy.

To look at this and still argue the rightwing majority was seriously and justifiably concerned about universal injunctions rather than treating Democratic power completely different than the Trump regime because they are opposed to the former and very much aligned with the latter is just silly.
The Supreme Court’s “shadow docket” has cast very different shadows depending on which party holds the White House.
When lower courts blocked Trump admin policies, SCOTUS intervened on an emergency basis to lift those orders in 77% of cases.
For the Biden administration, that number was 0%.

20+ years ago, results of a 'War Game' set up for the Atlantic (reported by me) showed that US attacks on Iran would backfire more sweepingly than land wars in Iraq or even Vietnam.
The fundamentals have not changed.
DO NOT DO THIS. Or even rant about it.

The Minnesota assassin supported Donald Trump and had a kill list consisting entirely of Democrats and reproductive rights advocates. But it's unclear what his political motivations might be.

I’m Democrat David Jolly, and I’m launching my campaign today for Governor of Florida.
Our state is in crisis — not just a crisis of policy, not right versus left, but a crisis of right versus wrong.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
