I meant for Roberts.

Californians won't agree till we actually get two Republicans facing off for a statewide office. The introduction of the jungle primary in 2010 has coincided w more preferred outcomes (tho' the nonpartisan redistricting commission introduced the same year probably helped a lot more).

We don’t need to throw out IQ (most psychologists don’t) to call out this therapeutic racism for white losers.

How much power though does Warsh as chair have apart from the rest of the Fed board?

MoE between Bianco & Porter, Steyer, or Becerra. But Becerra seems to’ve benefited from Swallwell’s scandal & have momentum, & he’s probably Dems’ strongest general election candidate anyway.

And Mills was most likely a miss.

Any chance Andrews beats Graham in a blue tsunami?

We’re defending Western Civilization by kicking Plato and Shakespeare out of university classes.

Disagree. Clinton would have won if she’d been the Dem nominee in 2008; 2016 was weird w the Comey letter; & Harris ran 10 points ahead of Biden’s approval in 2024. The fundamentals don’t show blanket rejection of women.

Creating martyrs is a horrible idea.

Have to disagree. Mob justice leads to a retaliatory cycle and institutions being even weaker.

Impeachment predicate?

NYC is diverse & culturally open, even in Staten Island.

You mean outrage on those adjuncts’ behalf, not outrage against those adjunct, I assume?

“I’ve got blisters on my fingers!”

Americans will love the even higher gas prices, I’m sur!

Caveat: the “we” who imprison must be professional prosecutors & a jury of the accused’s peers. No mob justice. (The post basically says this, of course.)

Elite higher ed has many problems, but the key factor driving down trust is political. Look at the graph - backlash against costs, admissions, etc. can't explain the changes we see. We should still reform our institutions and refocus on our core mission, but blindly blaming ourselves is abuser logic

Good! Bring in a Communist, an anarchist, faculty from the Global South, and maybe a pantheist. (Harvard has conservative faculty already.)

Maybe…just maybe…the negativity is because you’re doing a genuinely bad job?🤔

History is a contest, a struggle, not an established, unchanging narrative. It's up to historians to make sure we follow more accurate, reliable reporters like Lawfare.

Counterpoint: "The Senators ordered his books to be burned...; but copies remained, hidden & afterwards published:⁠ a fact which moves us... to deride the folly of those who believe that by an act of despotism... there can be extinguished also the memory of a succeeding age" (Tacitus, Annals 4.35).

Which is why Trump needs some kind of undeniable, unspinnable, untransferable defeat to go down.

LOL. Leo is a formidably educated man.

NC is seat 48 for Dems, ahead of IA, OH, AK, even ME. Cooper’s a political rock star.

Here's some both-sides reporting I can support.
