I feel like they're talking as if the Yankees have already forced game 5 (they haven't even won game 3 yet) and almost as if they've won that game 5 too.

Do the broadcasters realize that not everyone in the world loves the Yankees? And not everyone thinks Derek Jeter is an all-knowing baseball god?

standing is for suckers

very cool that if you are working on behalf of right-wing culture warriors, you no longer need standing to have your claim adjudicated by the supreme court

It's not just that they're going to strike down a law against conversion therapy, it's that they're going to do it on behalf of made-up claims from a straw plaintiff who can't honestly show the law affected her at all

One thing about American's widespread distrust and disapproval of the Supreme Court is that mainstream news coverage mostly doesn't dwell on stuff like standing, so people don't even begin to grasp how rigged the Court truly is www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

seeing otherwise smart people share the story that a south carolina judge’s beach house was burned to the ground because of a ruling against trump despite there being no evidence of that has been frustrating. just because the other side has abandoned facts doesn’t mean we can, too.

So depressing.

But also of course this is going to be the outcome at the Trump Court.

Reading the appeals court decision in the tariffs case, and one thing really struck me: it's funny the judges think the major questions doctrine applies to a Republican President!

I was thinking in particular about the part of the agreement about price and possibly even the part about limiting foreign students -- the first clearly raises anti-trust issues; the second possibly too.

Hope there are people who are monitoring social media to see who’s cheering about the fire and reporting them to their employers or schools to get them fired or expelled.

So everyone on the right so upset about the political violence of Charlie Kirk’s murder (even before we knew the facts) is going to speak out loudly and clearly about this too, right?

So which day this week does the Trump Supreme Court stay this order and even scold the judge for not reading their minds correctly?

Wednesday? Or Tuesday?
