“The spokesman did not respond to questions about whether Mr. Patel was aware of the inquiry into Ms. Williamson or whether he condoned the use of government resources to examine routine news gathering activities by a reporter.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...
“Because of an editing error, an earlier version of this article misstated which day the New York Mets suffered their 11th straight loss. It was on Sunday, not Monday. Even the Mets cannot lose on an off day.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/n...
Sigh.
There are too many newsletters.
This piece is essential reading for everyone in Massachusetts. The proposals pose real risks to everyone, including kids. @evangreer.bsky.social and @nathaliemarechal.net explain why and what could be done instead.
Uncommonly preposterous legal theory + obviously motivated by SPLC’s viewpoint that white supremacy is bad.
Yikes.
This is monstrous. Just profoundly shameful behavior by our government.

Trump “has an intuitive understanding that [Steve] Jobs would not have kissed his ass, and to Trump, that’s the most important thing about [Tim] Cook.”
MAGA has fantasized about criminalizing the SPLC for a decade—regardless of the org’s many flaws, the MAGA DOJ is corrupt and weaponized.

Yikes.
Everest isn’t going to climb itself.
Hooms are you high.
Holy yikes.

Oh brother.
NEW: The 2016 Supreme Court memos and the mess that John Roberts has made of his court.
The New York Times scoop about the Clean Power Plan case SCOTUS memos highlights the conservative justices' brazen disregard for their own rules — both then and now.
Tonight, at Law Dork:
Every Mets season feels like a sledgehammer to the skull so this makes sense
this is correct because people who know how to talk to "ordinary people" just actually TALK TO ORDINARY PEOPLE, lol. They don't speak like PUNDITS. That's what Beshear was doing. He sounds like Rahm Emanuel which means he sounds like a loser.
it is, among other things, incredibly striking to see that roberts was so solicitous of the burden the clean power plan might put on fossil fuel executives, when, a decade later, he is indifferent to the way trump’s moves have thrown hundreds of thousands of lives into turmoil.
You go to war with the Yikeses you have not the Yikeses you wish you had.
