This is similar to a policy in the Montana University System, which does not allow the naming of buildings after elected officials currently serving. The system chose to ignore said policy when naming a building after the sitting Governor donated $50 million, creating a massive conflict of interest.

There's a good reason for this law: It could be construed as a partisan favoritism or a possible campaign donation for someone who could still run for an office (JQ Adams, for example, later served in Congress). (1/2)

So much stupidity. Perhaps we should aid the whaling industry that has been under sustained assault from the oil industry.

About this Florida vaccine story:

When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough.

We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated.

“Oh, they’d have died.”

It’s time to dump some coffee in Boston Harbor ya’ll.

So much ignorance and self inflicted harm.

But that's not all! During Trump's presidency, he took credit for a vaccine to end the pandemic, and Democrats...urged everyone to take it!

...which so upset "conservatives" that they not only turned against that vaccine, but against vaccines in general.

One of these is not like the others and it represents a dangerous new expansion in Trump's tariff adventures, meddling in internal criminal matters in other countries.

In my latest at @misofact.bsky.social I draw on political science findings to explain why Trump’s populist government passed a deeply unpopular and regressive set of policies. open.substack.com/pub/misofact...

The "unitary executive theory" is a fancy name for a strategy used by authoritarians worldwide, rebranded for the US. It’s a legal blueprint for a power grab, and my new article explains how it turns the law itself into a tool for undermining democracy:

But egg prices….

Be prepared to be called partisan.

This is a nightmare. Who the hell taught these jokers Intro to American Politics? Congress is supposed to be the powerful branch—not the Executive.

I do have a 3.5 drive that could read these…someplace….

@leahlitman.bsky.social Reading Lawless now. It is totally inaccurate to call Ginsburg a moderate Justice. She anchored the left wing on the Court.

*Biden tries to forgive student loans*
SCOTUS: Whoa there, that is, uh, a major question. Which means you can't do it.

*Trump revokes part of the constitution*
SCOTUS: Obviously, we got to give the President the benefit of the doubt on this one.

I think it is time for the lower courts to ignore the Supreme Court.

SCOTUS just stripped judges' power to stop unconstitutional orders nationwide in a move KBJ calls "an existential threat to the rule of law"

The Court has chosen a side, and it isn't the rule of law. Lower courts can't protect the Constitution because the Supreme Court won't let them.

Well, Zoey got elected in the bluest house district in the state, so I’d take the “I got elected with 80% in a red state” a little less seriously.

Was following this as I heard about it on Westminster Hour. I know that it was a free vote—I wonder how it will fare in Lords.
