"As is so often the case with commentary about the emergency docket, the Court’s defenders make arguments that sound outwardly reasonable, but that depend entirely on cherry-picking their examples and ignoring the counterexamples."
Me on the barrage of commentary attacking the Times' #SCOTUS scoop:
There aren’t enough words for how much I enjoyed Christian on #Survivor50. The fun, humour, heart & thought he brought to the season has been a highlight. He cemented himself as one of #Survivor’s best ever characters & brought me so much joy. Thank you Christian.
#Survivor50 isn’t great but it’s a privilege to watch Cirie weave her magic every week #Survivor

Corporate media once again ignoring history. There is no reason under the sun to believe this is anything more than a rat leaving a sinking ship.
Warren: "[Trump] claims that Trump Rx has reduced prices by as much as 600%, which I think means companies should be paying you to take their drugs."
RFK Jr: "President Trump has a different way of calculating."

Also, the hilarity of Kash's attempts to deny Atlantic's report:
1) Todd Blanche makes two false claims abt the report, which he says he didn't read.
2) Kash filibusters a request to deny he has been intoxicated for > minute, then denies he's been drunk ON THE JOB.
3) Accuses his lawyers of lying.

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals
So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

@msnownews.bsky.social Well, Katy, you got had. Lie after lie after lie, spinning, and rudeness and you sat there. Why do you have him on?
Doctors say that measles is one of the deadliest and most contagious infectious diseases in the world. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and cuts penises off raccons says you'll be fine if you drink raw milk and bathe in raw sewage. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.
And just to be clear, all of these people were always crazy assholes. They may have positioned themselves as moderate or liberals or whatever but they were always insane assholes. And they dominated a lot of popular discourse.
(2/X) the debate was between Camille Paglia and Naomi Wolf. Also both Trumpers now.
An enormous percentage of the self-promoting gasbags of 90s political/"culutural" tv became Trumpers.
There's a reason why things are so fucked up now.
(1/X) People sometimes wonder how things got so crazy in this country. Well, look back at the '90s: for Clinton impeachment, you had Alan Dershowitz on Geraldo arguing against impeachment and Jon Turley arguing for it. All three of course became Trumpers.

Wartime Headline Rating: C. Clear, simple reportage. Use of "alarmed" in the dek is something, but "some" is inaccurate; "most" is better, "established" would hit the mark.
Republicans may lose both Congress and the White House in 2028. But if they can cause a long and deep economic downturn, they are likely to return to power in 2030 and 2032.
