I’m very excited about this new wall art I purchased for my home office. Sadly though, I don’t think it will uncurse the Mets.

I’m a Mets fan

He probably wants to get back in the game before the season is lost in his absence

With the daily news cycle being so atrocious, I like baseball because it gives me something to root for and distract me. But thanks to my dad I ended up a Mets fan, so that isn’t happening…

This is the district I grew up in. It’s changed pretty dramatically since Sherrill flipped it red to blue in 2018, both because of how Trump galvanized the suburbs, and redistricting to make it safe blue after 2020

Is directing the DOJ to pay you an official act?

As a Mets fan, I’ll take that tradeoff. But still, yikes

I wonder if Mills drops out if a strong independent candidate would get in as an alternative to Planter. Since Maine has RCV for federal general elections that candidate wouldn’t play spoiler, either.

Don't get me wrong: I'm relieved that this case is shaping up as either 8-1 or 7-2 against the Trump executive order. But the case is a gift to the Supreme Court. By rejecting an outlandish position, it will earn credibility as apolitical, even as the Overton window moves far to the right.

CHIEF JUSTICE TODD OPINION No. 3 WAP 2024 Appeal from the Order of the Superior Court entered June 13, 2023, at No. 1008 WDA 2021, Affirming the Order of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County entered December 19, 2016, at No. CP-02-CR-0016878-2014. : : : : : : : : : : : ARGUED: October 8, 2024 DECIDED: MARCH 26, 2026 In this appeal by allowance, we granted allocatur to consider whether a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for a felony murder conviction violates the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution or Article I, Section 13 of the Pennsylvania Constitution.1 For the reasons that follow, we determine that a mandatory life without parole sentence for all felony murder convictions, absent an assessment of culpability, is inconsistent with the protections bestowed upon our citizens

under the “cruel punishments” clause of our Commonwealth’s organic charter.2 Thus, we reverse the order of the Superior Court, vacate Appellant’s judgment of sentence, and remand for resentencing. However, as we have done under similar circumstances, we stay our order for 120 days to provide a reasonable amount of time for the General Assembly to consider remedial measures.

BREAKING: The PA Supreme Court holds that mandatory life without parole sentences for all "felony murder" convictions -- a sentence more than 1,000 people in PA are serving -- violates the state constitution's "cruel" punishment ban. This is GROUNDBREAKING: www.pacourts.us/assets/opini...

Thank god for Jackson saying, why are we talking about Bruen and the civil war in this case at all?? This is a simple statutory interpretation case?! Exactly right.

Reporting for duty

Deeply disappointed in people deciding that they can turn the other cheek and ignore Nazism

Ah

Nominating this guy would be an unmitigated disaster.

Janet Mills should drop out and clear the way for someone else to take him on. If she had the juice she wouldn’t be trailing by a wide margin.

Link?

Non-doom post: we saw Pillion this weekend and it was so good.

We desperately need another candidate to enter that race, with Janet Mills polling so far behind Nazi tattoo guy.

Also I wonder if there is a jurisdictional hook for any state level prosecution. Polymarket HQ is in NYC

Well in theory if they’re not pardoned and the statute of limitations hasn’t run, a new admin could prosecute them in 2029

congress sounds cool i wish it was real

Exclusive: Prior to Iran attacks, CIA assessed Khamenei would be replaced by hardline IRGC elements if killed, sources say In the run-up to the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Saturday, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency assessed that even if Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the operation, he would likely be replaced by hardline figures from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), two sources briefed on the intelligence said.

The judges in WV have seen enough.

They say that if the ICE continues detaining people in ways they have unanimously deemed illegal they will start issuing civil fines and contempt findings — including against state officials who help them carry it out.

When you’re trying your hardest to lose your base of support

"We must reject political violence of any kind," says Trump, who pardoned hundreds of violent rioters who participated in the Jan. 6 insurrection that he inspired.

I wonder if we’ll see the Bush appointees on the Fifth Circuit take senior status soon and push that court somehow even further right

Any idea if they’ll call the vote again not under suspension

What the actual fuck

Very overdue. Really wish there would be a bipartisan bill transferring control of DC local parks to DC govt
