need to start thinking now about a full package of judicial reforms: new justices, new circuits, new district courts, ethics reforms, docket reforms, and transparency reforms.

The American press looks even worse than normal when you see literally any alternative. The panelists on The View aren’t even good interviewers, but they easily made JD Vance worse than in any other interview since the 2024 campaign. It’s such an indictment on establishment media.

the thing that frustrates me most about Schumer’s stance is that it is impossible to deny that the actions of the leaders of the state of israel are one of the leading drivers of the resurgence of antisemitism
rather than Israel serving as a haven for diaspora Jews, it serves as a risk amplifier

This is actual courage from a politician, a willingness to do what is right, seemingly without a second thought given to what the political hivemind is saying at the moment. I don’t care how much money he has, someone who displays this kind of public decency under pressure has my vote
Here is Tom Steyer personally supporting high school trans athlete AB Hernandez.
I don't think I've ever seen a candidate as brave as Tom Steyer in his explicit support for trans folks. It says a lot that it took a self funded billionaire not dependent on donors to do it.

Worth noting that this is actually a meta-question-- it's not "what policy do you think is good?" It's "what policy do you think other, imaginary people would think is good?" This encourages the "Everyone Think Like a Pundit Rather Than as a Citizen" disease that plagues political commentary.

“Everyone, especially in South Sudan, wanted to know if the US really had cut off aid. It was easier for them to believe that the aid organizations were lying to them than to think that the United States would do this.”
Trump destroyed USAID. Now people are dying.
ProPublica’s Brett Murphy and Anna Maria Barry-Jester examine how America’s foreign aid cuts are threatening the survival of the world’s most vulnerable populations.

The democrats better use the power they have because the 2030 and 2032 backlashes will very likely happen. This stupid nation will blame democrats for not fixing the issues fast enough and will likely vote for the next racist republican carnival barker.

Genuinely this is the moment where it's very clear that without explicit protections, conservatives will seek to eliminate minority success and achievement at all levels. I don't care what polls well. We either affirmatively support living in a multiracial society or we don't.

Yep. This is the best way to understand the events of the past couple weeks. They have to dispense with the artifice of principle, because the risks of Dems winning and coming to power bent on accountability are simply too great. www.offmessage.net/p/republican...

The rule appears to be that redistricting is always legal when it benefits Republicans and never legal when it benefits Democrats.

Part of what we're seeing is the long-foretold victory of Lee Atwater's covert racism strategy. Forty years later and journalists still have no ability to accurately describe a racist who doesn't use the n-word in public.
Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.
Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow
