I would joke that they've declared the Declaration of Independence unconstitutional, but it doesn't feel like a joke. These were all "official acts" as well.
Breaking News: The Supreme Court ruled that Donald Trump is entitled to some level of immunity from prosecution, a decision that may effectively delay the trial on charges against him of plotting to subvert the 2020 election. nyti.ms/3ztCTsg
All the serious issues aside, why wouldn't an outgoing president sell himself an aircraft carrier and a couple of nukes? Maybe transfer some buildings and stuff from the Smithsonian?
Did not think they'd go this far, for self preservation if nothing else. Why grab all that power just to give someone else the ability to drone strike you?
Anyway, love this from the textualists.
Their anti trans and pro cop beats aren't considered "opinion". It wasn't the opinion section that cut an exclusive deal to push Bannons smears about Clinton. It wasn't the opinion section when the owner got pissy about Biden not giving them an interview.
That money goes toward a lot more than Opinion, like worldwide beat reporters, war reporters, fact-checkers, lawyers and countless people who aren’t spouting takes but genuinely committed to publishing journalism versus the alternative, which is unregulated social media algorithms choosing fake news
There are two kinds of people in the world: the people who think a mask ban at protests will only be used against people at a protest, and the people who know the LAPD will suddenly start calling two Black people hanging out outside “a protest.”
My sons preschool recently had a "truck day" where they asked people to bring cool trucks for the kids to see. There were firetrucks, snowplows, garbage trucks, etc.
And some guy brought a cybertruck.
But that's actually a lie.

I love watching Yamal in new competitions, because everything he does he's instantly the youngest player to ever do it and the announcers love pointing it out.
This is the weirdest article I've ever seen. I can't tell if it's sarcastic or not, but for some reason they seem convinced that a company with ~1% market share is the dominant force. Oh and also the one synonymous with the category is also there.
So the bull thesis on Tesla is that it's an AI stock, not an auto OEM reverting to the mean amidst surging competition. Meanwhile, its CEO is reallocating assets to his private company at the expense of TSLA. hmmmm.

If you define the lifelong ideologue who devoted his career to destroying the Voting Rights Act as a hair right of center, then the Supreme Court is a surprisingly centrist institution
There are two types of lawyers. 95% do one or two specific things and will happily admit that they don't know anything else (usually so friends and family don't ask for advice). 5% are confidently explaining something outside their field right now.
not the most important angle, but i got the ny trial right while so many legal experts flubbed it bc, when the charges dropped, i (1) recognized it was outside my area of expertise and so (2) went and talked to people who knew the law and practiced in the jurisdiction.
The cast of the new Reagan movie is something else.
Not sure what's my favorite, but casting Robert Davi as Leonid Brezhnev is certainly a choice. I bet he plays him as a Fedora Guy.
It is fun to see how uncomfortable some people get when you point out how many of their venerated traditional recipes are extremely dependent on New World produce that no one in their country had heard of before the 1500s.
I wonder what percentage of Google revenue is based on company name blackmail advertising.
Its gotta be at least a 3rd based on how often I search a company name and get a link to their ad instead of the website.
Any decently large company that doesn't have that technology where instead of waiting on hold they just call you when it's your turn must be destroyed.
