NEW EPISODE: Republicans have launched multiple programs and announcements promoting early and mail-in voting. The reality is that while the GOP is claiming one thing, they’re doing another by filing lawsuits to restrict mail-in voting access. Watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-RP...

Bernie Sanders on Face the Nation: "What we are talking about now is not a Grammy award contest for best singer. Biden is old. He's not as articulate as he once was. I wish he could jump up the steps on Air Force One. He can't. What we have got to focus on is policy."

The Economist has some astonishing figures on Russian losses in Ukraine. They surpass all losses by the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation from 1945 to 2022 combined. Up to 728,000 soldiers eliminated, confirming Ukraine’s figures. 1/2

Apparently his posts here and on X are not meant to invite discussion. We are supposed to bow down in awe of his great wisdom and not add our own thoughts.

I spent almost every childhood summer in Crimea and have always thought of it as my second home. In my recent essay, I shared memories from Crimea and the effects of Russian occupation. I’ll be glad if you read it! daryazorka.substack.com/p/crimea-a-s...

Project 2025 is a nearly 1000-page step-by-step playbook that would turn America into an authoritarian nightmare and shred our freedoms. Trump can try to distance himself from it but it was put together by more than 20 officials he appointed in his first term. Don't be fooled.

What jurisdiction can charge him? And is a tiktok enough evidence to be convicted or do I have to go pose as an unhoused person with a hidden cam?

18 U.S.C. § 472 makes it a federal crime to pass counterfeit currency.
As a side note, this is John McEntee, Trump's Director of White House Personnel and the primary architect of Project 2025. On Tik Tok he said he gives counterfeit bills to homeless people so they will be arrested when they go to spend them.

Another recent example in Munoz. Barrett cites Madison's Report of 1800, quoting as if it's his position a hypothetical premise he's actually stating for arguments sake, says he's not conceding, and dismisses as irrelevant. She plainly didn't even read the sentences directly around what she quoted.

Kagan wasn't just blowing smoke with "we're all originalists now." Sotomayor's dissent is originalism. Roberts and Thomas opinions are, as Radley aptly puts it, "shitposting libs-owning," with a couple of cherry-picked misrepresented Founder quotes that wouldn't pass muster for a high school essay.
Among other questions, I wonder how we got to the point where “separation of powers” means the judiciary can prohibit the executive from holding itself accountable. radleybalko.substack.com/p/the-suprem...

Yesterday, Ukrainian forces targeted and struck two military facilities in occupied Donetsk region. In Debaltseve, they hit a logistics center where Russian forces stored tank equipment and ammunition. In Novoluhanske, they destroyed the expensive Russian automated jamming station R-330Zh "Zhitel."
