i think akhil amar reed captures something very important, which is that the roberts court rewrote article ii, which explicitly states that a president can be held criminally liable after impeachment (and which has long been understood to mean that he can be held liable after leaving office)

Something Has Gone Deeply Wrong at the Supreme Courtwww.theatlantic.com Jurists who preach fidelity to the Constitution are making decisions that flatly contradict our founding document’s text and ideals.

Continuing my lonely and probably kid-embarrassing but objectively righteous campaign of bellowing “Louie Louie” at top volume during the seventh-inning stretch.

Remember how I’ve been saying our democracy depends on your vote this November? This is one thousand times truer now.

And mine.

Just read a post suggesting that Troi's empathy is just an ability to hear the episode's background music when someone is speaking. This is now my personal canon.

If you really thought Trump was going to wipe the floor with "Sleepy Joe," you wouldn't spend the whole week before the debate smearing the moderator and preemptively accusing Biden of being on performance enhancing drugs

they are not projecting confidence about how Thursday is going to go

If you’ve ever sat at a stoplight trying to brush your teeth before the light turns green, you might be a woodwind player. #AmFluting

On the pod, @pkrugman.bsky.social is terrific on how dangerous it is that voters are forgetting the horrors of Trump's last year in office. "Everything that should have been a disqualifying personality flaw in 2020 has gotten far worse," Krugman says. Listen: newrepublic.com/article/1827...

Krugman: Trump’s Mental State Is Visibly Getting Much More Alarmingnewrepublic.com With Anthony Fauci revealing new details about Trump's unfitness to serve, columnist Paul Krugman explains why our amnesia about the damage wrought by his unstable temperament is so worrisome.

Sometimes I think it would be more efficient and cost-effective for our family simply to run our own Parmesan manufactory.

I never noticed before that there’s a scene in Inside Out where Michael Giacchino pretty much quotes from his own music from the first season of Lost.

FYI

There was momentary silence around the fire … and then there was the 11-year-old’s voice: “I can do armpit farts.”

Alito lied about the reason the flag was up because he didn’t know the couple had text messages establishing the date of when the incident took place. They were supporting the insurrection. www.nytimes.com/2024/05/28/u...

Democrats need to make the Supreme Court - not just Dobbs, but the threat posed by the court itself - a bigger issue in the campaign. I make the case at MSNBC:

Opinion | It’s time for Justice Alito to face some consequenceswww.msnbc.com Democrats should make the Supreme Court more of a campaign issue

"Trump has shown in the past that he intends to dismantle democracy; he's promised the same in the future. Fair presidential elections may be coming to an end if he wins. Horserace coverage is misleading if it fails to make clear that in the near future there may be nothing but rigged races."

Trump isn't joking about serving 3 or more termswww.publicnotice.co He wouldn't leave power willingly the first time. He won't if he returns to power.

Josh Jones wasn’t expecting to lose his dream job. The first Black musician in the orchestra’s history to land a leadership position, his departure would soon trigger a larger debate in the orchestra world about race, tradition and how the profession welcomes, or resists, new members.

A Black rising star lost his elite orchestra job. He won’t go quietly.www.washingtonpost.com Josh Jones thought he was unfairly let go from the Kansas City Symphony and went public about a system some think hobbles the careers of promising musicians.
