i actually think if Dems do court packing (which was a big topic in the 2020 primaries even pre-Dobbs) the public really isn’t gonna care much. the Dem base will be screaming for it, the court are basically weird villains, unpopular, everyone knows they deserve it. district courts will be thrilled.
Do they just think there'll never be enough of a backlash for court packing to happen? What is the political theory of the case?

The Trump-Epstein Emergency Isn't in the Files
Trump has distorted the political landscape so badly that it's warping the moral intuitions of people and institutions of account.

Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now.

A totally workable antitrust policy in the United States would be making it illegal to buy Warner
From October 2025: History tells us that Warner Bros. Discovery’s plan to sell itself is probably going to end in disaster.

what’s crazy is that we’re paying just $1.1K for these items alone (in a Boston suburb) so, factor in the closer you are to a city the cheaper some things get. nonetheless many people i was friends with here have been priced out because renting or owning isn’t even an option
