I just realized that David Bautista should play Mayor Eric Adams in Escape from New York 2.

I'ma get working on the script just as soon as this term wraps up.

Chris Hayes Irulan Corrino: 'Prophets become more powerful as martyrs'
Kathy Hochul Harkonnen: 'Whatever. Never obliterate a man unthinkingly... always do it for an overriding purpose.'

Jonel I think I'm more hoping that SCOTUS squirting lemon juice in everyone's eyes makes some people say 'hey, wait, this is wrong.' Instead of 'welp, one party squirts it in your eyes and the other makes lemonade, but they're both using lemons so both are the same.'

I'm trying to convince myself that SCOTUS upholding Idaho's draconian abortion ban in June will refocus the country and the media on what's at stake in the election.

('Whenever God closes a door, he opens a window...so you can hear the lamentations and screams' or something.)

Jack Smith only has one job: To take Donald Trump to trial before the election. One problem: The Supreme Court is gumming up the works.

That's just facts, gleaned from the public record. Procedure trouncing substance.

I wrote about it for VANITY FAIR: vanityfair.com/news/story/jac…

There is more courage in these three paragraphs written by a 14-year-old Palestinian girl than what, like, 98% of American politicans have been able to muster thenation.com/article/world/…

I've listened to every oral argument by Elizabeth Prelogar as solicitor general, and I can confidently say she sounded legitimately infuriated defending the federal law guaranteeing emergency room care at every U.S. hospital.

This indignation may well be her finest moment.

McWhorter: Listen to what's happening.
Columbia students: [listen]
McWhorter: No. Not like that!

Me: I put all my points into constitutional law and communications.
America: Ouch. We've nerfed the rule of law bonus and communications only procs if a rich white guy agrees with you.
Me: Can I respec?
America: Candace Owens did.
Me: ...
America: Sorry your build sucks.

I'm having a real, Good Will Hunting 'What's wrong with fixing somebody's car? Somebody can get to work because of me. There's honor in that!' moment.

I should develop a real skill instead of doing this shit.

Rose Benson How do you define evil? If by 'effectiveness at bringing about evil outcomes' mine goes:

1. Alito
2. Roberts
3. Gorsuch
4. Thomas
5. Brett
6. Barrett

I don't *think* I heard 5-4 to stop Idaho. I think I heard 6-3 to let women die.

Barret and Kav will bury their heads in the sand and lie and say that Idaho law doesn't actually conflict with the federal one, so Idaho can keep doing what it wants.

Today at the United States Supreme Court.

Justice Kagan just noted a fact we reported in Slate: In the short time that Idaho has been allowed to enforce its abortion ban against women who need emergency termination, SIX women have been airlifted to another state for care that's illegal in Idaho. slate.com/news-and-polit…

The SCOTUS men would literally know more about reproductive health if ALL they did was actually read the articles in Playboy.

That was fucking awful.

Prelogar has absolutely had it with Alito
