He can just use state power to make bad things worse, blame others, and demand that we don’t hold elections. That’s it, that’s the whole plot; and if we don’t see it that’s on us. (3/3)

that levitt simply ignored the question is entirely leavitt's fault, and the administration can correct this record any time they feel like it, no one is under any obligation to be charitable to them
you ever think how this is all because america elected a centre-left black president once, and the right never forgave the left for it
A blocked order still signals intent, keeps an issue salient, and produces months of political conflict. The performance of executive overreach, and the consequences that come with it, may be a feature of policymaking here, not a bug.
A series of Bluesky posts all exclaiming how ridiculous Kyle Schwarber is.
WELCOME BACK, BASEBALL.
Something that speaks to a sudden decline in our society is the amount of people I’ve seen lately approaching stop signs and then going right through them like “nope, don’t believe in this anymore!”

“If you believe in bodily autonomy you have to accept vaccine deniers.”

Jamelle Bouie clearly and quite publicly works very hard to be informed and even-handed and anyone talking about him as if he’s not doing either of those things should shut the fuck up and definitely be widely ignored
That Trump neck thing? Seen it before.
Interphasic parasites that feed on cellular peptides.
