Y'all ... some sad news today. The great Augie Meyers --- longtime compadre of Doug Sahm and a member of the great Texas Tornadoes --- has died. Here's a photo of Augie I took in 2018. I spoke with him at length afterward and he was really just a nice, genuine, sweetheart of a man. RIP Augie!!
Medical experts say that if you contract pneumonia you should visit a doctor. A guy who eats dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says you should just bathe in raw sewage instead. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.
The top half is an image of students walking towards a school building in front of a yellow school bus. Below the image is the headline "breaking news" in all caps on a red background. Below the headline is the text: "new voucher application data highlights strong support for Texas public schools." At the bottom is the TXCVT logo.
Breaking: 76% of TX voucher applications come from families whose children are not currently enrolled in public schools.
Meanwhile, <1% of TX public and charter school families have applied for vouchers.

Or more broadly stated, "There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
"An Originalist Critique of Fetal Personhood" w Chip Carter is officially online (& forthcoming in U. Penn. L. Rev.)! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers..... We scour 19th cen. dictionaries & the context in which the 14A was ratified to discover the original public & legal meaning of "person" in 1868.
This is not a thing that happens in large numbers, particularly when there is a high profile contested primary.
And what of 'hard earned', was the pun only mildly intended?

Substantive due process has not been of late in the good graces of this Court—and especially of the Members of today’s majority. The Due Process Clause, needless to say, does not expressly grant parental rights of any kind. The relevant text bars a State only from depriving a person of “liberty” “without due process of law.” Members of the majority often have expressed skepticism—sometimes outright hostility—to understanding the “capacious” term “liberty” to enshrine specific
rights. Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization...(2022). Substantive due process, one has
stated, is a “particularly dangerous” “legal fiction” because
it “invites judges” to “roa[m] at large in the constitutional
field guided only by their personal views.” McDonald v.
Chicago...(2010) (THOMAS , J., concurring
in part and concurring in judgment); Obergefell v. Hodges,
...(2015) (THOMAS , J., dissenting). [see footnote 2] Another has pointed to the “judicial misuse of the so-called ‘substantive component’ of due process to dictate policy on
matters that belonged to the people to decide.” Sessions v.
Dimaya, ...(2018) (GORSUCH , J., concurring
in part and concurring in judgment). And yet a third, when
defending the Court’s elimination of a 50-year-old right
grounded in substantive due process, explained that the
“Constitution does not grant the nine unelected Members of
this Court the unilateral authority to rewrite the Constitution.” Dobbs, 597 U. S., at 340 (KAVANAUGH , J., concur-
ring). There are many such statements to choose from in
this Court’s recent substantive due process caselaw. Especially given the Court’s last venture into the field, today’s..

For that reason, JUSTICE THOMAS has called for overruling “all” of this
Court’s “substantive due process precedents.” Dobbs...(concurring opinion). That invitation presumably extends to the

Elena Kagan from the top rope: "The Due Process Clause, needless to say, does not expressly grant parental rights of any kind..."
Then she throws the words of Thomas and Kavanaugh from Dobbs, and Gorsuch from another case, back in their faces www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
I feel quite confident that there are positions to the "left" of the democratic party that are in fact very popular which he would not consider mainstream. Mainstream is both a dog whistle and a stand in for his own personal policy preferences.
Meanwhile what drives me absolutely fucking insane is that I have been described as a "conspiracy theorist" for stating that the entire anti-trans moral panic was a psyop, when they had a public summit in which the principal actors explicitly said "we're going to start an anti-trans moral panic."
While "natural gas sellers and pipeline companies made roughly $11 billion" during Winter Storm Uri in 2021, consumers were left to foot the bill "through non-bypassable bill charges for 20 to 30 years." #txlege
How Texas Turned a Grid Failure into a Public Bailout

Horrific injustice upon horrific injustice compounds in Texas. These young girls — some as young as 13 — deserve freedom, access to care, and control over their own bodies. Half of these CHILDREN are pregnant as a result of SA. Again, abortion bans are a weapon for authoritarian rule.
Literal LOL
The Trump administration is forcing child rape victims to give birth in captivity in Texas. I sound like an insane person but that is actually what this news story says
This is Molly Phillips erasure.
Pregnant children detained by ICE are being sent to a shelter that has inadequate medical care. The whole area has little medical care. All of these pregnancies are high risk because the girls are very young - some only 10 or 11.
Most became pregnant because they were raped.
WaPo editorial board when TX imposes a legislative gerrymander: don't freak out guys! Not a threat to democracy!
When VA responds to TX with *referendum* on their own gerrymander: brass-knuckled hypocrisy, anti-democratic gamesmanship.
There is hypocrisy here, all right, but not from VA.
Or, and hear me out, don't upload photos and videos that could facilitate a statewide takeover of your local school district and arbitrary consequences for children.
Kudos to Julie Le for upholding her duty of candor to the tribunal.
I fear your never in front absolutism would not survive a visit to Phoenix or other parts of the desert southwest
I've criticized Heller and Bruen, but the only thing worse than an unfettered right to guns is an unfettered right to guns that's selectively extended or withheld by the state.
Kavanaugh broken window and assault.
Who should we be rooting for?

“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.”
