Gorsuch is appearing at the Nixon Library to promote his new book. He previously appeared at the Nixon Library to plug his last book, “A Republic, If You Can Keep It.” Irony is dead. And because it was an official act, no one can be prosecuted for the murder. www.nixonfoundation.org/event/suprem...

SCOTUS' ruling on social media was a bigger deal than it first seemed. Content moderation and ranking algorithms are now First Amendment-protected speech, and that has big implications for the internet. My newsletter today: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

People keep asking me what this is in reference to, and the answer is not some singular event. It's been decades of political and cultural pressure to erode the right to free speech. None of this is new. Hell, it's been a step by step reenactment of Weimar Berlin from 100 years ago.

I know smut may seem like a frivolous thing to be upset about, but crushing it is part of fascism. Controlling all forms of sexual expression is fascism. Only allowing certain kinds is fascism. Smut peddlers are always canaries in the coal mines.

The hypocrisy, it burns.
