I think about this with the judiciary as well. I'm all for expanding the Court but even after court reform it could take decades to reimagine the jurisprudence of the Roberts Court on a lot of key issues, and it will take a bold vision and strategic litigation to do so.

Federal judge unloads on ‘unserious’ RFK Jr., says anti-trans policy showed his ‘cruelty’ Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai vacated the “Kennedy Declaration,” finding it unlawfully attempted to override medical standards and restrict care for transgender youth.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.

“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”

It’s a telling indicator of media desensitization that the US government’s ongoing program of murder on the high seas—which according to the perpetrators has killed fourteen (14) people this week— is no longer a subject for much serious or sustained news coverage.

It sounds like something I would say and I mean that in the most judgmental way possible.

As a citizen I think she should lose her job but as a gay man I unfortunately will be quoting “how about the josh sauvi B” for the rest of my life.

The Supreme Court Keeps Embracing Convenient Lies to Excuse Rank Bigotry Trans kids are only the latest victims of the justices’ willingness to buy dubious arguments in support of a reactionary policy agenda.

BREAKING: The Montana Supreme Court temporarily blocked a state policy that would have prevented transgender people from obtaining accurate IDs.

We will continue fighting until this law is blocked for good.

I feel like Iowa is the unsung potential flip of 2026 - and with Grassley now 92 and up in 2028 in a presidential election year, it feels like Dems should be deeply investing there.

for sure, congratulations to magyar. but the real heroes imo are those in civil society & journalism & rank-and-file opposition & academia who have fought against the disintegration of rule of law, the weaponization of the courts/media, & so much more for so long. 🇭🇺

I'm a huge fan of the Remarkable - especially over breaks when I travel, being able to bring 1000+ pages of reading and all the exams I have to grade, and then being able to mark them up with notes and export the files to my desktop, has been a total game changer.
