My precious friend passed away suddenly last night. She was part dragon, stubborn ox, mountain goat, and most importantly, Maltese. Artemisia, you touched not only the hearts of Brittany and I, but made the world better for so many people.

AND... If Alito retires, that's the END of any & all Dem restence to MAJOR court reform.
13-seat court expansion is the MINIMUM.
Stripping SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction & giving it to a new court selected by lot from the federal judiciary is FAR better & should be the goal.

This is awful. More outlets are doing things like this—not limiting reporters’ recordings to their intended purpose. I was contacted by one publication, years after an interview, telling me—not asking—that that recording was going to be used in a new, unrelated podcast the publication was doing.
Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of.
What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

There are a lot of Trump officials who need to be impeached, but Russell Vought -- the quarterback of all the Project 2025 fuckery and a central player in the administration's overreach -- really needs to be at the top of the list.
Unless Congress reclaims its power, this will just become the new normal. A good first step would be to impeach Vought.
