An important understanding about the relationship of Congress to the Supremes. Very mich worth the time to read.
Americans did not declare independence from a king only to submit to the supremacy of a different court.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

Trump is a failing authoritarian whose approval ratings are tanking. Like any bully, when he feels humiliated, he lashes out.
But what he doesn’t realize is that his authoritarianism and his bullying are waking up America’s great sleeping giant.

New data from the AFL-CIO finds the average CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 2025 was a gobsmacking 312-to-1.
And that's without factoring in Elon Musk's record-breaking $158B pay package.
CEO pay wasn't always wildly out of control. Here's how we can rein it back in.

In 1993, Oklahoma City was suffering from economic stagnation. That’s when I started working in OKC. There was one downtown hotel. I often was the only person in it.
Now it is a city transformed, and the lessons we learned are baked in Strategic Doing.

We cannot solve complex challenges in the way we solve technical problems. We need a different approach and a new pedagogy. IDE Business School in Ecuador is our sandbox for developing new cases.

Senate candidate Annie Andrews says she decided to jump into the race the day RFK Jr was nominated to lead HHS.
She’s a pediatrician. Saw what was coming & decided she couldn’t sit on the sidelines.
THIS is what I’m talking about. Feeling called to serve & actually following through.

It is very hard not to have contempt for John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, who have sold their souls to find some fig leaf to support the worst nominee for Attorney General ever. The signed agreement is worthless without the signatures of the parties, namely Trump. The IRS break stands. Moral cowards.

stuff like this is why one important avenue for court reform is just nixing the shadow docket altogether and forcing these people to explain themselves to the public when they issue orders. also, making their records property of the united states and subject to publication when they leave the bench.
Amy Coney Barrett just told Congress that it would be inappropriate to explain the reasoning behind the Court’s unreasoned shadow docket orders. As if unreasoned judicial orders are a thing. They are not. The reasoning is the whole point.
